The Villain Daughter Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride (Hostage) in a Former Enemy Country

For the fourth time in her life, it was about a year and a half before Riesch began to serve Duchess Miriam Clarissa Journal.

Richie, who worked in the Marquises of the Kingdom of Domana and became acquainted with his young, naughty sons, was asked to do the same for the Duke of Jonal.And I met 11-year-old Miriam at the Jonal house on my way.

Miriam was so embarrassed that she was surrounded by other maids.

Her father, the Duke, was paralyzed by the illness he had suffered in the past, and he was also a sick man.

She cared about her daughter, who could not be with her very much, but the way she did it was not very good, and she was unable to deal with Miriam's self as much as possible.

The maid-in-law said, "Be careful of Miss Miriam, too.It's very difficult to handle, I'm in trouble, "she said.

(But....)

Having met Miriam for the seventh time in her life for the second time, Riesch looks down at her thumb as she hugs her waist.

Then a troubled man came down from Miriam's carriage.

"Miriam, you must be embarrassed!

(My Lord Jonal.....)

A man in his forties walks here in a hurry.

The man who caressed his blonde hair back and cleaned his beard was Leicher's former master.But unlike Richie's memory, he doesn't have a cane now.

(I heard Lord Jonal was sick a long time ago.)

In fact, it seems that the paralysis appeared within a year and a half from now.

He bowed his head politely when he came to Leescher and the others.

"I'm sorry, miss.My daughter is bothering you... go away!!

"No, no!!

When Miriam screams with strength, she strengthens her arms.And he buried his face in Riesch, who was supposed to be a stranger.

"Miriam!

"Because I don't like Daddy!!You won't listen to my request, and yet you scold me!!It's all because Daddy's mean to bother these people!!

As Miriam shouted, Arnold raised his eyebrows.

Leesher talks to Miriam's little pigeon after she has her gaze at him trying to move.

"... young lady"

"Don't talk to me, you'll be on my side too!?I've never seen you before, and you don't know anything, and you haven't even heard me!

"Lady. Please see here."

"Nh, what the hell...!!

Miriam looked up angrily and took a breath at the next moment.

……

The handkerchief that Leescher spread over her was the handkerchief she had prepared.

When she showed it in the white race, Miriam looked 'I don't know why'.

Aiming at that instant of confusion, Riesch rounded the handkerchief into her right hand.

I lay my left hand on the gripped hand and gently put my mouth on the back of the hand. Then I laid down a beat and opened both hands.

"... eh...!?

The handkerchief in my hand disappeared without a trace.

Instead, a small bear stuffed toy appeared.

The servants and knights were shocked.But Miriam seemed more surprised than anyone to see it in front of her.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa...!?

Miriam's cheeks became red and her big eyes sparkled.Richie smiled and told her.

"No, miss.This is called "magic."A sign of approaching. "

"Are you sure?!

"Of course."

When I gave her the stuffed toy, Miriam's stubborn hands fell apart.

Liesche crouched on the spot and greeted Miriam from below.

"My name is Richie Ilmgard Vertzner.What's your lady's name?

"... my name is Miriam Clarissa Journal.Daddy's daughter, she's almost ten years old. "

Well, Miriam.

In this life, I can't keep calling her "young lady."

Richie smiles a little lonely and gives her the stuffed toy she was preparing for this.

I'm glad you like it.

Ah, yeah.

Miriam, who lowered her eyebrows shyly, still wrapped the stuffed animal in her hands and said, distracted.

"Yes, it is....."

"Surprised. I didn't expect Miriam to grow up that much."

Jonal, his father, looks at something incredible.

But this is what Rieschett thought.

(Miss Miriam is really an honest and good girl.)

Richie, who met 11-year-old Miriam and was appointed to take care of her, has seen her much worse than her age.

We grow flowers together on a flower bed, walk through the woods, and sleep on the same bed on Thunder Night.

Because of her reluctance to study, Riesch also spent a lot of time with her on her way to the book.

And when Miriam turned fifteen, the same as Leicher today.

Miriam formed a marriage ceremony in the church and became a happy bride.

(But that day)

Riesch stood up quietly and quietly meditated.

(― ― At the end of Miriam's marriage ceremony, the armies of the Garchain kingdom invaded)

And Riesch was killed.

While a maid, Riesch, who was allowed to attend as Miriam's sister, was in a church where the Garchain army collapsed into an avalanche.

And Miriam escaped from the church that set fire, and lost her life.

(Speaking of which, did His Highness Arnold go to the church where I died?)

She looked up at Arnold next to her.

Arnold seemed to be looking lightly at Richie's interaction with Miriam, but as Richie looked back, he overlapped.

(... I'm sure you wanted it)

And Arnold ordered it.

I set fire to that beautiful temple and told it to kill the people inside.

……

Lie down gently and take a deep breath to avoid being noticed.

Then he raised his face and called out his fiancée's name.

"Lord Arnold."

"... what is it?"

So he walked by him and protested with a small voice.

"--Earlier, when I used magic, I would have been staring around the trick!

