"Dead?
That's what Jill asked Master Duke without any hesitation.
Thank you, Jill. That's what I wanted to hear too.
"Saana."
Master Duke laughed deceptively.
... you must know something about this.
But you're not going to tell me from what I've heard.
I wonder what you're hiding.
"I want to ask you one more thing..."
Jill looks at Master Duke with a twinkle of an eyebrow.
"What?"
"How many years has it been since the Virgin appeared? From what I've read in the book, the Virgin is supposed to be a legend."
"Oh, you're a legend"
Master Duke said that without getting lost.
Oh, shit, was the Virgin a legend?
I've probably never read that book. But Jill says you've read it, so I thought you read it, too. I can't remember.
That means heroin will never be in history!
How could I have been born in the same age as the Virgin?
No matter how awesome I become a bad girl, I will hide behind the Virgin.
As a bad girl, I will never get my feet lit...
"Alicia? What's wrong with such a difficult face?
Jill peered into my face.
I'd like to say what I think right now on this occasion, but Master Duke doesn't know I want to be a bad girl.
"Nothing."
That's what I said and smiled.
Maybe because it's about Jill, you realize I'm nothing.
And I know how hard it is.
You thought the Virgin was something that one person shows up to every year.
But I'm sure there's never been anyone like Mr. Liz before.
Oh! That sucks. I can't believe I realized that by now...
"The legendary Cather Liz is a flower garden with a head and the current king is incompetent..."
That's what Jill said and mocked.
A cold thing ran on my spine at Jill's words.
I didn't mean to incapacitate the king in front of Master Duke......
I slowly turned my attention to Master Duke.
Master Duke is solidified with his eyes open.
... shouldn't this run away?
Brother Henri is also standing blindfolded.
After a brief silence, Master Duke raised his voice and laughed.
I've never seen Master Duke laugh so much.
You're laughing out loud, but you don't look nasty at all. I knew the prince was amazing.
"Well, maybe he's incompetent."
Master Duke said that with a laugh.
... The King is Duke's father, isn't he?
Is it okay to say that?
Now Jill is surprised at how Dear Duke is doing.
"I have no idea what Duke's thinking."
"Me, too."
"Me too."
Henri, Jill and I both hitched a ride to your brother's words.
For a while we watched Master Duke standing blindly.
That's when Jill whimpered a small voice echoed in my ear.
"If the Virgin appears, His Majesty's next marriage will be to the Virgin..."
