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

Chapter 463

With that thought in my mind, I was on my way to my room.

Big Brother Henry had called Finn-sama and Curtis-sama. Originally I was in the way.

Gilles and I left the guest room to get some air, as I was sure they would want to talk without me.

Hey, Alicia.

Yes, what is it?

Alicia, you know, someday.

After saying that much, Gilles stopped talking.

I was sure Gilles understood that I did not like it whenever he started saying something only to stop midway.

Maybe he was looking for the right words. I decided to wait silently for him to say something.

Well, I could guess most of it.

He probably wanted to hear about what would happen to me and Ravaal Kingdom.

Nothing really changes for me, you know. I would always be the daughter of the Williams family of Duelkis Kingdom.

Why were people so afraid of my change? I was never that high and mighty.

I was never the type of person who wanted to be the most prestigious. I think it would be better to be a Queen of Solitude.

Then again, I was aiming to be a Villainess!

Someday.

Gilles words brought me back to myself.

My mind was somewhere else.

Someday?

When Alicia is gone, what do you think I should do?

Oh, that was not what I expected.

I was frozen by the unexpected question, because I had no idea what Gilles should do.

What would be the right course of action for Gilles was up to him.

The answer to lifes choices was not mine to give. But I already carried Gilles life with me that day the day I saved his life.

I took it upon myself to get Gilles out of the impoverished village.

It was too miserable to tell him to figure it out on his own here. I did not want to be an irresponsible woman.

I am dependent on Alicia. This might be a nice thing for me, but it might be a nuisance for Alicia. Maybe this dependence is severe from her point of view. I try my best to hide it, but I may be crushed by the deadly weapon called dependence one day.

I listened silently to Gilles story.

It didnt seem to me that Gilles was dependent on me. I thought he was the most independent child anyone had ever known.

But I guess he was, because he said so. The only person who understands himself best was himself.

I, a stranger, should not deny it.

My standard of conduct is mostly based on Alicia.

Gilles finally muttered in a small voice.

I stopped in the hallway; Gilles also reacted to me, stopping a bit in front of me and turning to look at me.

If I were a saint, I would probably free Gilles here.

I might let him flap his wings and go on a journey to find his true self, but I was no saint.

I was a Villainess, though, and I was the only one who could help Gilles to find his true self. I will not let go of the child who has so much respect for me.

I wanted Gilles to stay by my side from now on. I needed Gilles as much as Gilles needed me.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Gilles looked at me with a huh in his eyes.

I smiled like the Villainess Ive practiced so much over the years.
