The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Married Life in a Former Enemy Country in Her Seventh Loop Chapter 7

This is a retranslation since copies of the early chapters have been lost. I'll translate as fast as possible, but please enjoy the updates for now.

Her sixth life, the one prior to this loop.

It was in an island kingdom that Rishe, disguised as a man, beca a knight. It was a place she reached while traveling.

It was a lovely and historic kingdom built on red bricks.

So knights picked her up and took care of her for a while. They had never noticed that Rishe, who disguised herself as a man for the trip, was a woman, so they recomnded her to join the Order.

The training was literally blood-curdling.

I had learned swordsmanship as part of self-defense while I was still the daughter of a duke. Although this had given a solid foundation, the training that the knights imposed on as a man was completely different from what a young lady would learn just for the sake of etiquette.

I trained myself tirelessly and honed my swordsmanship day and night. Just when I finally felt like a full-fledged swordsman…

The Garkhain imperial army, led by Emperor Arnold, invaded the castle.

(How exactly did I end up here…)

Rishe was sitting limp and quiet in her chair.

Arnold was seated in the chair across from her. He crossed his legs and propped his cheek on the armrest, looking arrogant as he appeared to be.

「What's wrong? You seem to be in a foul mood.」

「…Shouldn't I be?」

When he pointed out the obvious, she replied sullenly.

However, there's no way I can simply proceed and say,『You killed in another life, so it's quite complicated to face you head on』, right? Since experiencing the first loop, I decided to keep this fact secret from anyone.

「I've made a lot of plans after I get banished, you know? Thanks to you, my parents ca out of the house, and even His Majesty caught wind of it…」

I massaged my temples, recalling the uproar that ensued.

After Arnold's marriage proposal and Rishe's rejection of it, a hushed silence reigned in front of the ducal mansion.

Dietrich was the first to speak up.

『The Crown Prince of G-Garkhain propoooosed to Rishe?!』

His near-exclamatory cry reached her parents' ears, who were listening inside the mansion.

They rushed out and stopped her. Rishe told them,「I have no intention of marrying him. I'll leave the kingdom as Dietrich had decreed」However, neither of them would listen. They were pale and just flustered.

anwhile, a gleaming carriage rushed in from across the street.

Then the ruler of the kingdom rolled out of the muddy carriage.

The muddy king grabbed his son by the collar and forcibly made him lower his head, knocking him to the ground.

Then he imdiately shouted at Arnold.

『Prince Arnold! Please forgive my idiotic son's deplorable behavior!! You ca all the way from Garkhain to attend the soiree of my son's fiancée introduction, and yet we didn't even properly greet you, let alone express our heartfelt gratitude!!』

『F-Father, it hurts! The rocks, the rocks are digging into my forehead!!!』

『And Lady Rishe! I apologize for my foolish son!! I understand that this is a selfish request, but as both the King and his father, I sincerely apologize! Furthermore, please reconsider Prince Arnold's proposal in a positive light, for the sake of our country!』

Her parents hurriedly followed suit, rubbing their heads to the ground along with the King.

They prostrated themselves in front of the townspeople without care, making Rishe dizzy.

Arnold, who had been watching the play with amusent, suddenly erased his wicked smile and stepped in front of the King.

『Please lift your head up, Your Majesty.』

When devoid of any emotion, Arnold's face instantly looked cold
