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

Riesch remembered unexpectedly.

In the maid's life, she had only once spoken to Riesch, who slept on the bed with her.

"You know, Richie, I had an unspeakable power."

"... I can't use it anymore, and I can't tell you what kind of power I promised my dad... but it's true."

Miriam, who was usually naive and had a lot of winning expressions, clouded her expression when she spoke.

Does that worrisome confession have anything to do with the "curse" Miriam said earlier?

(There is no magic and there is no curse.... Normally, such opinions would also come out...)

Riesch can't be sure of that.It is Leescher, who is unique in the first place, who is repeating his life with wonderful force.

It was then that I thought about what to say to Miriam.

――

I felt the air tightening.

It was just for a moment, and nobody else would have noticed.However, Riesch looked back at the signs she did feel.

(His Highness Arnold?)

Arnold, who seems to have finished interacting with the Duke, looked at us a little further away.

Somehow, you have very cold eyes.However, his gaze is not directed at Riesch.

The ruthless makeup was poured straight into Miriam.

(--Why)

It's not very nice, but it's not like it's aimed at the girl you meet for the first time.The cold eyes reminded me of someone.

(Five years later, the same expression as the Emperor Arnold Hein....)

Arnold, who burned down the church in the future, slowly started walking here.

Reflectively, look back at Miriam.Miriam herself doesn't seem to realize that Arnold is looking at herself.

"I'm going back to the carriage.... thanks for the stuffed toy...! "

Ah, Miriam-sama!

The rushing girl's back disappeared into the carriage.

The Duke looks at us and lowers his head deep.I also picked the hem of the skirt, thanked it back and exhaled.

Richie, let's get out of here.

"- Yes, Your Highness."

Arnold returns to his usual expressionless expression.Riesch, who was called to him, returned to the carriage and sat across from Arnold.

Looking out the window, the dukes did not ride the carriage and stood aside on either side of the road.

Even though I'm riding on behalf of the Witch Princess, that's the Duke's carriage.

I will leave the carriage for a while to avoid following the royal family of other countries.

We'll be the first to arrive at the Grand Temple.

Riesch glanced at Arnold with such thoughts in mind.

(The look on your face just now... is it possible that His Highness Arnold is aware of 'that'?)

Thinking of the circumstances of the Duke of Jonal, he raised his eyebrows.

(Whatever it is, it does not seem like it is, but it is His Highness Arnold.... it's a bit obvious, so we should explore)

Rieschett stared.

Arnold, who was about to resume paperwork in the moving carriage, opened his mouth.

"... what is it?"

"Earlier, Miriam looked at you and looked scary."

I don't suppose you didn't expect me to step into it with a straight ball.Arnold lifts his gaze from the documents and looks at Riesch.

"No, I don't think it's any different than usual."

"That's not true.His Majesty's usual expression is calmer. "

……

"Eh, well, what's wrong?"

The strange timing made Riesch hesitate.Even if he made the traffic, he thought it would be a little more conversation.

"You're the only one who likes me that much."

"I don't think so...."

"... that's enough"

As Rieschett bowed his neck, Arnold placed the document in his hand next to the seat.

Place your cheek cane on the window frame and open your mouth with your eyes down.

"There was no reason.I just don't like kids. "

(I see, that's what happens.)

At this time, I decided to take another step.

"Even though I'm a child, Miriam says she's ten years old.Surely, so is Lord Arnold's third sister. "

"I'm not interested and I don't remember."

(I wonder if it's true....)

That's what Arnold says, but Rieschetto doesn't want to swallow it now.

After all, he behaved differently from his brother, Theodore, in the face.

Without hiding his suspicious gaze, Arnold exhaled a little and said without expression.

"--Just because you are a relative doesn't mean that no one can be unconditionally attached to you.Blood connections don't affect any good relationships. "

"I think you're right."

Even Riesch doesn't know her real parents.Arnold is right to say that he is a different person than his family.

(Still, I feel like I'm talking about your father rather than your sister right now....)

Arnold stares out the window at a certain point.

Liesche looked at you and saw a magnificent stone building in the distance.That is the Grand Temple, the destination.

Emperor Arnold Hein will probably burn down that great temple in the future after Riesch's death.

While still quiet, Leicher takes a deep breath as she sees the beauty poured into the temple.

(We can only stay at the Grand Temple for a few days at most.We need to explore before we can finish the fiancée revocation process)

--About an hour later, the carriage arrived at the Grand Shrine.

Arnold pulls his hand again and gets off the carriage.

After that, I plan to go to the waiting room under the guidance of the priest, dress up, and then meet the high priest.

It was then that the abnormality occurred.

"Stop!! Hey, what the hell is wrong with you!?"

The knights at the rear raise their voices and hear the horses roaring.

Looking back, boys around the age of ten had just fallen off the horse they were riding and got off the ground.

The boy is breathing roughly on his shoulders because he is quite depleted.Arnold's knights surrounded the boy for vigilance and affection.

Riesch wants to get close, but Arnold is holding his wrist tightly.However, it is obvious that it is an anomaly.

(The pattern drawn on the saddle of the horse belongs to the Duke of Jonal.What the hell....)

Riesch, who tried to observe the boy, took a breath.

(That girl....)

There was a worried boy in Riesch's life.

She's four years younger than Riesch, and she should be eleven by now.The rough brown hair has a treacherous appearance, but I have the habit of staring at adults with dark staring eyes.

And one of his eyes was clogged with black eye bands.

(No way....)

A child very similar to the boy is in front of Riesch.

I thought it was a mistake, but it is too similar to that.I feel slightly shorter than I remember, but naturally, given that the time to meet is six months away.

(But I've never heard that before.)

Life as a maid, life as a knight.

The boy desperately squeezes his voice out of his rough breath and tells the knights.

"Please help me... help me..."

"Calm down, can we talk? Just take your time."

"Koh, shaku..."

"No way... hey, somebody get me some water!"

"Ah, Lord Arnold, I too...."

Arnold let go of his hand before Riesch begged.

Arnold starts walking ahead of Riesch and kneels in front of the boy.When they saw it, the knights raised their voices in haste.

"Your Highness! Back off, what danger is there for a child...."

"If you can't speak up, shake your head and answer my question.- What happened to Lord Jonal? "

"....."

The boy nodded loudly and Rieschett's heart made a dreary noise.

Is the Duke already dead?

The boy shook his neck flat.

"If so, does the life-threatening situation persist?"

Again, with denial, my neck was shaken sideways.

Though relieved for the first time, Riesch faded to Arnold's next question.

Is it the same with your daughter?

"....."

Although he took a breath, the boy nodded loudly.

(Good.....)

Arnold narrowed his eyes and stood up.In the meantime, you decided it wasn't urgent enough to argue for a second during the interview.

And there came a cup of water, and the knight supported him, and made him drink.

"Ah, hah...."

If you can speak up, explain the situation.

"... then the carriage..."

The voice that was somehow spinned was still the voice of a boy named Leo, whom Leicher knew.

The boy continued his words with a crying face.

"The wheels of the carriage suddenly came off."

(Eh....)

"My husband jumped out with his daughter in his arms.The carriage and horse slipped down the valley, and my husband hurt his arm.... "

Miriam's voice is in my head.

I don't like carriages like this when I go to the Grand Shrine.And my dad doesn't understand. "

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

After Miriam squeezed the wagon, the wagon she hated slipped.

And the duke who blamed him was injured.It's as if the 'curse' Miriam said had come true.

(... what the hell is this...?)

Riesch unconsciously squeezed the hem of the dress.
