 I have never seen a guard speak so kindly to a criminal in a cage. You could have been harder on him. That's what a bad girl does. ...... Duke went a little out of his way.

 If the guards walk around cursing me, everyone in town must think I've done something wrong. Then I could have been the bad girl that the whole country would have recognized!

 Why did I long to be a bad girl ......? Such a question suddenly crossed my mind. Did I want to be the bad girl that everyone cursed me for? Oh, I can't think straight in the heat.

 I suddenly overheard a conversation between a parent and child. The mother's words were muffled by the little girl's question.

 Now! Guards! Curse me! But that's not going to happen because of Master Duke before he lost his memory. Besides, if I said that line out loud, I'd sound like a masochist.

 The little girl's mother looks panicked at the girl's words and pulls her arm to take her away. Still, the girl's eyes sparkle as she stares at me.

 ......Myrijokteki? You mean the daughters in jail are attractive ......? Oh, yes, I've been longing for that part of the villainess. A strong, scary, beautiful, yet somehow lonely and lonely, a strong core, dignified and charming villainess. That's what I've wanted to be since I was a little girl. I don't know why I was lost for a second. Must be the heat.

 That girl said I was attractive, didn't she? Does that mean that even in a cage, you still fascinate people? I've finally reached that level of badassery. It's a wonderful accomplishment.

 I said this and straightened my back. A bad girl has to stand tall at all times! I was exhausted from the heat, but now I was the center of attention, you know? I can't be seen as weak." I want to be known as the "bad girl who has never been seen in a weak state.

 With this in mind, I never changed my posture or my facial expression, no matter how thirsty or how hot I was, until I reached the castle.
