I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History - Chapter 377
“Time will solve it.”
This was my heart. [M]
It may have provoked the anxiety of our people. But if the people of the poor village do anything wrong, I’m prepared to take responsibility, and Duke is prepared.
And there were Nate and Rebecca. Never hurt innocent people. I’m sure it’s stronger than anyone else. Because even though we’re innocent people, we’ve been hurt.
I understand the pain better than anyone else.
“… well, that’s true, too.”
That being said, I receive from Paul a paper bag containing three plants. My nose smelled a little tingling.
This pungent smell… I wonder if it’s Torquis.
“Are you that sick?”
Paul asked me that with disinterest. [M] I was surprised by the sudden question.
“I thought you didn’t want to talk to me anymore…”
I answered with a weak voice, “Well,” thinking of you.
I didn’t want to believe it all the time, but the truth is I was able to develop the medicine, and I can only slow down the progression. It is difficult to cure spotted disease that has progressed so much.
Paul opened his mouth to comfort me when I suddenly lost my confidence.
“I hope it helps.”
The voice was calm and gentle.
“Thank you…. ah, the price”
“No, I don’t want to take money from the poor.”
Sounds like a thorn, but Paul knows I have money now. I am cared for by the Williams family of the Five Nobles.
Paul likes money. That’s why I’m also an informant.
… this must be his good intentions.
I stare at the paper bag I gripped. [M]
You owe me a favor.
“You don’t have to give it back. Go.”
I thanked Paul for that and left. [M]
Get in the carriage and hurry home. While I was in the carriage, I was restless because I wanted to get to work immediately.
For some reason, I feel that the carriage is moving slower than usual.
It doesn’t make sense to be in a hurry right now. I tell myself that, and I look out the window.
I saw a beautiful blooming flower garden. In the sun the glowing flower looked golden. The gentle breeze swayed the flowers all at once.
Alicia, you look beautiful.
After I said that, I realized it.
It’s been a while since she left, and I still think that Alicia is next door. Sometimes I feel lonely.
I don’t know my parents. [M] But it was Alicia and I who gave me the same warmth as my family. Without these two, I may never be able to get back on my feet again. [M]
Since you’re twelve years old, you might have to grow up more. But I don’t lie to my heart. I behave modestly, but somewhere in my heart I think I miss myself forever.
I never get a letter from Alicia. I know I’m definitely alive, but I haven’t heard from anyone, so my chest feels uneasy.
“I wish I had a device that could communicate with anyone anywhere in the world…” I hope that’s ridiculous.
Looking at Alicia’s eye-colored flowers, she muttered to herself that no one would ever hear of her.
“Hey, Alicia, what kind of scenery are you looking at now?”
