I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History

I am more nervous for some reason. [M]

Jicha walks dignified without hesitation through the royal palace in the footsteps she is accustomed to. The expression hardly changes until you leave the impoverished village and come here.

Even when I got out of the village and met Duke, I said, "It's been a long time," and I finished with a short handshake. I hadn't seen the sun in decades, so I thought it would be more moving.

There was hardly any conversation in the carriage until I got here. Jicha was just watching the view outside in silence.

I wonder if you won't be pleased to be out in the outside world.

I saw no joy in his eyes staring at the view.

Perhaps I am much more concerned about meeting the king. But don't make me feel like I can afford your face somewhere...

I don't see any of the castle servants. I guess Duke turned his hand around.

I wonder how Duke feels. I wonder what the hell he's thinking. Duke has never exposed everything in his head. I keep it a secret about what I'm up to.

"I used to get mad at my father for running here at full speed"

Suddenly, Jicha opened her mouth. I listen to the words as I walk down the corridor, not one big dust falling off.

Jicha's father is a former king, isn't he?

"Jicha has been calm for a long time and I thought she was a cool guy"

Looking at him now, I can't imagine him walking all the way.

Jicha laughs small at my words.

"My tutor moaned when he said it was out of hand."

"What did you..."

"Memorize the whole book written by the tutor, teasing him about its contents in front of him, or score poorly on the test when listening to his classes, and score full when he's asleep"

"You're lying."

It was surprising. Jicha has long considered herself a serious honor student.

"I'm not a bad kid, I'm a fucking kid."

He gave a look he'd never seen before. It's an innocent boy's smile.

"I wanted to see Ji-chan in those days."

"I'm old too."

At the same time Jicha said that, he got in front of the usual big, fine door.

A place to see the king. It's the first reunion for Jicha in decades. That's also after the worst way to break up.

... I have never seen the king's mother before. Maybe he's beyond this door today.

Now I'm starting to publish a little. [M] I should have brought you here so easily. Maybe I should have acted more cautiously.

"Jicha, I'm not that strong, but I'll protect you."

"... thanks"

Jicha laughed softly and softly, stroking her head as she looked at me with tender eyes.

I love these big, slightly bumpy hands.

"No one here interrupts my father's conversation with my uncle."

That's what I said as I looked straight at Duke Hajichan.

I feel like this is the first time I've seen him use salutations. It's kind of fresh.

My nephew doesn't have a gap.

"You, too."

"The moment I heard Alicia told me about the impoverished village in front of the five nobles at an early age, I lose to the man who sent me a letter"

...... is!??

"That would be a promise to take to the graveyard."

That's what Duke said, looking uncomfortable somewhere.

I haven't been able to keep up with the conversation yet.

"Hey, wait a minute. Did Duke know Alicia was going to a poor village?

"If she was curious, I would have thought she would have gone if she'd known about the poor village."

That's what he says, as a matter of course.

Was Alicia even doing that to make sure she was free to move and wasn't in danger? Duke, I hope that effort pays off soon.

It's just that they're that Alicia, so I think it's tough.

"How did you send the letter? So, you two have been keeping that quiet until now?

"I didn't think I needed to say anything in particular. And Duke told me to keep it a secret."

"There's only one person I can trust in that village."

"If Duke hadn't sent me a letter, I wouldn't have gone outside the day Alicia arrived."

If you do think about it, Alicia is too lucky. I'm out on purpose at night. Besides, near poor villages and outside walls.

I am now more interested in the strange relationship between Ji-chan and Duke than in the conversation between Ji-chan and the king.

"How did you read the letter?

"It's like a spirit. When I opened the letter, I heard a young man."

Well, Alicia went to Jicha when she was eight. That means Duke is thirteen. The magic begins to work. Besides, Duke's magic isn't crowded.

"You got a letter for me."

"I gave the birds a few drops of my blood and Abel."

... Too many flights and no words.

Maybe I'm the only decent person in this world.
