I Became the Villainess in an Anticlimactic Novel

ntentions proficiently, he would definitely know what I’m thinking.

“Yes.
I really have something to check, so we’re going together.”

That make sense… He’s such a busy kid, where would he even find the time to spare in order to try and capture me like this? To think such a thought would be far too arrogant.

Thinking like that, I was able to let out a breath in relief.

“Then I’ll believe that.”

“It’s because it’s true.”

He reached out and placed his hand slightly against my forehead.

“You seem to have a slight fever too.
Enough, get some sleep.”

“…Okay.”

I turned my body to watch Linden, who had meticulously shut my curtains, leave my room.

‘He said it himself that that wasn’t it, so it probably isn’t.’

Even if that wasn’t the case, I didn’t want to make it any more complicated, since I still felt rather sick due to my motion sickness.

At last, I closed my eyes and went to sleep at the sound of the door closing.

Thanks to the chrysanthemum tea, i was able to quickly fall into a deep sleep.

Unfortunately, the good night’s sleep didn’t last very long.

“Bring the sedan chair from the Grand Duchy.”

Lecht, who had come out of the lodging, said to Tanma.

“Although it’ll definitely make her less motion sick, wouldn’t the real thing still be visible to to her, even if it looks like a carriage to everyone else?”

The ‘sedan chair’ that Lecht referred to was a means of transport which was frequently used in the Demon Realm.
Although it was brought to the human world and made to look like a carriage with illusion magic, it was actually an installation that was made by having two slug spirits the size of a brown bear carrying a sedan chair.

“Then it will only bring me closer to certainty.”

Tanma burst into laughter at Lecht’s words.

“Aren’t you certain about it, even now as well?”

“It’s not just a matter of seeing Kelber properly.”

“Aha, so that person who thought that was the same person as the one who ran around chaotically just to find one chrysanthemum flower, right~?”

“…”

Tanma said with a sly smile.

“His Majesty, at least the one that I know, would never act like that.
How unusual.”

Just like he said, this wasn’t at all like Lecht.

This was Lecht, who treated everyone in this world as if they were air.
He was born noble from the very beginning, and never once thought of others, nor ever had to lower his head at all.

That person then immediately overturned the village upside down, just because he was looking for chrysanthemum tea.

He wouldn’t do that, unless he thought that was her.

“You don’t remember.
They’re completely different in appearance.”

Tanma smiled softly at Lecht’s blunt tone.

“But the way they smile is the same.
…That’s what you’re thinking too, right?”

Lecht’s fingertips twitched at Tanma’s sharp sense.
Tanma, who had been serving him for over 100 years, knew exactly what Lecht was thinking.

“Aren’t both her memories and appearance all exactly to your expectations?”

In Tanma’s eyes, using the facts that he knew as an excuse only seemed to be his way of complaining.

“Are you worried about repeating what happened two years ago?”

“…”

Two years ago, there was a case where a newly appeared saint of the sun god in the empire, insisted on visiting the Arvis Grand Duchy to ‘bless’ it.

The Grand Duchy was a place that was no different from a hotspot that transported those of the demon realm to the mortal one, and was filled with the blessings of the moon god, which was worshiped by the demons.

It was pathetic and troublesome for the saint to give the blessing of the sun god to such a place, but he was persuaded by Tanma, who said that they should get along well, so she entered the Grand Duchy.

However, the woman saw through Kelber correctly.

She said that there were three heads.

Lecht was full of anticipation and placed all of his hopes on her.

However, it turned out that the woman was only a con tractor of a demon, and not the woman he had been waiting for.

“There’s no guarantee that this won’t happen again, even this time.”

Lecht never forgot is disappointment at that time.
The feeling of his spirit being robbed and his small ray of hope that had bloomed being trampled all over.

“Doesn’t Your Majesty know better than anyone else that it’s different from last time?”

At Tanma’s point, Lecht’s fingertips flinched again.

He knew.

Lips that would purse when anxious.
Eyes that would flit around when noticed.
Adoring Kelber so much.
Not eating breakfast and going to find chrysanthemum tea when you were motion sick.

There’s no way he wouldn’t know.

She would be the only one in this world who could say that such an arrogant and self-centered person like himself was kind.

Although a hundred years had passed, there was no way he wouldn’t recognise her, no matter how many bottles of liquor he had poured because of the memories that would become clearer and clearer as time passed.

god if a man could think abt me like that QAQ

 

However, Lecht replied sharply to Tanma’s prompting.

“Enough.”

“Your Majesty.”

“Stop spouting nonsense.
That’s something we’re able to find out once we visit the temple.”

If she was taken to the temple, he would be able to make sure she was the person he was waiting for.

Lecht had already planned to take Meliara to the temple of the moon god, the very moment he heard that her destination was the village of Chiban.
He was willing to make as many excuses as possible just to take her.

So, Lecht was suppressing the emotions that had suddenly surged up until he was certain.

“I’ll call for the sedan chair.”

Tanma was also aware of the fact that Lecht’s determination came from an effort to restrain himself, so the dispute didn’t continue any further.

It was when he was about step forward in order to get his job done.

“Won’t we all die like this?”

He heard two men talking in whispers after a day’s work, looking exhausted.

“Still, won’t it be fine since the fatality rate is less than twenty percent?”

“That’s the case for men like us.
Our parents and wife.
Besides, don’t you have three children? The mortality rate for children is particularly high.”

“Haa.
That’s right.
Apparently it’s transmitted through physical contact only, so it’s been tough trying to keep the wife and children from leaving the house.”

It could sound like a lament of a circumstance that could be found anywhere.

However, the next line caused both Lecht and Tanma’s heads to turn in that direction in unison.

“To think there could be an epidemic in our village, of all places.”

Tanma furrowed his brow slightly and walked over to where they were.

“Excuse me.
Could you tell us more about this?”
