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

…Too fast! Even with Two humans riding on it! 

It was definitely faster than riding on a single horse by myself.

This horse could be a world champion. I couldn’t believe they prepared such a wonderful horse for us…

I couldn’t hide my amazement at the speed of the horse Kushana had prepared for us.

I wanted to return to Duelkis as soon as possible, so the faster the better, but I was worried if the horse could keep this speed for a long time.

Duke-sama must have been thinking the same thing as I was, because he muttered, “This is amazing,” as he gripped the horse’s coat to keep me from falling off.

Falling at this speed would surely kill me. But being in Duke-sama’s arms felt like it would kill my heart, too.

I desperately tried to keep my composure as I looked back at Ravaal Kingdom, which was moving further and further away from me.

Looking back, it was a strange time.

I had spent quite a lot of time in Ravaal, but it felt like a fleeting event.

Was this how it felt like to study abroad for a long period of time?  

I could not imagine what life would be like after being deported. I thought I would have to endure unimaginably harsh conditions, but that was not the case.

I would like to praise myself a little for having made it this far while dressed as a man and wearing a blindfold.

I could have died in the wild in Ravaal. It was rather strange that I survived this long.

It was a very fulfilling and enjoyable time. I never thought I would meet my Grandfather.

Victor, Vian, Leon, Rio, Rai, Kushana, and the captains! 

There were so many wonderful encounters, and for that I thank them from the bottom of my heart.

Without them, I could not have grown up. I didn’t know how much I had grown, and I was not sure if I have.

“It’s an interesting country.”

My smile naturally loosened up.

The country of Duelkis was also very stimulating, but the stimulation of Ravaal was something new.

I could forget that I was the daughter of one of the five noble families. I could spend my time as an ordinary person. This might not happen again in the future.

“You’re going to go back, right?”

“Yes.”

I nodded at Duke-sama’s words.

The next time I come back, it would be a different way than the last time I was here.

I couldn’t get myself deported twice, you know. I didn’t want to be thrown into the arena again.

Maybe the only moment of freedom I had was that moment in Ravaal…

I would never forget that time when I forgot about my status and lived freely and unrestrained. Well, of course I would like to be free in the future, as well! 

 But not as Ria, but as Alicia Williams.
