Alicia, The Eldest Daughter of the Williams family
Since being reincarnated into this world, this is the most excited that I’ve ever been.
Can you believe that I’m finally going to the Ravaal Kingdom? I an, would you believe it? To be able to go to the Ravaal Kingdom, which was originally said to be impossible to access, is like a dream co true!
…I don’t like the idea of riding in a carriage, though. Maybe Duke-sama made sure that I wouldn’t be hard any further by having in a carriage, but honestly, I’m glad I’m still in a cage. That way, I could beco more like a villainess.
I wonder if my life over there will be spent living in prison…
“That would be interesting.”
I found my mouth unconsciously slackened.
The problem is, I have to make sure that no one knows that I’m a young lady. …But there’s no normal young lady with one eye missing, so I guess they won’t find out.
As I was absentmindedly thinking about this, the carriage suddenly ca to an abrupt halt and I was thrown forward.
Thanks to my regular training, I was able to stop myself before I hit my face. An ordinary young lady would have her head slamd into the carriage wall for sure.
What happened? Did I run over soone? Did so bandits show up?
I was about to look out the window of the carriage to see what was going on when the door opened violently.
“What?”
What ca into my sight was Duke-sama, his hair slightly disheveled, a bit of sweat on his forehead, and out of breath.
…It was rare to see the cool Duke-sama looking like this.
Did he forget to tell sothing? It must be important since he’s in such a hurry, right?
The horse that Duke-sama was riding also looked a bit tired.
I wonder what kind of road he took to get here.
“Well…um…”
Just as I was about to say sothing, Duke-sama’s hand quickly went around my neck, and before I knew it, his soft, warm lips were already pressed against mine.
Before I had ti to be surprised, my eyes went wide awake, and my thoughts ca to a halt. I felt like I was drowning in that forceful yet gentle kiss.
I hadn’t expected my first kiss to be taken away so easily.
Duke-sama’s lips gently parted. Surprised, more than embarrassed, I just stared at him.
“I guess it’s too early to kiss a child.”
Duke-sama smiled wickedly as he looked at my face.
Oh, Duke-sama was that kind of person. I had completely forgotten that he was a prince who looked cool but had a rather crooked personality.
Well, I knew that he wasn’t the kind of prince who would co to tell he loved when we parted. He just ca to tease ?
Even if that’s the case, since he kissed , I think it’s safe to say that he misses at least a little.
Hmmm, but it’s still frustrating to be left on the receiving end.
I put both of my hands around Duke-sama’s neck and smiled bewitchingly, as if our noses were about to touch.
“The prince’s favor is well-earned.”
Duke-sama’s eyes widened for a mont, and then quickly broke into a smirk. I could feel my heart tighten as much as I could at that smirk.
“You’re a cheeky little princess, aren’t you?”
I’m not a princess, I’m a young lady… Since when on earth am I supposed to be married to a prince?
“Prince, we must be on our way.”
I hear the slightly awkward voice of the guards. At the sa ti, I took my hands off of Duke-sama’s neck.
Oh, well, you’ve shown your true colors in front of the guards, is that okay?
The prince was supposed to have amnesia, right? Moreover, it’s not good that he slipped out of the castle and kissed a criminal…
I glanced at the guard’s face.
…He seems to be one of Duke-sama’s loyal retainers who was there when I was put in the caged carriage.
“You take care of the rest.”
He nodded deeply with serious eyes at Duke-sama’s words.
Apparently, he knew the truth about everything. I see, that’s quite reassuring.
Duke-sama is a man of few flaws. Everything he did was perfectly executed.
…Was it because I was involved? Well, let’s not get carried away.
“Don’t look away from in favor of other n.”
Duke-sama grabbed my head with one hand and grinned at , but his eyes were serious.
“As long as I don’t lose sight of my purpose in my trip to the Ravaal Kingdom, there’s no way I’m going to let soone else distract .”
I replied with a big smile, brushed off Duke-sama’s hand, and gently closed the carriage door.
It’s not the last ti we’ll be together, and it’s not a bad way to say goodbye.
With that thought in mind, I got rocked again by the traveling carriage.
Righteous Flower of Evil:
I was not expecting that lol. Was a bit forceful, a bit rushed, but I can’t say I hated it haha. Since Alicia clearly didn’t mind all that much, I’d say it was a good developnt! A fun send off! Though the line about kissing a child was… no. Just no. Please. ^^’ There were so many things he could have said, and that is what he went with? I’m kind of scared to know what he’d use as a pick up line now.
