I Plan to Escape From My Villainous Boss

Short working hours, high pay, and a friendly, handsome superior.

For Luelia, who had a sickly older sister to care for, no workplace could have been more perfect.

Except for the fact that her superior was destined to become a villain and meet his ruin over an unrequited love.

In the end, she offered him all manner of advice in hopes of saving the man she so admired.

“How about sending a gift to the young lady of Count Emil’s household to build a connection?”

“Why would I? The one who needs my power should be the one sending gifts.”

“I’ve heard that Miss Emil prefers a gentle man, like His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Do you know how many swindlers there are among gentle men? Don’t tell me you’re into that type too?”

Despite all her efforts, his unrequited love crumbled to nothing.

Was he truly going to become a villain at this rate?

“Your Grace, you must never quarrel with Miss Aila.”

“If things don’t go my way, I’ll simply lock her up for a while and explain until she understands.”

It seemed avoiding fate was a lost cause.

“I…… think I’ll need to return to my hometown for a while to look after my sister.”

So she handed in her resignation first.

---

Back in her hometown, Luelia was living peacefully, running a small business and raising her nephew.

Until the Duke showed up.

“Which bastard got you pregnant and abandoned you?”

“Pardon? It’s nothing like that……”

“Don’t tell me it was the Crown Prince? Haa! Right, so that’s why you left without a word to me!”

Burning with rage, he leaned close and whispered into Luelia’s ear, low and scorching.

“Fine. I’ll raze the imperial family to the ground and avenge every wrong done to you.”

It seemed her superior had gotten things very, very wrong.
