The Villainess Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride (hostage) in a Former Enemy Country
Chapter 64.1: Who Teacher Was Searching ForHer upset manifested on her face only for a moment.
Rishe quickly erased it and smiled.
“It’s very interesting to experiment with His Highness Arnold.”
She exuded false curiosity and pretended to be genuinely interested.
Her heart was pounding, but Michel probably didn’t notice it.
I have to draw out information…
Michel’s “gunpowder” was a chemical that could blow up everything.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRishe couldn’t believe it when she witnessed its power for the first time. The experimental hut exploded from the inside, and the stone walls shattered and crumbled in an instant.
“Don’t tell anyone about this drug, Rishe.”
After showing Rishe the site, Michel smiled against the black smoke rising at a distance, putting his index finger to his lips.
“We have to hide it properly. — I’ll decide who will be the first to use this gunpowder.”
Michel had been searching for that person for a long time. And Rishe, who had been his student, had hoped that such a person wouldn’t appear forever.
But still, he finally found him.
He had found the worst candidate in the world that Rishe could ever imagine.
“I never thought I’d meet him here.”
Michel whispered calmly, unlike his voice earlier.
Miche’s student, Rishe, knew about the conclusions Michel had drawn in his research. Michel knew how much sound could reach others, in which direction and at what distance.
With his back to the knights, Michel’s speech would be almost inaudible to them.
“I wanted to give my gunpowder to someone who could hold the real power of war. So over the years, I’ve been researching the policies of the kings of various countries. But just by reading the records, I could tell that the emperor of Garkhain was emotional and troublesome. And I felt that his son, the Crown Prince, obviously wasn’t not the right person for my experiment – because his policies made him the true ‘good king’ himself.”
After a gentle smile, Michel tucked his hair behind his ears.
Rishe innocently asked a question so not to show her frustration.
“Teachr, what kind of person are you looking for?”
In her life as an alchemist, Michel had never told her that.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“It’s a secret until I find him”, he said mischievously probably because of Rishe was against the “gunpowder experiment”.
Maybe, Michel would tell her in this life.
As she stared at Michel expectantly, he chuckled.
“Neither a tyrannical king nor a good king is suitable for my ‘experiment’. I’ve decided that the Emperor and the Crown Prince of Garkhain fit the bill. What have with me is premature.”
… So, Teacher has never approached His Highness Arnold in my other lives.
Michel’s gunpowder wasn’t used in the war waged Emperor Arnold Hein waged.
If Arnold had known of the existence of gunpowder, he would surely have put it to practical use and waged an “efficient” war, just as how he said he used the pocket watch he lent to Rieshe to make decisions on a mission.
Teacher isn’t interested in others’ gossip. Rather than regard His Highness Arnold based on his reputation as the “ruthless Crown Prince”, he believed in the “results” of the policies that he had implemented. — And after His Highness became Emperor, he excluded him from his experiment list for the same reason as the current Emperor.
