Given That I've Become a Villainess, I'd Like to Live Freely

That was just a statement.

I was wondering if they didn't like me because I'm being spoken by a rival, but apparently not when I receive Master Linoa's words as they are.

"I came here to talk to Lady Roselia, and I liked her. I also like His Highness Eric and Master Sophia. Oh, but His Highness William doesn't like it, I don't know what you're thinking, and other than Master Sophia and Master Roselia, it's cold.

It was another unexpected statement.

(I understand Master Sophia, Your Highness Eric. What a surprise ~. Besides, Master Will said it was cold except for me and Master Sophia... is it?)

"I'm glad I'm here. Something... broadened your horizons or something?... when I was in my own country, all I could see was Raus and the rest was my family. So I think I got involved and broadened my horizons by coming here and talking to Lady Roselia and Lady Sophia.

"... it's very good to broaden your horizons. But, uh, isn't that different from Lord Routh?

"Um, is it something else? I don't know... but I thought if I were Roselia, I'd be able to keep my favorite raus.

She rubbed her slightly red eyes and smiled at me until earlier.

"... Master Linoa."

I didn't know what to say to her and all I could do was call her by name.

"Rosé...?... Linoa?"

A little farther away, Elle called our names.

"Raus is here to pick you up! Hey, Master Roselia, can you give me a minute? Just a little. Then I'll give it back to Roselia.

"Uh, yeah.... then I'll be here a little longer.

"Yeah, I'm sorry.

When she said that, Master Linoa ran toward the voice of Elle.
