Somehow, The Villainess Who Regressed in Time Lost Her Magic Power, so She Turned into a Secluded Maiden

31

“Welcome, Your Highness.”

“Oh, I’m relieved you look well.”

His Royal Highness appeared with Cyril and his escorts shortly after my reign was over.

His Royal Highness, whom I will see for a long time, looks tired somewhere.

Is it my fault that my usual smile feels somewhere?

“What happened this time? So suddenly.”

“… I have a quick errand ahead of me in Donacian territory. Just passing through here, I was supposed to stay overnight in Marcel territory. Sorry for the rush.”

“Well, you did. Never mind. I’m glad to see your face.”

In His Highness’s position, it would also be a matter of having to go away quickly if anything were to happen in the country.

Speaking of Donacian territory, it is famous that the lord has recently enjoyed a good feather.

Do you do an investigation or have you grabbed something?

However, given that we are traveling in small numbers so quickly, I guess we are moving in secrecy.

Nevertheless.

Your Highness really stopped by on purpose while you were busy.

My body feels clean, but when I look closely, my clothes are quite dull. You’ve been in a pretty hurry, or you must have been riding a horse for a long time.

Your face is also seeping tired.

I also feel sorry that you came all the way out here in my tiredness.

But I still have His Highness in front of me.

I still feel my mind float over that fact.

“Where to stay? Let’s get you a room if you like.”

“Don’t worry about it. The inn is arranged by Cyril.”

“Was I? Okay, have dinner with us.”

“Oh, let me do that.”

I’m relieved that His Highness, like he was tense somewhere, finally loosened his expression and smiled at me.

Yeah, you still want to take a breath.

I need to get my room ready so I can rest for a little while until dinner.

Oh, and I have to tell her about my mother.

“My mother should have greeted me, but I was out in the neighborhood today. I’m sorry.”

“No, because this is the one who came suddenly. I’m sorry about this one. Still, you look a lot better.”

“Thank you. We’ve been seeing each other for a long time, so we have a lot to talk about.”

“Oh, well, let me tell you about Rachel at dinner,”

His Highness adds His Highness’s hand to my cheek like he said he was afraid.

Looking up naturally, my face appears in His Highness’s eyes.

“I missed you, Rachel.”

Yes, the small, whining voice sounds very sweet and gentle.

My heart made a loud noise with dokun on the words.

Dinner would sit on the edge and edge of the long table, if normal, but in His Highness’s hope I sat right on the diagonal side of His Highness.

The distance is just close, and the content of the strange talk also gives a familiar atmosphere somewhere.

His Royal Highness nodded intriguingly at the state of my city and the story of the market, and sometimes exchanged questions for a soothing dinner party.

But His Royal Highness sometimes leans over to explore something.

What do you want to hear?

After a little silence, His Highness opens his mouth with a rugged face as he stares at the table.

“A cleric appeared to have left this mansion earlier…”

“Oh! I was. You didn’t have an important story.”

“Important story…”

Yes, I did. The letter says he’s attending a church orphanage, but he didn’t give details.

It reminds me of the kids, and I’m filled with laughter.

For some reason, Your Highness looks stunned by my expression.

“Is it true what Theodore was saying?

“Master Theodore? Did you say anything?

“that you… met…”

Have we met?

What did Lady Theodore say?

But when I said we’d meet… the market, right? You mean Meena?

That’s all we got, isn’t it?

“Are you talking about in the market? Yeah, it happens. I’m glad you got along with it, and I think it turned out really well.”

His Highness lowered her brow with a look on my words as if she had been hurt.

“Good… is that what this is about?”

“Yeah, as a result, I’m having a full time with the kids in the orphanage. I don’t teach kids to read or write, I don’t make a big deal of it right now.”

“He… what kind of priest is that to you?”

“The cleric showed us the way. You pushed my back without the courage to step out.”

“You think I’m important to you?

Someone important?

Well, I’m pretty sure I couldn’t see exactly what I wanted to do without the clergyman.

But someone important?

From now on, His Highness hears a bad tooth cut.

I wonder what you want to ask me.

“Indeed, the clergyman is for me…”

“Fine! Enough…”

I am blocked by His Highness’s loud voice when I call him “The Most Influential Man”.

I open my eyes unexpectedly as I was surprised by that voice, but I guess His Highness himself was surprised by his own voice.

I put my hand on my mouth and I can’t believe it, I just have a stunned look on my face.

“So, Your Highness?

“I’m sorry. You surprised me.

… but I can’t hear any more about that man from you. ”

“Huh?”

The man? The clergyman?

“Um, Your Highness? Misunderstood…”

“For you, I found out he was an important person. But now he’s my fiancée.”

“Yeah, sure.”

Why are we suddenly talking about an engagement?

Wait, I don’t know how this works at all.

Is Your Highness upset about something?

“Please, will you look at me?

Certainly I was just a fool, embedded in the frame of noble woman, without even trying to get to know you. ”

“Fools, etc. … I’ve never thought of His Highness that way. Even I only saw His Highness on the upper side. Besides, he wasn’t even trying to put civilians or those with little magic in his sight.

If it’s stupid…… it’s me. ”

“But you’ve changed.

I also know I don’t deserve you. And I can’t give you what you want. ”

“No… I don’t deserve it!

His Highness anchors his gaze to the table and his usual confidence speaks weakly as if he had hidden.

But I don’t deserve it, etc.

I am the princess of the king and I do not fit the position.

In making the country he wants, I’m sure I’ll just pull my legs.

“I’m sorry. I asked Roger about Rachel and the church.

You’re stretched out and free and brighter than when you were in the king’s capital. ”

Indeed, I could see His Highness and Roger walking side by side between us until dinner.

I guess it was then.

But right. Was my life here looking fun to Roger as well?

“Indeed… it may be…”

When I was in Wang Capital, I couldn’t help but walk myself. But now you can walk the city’s crowd, the seaside, and the wilderness all by yourself.

The joy of being able to give up what I had given up that I couldn’t do anymore.

I can feel the joy someone needs.

“Yet I still have you in the king’s capital. I hope to sit in a cramped chair called Prince Wang’s Queen.”

“Your Highness…”

I was thrilled with the words.

His Royal Highness still wants me as his fiancé.

My heartbeat feels faster and faster in words I never heard of clarity.

Feelings…… I have to tell you how I feel.

But what?

What am I going to tell His Highness?

With me elsewhere confused, His Highness looks between his brows and meditates on his eyes for a few seconds, he rises from his seat.

And I feel sincerely sorry for “I’m sorry. You’ll be excused today,” he told me.

“If I’m here any more, I could hurt you.

See you tomorrow… before you leave here. ”

Drop me off, and control me to stand up, “I’m fine here,” His Highness reaches out to me. But he stared painfully at his hand along the way and immediately pulled it back into its original place.

“… I understand.”

I also wonder if I could let His Highness go home like this. But I don’t know what to say to me right now.

For this reason, when he conveyed his words of recognition, His Highness left early without looking back with his face bowed.

I was left with nothing but to escort His Highness away.
