"I'm Neil from the Johnson family."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Duke answered simply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... who?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess he's a nobleman, but I don't know who he is. I've never heard of the Johnsons.

"Who's Neil, ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia is also looking at Duke with a twinkle in her eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia doesn't know either.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was relieved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm ashamed of my ignorance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's the Johnsons with the earth magic."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Henri said so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia still didn't seem to understand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's the guy who was Liz's follower at the tea party, the one who told ...... Ari that he was you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Henri said, a little taken aback.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's when I finally figured out who it was.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ah, that idiot. ....... One of Cather Liz's followers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're telling me that you're trying to get rid of me because I'm an eyesore to you, aren't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia said in a happy, cheerful tone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Alicia is also some kind of idiot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's written on my face that I've become a bad girl to the point where someone is trying to erase me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think Alicia is ...... a fool to think that way after all the danger she's been through.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ali, don't be happy about it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Henri sighed a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought there was more to this conspiracy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Duke and I locked eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Our eyes met for the first time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could tell by his eyes alone that he was a smart man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm Jill."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The words leaked out of my mouth involuntarily.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For the first time in my life, I said my name.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All three of them looked at me in surprise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Duke's eyes no longer held the intent to kill.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I am Duke."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Duke laughed lightly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He has such a beautiful face that even a man like me can't help but admire it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Jill has a quick mind, doesn't she?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're my assistant, remember?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia said proudly at Duke's words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was so excited.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia is proud of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't believe how happy that made me. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had never known this feeling before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It warmed my heart so much that I felt tears welling up in my eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A few years ago, I wished all aristocrats would disappear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But now I want them to live. Alicia, Henri, and Duke too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's weird.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said exactly what I was thinking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　All three of them looked at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But I don't think being a saint is going to save the world ...... or even bring peace to this country in the first place."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia's eyes widen when I say that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Henri and Duke seemed to agree with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Cather Liz and all of Cather Liz's cronies are really stupid."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said coldly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though Alicia didn't care, I was still quite angry at Cather and the others for trying to kill Alicia.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're casually humiliating my brothers, aren't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sort of."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia's expression relaxed when I said that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I guess love is scary after all."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia said with a laugh. For some reason, she seemed happy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I couldn't believe that she had such a cute expression on her face, but she had been so crazy earlier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I asked her something that had been bothering me for a long time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"How did you manage to stab me once in the heart?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia froze at my sudden question and thought for a while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Henri and Duke were also surprised by my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I guess they did not think that Alicia had killed her by stabbing her in the heart with a single shot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia seemed to be struggling in her mind whether to say something or not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then she let out a small sigh and opened her mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Actually, it was a fluke. I had read about the location of the heart and how the body works, but I didn't think I could really do it in one shot. I'm glad ...... it stung."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was speechless at Alicia's unexpected answer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia is a strange woman after all. I've never seen a daughter like her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Henri and Duke were also looking at Alicia with surprise, or rather dismay.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Shouldn't we get out of the hut soon?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia said as she looked outside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, I forgot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Cather Liz and the others were outside.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Right."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Duke then snapped his fingers lightly and lost the wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I just realized that there is a magic that allows you to snap your fingers and a magic that doesn't require you to snap your fingers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia always snapped her fingers, so I thought that was the way it was supposed to be, but when Henri and Duke did the healing spell earlier, they didn't snap their fingers. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm not a magic person, so I'm not sure about that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, shall we go?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Henri and Alicia's voices overlapped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia found herself being lifted up by Duke with one hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Put me down, please."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You're injured."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can walk on my own.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't get violent. You'll fall."　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Alicia's face is red and she's fighting back. Even her ears are red.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is the first time I've seen Alicia's embarrassed face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Today is a day to see Alicia's many faces.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Duke looked happy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I could tell from his expression that he was really worried about Alicia.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't be too rough, Jill."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Henri lifted me up, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?　I can walk on my own."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't care if it's coming from someone with a broken leg."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Henri laughed wickedly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Henri is well-trained, so it's not like I could do anything about it even if I tried to resist.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, my leg was completely healed before I knew it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Magic is amazing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have learned once again the power of magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"My leg is healed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He's here, but he needs to rest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Before I could finish, Henri said in a teasing tone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I could tell by the look on his face that he was worried about me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I decided to remain silent and follow Henri's lead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't ...... feel bad about being worried.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We finally left the hut.
