I came back but I would leave Duelkis Kingdom once again.
I did not know if it would be so easy to leave again… Last time I was able to enter Ravaal Kingdom easily because I was a sinner.
When I remained silent at Mel’s question, Gilles interjected.
“That’s the reaction you’re going to give me again, isn’t it?”
Unable to say anything, I chuckled.
“Ali is not a person who can fit in one country, is she?”
I heard Big Brother Albert’s voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOh my, it had been a long time since I’d seen Big Brother Albert like this. It was the first time since I was a little girl.
I thought I would never see these eyes of sisterly love again. Was it because the spell of charm was broken?
I have mixed feelings about this.
Because of the hostility that existed before, I was able to shine as Villainess…
“I’m really sorry.”
He bowed deeply as Liz-san did.
I had never imagined he would act like this. I stared at him, frozen.
What? What? What did big brother apologize for? Did you forget my position?
I was an exiled sinner. A title I could brag about for the rest of my life. If you want, I should be the one to bow down and thank you…
Neither the saint nor the capture target needed to bow down to the villainess.
“I was wrong about Ali. Maybe I lost myself at that time. I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you. I’ll do whatever it takes to make amends.”
I almost shouted, “You’re mistaken, what you did was correct!”.
You didn’t have to protect me, you know. What about protecting Liz-san?
I tried to compose myself in this confusing situation.
Not that I was hoping for redemption, but I had to be a Villainess here! This was the place to make up for it!
If I failed to do this, I would become the “good one”. I refuse that kind of future.
“Atonement, huh?” I muttered to Big Brother Albert, looking down at him like a Villainess.
I have such a wonderful smile on my face now that I think it will be written up in the textbooks as a bad smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBig Brother Albert slowly raised his head in response to my words. I could see my reflection in his purple eyes.
I confirmed once again that my left eye had returned to normal. I was a bit at a loss for words.
I smiled at him, masking my sadness.
“Is this to restore Big Brother Albert’s dignity?”
He gave me a “huh?” look.
What kind of answer did he want? Did he think I would tell him something like, “Please be nicer to me”?
I would never say such a thing.
Now, let’s keep on saying things that Big Brother Albert won’t like.
“It is a disgrace to the House of Williams to lose sight of who you are, and Big Brother Albert is the eldest son of one of the five noble Williams families, remember? Don’t forget your position. You can’t make excuses like ‘I lost my mind’ when you are going to make a big decision that will shake the country. Please take responsibility for your decisions. So, if you have time to regret your past of being on Liz-san’s side and perceiving me as an enemy, and think about doing something to make amends to me, then regain your dignity as Williams Albert.”
I said this to Big Brother Albert, never looking away.
I was still the sister who was not very nice to him.
It was at times like this that I would say to him, “I don’t need any atonement, or your kindness”.
I was not cut out to be such a good girl.
