Although I Am Supposed to Be the Villainess (Planned), I Just Want to Eat Confectionery – I Will Aim for a Peaceful Life with the Block Skill

Chapter 82: The kidnapping drama is meant to be…
There’s no way out of this, and I don’t want them to know about my skill.
I’d like to find out who did this anyway.
To achieve the two goals, I close my eyes.
Someone approaches. I can hear footsteps.
“As planned. Take both of them.”
Together with a responding voice, I was placed on something like a cloth stretcher and thrown onto a hard wood surface. I wanted to cry out when I was touched because my limbs were numb, but somehow I endured it.
I heard another sound, so Michelia must have been moved in the same way.
Soon after, the thing I was riding on started to shake and sway, so I think it must be a carriage.
I wonder where we are being taken…
Even if I open my eyes slightly to check, I can’t see anything because I am wrapped in cloth.
If someone is close by, the moment I open the cloth they will know that I am not sleeping. It is not good to fall into that situation with a numb body.
Above all, I don’t want the people who kidnapped me to know about my skill, which is my last trump card.
However, I will try to activate my skill to prevent being killed immediately and to keep anything from touching me within a distance of about the tips of my fingers, as a precaution.
Hmm, I feel like my body is floating a bit.
Apparently, the carriage has also become a refusal target, and my body is floating. As a result, I can avoid being hit by the creaking of the wood every time the boards vibrate. An unexpected byproduct.
It took a very long time until the carriage finally stopped.
I was almost about to fall asleep.
“Wake her up.”
Hmm…? That voice sounds very familiar.
Could it be Miss Elena?
“Don’t you have any medicine to wake her up? There should be, right? I thought I said I wanted to kill her slowly and with terror.”
This high-handed way of speaking, the unreasonable content of the words, all of them are characteristic of Miss Elena.
“Please wait a moment. It may not have an immediate effect, but…”
After those words, I was taken out of the carriage. I stayed in a very thin Block Skill to deny contact, but they didn’t seem to notice.
Then, suddenly, a strong smell similar to cinnamon tickles my nose.
It’s supposed to wake me up, so it can’t be a bad medicine. Rather, it might be a detoxification medicine.
I sniff it gently, thinking I’ll block it immediately if it’s dangerous.
Ah, I did it. My numbness has also improved. It looks like it was a detoxification medicine after all.
“Ugh…”
A moan sounded next to me. Michelia also seemed to have awakened.
I also have to pretend to wake up.
First, I open my eyes slightly.
The cloth covering me is removed and I can see trees with lush green leaves. Actually, no matter where I move my gaze, it’s just trees.
Is this a forest?
Near me and Michelia are two young men wearing matching green jackets. The figures of the men who tried to kidnap Michelia are also there.
Michelia wakes up before me and stands up, screaming.
“Elena-sama, why!”
Oh, the owner of that voice was Miss Elena after all.
“I was told I was only supposed to lure her! Did you trick me?!”
“It’s inconvenient to be accused of making a pretense. The invitation was only to lure her, right? It was also I who arranged for you to be unconscious and brought here.”
“I wasn’t told that I would be involved too! I want to go home.”
Michelia stands up unsteadily, but is immediately held by one of the kidnappers with her arms crossed behind her.
“No, let me go!”
Miss Elena laughs at Michelia’s appearance.
“Well, I just forgot to tell you that you would be disposed of together.”
“Why…”
“I can’t just leave the moth always clinging to Albert-sama’s side, can I?”
From what I heard, Michelia seems to have been deceived into carrying out one half of a plot to kill me.
It seems that Elena wanted to dispose of me together.
If Miss Elena wants to monopolize Albert, it’s natural for her to think that way. It’s very annoying, though.
But then, Miss Elena said something outrageous.
“There’s just one condition, if you meet it, I’ll overlook you… Kill Linea over there.”
“Wha—.”
I stood up in a hurry.
At almost the same time, Miss Elena’s servant threw a short sword at Michelia.
Michelia, looking at the short sword that had fallen at her feet, looked at me and then slowly picked up the short sword.
Michelia seems to be motivated.
Elena has a full smile on her face.
“If you can do it, I’ll give you one more reward. I’ll keep the fact that you killed Linea a secret between us. If you keep quiet, Albert-sama might still care for you without knowing that you did such a terrible thing. If you’re inconspicuous and don’t make a fuss, I’ll overlook it as much as being a mistress.”
Michelia unsheathed the short sword.
She looks up at me as I stand up.
