 I couldn't help but laugh. I mean, I laughed, but only at the corners of my mouth. No classy b*tc* would open her mouth and laugh like that.

 I can get out of a situation like this. It's only the people,...... but it's the people. I still have to make sure I have a chance. I must make it so that I can win, no matter how unfavorable the odds. That's the bad girl. But this time I'm deporting you. I want to go to the Laval at all costs. Go to other countries and get information with your own eyes and ears. If you see your country objectively, you may change your mind.

 The townspeople cursed me loudly for being so rude. They were not afraid to hurl vulgarities at me. You have no manners, you don't belong in this country, go away, you plague, you bastard, put your head on the ground and apologize to Liz,...... Well, I can see why you might want to explode and curse a lot once you get started. It doesn't make sense.

 The Duke glared at me quietly as I smiled at him. Jill watches us in silence. He reads the air better than most people. He looks like he doesn't want me to be deported, but he knows what will happen if he contradicts me here and now, so he keeps his mouth shut.

 I left without saying anything and returned to the guard. The guard grabbed my arm roughly as usual. I was sure they were not the Duke's guards. I would have preferred to be taken away by the Duke's guards who loved me. I stepped toward the door with this thought in my mind.

 I know why they went to such great lengths. He knew I wanted to be deported. They don't deport people unless they've done something terrible. In fact, no one has been deported in the last few decades. The last people who were deported were those good people that the current king's mother did: .......

 I mean, no matter how hard I tried to get him deported, it was impossible. So I decided to involve the people. The first deportation in decades would have to be a very big deal. And the Duke is a prince of this country. He doesn't have the authority to deport you so easily. He knew I wanted to be seen in a bad light. I can't believe he'd pretend to have amnesia. ......,what a scheming bastard.
