I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History

Well, not so much now…. But I suppose they could manage without me.

Victor didn’t have to use me to get weird ideas about Vian, either. The fact that he didn’t explain why I was sent to Vian in the first place suggests that he may have had a little brotherly curiosity about how he was doing.

I would not interfere in this matter. I couldn’t afford to get caught up in something every time.

I laid down next to Rai, who was sleeping comfortably. Rai was warm and cozy.

…It was too complicated a family for me to say anything about it.

The next King should have been Victor, right? But because a member of the Harrist family married into the Sanchez family, Vian was given the right to succeed to the throne. Besides, he was the first prince.

“Why don’t they just play rock-paper-scissors to decide?”

I muttered to myself as I slowly meditated and tried to fall asleep.

At that moment, I felt a strange sensation in my left eye. It was as if my eyesight had returned for a moment.

…What was that?

Because of the unexpected event, I couldn’t think straight. Has my magical power weakened?

There were only two things I could think of. Either my magic was breaking, or something happened to Uncle Will.

It couldn’t be him. I sincerely hope it was the former.

I want to find out what happened to Uncle Will right now. I hope nothing happened to him, but if something did, I don’t know if I could bear it.

…I want to find out what happened to Uncle Will right now. I hope nothing bad has happened to him, because if it did, I’m not sure I’d be able to bear it.

Perhaps sensing my state of mind, Rai woke up and pressed his face against mine as if to comfort me.

You shouldn’t be so timid here, Alicia. Gilles and Duke-sama were both in the Duelkis Kingdom.

I’m certain they would take care of it. So, I shall stay here and do the best I can.

“Thank you.”

I murmur to Rai and pat him gently.

There was no time to waste, not even a little. I needed to learn more about the realities of this country. I needed to see it, hear it, feel it.

Today I learned a little bit about the history of the royal family of the Ravaal Kingdom. I had a feeling that I’d be learning a lot more from Grandfather and the others in the future.

…I should also start planning for the day when I would return to the Duelkis Kingdom.
