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

After leaving Arnold's back, Riesch exhales.

A monk came to the balcony this time, taking a few deep breaths to wake up the fire on his cheeks.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Riesch.I was interrupting the ceremony for a break, but it was going to take me a little longer to get back to work. "

Looking at the unfortunate monk's face, Liesche leans her neck.

"Don't worry about that.But what happened? "

"That's it....."

The monk lowered his eyebrows and said in a troubled voice.

"... the young lady acting for the Witch Princess was put in a cage in her room..."

……



Leaving the cathedral for the ceremony, Riesch was walking alone in the courtyard.

― Miriam didn't like the costumes we prepared for the festival.

The monk said this with his shoulders down.

"Currently, Miriam and the acquainted priest in our church are working with the Duke of Jonal to persuade him in front of the door.... if we don't adjust our costumes by tomorrow morning, we won't make it to the festival. "

That's why Miriam's room is in a mess.

The priest in charge of Rieschett's ritual was one of Miriam's acquaintances, so he was part of the persuasion.

After Riesch offered to postpone the ceremony, she asked where Miriam was in the room.

However, instead of heading down the hallway where the dukes are gathered, they walk through the courtyard behind the guest building.I had a feeling, but I found something unexpected along the way.

There's only one little footprint left.

The scabbard of footprints followed the forest that surrounded the exterior of the Great Temple.Looks like the Lord of the Footprints is headed your way.

(... when I arrived here, I was explained that 'the forest surrounding the Great Temple is forbidden to enter because of the sanctuary'...)

Though I look at it, it seems to be a boy's shoe in shape.After walking through the footprints, Riesch looks up at the arriving guest building.

Just then, a familiar voice rang from the easternmost window on the third floor.

"I only wear pink dresses at festivals!!"

……

The birds stopped in the courtyard trees and flew away in surprise.What followed was the Duke's voice.

"Miriam!! How many times do I have to tell you, hear me out!!"

(Good. You both look fine.)

For the time being, I stroked my chest down at the argument between my father and my daughter.

Although there was no major injury, it was after the carriage slipped.I was worried about mental exhaustion, but as far as I could hear my voice, it seemed fine.

The windows are open and the curtains are not closed.

From Leesher's position, I can see Miriam standing staring at the door.

(Looks like there's really a lot of people packing up across the door.... this will make Miss Miriam harder and harder.)

Rieschett looked around to make sure that nobody had any sign of anyone.

And he looked up at one of the trees lined up in the courtyard, close to Miriam's room.

……

When the hem of the dress was rolled, the dagger attached to the thigh was exposed.

The dagger passes barely and stretches his finger to the belt for securing.The fasteners on this belt are tied together by a thin rope with a hook on the tip.

(Sighs)

The window raised still echoed Miriam's voice.

"Why doesn't Dad understand!?Even the carriage just now met with my mysterious powers!! "

"Don't be ridiculous.It was a wheel failure and an accident! "

"Something different, because of my power!!That's why if you don't do me a favor, it's gonna be tough again! "

"Miriam...."

"Quickly, everyone is gone from the front door!!Otherwise.... "

Miriam's voice stopped snapping.

Looking back at the window to see if she felt any signs, she looked stiff with an incredible expression.

"Eh... eh, eh, eh...!?"

Standing from the window frame into the room, Riesch smiled at Miriam.

"-Hello, Miriam."

Fix the hem of the disturbed dress and put the hooking rope in your hand.I noticed the leaves tangled in my hair and removed them while brushing them with my hands.

Miriam opens and closes her mouth when she sees Richie coming out of the window.

"Miriam? Miriam, what's going on?"

"No, it's nothing!!"

Miriam responded in haste to the Duke's call.Then, looking back at Riesch, he asked in a whisper that could not hide the upset.

"Ah, why are you here...!? It's on the third floor, but how did you get out of the window...!"

"It's a secret. Please keep the rest of you quiet about my visit."

Riesch smiled deeply as she raised her finger in front of her lips.

Miriam makes her eyes flutter and then makes a magical look.

"... after all, you have the same magical powers as me."

(That's not true, but it's dangerous for the young lady to imitate it...)

Liesche crouched in front of Miriam, while her inner feelings fell down gently.

