After I put Rebecca in bed, I circled around and looked at Jill.

"Why are you doing this? It's disgusting.

"You're disgusting. Excuse me."

"So, what's up?

"Jill, you, you can go to the magic school. As my assistant."

Jill looks at me as it solidifies.

Are you happy?

I wouldn't know if you didn't do something about it.

"Here..., from, out..., ru?

That's what I'm saying.

I can see my eyes are moist.

"Now I've kept my word. How do you live after that..."

Jill jumped into my chest before I finished talking.

I'm shaking my shoulders clinging to my hips.

I'm surprised. I wonder what to do at a time like this.

You've never been in a situation like this before, so you don't know how to handle it.

I glanced at Grandpa Will.

Grandpa Will nodded slowly at me.

It's not bad to be hugged like this by someone.

I gently hugged Jill back.

I loved my little trembling body.

Sometimes bad girls can have these feelings, right?

Did Jill get tired of crying or fell asleep just like that?

I can see my eyes are swollen.

You cried quite a bit.

I looked at Uncle Will after I stroked Jill's head.

That's the real deal from here, isn't it?

"Does Grandpa Will still feel like going back to the royal palace?

Grandpa Will's face suddenly got steep on my question.

I may have reminded you of something unpleasant, but I wanted Uncle Will to go back to the royal palace if I could.

And I wanted that wisdom to be used for this country.

I don't want someone as intelligent as Grandpa Will to die like this in this village.

I would definitely send Grandpa Will back to the royal palace.

I'm fully aware that I overestimate myself.

Still, I want Grandpa Will back in the royal palace.

"Now......, I don't think anymore"

"Huh?"

"When Alicia told Rebecca to be her savior, I wanted to see how poor villages change with these eyes. Well, I don't have eyes."

That's what Grandpa Will said and laughed with his eyes shattered.

My words and actions made me feel like I wanted to go back to Grandpa Will's royal palace.

What should we do? It's my fault.

"Alicia, don't blame yourself"

Also, Grandpa Will read my mind.

I really don't know how you always know.

"Alicia, how happy do you think that feeling makes me that you're going to act for me? As long as Alicia has that feeling for me, I'm going to live tomorrow in such a poor village again."

"No, I'm not. I don't have such beautiful feelings. It's for your own good. The reason I want Grandpa Will back in the royal palace is because I want to use that wisdom."

I don't give hope to anybody.

Something that isn't within the role of such a bad girl.

"Then why did I blame myself for staying here?

Uncle Will tells me not to give me a gap.

"I've heard so much about my wisdom here and now, why don't you make it your own and Alicia will say it in the royal palace?

"I would never want to be such a cowardly imitator!

I accidentally raised my voice.

"If you do that, you'll end up like me."

Grandpa Will stroked my head gently, as usual.

My heart keeps calming down.

Alicia, I'm here.

I didn't see Grandpa Will's face, but only the words clearly remained in my ear.

I've had a lot of rough feelings today… not yet as a bad girl.

"I'm sorry you pushed my ego"

That said I bowed my head deeply.

A bad girl would never do this. I know a hundred things about that.

But Grandpa Will is my only understanding. I don't want to lose it.

It's already Red Dot Day as a bad girl. But that's just for today.

That's the last time I'll bow my head.

I put the bottle your father gave me on Jill's lips and poured the thin pink liquid inside into Jill's mouth.

It's pathetic to wake you up asleep.

Make sure Jill drank it all, and I lifted Jill.

When Jill wakes up, she's going to absolutely hate it, but a princess hug is the safest thing you can do.

I took the macaroon I brought for Jill out of my pocket and gave it to Grandpa Will.

"Now eat with Rebecca."

"Thanks."

That's what Grandpa Will said. He pointed a warm smile at me.

"I think it's okay because everyone's asleep right now, but just wear this just in case."

That's what he told me. He put a cloak on me.

I bowed gently to Uncle Will and left the house.

The moment I got out, the poor villagers were sleeping on the ground.

Are you sleeping in front of the house? If I were you, I'd take turns waking up and watching...

I tried not to wake them up and ran over to the fog holding Jill.
