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

"Thank you for making time"

"Oh, I was hoping it would be time for me to move on with you, too."

In the evening, because of the time promised, I came with Cyril to His Majesty's office.

As always, not a single loving laugh floats, and His Majesty in front of him turns his cold gaze this way.

"I know what you think and take Marcel Marquis as your fiancée."

"... Really?"

The mouth barely lifts the corner of his mouth and smiles, but the back of his eyes feels gradually colder on his own.

I'm sure the temperature in this room is decreasing gradually. The air that surrounds me and His Majesty is so cold that it seems so.

"I agreed that you wanted to be engaged to Miss Marcel because she was a Marquis and highly magical.... but things are different now. She lost her magic."

"But Your Majesty didn't tell you whether or not to stay with your fiancée after Rachel lost her magic."

"You seemed to be looking into something. Besides, isn't it interesting that a young lady who made a covenant with the Spirit of Darkness"

"Well, it's no problem that your fiancée is still here."

To my words His Majesty only took a glance at this one, as if to see the unspeakable. But I still looked straight at His Majesty.

After a temporary heavy silence, it was His Majesty who opened his mouth.

"If the Virgin was born, the story is different. Even though there is a Virgin, no magic is the Queen. You don't deserve the royal family."

It's not appropriate.

Certainly I would not be fit to be queen before, either, when Rachel became sick and weak from the depletion of magic. It is true that I felt that way.

But in fact, Rachel just kept moving forward and had a strong heart in any situation.

without pessimism about your situation.

Without resenting anyone.

And still, at this moment, she only looks forward.

Your Majesty will never know it or understand it.

Still, looking beyond the point of magic, she tries to have the qualities to be the next queen.

Above all, it is comforting to me that she will stand next to me when I am king of this country, and it is my desire above all else.

That is why frustration springs from within me boiling unknowingly in His Majesty's words.

I'm forcibly flushing that in the form of a smile, but I'm not sure it's working.

Knowing or not my heart like that, His Majesty turns his sharp gaze this way as he sits back deep on the couch he is sitting on.

"You are really overwhelming these days. I don't understand why you're holding that young lady."

"Well, because I and His Majesty are different people. I don't know what else to do."

If he is the other, he will be stiff and pale only with this gaze and sigh of His Majesty.

But I can't turn my back on His Majesty right now.

That is why I dare to deepen my grin and express my disagreement with what His Majesty is trying to say.

"You think you deserve the king the most of my sons. A king is a lonely being.

Compared to your younger brothers, you are good at it, and most importantly, you will be merciless.

That's why I made you the king prince. "

I understand that I have been blindfolded by His Majesty compared to other brothers and sisters.

I guess that's why I grew up surrounded by all the adults from childhood without much contact with my other siblings and queens alone.

It is true that imperialism, applied from an early age, would have been useful to me in the future, as well as in laying my foundations.

But if you're lonely, if you're good, I think it's a somewhat skewed idea to be a good king.

Your Majesty would have liked a succession to inherit His Majesty's own will.

To raise children in the way that they were made, to be kings like themselves.

That is the best way for this country. That's what you're really thinking.

"You won't like to leave the throne named Prince Wang. If so, it is the Virgin you marry. Not that lady."

"Why are you so confined to the Virgin? I don't see why His Majesty would want to take the Virgin so far into the royal family."

His Majesty looks straight at this one with his arms together and a faceless expression, with the eyes of the slit length wide open.

It's all for the good of the country.

"For the country?

"The beginning of this country is the Virgin. In other words, the beginning of the royal family is the first Virgin.

Therefore, even then, when the royal family and the Virgin are united, it is always said that the Spirit King has blessed the country. That is the stability of this country and the will of the people "

"Ha, His Majesty believes in such superstition," he said.

In fact, what you're afraid of is taking the power of the Virgin to your neighbors, right?

"It is certainly unclear whether that is superstition. But what matters is the fact that the Virgin was born in this country. And ensuring that the Virgin is taken into our country. That is necessary.... including, of course, the power of the Virgin."