"Dear Miriam, what is your dissatisfaction with the festive dress?Even the white dress over there is so cute. "

……

Although Miriam leaned once, she eventually spinned her words.

My mom is dead.

"... yes"

Smaller and thinner Miriam's fingers picked her fluffy, yellow-colored hair, and as she rolled her hair tips, she began to play.

"'Miriam is my princess, so a pink dress like her suits me well,' she said.That's why I like the pink dress my mom told me to look good on behalf of the Witch Princess. "

……

Listening to the explanation, I gently lay down my eyes.

(--The young lady is lying)

Riesch knows that.

Wrapping her hair around her fingertips is a habit that Miriam used to lie to.

Nevertheless, she knew it was true that the deceased Miriam's mother wore a lot of pink dresses on her daughter.

(I'm sure it's true that I want to wear a pink dress.But it is a lie to mention it as a reason for my diligence.But if so, what is that lie for?)

While thinking, Riesch opens her mouth.

Well then, Miriam. Shall I change this white dress to pink later? "

"Eh...!?"

Was it an unexpected suggestion? My honey eyes were wide open.

Well, is it magic? Is it magic after all?

"It's not magic.But they prepare dyes and dye them to the color of their choice. "

"Dye..."

"It looks like a cloth that won't shrink even if it gets wet.Once you've just finished the final tailoring, can you arrange the finished dress with your own hands?Change the white dress to pink and put on flower decorations, for example. "

……

Seeing Miriam sparkling her eyes makes her feel cute and helpless.Riesch told her while relaxing her cheeks.

"It's a lot of fun work, but it can also take a while.If we don't finish the adjustment by the end of the day, it will be difficult to make it to the festival. "

"No, I'll do it! Now!... ah"

Miriam, who had accidentally replied, blocked her hands like she was in a hurry.Riesch stood up with a giggle.

"Now please open the door and show your father your face.... before that, I'd like you to rest your eyes for a moment. "



Waiting for Miriam to close her eyes, Riesch walks towards the window.

"Down" from here is much faster and easier than climbing.

After a while, Reese arrived on the ground in the courtyard and threw a voice at the window she came out of.

"--You can open your eyes now!"

"Ugh, lie...!!"

Miriam looks down at us from the window.Riesch raised her index finger again and hit her lips.

Looking at the former lord, nodding, politely bowing, then walking back the way he came.

(Of course, I will look into your daughter and Lord Arnold.I can't abandon "Another" in this world.)

After exploring the signs, Riesch walked gently from the shadow of the trees towards the forest.

(When I came here in my previous life, I was told that the forest was a sacred place.But at that time, there should have been no mention of being off-limits)

The thin footprints belonged to a small child.

This is not Miriam's footprint because the shoe shape is for boys.And if we look at the trail, we can see that it's new and just arrived in a few hours.

(This may not be that important, but... if someone worried is entering or leaving the off-limits forest, you can't ignore it.)

Richie, who had been walking around, decided to turn off his footsteps before he reached the entrance to the woods.

Kill signs carefully and move forward without making any noise.

Then there were signs of people in the woods at dusk.A very small footstep approached Leicher.

Hello, Leo.

"Wow!?"

When Leo called out to him, Leo screamed briefly.Open your eyes and stare at Riesch.

"... you were with the Crown Prince of Garchain earlier..."

(This is the second time I've been so surprised to hear from you.)

With that in mind, Riesch smiles at Leo.Leo looked at Riesch with vigilance.

The woods are off-limits.

"I know.... and that's where you come in and out."

"Misunderstanding. I just came to look for flowers to decorate your room and tried to turn back here."

It doesn't suit the age of eleven, and Leo's words aren't smart.

However, his behavior was softer without thorns than the scars he had encountered in the knight's life.Looking down at Leo's tiny head, Riesch tells him.

"There's a Zaotto moss cut on the bottom of your pants, right?"



"The moss only inhabits places where there is no sun.For example, in the woods. "

Leo raised his eyebrows.Afterwards, she turned away from her face in a troublesome way.

"Are you going to preach?Or are you gonna stick me in the church? "

"I won't do that, but I need you to show me around."

"... where are you going?"

"Naturally."

Richie smiled and pointed her finger in the direction Leo walked.

No entry into the woods.
