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

433

The sun set quickly.

We galloped on our horses without any particular conversation. We were desperate to get back to Duelkis Kingdom as soon as possible.

“We’re going to cross the border.”

Duke-sama said quietly.

I steeled myself; I would definitely be held back from leaving Ravaal Kingdom on a fast horse.

I didn’t want to take up too much of our time there.

I could see what looked like a checkpoint. I stared at it.

Just one? … or maybe two?

The horse didn’t slow down at all, even though the checkpoint was getting closer and closer. In fact, we seem to be going faster and faster.

Duke-sama, do you know how to stop a horse?

If we keep going like this, we might just pass the checkpoint and set off the alarm… If they chase after us, that would be a hassle.

If it was only two people, it would be no problem to knock them out. If anything goes wrong, leave everything to my skills! But the horse didn’t seem to stop at all.

The moment we called out, “Excuse us,” we passed the checkpoint.

…Eh?

Wait, was it that easy to pass through? Wasn’t the security too weak?

I mean, no matter how fast the horses were, we would have been noticed if we passed right in front of them, wouldn’t we?

“I put him to sleep.”

When did you…

Surely, putting them to sleep with magic was the best idea. I was trying to knock them out by force…

Magic was really useful… When I thought about it, my strength was a cheat, wasn’t it? I could rely on magic in a pinch.

Thinking of this, I looked down the dark, straight road.

…I was back in Duelkis Kingdom.

It was a very strange feeling. I felt nostalgic, but I also felt a sense of something new.

I was sure that there must have been many changes in Duelkis Kingdom, just like I have changed. It was definitely not the same Duelkis as before.

“It has changed a lot since I left, right?”

“Yeah.”

Duke-sama replied shortly to my mutterings.

Duke-sama told me very little about the state of Duelkis Kingdom. The only thing he told me was the condition of Uncle Will.

I guess he thought it would be better for me to see the new Duelkis Kingdom with my own eyes. Seeing was believing.

“But still, I wonder if it was all right for me to come back so easily…”

I did not know what my position was in Duelkis Kingdom.

Would it be all right if I were to return as an exiled Villainess? If so, that would not be good!

I did not want to be welcomed back, but I was afraid that I might increase the number of deportation-level crimes, since an exiled sinner like me could come back so easily.

I mean, the reason for an exile was to deter more crimes….

“I’ve got it covered, so you’ll be fine.”

I wee. I had the strongest ally, Duke-sama.

“…Surely it will feel safer if the prince is with me.”

“Yeah, it’s my job to protect my princess.”

Duke-sama said and kissed my head lightly.

The movement was so smooth that I couldn’t grasp what the heck had happened.

…Oh, isn’t that too sweet?

After a few seconds, I understood what had happened to me. At that moment, my body became hot all at once.

Duke-sama must be more pleased than anyone else that I had returned to Duelkis Kingdom.
