I Won’t Pick Up The Trash I Threw Away Again - Chapter 119

Chapter 119

Tears streamed down as she shook her head.

“I’ve never done that! A fake pregnancy? What nonsense!”

Cecily wrapped her slender belly with both hands.

“Phil, you saw it too, right?! You all saw it, right?! My belly is getting bigger day by day!”

“…”

“If I was faking pregnancy, how could it be bigger if there’s no child inside me? Don’t you agree?”

Because it was true, Philen’s piercing gaze calmed down instantly. He sighed deeply, sweeping his hair up, and looked at me.

“Cecily is right. Her belly certainly kept getting bigger until the due time. It can never be fake.”

“There’s a secret there too.”

I took out the spirit stone necklace from my reticule and showed it to everyone, especially Cecily so that she could see it well.

“This is the secret.”

“It’s a lie!”

Cecily jumped up from her seat and shouted.

“I’ve never worn a spirit stone necklace!”

Ah, she got caught.

“Spirit stone necklace?”

I tilted my head slightly.

“I never said this necklace was a spirit stone necklace, though. How do you know that?”

“…!”

Cecily’s eyes grew even bigger than before.

Philen spoke on Cecily’s behalf, who was speechless.

“Haven’t I told you before? She used to wear the same necklace. That’s why she can know right away.”

Is Philen going to cover Cecily to the end? Or is he unable to accept the reality that the child he cherished is fake?

It didn’t matter either way. Because the only thing that mattered was to reveal my and Misa’s innocence.

“This spirit stone necklace has the ability to change parts of the body. Conversion.”

When I briefly shouted the starting word, my belly got bigger as if I was pregnant.

Their eyes changed as if they couldn’t believe it when they saw it.

I turned my belly back to normal and said. 

“I think she deceived us all by using this ability.”

“Ridiculous!”

Cecily responded sharply.

“Where’s the proof that I used the necklace?”

“The proof is in your body.”

“My… body?”

“If it is used for a long time, traces of mana will remain on the body. If you didn’t use it, there would be no trace of it.”

When I beckoned, the wizard took the cue and came forward. 

“So let’s test it, Miss Cecily. If there are no traces on your body, I will get down on my knees and apologize.”

I get a bad feeling.

Mavel stared at the hallway where the dining room was located.

The servants’ movements have been unusual since earlier. It’s also unusual for Sir Rohen to storm into the dining room out of nowhere with a wizard and a pharmacist.

After being chased by loan sharks for a long time, his developed senses were shouting that he should run away immediately.

Then I should run away.

It doesn’t matter if I run away because I have already secured my share.

Mavel immediately packed up and headed to the back door used by the servants. 

Everyone’s attention was focused on the dining room, so the back door was quiet. It was only passed by all the servants once in a while too.

When Mavel, who arrived at the back door while avoiding their eyes, was about to open the door.

Swish! 

Something sharp slid past his cheek and stuck on the door.   

Mavel was startled. He stepped away from the door and looked at it.

There were only dents and traces of water on the place where something should be stuck, but nothing was there.

“Wh, what?”  

“Ah, sorry.”

An eerie voice that could make someone’s spine shiver was heard. When he turned around, he saw a man with a hood over his head. 

The seemingly suspicious man was exuding a dangerous mood.

“It’s my habit to chase a rat that runs away.”

He knew he had to say something or run away, but he couldn’t. It was because his whole body had hardened with fear. The strength in his fingers also wasn’t enough to hold his bag, so Mavel dropped it. 

As soon as the cheap bag fell, it opened its mouth wide and showed its contents. Clothes, all kinds of vials, and a stethoscope.

“You are a doctor, huh?”

The man smiled and looked Mavel in the eye. His blue eyes flashed eerily under the hood.

“Are you the doctor who was in charge of the Duke’s mistress by any chance?”

“…”

BANG-!

When Mavel didn’t answer, the man punched the back door hard. 

The solid door shattered. It was such a terrifying power.

His legs trembled and couldn’t stand properly at the thought that he might get hit by that fist. And eventually, Mavel sat down on the floor. 

The man looked down at Mavel and asked again.

“Didn’t I ask you if you were the doctor in charge of Duke Williot’s mistress?”   

“Yes, yes, that’s right! I, I am the doctor who was in charge of her!”

“Really?”

The man smiled a little and bent his knees to Mavel’s eye level.

