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

would be behind this door today.

 

Now I was beginning to have some regrets.
I shouldn’t have brought Gramps here so easily.
Maybe I should have been more careful.

 

“Gramps, I’m not that strong, but I’ll still protect Gramps.”

 

“…Thank you.”

 

Gramps laughed softly and patted my head as he looked at me with kind eyes.

 

I love these big, slightly stumpy hands of his.

 

“There is no one here to interrupt my uncle and father’s conversation.”

 

Duke said as he looked straight at Gramps.

 

I think this was the first time I saw him use honorifics.
It was kind of refreshing.

 

“My nephew is seamless, isn’t he?”

“And you, too.”

 

“I was defeated by a child who sent me a letter as soon as he heard that Alicia had told the story of the impoverished village in front of the five great nobles despite being a child.”

 

…Haah?

 

“You promised to take that to your grave.”

 

Duke said somewhat uncomfortably.

 

I still couldn’t catch up with their conversation.

 

“Wait a minute, Duke, did you know that Alicia was going to the impoverished village?”

 

“She’s a curious girl, so I knew she’d go there if she knew about the impoverished village.”

 

He said this as a matter of course.

 

Duke, I hope your efforts pay off soon, but knowing Alicia, I knew it would be difficult.

 

“How did you send the letter? I mean, did you two keep it a secret until now?”

“I didn’t think it was particularly necessary to tell you.
Besides, Duke told me not to tell anyone.”

 

“There is only one person in that village that I trust.”

 

“I wouldn’t have gone out that day Alicia arrived if I hadn’t received the letter from Duke.”

 

Indeed, when you think about it, Alicia was too lucky.
Gramps went out of his way at night.
And near the impoverished village and the wall outside.

 

I am now more interested in the mysterious relationship between Gramps and Duke than in the conversation between Gramps and the king.

 

“How did you read the letter?”

 

“It’s like a verbal message.
When you opened the letter, you could hear the boy’s voice.”

 

I see, Alicia was eight years old when she went to Gramps.
That means Duke was 13, around the time he started using magic.
And Duke’s magic power was different from normal people.

 

“How did you manage to send a letter to Gramps?”

 

“I made the bird drink a few drops of my blood and some Abel.”

 

…I’m speechless because so many things were said that I had no idea about.

 

Maybe I am the only sane person in this world.
