The Villainess Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride (hostage) in a Former Enemy Country

“I see, I guess I’m gonna have to stick around for a while.”

“What? But I’m sure you’re tired. You don’t need to worry about me, you can go home first.”

“It’s okay, I wanted to talk to you. Weren’t you praised during the greetings? But when the training started, I thought you were funny because you looked on the verge of death.”

He has a toothy smile and a carefree expression on his face.

He was a cheerful, warm, sunny young man.

“Thank you, Fritz.”

“So don’t thank me. I’m from a town so far away that I’d be happy to have someone to talk to for the next 10 days. My town is called Siutena, do you know it? It’s a northern port town where ships from the Snowy Kingdom Koyor dock.”

“Koyor Kingdom…”

That country was one of the countries with which Rishe was particularly familiar.

The Snowy Kingdom of Koyor was a very cold country located across the sea from the Garkhain Kingdom.

In her past life, Rishe had lived there. It was a land that she had traveled to by ship many times in her other life in order to establish a relationship with the sickly prince in that country.

“I’ve never been to Siutena, but I’ve heard of the name. They have delicious fish.”

“Haha, I’m tired of it! But it’s a nice city. If I hadn’t admired that man, I wouldn’t have aspired to be a knight and would have lived in that city forever.”

“Who is he?”

Fritz chuckled and pointed a finger at Rishe.

“The Crown Prince of this country, Prince Arnold!”

“…”

Fritz continued happily, unaware that Rishe froze.

“A war hero, a master swordsman, a policy reformer! There’s a lot to be said, but in any case, he’s so damn cool!”

“Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah…”

Rishe gently looked away as she gave a clipped reply.

“During the war three years ago, our port city was in trouble. But Prince Arnold was amazing! In the town where our residents took refuge, they came down from the ship and annihilated a bunch of enemies. I don’t even know the details of how they took advantage of the terrain to achieve that!”

“Oh, really?”

“It’s foul play how he’s so skilled in the sword and strategies, you know? I’ve asked a few knights, but I’ve heard that the only people who can approach Prince Arnold are his knight guards. Sometimes I see them in the castle, but their momentum is somehow overwhelming.”

“I see…”

She felt strangely restless at Fritz glittering eyes as he spoke.

“I’ve only seen it once. Prince Arnold’s swordsmanship isn’t only strong, it’s also very beautiful.”

“…”

When she heard those words, she muttered.

“I know…”

At that moment, her face turned hot all of a sudden.

What am I saying now!

“Right? I knew it! Or rather, Lucius has seen Prince Arnold’s sword play, too!”

“Yes, only once!”

Fritz seemed to have not noticed that Rishe was blushing.

She turned around so as not to look strange, but that heat didn’t seem to cool down easily.

Wha-why?!　I’ve said that same line about his beautiful swordsmanship to His Highness himself!vAnd just recently!!!

Come to think of it, she recalled Arnold’s surprise at that moment.

Did I say something quite embarrassing?　But it’s true! Besides, besides…

While Rishe was thinking in circles, Fritz continued to talk happily.