……

Arnold then turned his head and replied:

"I don't know what to do.I was directing my right hand to gather my surroundings, but my left hand was clearly moving unnaturally. "

"Normal people are supposed to focus on their right hand.Even if you notice it, you have to parry it. "

"... more than that, it would have been necessary to prepare the sleeve of the dress in advance.It's very well prepared. "

……

Now Richie wants to look at you, but she looks up grandly so that she doesn't get suspicious.

"I was actually about to show it to His Highness Arnold.On the way to the carriage, even during work breaks. "

"Huh? Are you telling me you were going to put a bear stuffed toy in front of me?"

"... I thought it would be fluffy and soothing."

"Ha, ha."

Arnold smiled funny there.

That was an amazingly calm laugh, so Riesch rounded her eyes.

Well, that's fine. That's what I'm gonna do. "

"... the truth is, if I had a little child in the temple, I would have practiced to show them!

I see. That's a shame. "

I don't know what's too bad, but that's what I'm going to do.Otherwise, Arnold's right, it's too suspicious.

(Miriam, it was a math that you could meet at the Grand Temple or on the way.I don't suppose His Highness Arnold would have thought I was going to serve Miss Miriam from the beginning... but the problem is with Miss Miriam.)

Rieschett looks back and looks forward to a more calm interaction with her father and daughter.

"Miriam, listen carefully.It's not too far from here to the Grand Shrine, even a white carriage would be fine. "

"Because if you look closely, white is like a child!I was chosen to represent the Witch Princess at the festival!?Then it would be embarrassing if it weren't a carriage that fits!

Around them, Jonal's servants and maids were watching with their glaring faces.

It seems that none of Rieschett's facial expressions are inside.

(... it's weird after all.)

Riesch somehow felt uncomfortable.

(Miss Miriam shouldn't have been so selfish about everything.Even if you don't like studying, or if you squeeze something sweet into a snack, you don't say 'I don't like the color of the carriage'.... I may have been this old before I turned eleven.)

Look at the Duke of Jonal.

My husband once heard that he had been ill for a long time, but as far as Leicher can see, he is still in good health.Though you look a little tired, it's probably the end of the journey by the carriage and the eclampsia of your daughter.

After a deep sigh, the Duke lowered his head again to Riesch and Arnold.

"Greetings are late.My name is Joseph Alemfleet Journal and I take the throne of the Holy Kingdom of Domana.My daughter is in trouble. "

Next, he looks at the emblem of the Garchain kingdom depicted on Arnold's carriage.

"Hello, are you members of the Garchain family?"

Arnold exhaled briefly and greeted him as crown prince.

"It's Arnold Hein. You must have been taken care of by your father Emperor."

――……

I felt the Duke breathed a little.

It seems to have been subtly concealed, but Riesch can clearly see the upset.Perhaps Arnold knew that too.

"I didn't know it was the Crown Prince.If so, was this young lady the one who got engaged this time?Again, forgive my daughter for her rudeness. "

"... if my wife will forgive me."

"Of course there's no problem.I was able to meet such a lovely young lady. "

After a smile, Riesch walked towards Miriam.

The Duke of Arnold and Jonal continue their courtesy greetings.In that gap, Riesch crouched down and smiled gently at Miriam.

Miriam-sama Why are you fighting with your father like that?

"I represent the Witch Princess, but Dad doesn't understand.It's almost time for the festival, and if I don't do it right, I'll be ashamed of the real witch princesses and goddesses who died!

Well then, the next festival will see Miriam playing the role of witch princess.

The truth is, I know everything, but Riesch nods pretending to have heard it for the first time.

In Kursheed, festivals are held for the faithful goddess.

Normally, the festival is attended by a "witch" woman, who is said to draw the blood of the goddess, who prays to the goddess.

The church has cherished the witch for generations.

Twenty-two years ago, however, the ancient witch princess lost her life in an accident and the goddess's bloodline woman disappeared.

Blood will not stop because the blood clan has a boy, but the witch princess, who is the proxy of the goddess, can only serve as a woman.

(So the Order has been suspending the festival for about twenty years.However, as protests began to rise from the faithful, the festival on behalf of the witch princess will resume this year.....)

Riesch recalls the explanation she received in her maid's life.

"I heard that only women born in the aristocracy of the Holy Kingdom of Domana can represent the witch princess.Miriam was chosen for that seat. "

I see. Isn't that a great honor?And yet, my dad.... "

Miriam tied her lips tightly and murmured with a small voice.

"- Daddy's an idiot.You can't make me angry. "

Miriam's voice, which had never been heard before, blinked unexpectedly.

Earlier, Miriam would have repeated herself before her age.

Yet now he looks at his father quietly, with his grown-up expression all the time.

"I can curse my dad.... Daddy still doesn't believe that all the people I've cursed are dead. "

"... Miria-sama...?

I thought you were coming.

The unpleasant cold crawled up Riesch's back.

Miriam giggles and starts laughing.Reese accidentally lost her words to the expression of a girl she had never seen before.
