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

Will’s shoulders stiffen at my words.
I don’t want to make him see me contemptuously, but I also don’t want to lie to him.
“Regardless of your motives, thank you,” Grandpa Will says to me, warmly, relaxing again.
“What’s his name?”
“It’s Gilles.”
“Gilles….
Age?”
“Six.”

“And where are his parents…..?”
“They were killed by some other villagers here.”
Killed?
They didn’t die of some disease but instead were killed?
“Alicia, that’s the type of place this is,” Grandpa Will states matter-of-factly, but his voice gives away a hint of ambition.
“Their crime?”

“There was none.”
So then, what.
At 6 years old, Gilles has become an orphan for no reason at all? Is that also considered normal here?
“That’s just not right.”
“Yes.
I think so as well.
But no matter how unfair it is, there’s nothing that can be done about it from in here.”

What is the heroine even doing? She needs to hurry up and do something about these inhumane conditions!
……Wow.
Am I actually relying on the heroine now?
But what can I do? There’s absolutely no merit for me in improving the conditions of this village!
Agh, forget it! I’m a cold-hearted villainess.
This sort of thing shouldn’t bother me!
I’m determined to become the best villainess that this world has ever seen!
…….But if that’s the case, then why does my heart feel like this? Where is this stuffy discomfort stemming from?
“Thank you very much for today,” Grandpa Will says, patting my head.
“This….
Please share it with him,” I say by means of reply, passing Grandpa Will the bag filled with the multi-colored macarons.
Perhaps sensing that my tone had lost some of its previously ambitious bravado, Grandpa Will pats my head one more time and whispers to me that it’ll be okay.

T/N: Gil….
I’m not familiar with this name, but it seems to be a real name according to the website, Behind The Name.
I’m really curious to see if HaruParty uses the same one in the manga version haha.
If they don’t, I might change it later! What do you guys think? At least it’s better than Prince Duke, right? XD
P.S.
Thanks to Max Koot in the comment section, I’ve decided to change Gil to Gilles.
Thank you for your input!!