“Then, let me ask you one thing.”

“Wh, whatever you want…”  

“Duke Williot’s mistress, is she really pregnant?”

When asked about that out of the blue, Mavel tried to think about what he should do, but the man didn’t give him time to think.

“Answer me.”

Before he knew it, the man, who drew his sword, pointed the tip at Mavel’s neck. 

Blood flowed down the blade with sharp pain.

“Is Duke Williot’s mistress really pregnant?”

It was only for money that Mavel was attached to Cecily. There was no such thing as a speck of loyalty.

“That…!”

He couldn’t use the money if he lost his life and he wanted to live, so he blew up everything even though the man didn’t ask. 

Hearing Mavel’s story, the man smiled slightly and straightened his bent knees. The sword that was aimed at his neck went back into the scabbard.

“What’s your name?”

“My, my name is Mavel.”  

“Yeah, Mavel.”

“…uphh!”

In an instant, the man reached out and covered Mavel’s mouth. Soon, something entered his mouth.

Mavel’s eyes widened as he swallowed it without realizing it.

“Go to the dining room right now and tell them everything you told me, without exception.”

The hood was removed, revealing the man’s blue hair. 

The man smiled creepily with his darker eyes.

“If you tell them even the slightest lie, then your life will fly away.”

Cecily didn’t want to be tested, but she had no choice but to do it because Philen told her to. 

And the result was, of course, positive. There were traces of mana flowing through her body. It was also in bulk.

It was proof that she had been using the spirit stone for a long time. If it was used once or twice, there would be no trace of this.

“This, this can’t be the evidence!”

There was so much evidence, but Cecily still denied it.

“Above all, where is the evidence that I ordered Ellie to buy women’s products? It’s all just words!”

“Sir Rohen.”

Rohen handed me a small box. Inside the box was a jewel the size of a fingernail.

“Do you remember this jewel?”

“How can I know that?!”

“It’s the jewel you gave to the store to buy women’s products.”

If she weren’t really pregnant, she would continue to have menstruation while acting.

To deal with it, she inevitably had to use women’s products, and she couldn’t have asked the mansion outright. Also, her pride wouldn’t have allowed her to use cheap things that the maids used. So Cecily secretly bought luxury women’s products by selling the jewel.

However, the jewel was suspected of being stolen, so it went into Sir Rohen’s hand and eventually came into my hand.

“It, it’s not me! I don’t know such a jewel!”

“…no, you know.”

It was Philen who answered. His golden eyes which sank darkly stared at Cecily.

“Because I gave you that jewel as a gift.”

He even remembers that?

It was a little unexpected, but it helped me.

Cecily’s face turned pale.

“It, it could be a similar jewel!”

“You were a princess before and you didn’t know it?”

I laughed a little and countered Cecily’s words.

“To prevent it becoming stolen goods, all jewels are engraved.”

“…!”

Looking at her widening eyes, she didn’t seem to know about it. Or forgot? 

Cecily flinched back. Her face, which had been pale, became paler before she knew it. Her wide-open eyes shook helplessly.

On the other hand, Philen’s shaky eyes hardened in an instant. He bit his lip so hard that it bled, then shouted loudly.  

“Bring Mavel right now!”

It was Mavel who took care of Cecily during her pregnancy and diagnosed her child as a stillbirth. However, if Cecily faked her pregnancy, it meant that Mavel also made a false diagnosis.

So, if he was questioned, I could get closer to the truth than using these miscellaneous methods. But then, if Mavel denied it with his ridiculous royalty, the case would have fallen into the dark again.

“A, all pregnancy diagnoses are false! Young Lady Cecily has never been pregnant!”

Fortunately, Mavel confessed everything. Everything, without any exception.

The fake pregnancy was shocking, but what was even more shocking to me was that it was Mavel who killed Misa. Of course, he said he didn’t do it alone, but with the help of Cecily and Ellie.

“…that’s it.” 

CRUSH-!

As soon as Mavel’s story was over, the sound of something breaking was heard.

It was the sound of the chair that Philen was clenching. The chair made of solid wood couldn’t withstand his terrifying grip and shattered.

“ARGHH!” 

Soon with a shout, Philen threw the chair away.

“Run, RUN AWAY!”

The people standing there fled in surprise.

“Argh, ARGHHHHH!!”

As if throwing a chair wasn’t enough, Philen threw anything he could get.
