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

“‘She’s a dumb chick, huh?'”

Noticing Alicia and Duke when they stopped, Victor, who had been watching them from afar, interjected. As the rain poured down, Victor and Leon stared at Alicia with furrowed brows.

Seeing Alicia cry for the first time was disturbing. But Kushana did not change her expression and remained silent.

“I respect the Master for being such an idiot.”

“I see….Being able to stick to your decisions is not childish.”

“Are you feeling relieved?”

At Leon’s words, Victor’s brow wrinkled even more.

“Are you relieved that Master will remain in the Ravaal Kingdom for a short time longer?”

“What?”

“I am relieved. I’m glad that Master didn’t abandon us.”

Leon replied calmly, but Victor could not say anything.

Alicia’s sobs echoed through the heavy rain, and Leon and Victor stood silently watching her, each pondering their own thoughts.

“I don’t know what happened, but you’d better let her rest soon. After all, she picked the flower of God. It’s a mystery how she’s still standing and talking right now.“

Leon responded to Kushana’s words.

“…I wonder why Master puts her life in danger for the sake of others.”

“I guess it is her nature.”

Calmly, Kushana’s voice echoed.

At the same time, Victor approached Duke and called out.

“Come here, quickly.”

Duke replied with a short, “Yeah”, as he ruffled up his dripping blue hair, and took Alicia in his arms.

Alicia seemed to have fallen asleep, exhausted from crying. Her eyes were red, and her face was painted with exhaustion.

Victor was somewhat bothered by Duke holding Alicia in his arms. He felt that he should be the one holding the sleeping Alicia.

Leon looked at Victor and felt pity for him.

Leon wondered if Victor was acting like a child by not being aware of his own feelings.

The air was a little heavy, and everyone followed Kushana as she walked with large strides. It was Victor who broke the silence.

“Hey, she’s exiled, isn’t she? Then there are many people in your country who don’t care about her.”

His sharp, quiet voice left Duke unable to respond, and Leon couldn’t help but look at Duke’s expression.

Duke’s face was expressionless, and he didn’t seem to respond to Victor’s words. Perhaps annoyed at Duke’s lack of response, Victor added.

“I think the kid would be happier in this country than in a place full of people who don’t know the value of this kid, right?”

“What do you want to do with Alicia?”

Duke responded calmly, and Victor came to a halt, staring at Duke as if he were about to pierce him.

The rain accentuated the luster of Victor’s blonde hair, and one could sense the royal dignity of Victor as he stood there.

Leon had never seen Victor with such a serious expression on his face, and Kushana, who noticed, stopped walking and turned to look at Victor and Duke.

“I want her next to me when I become King.”

For a moment, the sound of rain hitting the ground was lost, and only Victor’s low, weighted voice echoed in Duke’s ears.
