Somehow, The Villainess Who Regressed in Time Lost Her Magic Power, so She Turned into a Secluded Maiden

“Yeah. Or maybe I'll tell you what Alberik looked into about the medicine Rachel got.”

In the tense air, Theodore placed the paper in the center of the table, holding it in his hand.

"The 'Curse Potion' Rachel got was unlikely to have been poisoned by Lady Carol." The country of origin is still from Horta. "

"It's Horta. It's Horta that inspired you to come to this world, isn't it?" Even in this world, the issue of Horta's successor has attracted interest, and it's getting caught up in something. "

My visit to this world was inspired by the kingdom of Horta, and I felt the shadow of the kingdom of Horta once again when I came here, and I felt strange, but apparently Theodor was the same.

"No, you draw the blood of the Horta kingdom, too." Those princes will be my cousins. "

"Speaking of which... that's right." Mother is a former princess of Horta, so don't be like that. "

"Come on, it's like other personnel."

I forgot until Theodore told me, but it seems that the kingdom of Horta is unexpectedly not far away by its own bloodline. However, my mother herself hadn't heard the story of the Horta kingdom directly before she married, and she didn't even know that dark magic existed.

I personally can't use any dark magic, even if the light magic is appropriate.

"It's my bloodline... although my mother is a royal family, she originally had weak magic power and could only use fire magic to light candles." There was no doubt that the dark magic could not be used at all. Well, that's why I married here as a royalty who would be fine to send her from Horta to another country, where there are many secrets. "

While hitting a hammer with "hehe" in my words, Theodor thinks with a serious face while putting his hand on his chin.

Cyril took a piece of paper out of the file and offered it to me, worrying about Theodore.

"Um, this is what I was asked by the Highness of this world to investigate." I don't think that's enough information to be able to use it. ”

"Hmm? Ah, that's the way to get the Curse Potion." That pharmacy's master's background...... but it's almost finished, so why did you stop looking into it halfway? "

I look at the paper Cyril gave me, but it doesn't say anything important. The pharmacy opened a year ago, and I can't find any new information such as the appearance of my husband or the Eastern accent.

"Chancellor, right? This is too close for Louis to handle and too big for the country. After all, it involves the Holy Maiden. That is why the Prime Minister took the investigation forward. That's why it was so difficult for me to get information."

With a steep expression, Theodor distorted his face regretfully.

“Even so, it's true that I stopped looking into it on the way.”

Once again, I turned to the paper in front of me and crawled my hand over the last letter I had halfway finished.

― ― It's a fact that just because the Prime Minister stopped me in this state, I didn't take any action.

The regret and frustration of the other self, which I have felt many times in this world, will not go away. On the contrary, every time I see these signs, it only increases.

“What do you think of Cyril? You were the one on Louis' side. I'm sure you're looking at Louis closer than anyone. Why do you think Louis stopped looking into it?"

"That's right... I knew your Highness wasn't very kind to Lady Rachel, and I was quite confident that you'd have caused me some trouble with this." However, after the Prime Minister told him to pull out of the investigation, he did his own research. ”

- Did you do your own research? It seemed like a lot to me.

Or are there traces of Cyril investigating somewhere he doesn't know about? After a moment's thought, I can immediately understand that I am the most different person.

Because I checked all the hidden shelves that Cyril couldn't even see, but I couldn't find them.

“Is that true? I didn't find any sign of it."

"Yes, I was certainly looking into it." His Highness said, "There is so much evidence that we can't even shelter him. There is also a confession from the person himself. But... he also said that he couldn't wipe away the discomfort of having too much evidence."

But Cyril's gaze dropped awkwardly, “But.”

"When Lady Rachel died, she was either disposed of or entrusted to the Chancellor to minimize the chaos in the country..."

"Oh, there it is. I was told by Louis that the priorities were wrong."

What did I tell you before?

"This is how you insulate yourself from Louis." The mastermind is going to capture me for years if I want to chase down Lady Rachel's case, but it's not the time. I don't understand Louis' saying that it's the first thing to keep the chaos out of the country, but I had blood on my head, too. "

Cyril looked awkwardly down at Theodore, who was smiling bitterly.

"I don't want you to misunderstand, but your Highness didn't ruthlessly cut off Lady Rachel." I wanted her to change for the better in her days at the monastery, and I was ready to follow her. ”

"Still, I think it's true that Louis himself created this situation. Of course, the guilty Lady Rachel did something she shouldn't have done. But it's not just Lady Rachel that got us into this situation. I didn't even try to understand what made Miss Rachel do that, and Louis had a problem."

Yes, Theodore is right. When I noticed that the gear shifted slightly, it shifted so far that it could not be repaired. That said, it wasn't just Rachel who tried to fix it, it was me in this world who made it worse.

In the sinking air, Theodor moves to the window with a smile of mockery. And I put my head in the window, looking out into the distance.

”Besides... it's also my fault that Louis and Lady Rachel turned their backs on me”

"Me too... me too." I knew better than anyone that the relationship between Her Highness and Lady Rachel was deteriorating, but I didn't do anything. ”

"I wonder what's left of me when this is over." Do you want to turn a little forward? Or is it just more regret? "

In a quiet and calm tone, but with the colors of sadness and despair still uncovered, Theodore asked me what to say.

But I guess Theodore knew that too. I turned my gaze toward him and smiled softly.

"Still, this is our world."

--Our world... it was a word that drew a clear line between Theodore and Cyril, and me.

But, contrary to that, Theodore and Cyril's expression was too familiar to them. No matter the time, you look like a trustworthy companion.

"We will find the end of Lady Rachel in this world properly." I'll be sure to uncover the truth and report it to your parents. ”

Theodor walked up to me from the window and placed his hand on my dumb shoulder. Cyril nodded vigorously in agreement with Theodor.

"Theodore, Cyril."

Look back at the two faces in sequence. Then Theodore told me to be careful, saying, "I'm fine."

“So, Louie, you can go back to your world with peace of mind.”

"To the original world..."

"Oh, there's someone waiting for you." No matter how much I want to see you, I'll never see you again. "

Theodor lowered his eyebrows and laughed lonely at the opposite of the powerful words.

However, I finally felt my stomach enveloped by the words of Theodore and Cyril.

Of course, Rachel of this world - that is, I want to find out about Rachel's past, which I know well. It is still the same now.

However, even if I leave here, I have a friend who will surely carry out my will. Because I knew that, I felt like I could concentrate on what I had to do right now.

Looking at Theodore and Cyril's face, I relaxed my shoulders a little and smiled.

"Theodore, Cyril, thank you. I'll leave it to you."

Cyril narrowed her eyes slightly to my words.

"Yes. Please return to the original world and do not let go of your loved ones."

When he offered Cyril his hand, Cyril clenched my hand without hesitation.

"I'm glad you're in this world." I couldn't do anything by myself. "

"Your Highness is carrying too much weight." Yeah, but don't bother me too much in the other world. Make sure you get a good vacation. Don't push it. "

"Haha. Okay, okay. I'll remember that."

I took the pledge.

Theodor gushed at Cyril's interaction with me in a funny way. The filled air turned into something bright and soothing in an instant.

With that, Theodore snaps his fingers and calls out to Van, who was bored sitting on the elbow of the sofa.

Van moved his head to react to the voice, spreading his big wings. After moving his wings several times in the spot, Van flies away from the spot and jumps to my shoulder.

Confirming that he was ready, Theodor raised his mouth to open it.

"Well then, let's go." "To the land of the Spirit of Light."
