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

turn.
And the voices of the people were as loud as ever.

 

“Please, Alicia, don’t leave me.”

 

…You look like a lost child…Gilles, you have an expression like that too.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen his childish face.
It’s nice to see him talking to me like this, since he’s been getting cocky lately.

 

The guard tugged lightly on my arm as I walked.
I mustn’t show any expression of loneliness on my face.
It’s a part of my pride as a villainess.

 

Of course, I’m going to miss Gilles and Uncle Will and everyone.
But I want to see what’s out there, you know? I don’t want to die knowing nothing.

 

The guards seized Gilles to prevent him from getting any closer to me.
Gilles’ voice echoes in the room louder than anyone else’s.
His cries are deafening, harsh, and sorrowful.

 

It’s my fault that he has to scream like this.
That makes me a very villainous woman.

 

…Oh, God.
I don’t want to leave any strange unfinished business behind.

 

I forced myself to shake off the guard’s arm and approached Gilles.
I must have gotten really strong to be able to shake it off so easily.
Or maybe the guards thought that since I am a woman and they underestimated my strength.
Well, I don’t care about that now.

The guard grabbed my arm as hard as he could as I tried to make my way to Gilles.

 

“Do not resist.” (Guardsman 1)

 

I should remain calm.
I wasn’t acting violent.
I just wanted to say my last goodbye to Gilles.
Yet now I guess that’s a terrible idea, as if i’m making a fuss out of nothing.

 

“Fine.
Take your hands off her.”

 

Duke said to the guards.
Duke is really kind, after all.

 

I approached Gilles with this thought in mind, tears streaming from his eyes.

 

“It’s unusual for Gilles to cry.”

 

“Whose fault do you think it is?”

 

Gilles said, his voice quivering slightly at my smile.

 

“I’m proud of you, Gilles.”

 

I said and placed the bracelet on my wrist into his palm, I pulled my hand away when I saw that Gilles had grabbed the bracelet.

 

“Is this…”

 

Gilles stared at the bracelet.

 

“The bracelet you said you wanted before…”

 

I left without a word and went back to the guards.
The guards still grabbed my arms roughly.
I was certain that they were not Duke-sama’s guards.
I would have preferred to be taken away by Duke’s guards, who adored me instead.
With that thought in mind, I walked towards the door.

It was at that moment when I walked out of the room that someone gently grabbed me by the neck.
It was not painful at all.

 

“I’ll come get you, I promise.”

 

He said in my ear.
In a voice so quiet that no one could hear.

 

…What? You must be kidding.

 

Did your memories return? Actually, no, the memories didn’t disappear in the first place.
It was all an act, and Duke was just one step ahead of me.
This was a complete disaster.
For some reason, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

 

I could see why he had gone to such great lengths.
He knew that I wanted to be exiled.
Unless someone did a lot of things to deserve to be exiled, they wouldn’t have done it.

 

No one had been exiled in the last few decades.
The last people to be exiled were those excellent people that the current king’s mother had dealt with….

 

And the current king has no reason whatsoever to have me exiled.
My father is one of the five great nobles.
It would be too difficult for him to exile me.

 

In other words, no matter how hard I tried to get myself exiled, it was impossible for me to do so.
So the idea was to get the people involved.
The first exile in decades would have to be a very big deal.

 

Besides, Duke is the prince of this country.
He doesn’t have the authority to simply deport me.
He knew that I wanted to be seen in a bad light, so he acted accordingly.
Pretending to have amnesia… What a schemer.

 

So everyone in this room was playing right into his hands.
How horrible.

 

I quietly raised the corners of my mouth and left the room with the guards.

  

The game was finally on.

 

Williams, Alicia: Deported to the Country of Ravaal.

 

Righteous Flower of Evil:

Oh.
Ohhhh.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I’m so stupid.
How did I not see that coming!? XD I kept saying I knew something was off, but then I gave up on that train of thought in favor of Duke becoming an idiot.
Looks like I’m the real idiot! I love it XD I thoroughly enjoyed that suspense haha.
And I’m glad the amnesia incident was dealt with quickly.
I hate when these sorts of arcs get drawn out!

 

So!? Tell me honestly.
How many of you were blindsided like I was? And how many of you saw it coming a mile away??
