What do you mean, exchange?
Kushana is not in an overwhelmingly advantageous position to say that our hopes have passed.
"What if I tell you that I want your heart..." No, but I'm a bad girl. I won't give you a heart easily.
I waited for Kushana's words in anticipation of such a thing.
"Alicia, I want to borrow your magic."
...... that's all?
Kushana, who spoke to me with a serious face, opened her mouth unexpectedly.
Is that Maddie's price for our magic?
Certainly magic is precious in this country, but it's only natural for me to have magic power. Of course Kushana knew about it.
I utter my words without concealing my surprise.
Wasn't Shati more valuable than me and Duke's magic?
"It's just a flower." It just has more nutrients than any other plant. "
No, it certainly is!
That's how you say the god flower you were so desperate to protect!?
I think I'm more confused than the people in this village. The person who took Maddy said, "Are you sure that's all right? I almost said it."
I knew that Kushana was a person who thought things logically without being driven by emotions, but she was so light...
"All I need now is your magic."
Kushana's serious red eyes captured me. I turn to Sheena. I wonder how Sheena feels about Kushana letting Maddy go.
After this, it's not nice to have the aftertaste of blame on me or Kushana. I would like to obtain some consent.
"It's the Queen's decision, so it's okay."
Sheena said so in a calm tone without breaking any of her expressions.
I realized that Kushana was a really crowded and brilliant queen. This is what I envy her for gaining the trust of her people.
Kushana doesn't have any elements of a bad girl, but she doesn't have any elements of a saint. The queen reigns in a small country in the woods.
I think I can see why everyone is fascinated by her. I would like to follow someone like this if they were close to me.
"If I'm good, I'll be happy to help."
I bow slowly to Kushana with a gift.
My value here is that I can use magic. I don't hate it when people take advantage of it. But being just used as a bad girl doesn't suit my sex.
I add my words with my head down.
“But I have a condition.”
"I think you've made your wish come true."
Kushana looked up at me with a strange expression on her face.
"No, not yet. Bad girls are greedy."
Without paying any attention to Kushana's pressure, I raised the corner of my mouth lightly and smiled.
