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

“Have you heard about Liz Cather’s charm spell being lifted already?”

“Yes, somewhat.”

Gilles told me a bit about it. I haven’t heard how it was broken…

But the process was not so important right now. I only wanted to hear the results.

“The impoverished village is gone. They are going to cultivate land for military use.”

…This information was a little bit beyond my expectations.

Indeed, Rebecca and Nate’s presence at Uncle Will’s grave site seemed a strange sight, if I give it some thought.

Ordinary residents could not leave the impoverished village. Unless some accident happened, it was simply impossible.

And I understood that their presence there meant that they did not illegally escape from the impoverished village.

When I said, “I see,” Father was more surprised than me.

“Did you actually know about this?”

“No, I am actually quite surprised about the disappearance of the impoverished village.”

“…I see.”

I guess he was wondering why I was not distraught when he gave me the amazing information.

Maybe too many surprising things had happened to me in the past, and I had become accustomed to unexpected and surprising information.

…Well, the rest, Uncle Will’s death was still unexpectedly painful.

Only yesterday was enough for me to have major emotional swings. I would not like to have negative emotions for a while.

“Did the villagers agree to destroy the impoverished village?”

“I heard that the majority voted for it.”

“Well, they had great leaders such as Nate and Rebecca, and…Uncle Will.”

“Oh, right. That’s why they were able to liberate the impoverished villages without any major riots.”

“…Still, that place is just not a safe place. You have to be vigilant.”

I said this in a slightly stern tone.

I was dealing with Father, but I had to get this one thing right. It was different when the lives of the commoners in this country could be threatened by liberating people in the impoverished village.

No matter how much Nate and Rebecca lead, their actions should always be monitored.

“Was there anything else?”

“Gilles has created a cure for Spotted Disease.”

“Yes, I heard that from the man himself. That’s quite an accomplishment.”

“I guess Alicia was counting on Gilles even from a long time ago.”

“Gilles developed far beyond my expectations. He might no longer need me.”

Gilles could stand on his own in this world.

He already had the ability to establish a sufficient position in this meritocracy. He would not need my backing.

“…But he still needs Alicia, you know.”

Father said in a soft tone.
