I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History

Chapter 470

470

After leaving the old library, Gilles and I went looking for Curtis-sama.

The plan was to contact him directly and see how he was doing.

We should ask Curtis-sama what his impression was about love, leaving aside whether we could casually ask him about Mel.

Even if Mel and Curtis-sama didn’t become lovers, I would bet that Mel would want to be the cutest girl possible for Curtis-sama.

I think girls should be like that. When you fall in love, you want to be as “cute” for that person as you could possibly be.

I doubt if Mel would ever have the idea in her mind to be what he likes.

“I’m still surprised that Mel fell in love with Curtis-sama, though.”

“…I wonder.”

“Oh, you found out?”

“Well, I mean, I somewhat discovered it, you know?”

I had so many questions like “when, where, why?” There were so many questions I wanted to ask him, but I should not underestimate Gilles’s ability to observe.

His ability to “Sense” things was probably better than anyone else’s.

“…Ah!”

I thought of something better than asking him directly.

While I was thinking about Gilles’ observational skills, I forgot that there was someone who had good information about the aristocrats’ relationships with each other.

“What’s wrong?”

I suddenly shouted, and Gilles looked at me suspiciously.

“Let’s go to town!”

“What? Go to the town?”

“We’re going to see Paul-san.”

He must have some information about Curtis-sama.

“…I see, that’s a good idea.”

“Right!?”

“But Alicia, before we exiled you, you were caught at the mansion, and the public saw you on your way to the royal palace. Are you okay with showing yourself all of a sudden?”

“It should be okay, you know?”

I mean, won’t people be thinking that I am still a Villainess?

That means it would simply bring me closer to the person I want to be. What do I have to worry about?

“Not only at the academy, but people in the town have been hostile to you, and I think that’s pretty hard to deal with.”

“Oh my!”

I blurted out.

“Hey, I’m serious.”

“Yeah, I know. Thank you.”

I gave Gilles a pat on the head.

I had no idea that he was so worried about me.

“I’m the one who was exiled to Ravaal Kingdom and made it back alive, remember?”

Gilles stiffened a little at my words and muttered, “That will definitely be how they see Alicia.”

The people in the town were shouting at me at that time of my exile, but I only thought of them as a bunch of little insects squeaking.

“I was thinking…”

“What?”

“It’s only Alicia, right? The only one who goes out to various places without an escort or an attendant.”

“Please don’t tell me that you were thinking of me as a tomboy. I’m not a tomboy.”

“Young Ladies tend to be targeted, and so does a Villainess, and yet Alicia has been on her own all this time. I can now understand what Arnold is going through.”

“Well, the first place I went to by myself was the impoverished village. The town would be heaven if compared to that place, right.”

“Of course.”

Gilles nodded deeply at my words.
