The Greatest Genius Alchemist of All Time Want to Retire

"Uhhh..."

The morning sun comes into the room and wakes up.

That's how I try to wake up and get up, but my left hand had Fee's right hand gripped.

We went straight to sleep since then. We spent the night on the couch holding hands together. Fee was asleep calmly resting, having been confirmed that her parents were not dead yet.

But now my mouth is slowly opening, and even one of my saliva is going to drool if I stay like this. Exactly, if that happens, Fee won't be very good either.

"Phee. Hey, Phee"

"Uhh... yeah... oh, just 5 more minutes... oh... uhh..."

"Yodale's gonna drool."

"Huh!? And... ha!? Huh!? Why is El next door?!? Oh, why are you holding hands too!?

"No... you forgot about yesterday?

"Ah..."

Sir, my face is blue. Fee. Blah, blah, blah. I'm used to this exchange, so I don't even think about it now... Fee's one looked strangely hasty.

"What, I'm not sober!!?

"No, I'm used to seeing it. Plus, Fee wouldn't have to wear makeup."

"... what!? What's the purpose!? It's no use pretending now!?

"Nothing, it's a fact? I don't lie. You know that.

"Yes, but... wait a minute! Because I just want to wash my face!

"Yes, sir. Torah."

The Phee one jumped straight up and disappeared somewhere. Infrastructure is not otherwise functional in the current situation. The electricity's on, and the water's safe. Exactly a lot of problems when they were doing these, but the least seemed solid.

That's how I try to follow Fee again and leave the room.

There are a lot of Knights people in this building, but no, there's probably only Knights people, but I felt like there were enough of them nonetheless.

"El. Are you awake?

"Serena? Whoa, whoa... Good morning."

"Not at all. That's sloppy."

"I'm sorry. There's a lot going on here. It's just that I'm a legitimate family of farmers, too. I'm not that bad in the morning."

"Hehe... if that's all you can say lightly, fine."

"Speaking of which, did you hear that story?

"Is this about the camouflage of the body?

"Oh. From what I've seen, those weren't the bodies of the three nobles' masters. It was cleverly disguised."

"I'm glad to hear that, but then you'll have your doubts again."

"Right. I don't know what you did it for..."

"Yep..."

There's nothing you can do about it, me and Serena, thinking about it.

That's how the morning meeting by the Knights is held, and that's where we're headed.

"Ugh... yeah..."

Wake up.

At the same time I thought it was cold......

Yes. Now my place is in the dungeon. I have been admitted to a hut in the basement of the Imperial Castle.

"Alice, are you awake?

"Brother Oscar... how could you do this..."

"Why not? Of course it's a mystical idea."

"It's a lie...... you know about the mystics, but I don't think you'd do this far to the boulders"

"... the boulder is a brilliant Alice. I suppose so. This is my discretion."

"So do you shed the blood of many king citizens?

"I didn't kill the King's people indiscriminately. Rather than this time, it will be difficult if there are many dead. And the soldiers who use it... whoa, it's no more secrets"

"... do you kill all the other royalty?

"I don't like hearing people. Nothing. I don't want to destroy the kingdom, and besides, I don't want to be a new king. I told you earlier. That my purpose is not murder, nor human blood. This is a pleasure, so to speak. Aftermath. Some people will be dead, but that will be minimal, too. What's really dead in the first place... well, it's a secret from now on. Someday, you'll see."

"Are you having fun..."

"I suppose so. Well, I'll use Alice's name for that, but you don't mind, do you? Because you're not really royal."

……

That's what they whisper from across the iron lattice, and I can't say anything.

I know where I came from. This is a famous story among royalty. I know those who know among the nobles. Fortunately, I don't seem to know anyone close to me yet, but I'm sure the teacher will eventually... know.

I, Alice Canovaria, am royal... but that is not right.

The pureblooded royals are all bleeding with nobility and royalty. Royal marriages are limited to aristocrats, or those with high alchemy aptitudes. But my mother... was a maid. A maid working in this royal castle. That's where I come from.

My father, the king, put his hand at random, and it was I who was born.

Not a pureblooded royal, I was the best at living in this royal castle. That's why there wasn't enough temper left to rebel directly from the front on Brother Oscar's words.

A slight moonlight to give from the outside.

It illuminates my body.

That's how I get my hands on the meal my brother left behind, which is no longer there. I don't want to starve to death on a boulder. Eat randomly thrown away bread and be delayed in your thoughts.

How I became, what I am now...... Alice Canovaria.
