Somehow, The Villainess Who Regressed in Time Lost Her Magic Power, so She Turned into a Secluded Maiden
2-11 Theodore's Perspective
"Theodore, thank you for saving me today. Thank you so much. I asked Rachel what he knew, but he was right to have you escort him."
"No, thank you. I realized that I wanted to know a lot."
Louis asked me to observe Miss Rachel and His Highness Ricardo today, but it was a good time for me. Because I was able to find out the facts about the Spirit of Darkness, which could not be approached in one more step.
"Finally, I was able to approach the mystery of darkness, but there are many things even I didn't know, and the more I knew, the deeper the mystery..."
"Ah, darkness and light are very different. Both have the power to manipulate time, but the light is" Integrity, Love. "Its power cannot harm others unconsciously. The opposite darkness is" honest, innocent. "It is possible to kill people with the use of force....."
I kept it in the next room, but I don't remember telling you not to listen. Besides, I guess the Second Prince knew what I'd hear and what Louis would know.
"Louis, what do you think?
"To be honest, I'm convinced. That there was no darkness in Dutois. That the Spirit of Darkness, which was depicted as a fictional existence, was considered evil. And in Orta, the existence of darkness was sacred, yet hidden in other countries. The simultaneous existence of light and darkness in a country's divided past - all will be connected 300 years ago."
"I guess. Well, to put it simply, I guess I rubbed it."
"The country will be divided in two."
It is too late to look back on the extraordinarily long years of 300 years ago. Still, there are various causes of people-to-people struggle, such as pride, greed, and resentment. All of them are often intricately intertwined. No matter how many times have changed over time, the seeds of strife remain the same.
Hmm, breathing out, she leaves her body behind the back of the sofa and turns her gaze to the ceiling. I came up with the figure of her trying to use a force that could not be used for unfamiliar magic tools and try to empower her.
--Darkness is "honest and innocent"?
I think I've somehow figured out why the Dark Spirit King chose her.
Honesty is undeniably a beauty. This is especially true for Louis, who is a representative of. Of course, only Miss Rachel has a personality that I don't have - how straight words, thoughts, and eyes helped me.
But if you take the wrong step, you can't lose yourself without realizing the mistake. I wonder if the danger is the nature of darkness. If she doesn't know it well and use her power, she could even be in danger.
"So, what about Miss Rachel?
"I'm resting in my room. You must be tired today because you've used a lot of magic."
I see. I'll be busier tomorrow. "
Yes. Tomorrow will finally be a three-day banquet. In the meantime, His Highness Ricardo will be busy, and it will be difficult to beg for lessons like today.
"Lady Rachel certainly has qualities and high magic. But if they ask me if I can master it in a few days, it will be difficult."
"Isn't that why you're here?
"Louis, what do you think I am?
"Superman, genius, out-of-standard - man who makes impossible."
Louis grabbed the wine glass in front of him and put his mouth on it, whilst the corner of his mouth fluttered.
Absolutely... It was a sin in my heart that you always pushed me into enough trouble, thinking that you were the one who always brought me into trouble.
"Yes, yes. Instead, I will try to pass the festival as much as possible."
"I know."
Louis nodded bitterly at my words. "I've taken the liberty of retooling my knees and taking a normal attitude," I said. Looking at it, Louis burst out crazy.
That alone made me feel that the air in the field was lightly relieved.
Well, if it's any trouble, you'd better be interested. I'm going to be busier from tomorrow, but it's still dozens of times easier to be involved in magic than socializing.
"So you met the King and the First Prince, right? Did you find anything good?
"No, I can't say anything. But the successor problem doesn't seem to be happening right now. I don't think the king he's nominating is willing to do it himself."
It appears that Louis was present with His Highness Faust, the First Prince of Alta, when he met with the King today. Originally, Miss Rachel and I were together, but Louis must have managed to do something about it.
Louis put his hand on his chin with a difficult face, and after some thought, he opened his mouth heavily.
"But if the First Prince is named Crown Prince, the country will certainly rot. The King is only interested in his fine chair. A queen who blindly drowns the First Prince in order to distract herself from criticism. And the First Prince, accustomed to being in charge, gave up thinking for himself. The nobles who try to puppet it and swarm with sweet honey."
"It's over."
The future of a country where the people above think only of themselves is certain.
I despised the existence of spirits that enrich us by prioritizing convenience. As a result, the spirits abandoned you, too.
In a country that lives with spirits, it is only after you have gone to an irrevocable place that you will realize the future in which the spirits are gone. Or...
"The only hope is the Second Prince, who has been cold by birth, even though he is capable. I'm sure we can all make sacrifices trying to change the status quo in this situation."
"Everything is a people. We are alive by our country, and we have a duty to protect it. The first to suffer is before the nobles and royalties, each and every one of the people who is the land of the country."
What we see in Alta is the Second Prince, who has ironically never been asked for anything from anyone since he was a child.
His Highness Ricardo is full of talent enough to blow away all the environmental ills that have been placed in him. I even think it would have been a bad idea to twist it a lot or to destroy the country on the contrary.
Yeah, but you have only one ally. I suppose it was thanks to His Highness Prince Isaac, the Third Prince. One understands oneself and can respond to it if there are people who are close by.
"I think you and His Highness Ricardo are alike. How can I help you?"
"Come on, I am only the prince of the kingdom of Dutois. Sometimes I make tough decisions to protect my country."
- In other words, Dutois and Miss Rachel... will spare no effort to cooperate if necessary to protect what is important to Louis. Is that so?
"I see. Looks like Louis.... well, who's going to move next?"
I wish Miss Rachel hadn't been swallowed up in this royal palace where dark thoughts are intricately intertwined....
When I close my eyes, I see her in the dark. Unexpectedly exhaling a deep sigh, I meditated on my thoughts for a while.
