 Even the townspeople hate me. ...... I guess I can call myself a bad girl now! No, no, I get carried away too easily. I'm trying to be the baddest girl in the world. Not just in this country. We're fighting the world. We have to do better.

 Master Duke does not seem to have mentioned that he has lost his memory. Of course, a prince's amnesia is a top secret.

 I took one look at Master Duke. He was staring at me with a straight face. No emotion on his face. A poker face? Is that the normal Duke? In front of me, his facial expression was always changing.

 The townspeople were shouting abuse at me as if they were about to strike me if they did not have this fence between them and me. I had no idea they held such a grudge. But I do feel like I'm being manipulated a little ....... I wonder if the person who erased Duke's memory is involved.

 I wonder if they're all her followers. I'm not patriotic either, and I wouldn't mind being deported. I mean, I want to be deported. I feel like if I get deported, I'll finally be a full-fledged bad girl.
