I exhaled slowly and closed the book.
I knew I was almost done, but I couldn't finish the book...
There was too much to sort through in my head. My foggy mind replayed Julie-sama's words and expressions.
"Hey, Duke, Alicia is not responding..."
"...What the heck did you see?"
"Should I smack her to make her come to her senses?"
"No...that will be fine...it's Alicia... I think she's thinking something... but..."
"She's not cursed by this book, is she? ...I don't believe that's the case, since it was written by Gramps, but..."
I didn't feel that much hatred for Uncle Will from Julie-sama...
This was an unexpected turn of events. I was surely expecting Julie-sama to hate Uncle Will from the bottom of her heart.
But if she really had hated him, she wouldn't have come to see his face... She wouldn't have come to see him when she knew he was going to die...
Was this the only moment Uncle Will met Julie-sama?
"Ah~! I don't know! I don't know!!!"
I let out a loud voice while holding my head.
I could hear Duke-sama and Gilles startled by the volume of my voice, and Gilles speaks in surprise.
"Hey, what?! Why so suddenly?"
"I need to see Julie-sama in person."
"Julie... the King's mother."
"Did she write anything about my grandmother?"
"Yes."
Duke-sama's face clouded.
It was difficult to get this kind of look from a grandson. I would have thought a Royal prince would have been doted upon by his grandmother.
"Is it possible to meet her?"
"I will try to make arrangements, but I don't know how it will turn out. Even I have only met her a few times. And we've barely spoken. I've never seen my father talk to my grandmother that much as well..."
"Maybe the king hates Julie-sama for the way she treated Uncle Will..."
Wouldn't it be difficult to be so isolated in that royal palace?
I mean, that rat carcass incident at the school... I heard from someone that Julie-sama was involved in that as well...
Aa~~! I'm really getting tired of this!
Even though I've come all the way back to Duelkis Kingdom, I didn't have even a little bit of time to take a rest.
...Well, I guess that was a good thing.
A villainess always had to be chased by something! And then it was important to show some composure.
I let out a "giggle" and Gilles worriedly stared at me.
"Oh my goodness, Duke, Alicia has finally snapped!"
"Really? I think this is still normal for her, you know."
"...I guess so. It's the usual."
Did he mention something bad about me?
