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

“I see.”

Curtis replied quietly as I finished speaking.

I felt better. Even if Curtis condemned me for everything I had just said, I was happy that he listened.

“Thank you for listening to me.”

I said that honestly.

To Curtis, it might have been a boring story. Maybe it was something he didn’t want to hear. He might have thought that I lacked the awareness of being a saint at all.

But I thanked him from the bottom of my heart.

“The girl with the smile like an angel.”

“What?”

I couldn’t help but ask back at his sudden remark.

“My first impression of Liz. From everyone’s point of view, you were a ‘good girl’. I didn’t know what you were thinking inside. Sometimes that even seemed creepy to me. But the real you is nice and human.”

Curtis was really good at hitting on girls.

…Still, those words saved me. He said I was nice because I was human.

I felt so much lighter. Was this why everyone loved him so much?

“…Why did you come here?”

I asked a question that suddenly caught my attention. Silence followed, and after a while Curtis opened his mouth.

“Gilles told me to visit.”

“Gilles?”

I couldn’t help but ask back at the mention of someone I didn’t expect to hear from.

“Yeah. After seeing the real Liz, he’s been concerned about you in his own way. Gilles is busy with Will-sama right now, so I’m here.”

“…Oh, really. But I wonder why Gilles asked?”

I have known for a long time that Gilles hated me. He hated me so much, and with such hatred that he didn’t even try to cover up.

That hatred was a feeling that could not be easily overcome.

But he still worried about me because he was really a kind person.

…I wondered if he was like Alicia-chan.

“Ali-chan is the axis of what he says and does; Ali-chan would say this, Ali-chan would act this way. I think he just goes along with whatever Ali-chan says or does.”

I envied Gilles. I didn’t have anyone like that to set an example for me.

“And,” Curtis adds.

“If you’ve got time to brood, why don’t you use your skills? Gilles said.”

I laughed aloud at those words.

That’s just like him. I could easily imagine Gilles saying that with a furrowed brow.

“Well, I don’t have time to fret. There is nothing more I can do in this house! I have work to do for this country! It is my destiny.”

I stood up from the spot and smiled at Curtis.

The suffocating feeling I had just had was now gone.

“Yes, I agree. Besides, we’ve got to get Ali-chan and the others back as soon as possible, and the thought of her and Duke on vacation in a neighboring country is really pissing me off, you know?”

Curtis’ words made me smile even more.