After all, as I had thought, His Majesty gave the Virgin above all. No, you're endangering the power of the Virgin to be taken by another country.

And by using the Virgin Faith to gain trust from the people, we seek stability in the country.

Also, I suppose that the Virgin's presence on the stage can be a disincentive to neighboring countries.

But Anna Carroll hasn't been able to use the power of the Virgin.

"If you can't use it, you can't. I do want that power, but only we and our neighbor's royal family will know that it exists."

"If so, Miss Carroll seems to owe Miss Marcel something. I would never betray her. Yes, he told me."

"You want me to believe that girl's words? That's a funny story."

His Majesty leaks his voice as if to laugh with his nose. But I suppose you think that's more ridiculous than funny.

"Louis, what the hell is wrong with you? Believe it or not, the king doesn't need anything uncertain. Yes, I've taught you."

"Yep. I was taught, and I thought so, too. Until now."

Only you should believe it.

Yes, I've been taught from an early age, and as a human being, I didn't think I was wrong about that idea.

Your Majesty must have caught on to the phrase, "Until before," which I said.

When I frowned slightly, my eyes narrowed, as if to measure my sincerity.

"I thought you looked like me."

"I guess they do resemble each other"

His Majesty looks at my remarks jizzily here with glassball-like eyes who don't know what they're thinking. I don't know what your majesty thinks, but I'm sure you're trying to say that you missed expectations.

But still, it never disappeared from childhood, a shard of fear that I felt faint to His Majesty.

I've never felt that before today.

I'm sure the perception of the absolute existence that I had unconsciously felt toward His Majesty since I thought of it as a wall to cross was shaky.

And that's all the emotion Rachel brought to me.

My thoughts on her make me seep slightly sharp into my gaze toward Her Majesty.

Did His Majesty also feel that, and the frown wrinkles that had stopped earlier became stronger?

Words I told His Majesty earlier.

Words I said were similar to His Majesty's. That's from my past.

Not now.

"But there's one big difference. Because I have what His Majesty does not have."

In my words, "What?," he murmurs. In an instant His Majesty seemed to intimidate me by releasing an overwhelming aura of dominance over this whole room. That's why I don't imitate that gaze off either.

To my appearance, His Majesty lifts the edge of his mouth slightly as he loosens his intimidation for a moment.

"Well, good now. I don't care how you scratch my feet. Unless you dissolve your engagement with Miss Marcel, I don't think the king's seat will be available.

You either marry the Virgin or you quit the King's Prince. "

So far, did you think I was in a hurry?

You really don't seem to understand your son.

I have no choice. Do you decide to ride that provocation?

"So shall we bet that chair?

I think I got a cold voice myself.

His Majesty also leaks his voice "ho" and slightly opens his cleavage eyes.

"If Rachel regains her former magic and the Virgin is guaranteed not to leave this country,

How about when His Majesty leaves the throne?

To that statement, His Majesty shows that of the arms he had put together without moving, temporarily conceived with one hand mopping his jaw.

Well, how do you do it?

When I explored the trends of Ji and His Majesty, His Majesty muttered "it would be good" in a voice somewhat lower than mine.

"The deadline is one year. I can't wait any longer."

"Then, because in the meantime, the engagement will continue intact. Do you mind?

"... oh, that would be good. But let me tell you one thing. I've never lost a victory before."

"Really? But I'm not willing to lose either."

A year.

To a sweeter response than I imagined, I feel like I'm going to loosen my nerves for a moment. But I'll straighten my face right back.

It is unlikely that Rachel's magic will return in a year, so far.

But I didn't come up with this proposal without a chance.

Of course, she has some clue, she's on a journey now, and that could lead her to find an incentive for magic to go back to normal.

But I need to think about all the possibilities and protect her.

I took the necessary words for that.

All you have to do is move on to action.

"What a fool to drown in love. Maybe I was just expecting too much from you."

"Judge it in a year"

I don't give up everything.

That's what I swore to her, to Rachel.

Why don't we give His Majesty his first defeat?
