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

458

…Well, that’s a good place to start.

I coughed a little and told the truth, leaving out a lot of details.

“At first, I wasn’t in a position to meet them, but I guess they thought I was someone who could be useful. His Majesty the King liked me and invited me to the Royal Palace.”

All three of them were speechless, or maybe they just widened their eyes and froze.

The way they stared at me, I thought they were saying, “What is she talking about?”.

I was sure they were wondering how I could be favored by the King when I was exiled and went to the Ravaal Kingdom as a sinner.

I wondered if I should continue the conversation or wait for someone to open up.

Or should I wait for someone else to speak up?

As I was wondering, Curtis-sama slowly opened the conversation.

“…That’s right. This girl is not normal.”

“I knew my sister was strange, but was it the same even in other countries?”

“That’s a classic.”

Big Brother Henry let out a small gasp after Big Brother Albert and Finn-sama both commented on this.

Creating the vibe that they wouldn’t be surprised by this much.

…Certainly, Big Brother Henry was the one who was with me the most in all of this. He should know me reasonably well.

“Um…we’re not even at the beginning of this story yet.”

“The beginning of the story is the very first sentence of the story, to be liked by the King!”

“Well, I guess, I could start there.”

I replied calmly to Curtis-sama’s loud voice.

The people who were conversing here were always relatively calm in the face of various happenings, but their eyes were wide open, and they had expressions of blatant surprise.

How funny!

I have grown so much that I could easily show emotions that I wanted to let people see without letting them know what I’m thinking.

“I WON’T BE FRIGHTENED ANYMORE. I’D RATHER KILL MYSELF THAN TO BE FRIGHTENED.”

Big Brother Henry looked at me dead eyed at my following expression.

“No, wait. Please keep being human.”

“If I’m surprised by every single thing Ali says, my facial muscles will get sore.”

“It’s good for muscle training, isn’t it?”

“There it is, Ali’s love of muscle training. I’m sure Ali likes muscle training…I mean, is there anything good about exercising your facial muscles?”

“Macho men are very popular.”

“I think you’ve got the wrong image for Macho.”

“You two need to stop being such good banter.”

Curtis-sama interrupts the conversation between me and Big Brother Henry.

“…And what about Gilles?”

It was surprising that Finn-sama would bring up Gilles.

Unsure of his intentions, I tilted my head slightly as I answered.

“He’s tired, I think he’s still sleeping.”

“I wonder if he won’t complain about not hearing about Alicia’s story with us. He might get cranky if he hears about it later.”

So grown up…

Finn-sama was a shorty in the Otome Game, but he’s not to be underestimated. …I mean, he’s very calculating. He lived a cunning life.

Gilles was also mature on the outside, but still a child emotionally. I bet he could never be this attentive yet.

Gilles might become someone like Finn-sama when he turns 20.

“Shall I go get him? The story has just started.”

“…Curtis-sama?”

I’d been surprised by all of this for a while now.

When did everyone become so friendly with Gilles?

I guess Curtis-sama understands Gilles’ feelings the best, in the sense that he was an outcast and not one of the Five Noblemen.
