I hurriedly changed into a dress and brushed my hair.
When I finished getting ready, I hurried to the parlor. By the way, I hid the book under my bed.
Knocking on the parlor door, I stepped into the room.
“Alicia, are you really done preparing?”
Duke-sama said in a teasing tone.
Big Brother Albert smiled happily. They were sitting facing each other on the sofa.
I gave Duke-sama a perfect smile and sat down next to Big Brother Albert.
“Yes, anyway, what can I do for you today?”
“I’m here to see you.”
Duke-sama responds imdiately, “I want to see you,” to which I reply, “I’m glad to see you, as well”.
I thought he was in trouble again.
“Hey, we have other things to do.”
Big Brother Albert said in disgust.
…Did you have sothing else to do? Of course, there might never be another day when Duke-sama would just co to see and have tea with .
Things moved so fast that I felt like I was getting caught up in many things one after another.
I guess I had experienced a lot for a sixteen-year-old.
“Before Alicia goes to Ravaal Kingdom, there is one thing I want to resolve.”
“Is it l’s love life?”
“That’s also always a good idea.”
Duke-sama, l was your attendant. You could at least be a little more curious about her.
“There’s still a war between the Liz faction and the Alicia faction within the school.”
“Within the school.”
I was a little taken aback by this.
I had thought it was sothing much bigger. What happened on campus was nothing but a small matter to since I had been expelled from the country.
It wouldn’t hurt or itch to make enemies of all the students at the school. But wait.
I knew there were a few of mine, but it wasn’t until Liz-san’s charm were lifted that they started causing trouble, right?
“Why don’t you let them sign a peace treaty?”
I replied appropriately. It wasn’t a conflict between countries, but that would still help keep them quiet.
We could also make new rules.
“I’m surprised you’re not interested.”
“I have a lot of things on my plate that I have to do that are far more important to .”
“What specifically?”
“That’s…”
Duke-sama’s question had on the verge of ntioning Julie-sama and the book I’d found yesterday.
I ca to my senses and gave a small cough.
“I an, I just don’t have enough ti to deal with the troubles of the school.”
“It’s a pity that I’ve prepared for you a grand stage to be a Villainess.”
“What do you an?”
I frowned at Duke-sama’s words.
Does it an that I could be active as a “Villainess”…? and students could spread the rumors right away. It would be no exaggeration to say that if I were to beco a Villainess, it would spread throughout the country in no ti at all.
“Besides, Alicia would be able to settle any school dispute in an instant, wouldn’t she?”
Duke-sama cast a challenging look at .
Is he trying to get to do sothing…?
“Of course.”
I answered with a big smile.
I was just taking advantage of Duke-sama’s provocation…. But if he looked at like that, anyone would have given the sa answer as .
“Duke really is a bad guy, isn’t he?”
Ignoring Big Brother Albert’s words, Duke-sama brings the teacup to his mouth and pours the tea down his throat.
“Hey, don’t ignore .”
Big Brother Albert, your brother was one of the victims being played by Duke-sama.
I muttered to myself.
