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

A word your father releases repeats in his head.

"... oh, my God? I know you say El is from a neighboring country, but is it true that the prince of a neighboring country...

"Oh, definitely. I was doing a lot of research when I found Elle. So I found Elle to be the second prince of the neighbouring country, the Land of Aarstel. But I also reported to His Majesty and King Earstell that Elle had no voice in spiritual shock and that he could be returned to the dark auction. He wants me to protect him here until he catches the mastermind.

"... well... Elle did. So now that they've caught the mastermind, Elle's going back to the country?

I asked your father as he hugged Elle, who was next door, not wanting Elle to leave me the whole time.

"Oh, the King and his brothers are waiting for Elle to return, too. Wouldn't it be pathetic to let El go of his family?

"... yes.

"Three days from now, Elle will leave for the neighbouring country, so get ready.... what about there, Rose. Do you want to come with me to send Elle with you?

I had a father who looked a little mean.

"Go!!!

The three days spent with Elle were very short and the day of departure quickly arrived.

"Elle, stay well. Elle, you can't call me you anymore... I'm gonna miss you so much.

That's what she said. Mother hugged Elle's body and kissed her cheek. Elle was letting her face bow down like it was a little lit, but she was telling her mother 'thank you'.

"All right, let's go!

Father, I, Elle, Allen and a few escorts set out for the Land of Aarstel.

I went all the way across the break, but I got to the Land of Aarstel sooner than I thought.

(Huh, it's too soon. I wanted to spend more time with Elle, but I couldn't stay at all. I don't want to break up. But I don't want to leave my family alone, so I have to be patient. But I miss you.)

"Okay, you're here. You're tired of a long journey you're not used to, right? I have entered the Land of Aarstel, but I have not yet arrived at the capital of the King at heart, so I will take the Inn here today.

Until earlier, I didn't really care because I missed Elle, but when I got out of the carriage, I noticed that my body was very dall.

(You are tired of your body and spirit because you were not in this world, of course, for a long journey in a carriage. Maybe I want to sleep in bed soon.)

"Is the room good for me, Rose, Allen and Elle?

"Huh! No! I'm good with Elle. I was always with Elle when I went to bed.

Yes, I've been sleeping in my room with Elle all night since she came to my room saying she had a scary dream.

"Nah!? Ro, Rose, is that true!?

"Huh!?

Your father and Allen gave me momentum and asked me if it was true that they were sleeping together.

"Ugh, yeah. 'Cause, Elle, the first time I came here, it was like I had a scary dream, and you came to me with a crying face. So from then on, we were always together when we went to bed.

"Hey... Oh, Elle, did you know what that meant?

Kokukoku

"... a convicted criminal...

I didn't know what your father meant when he asked Elle. Hatenamark was flying in my head.
