We headed to the impoverished village that night to see Grandpa Will.
Master Duke drained me quite a bit of strength, but I was much better than yesterday.
"Hey, Alicia"
Jill's still slightly younger voice echoes in the quiet dark woods.
"What?"
"Have you ever been to Duke's mother?
"I don't."
I shook my head small to the side.
"Master Duke's mother is already dead."
"It is."
"I've seen it once in a painting. He seemed very strong. Your mother gave you the color of Duke's skin."
"Looking strong?
"Yeah...... Duke's mother is not from this country."
"What?"
"Here we are."
I deliberately blocked Jill's question.
I've only seen a painting once before my memories of my previous life, so you don't know for sure, do you?
That's why I can't put it in my mouth too far.
"Jicha, how are you?"
"Well, how are you?"
That's what I said, I stepped into the fog.
"Huh!?
It was Jill who raised his voice. I didn't hear much of a surprise.
The air is as heavy and dark as before. Besides, few people are down on the ground.
What the hell happened?
As always, the sky is covered in clouds, but the atmosphere in this village is brighter than usual.
"What's going on?
"I don't know."
We stood on the spot in vain.
"Alicia! Jill!
I heard Rebecca's hectic voice from afar.
No way Rebecca rebuilt this village? I can't believe you're playing a proper role as a savior.
But I wonder if Rebecca can make it this far by herself. No matter how much you know, if you don't have the knowledge... there's only one person you can think of.
"Jicha."
That's what Jill said next to me as he looked at the man walking next to Rebecca with his eyes round. I turned my attention to the person, too.
... unbelievable.
"Who"
I was squeaking like that looking at him.
You're just walking, but you're dignified. Pressured by his power. I couldn't move a step from the spot. I developed goosebumps all over my body and trembled. I wonder what a piercing loch it is.
The air is more tense than it is when you look at the king. Something that changed the air the moment he showed up.
Nature and my spine stretch. You mean true nervousness.
"Alicia, Jill"
That's what he said with a smile. Only the voice sounds familiar. A gentle, warm voice.
I wonder if the atmosphere will change even though he is the same person.
The white hair, which was a little blurry, was all-backed and stiffened, with a clear view of the face.
His left eye had familiar golden eyes. And to the right was a black eyelid of the same color as mine.
I wonder why the atmosphere is different even though it's the same as mine... Your clothes are prettier than usual.
He stood before us.
I got on my knees with nature. That's what I did unconsciously.
Probably the least bad girl can do to kneel to someone.
But... my body moved on its own.
I was well educated as a nobleman. Nobles have better forensic eyes than ordinary people.
So I can largely tell by intuition who's above me or who's not hostile.
Sure, Master Duke and Mr. Liz may be unrivaled beings, but they're exceptionally different from that, he is.
He says my whole cell is no match for him.
I wonder how you've ever hidden this majesty...
"Ali?"
I heard Jill's surprised look from above.
"Face up, Alicia"
He crouched to gaze at me and said so in a calm voice.
