The Villain Daughter Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride in a Former Enemy Country

"Lord Theodore!

"... hey sister-in-law"

It was Theodore, Arnold's brother, who captured Riesch.

Has she just returned from official business? Wearing a cloak for going out, he looks at Richie and bends his lips.

The reason for his nauseous expression is clear, even if he didn't ask me anything.

"Did they find out? About men's clothing."

"Sorry!!

Theodore walked away from Riesch and looked down with his arms tied together.

Still, the Knights of the Guard whispered to me. Riesch can only apologize for such a Theodore.

"I'm really sorry, but I really appreciate your cooperation...."

"I can't help but find out, and it was complicated even if you tricked my brother. How do you react to that? You can't have fun on your own!

"Okay, what do you mean you enjoy...?

"So, why did my brother visit the candidate? I've never done that before. I didn't really feel like it when I got that information when I was on official business in the Glades."

"His Highness Theodore. That's the thing....."

'Arnold came to see how Theodore's nominees were doing,' he says.

After hearing the story, Theodore quietly leaned over his face with both hands after a few seconds of silence.

"Lord Theodore?

"... no. I can't digest that story, so I'll leave it without thinking about it... I want you to tell me how your brother reacted, not now, but at a later date....."

(Ok, that sounds terrible....)

After all these years, it seems like I can't swallow everything right away. Looking at Theodore's almost squatting back, Riesch asks.

"Still, you went out to the ghetto, right? Has the information that Lord Arnold requested for the visit arrived so quickly?

"My subordinate is excellent. When something happens to my brother, I lay down a perfect network of information so that even if I were under the castle, I would know right away."

Theodore took it very seriously. As a prince, I have only poured my strength into my brother.

His term "subordinate" here should not refer to a knight who serves the royal family. You must be talking about the people in the favelas and the goons who are grateful to Theodore.

"It's not just about my brother. Even the trainee's information is fully investigated. You can also monitor whether or not you feel comfortable staying in the castle, or if you don't remember any strange play."

"I see. As the Crown Prince, you are watching over the eggs of a knight."

Well, there's that, too.

Theodore said with a very unconscionable face when Rieschett slapped her neck.

"... send my stepsister in. If there's a strange mix of people in the group and something happens to your sister-in-law, you won't feel sorry for your brother."

"Lord Theodore....."

Apparently, he was also working for Riesch.

"Thank you very much. I'm sorry to trouble you."

"I'm not worried about you. All of this is for your brother."

"Fufu, I see.... and now, Your Highness Theodore."

Unexpectedly, her cheeks loosened, but Riesch turned the smile off and looked up at him.

"Can I borrow some of your excellent 'subordinates' for a while?"

Theodore rounded his eyes at Riesch's wish.

"I want you to direct me, not through His Highness Theodore. I want to ask you a simple job, and I promise you it's not dangerous."

"... let me hear just one thing. Does that lead to something useful for your brother?

"No, rather the opposite."

Rieschett spoke out loudly.

To rebel against His Highness Arnold.

……

Theodore answers without worrying for just a few seconds.

Fine.

He immediately raised the edge of his mouth and smiled like a prank.

"I'll give you a ride because it looks interesting."

Well then, let's negotiate.

Thus the stepsister and brother gently made a close relationship.

After breaking up with Theodore, Riesch hurried to write a few letters.

After entrusting it to the maid, she eats dinner by herself and then works in the field. After checking on the maids' work, she took a bath and returned to her room.

After drying your hair, let the maid rest and be alone.

He lowered his hips to a chair with only one leg placed in the room and sighed. It's Michelle who thinks it's natural.

─ Thank you, Doctor

In the life of the alchemist, Riesch was taken to the northern end of the kingdom of Coyol.

"I can't believe you see such a fine aurora."

I think the trigger was nothing.

In one continent of Coyol, Aurora can be observed. But Riesch never saw it in any life.

Just the right conditions overlapped. That looks good on a suddenly cold night after a warm day. But if we don't hurry, it'll rain in a few hours. "

Walking in the snow, Michelle took out the vitreous bottle.

The cork stoppered bottle contains Michelle's special medicine. Normally colorless and transparent, it produces snowy white crystals only when the weather collapses.

Not accurate enough to report to the royal family, but very helpful to the extent that Riesch and the others use it on a daily basis. Michelle was right, it seemed better to hurry home.

So, Riesch. Was it a clue to the stuffed research?

"Yes, very much!

That's good.

Michelle laughs as she shakes her lantern.

Richie is wearing a fur coat, but Michelle is still cold. The necklace was wrapped around many times, making it difficult to move.

"I'm sorry, Doctor. You took the trouble to get away for me."

"Why are you apologizing? Because you're my teacher."

She exhales a white breath and Michelle wrinkles her neck.

"I'll show you everything you want to see. If there's anything you don't know, I'll use all the knowledge I have.... of course, if you want to get there on your own, I won't bother you."

Michelle often says that to Riesch.

The people around me were surprised to see it. "Michelle Evan only thinks about research. I don't care about others' was Michelle's assessment.

But in fact, it is different.

Why are you so eye-catching?

"Why?

"If you don't want to teach, you should be able to immerse yourself in your research. And why is that?

Hmm, that's right.

Walking along the snow-breaked path, Michelle put her hand on her chin.

I wonder if that's the only good thing I could do in my life.

"... sir?

The murmuring voice echoed as if it had been sucked into the surrounding snow.

Well, you don't have to think about that. I learned a lot, absorbed a lot, and grew bigger and bigger. "

"... Sensei. I'm not physically going to grow any more."

"Is that it? Are you that old already?... well, if you say so, it's a mess."

He looked back at Richie and laughed really gently.

─ What kind of scholar will you be? I'm looking forward to it. "

I think that word means a lot to Michelle.

Richie, who was a teacher, wasn't the only one who was very kind. He looked at Kyle and liked the people who lived in Coyol.

It is not hostile to others. I do not wish for an 'experiment' with gunpowder due to ill feelings or cruelty.

That's why it's hard to hit.

What the teacher wants to do is experiment with whether gunpowder can change the world.

Rieschett meditates slowly.

(― ― What happens if I tell the teacher everything?

Beyond my head is such an option.

(If I tell you that I have repeated my life so many times that I know the future. Why don't you tell him, "Lord Arnold is going to start a war, so don't give me the gunpowder."

Michelle told his experimental allies he didn't want the King of Atrocities.

('Passing gunpowder to His Highness Arnold brings about a catastrophic future.' If you tell me like that, the teacher...)

But Michelle doesn't like the reputation people tell her.

Make sure you see it with your own eyes, demonstrate it, and judge it. That way, contact with Arnold would still be inevitable.

There is another option that comes to mind in Riesch.

If I leave this country and go with Dr. Michelle, I will not contact His Highness Arnold.

And he smiled, "I'm sorry."

……

When thoughts go around, they go through your head.

I took a deep breath and slowly opened my eyes.

I feel uncomfortable on the other side of the balcony without closing the curtains.

(... light?

When I raised my face, a very small grain of light slipped across the outside.

When she realized who she was, Riesch hurried up from her chair and walked out onto the balcony in her nightdress.

And then I accidentally leaked my voice.

"... wow"

There are a lot of fluorescents flying around.

It's like a shard of stars coming down here and dancing and playing. Riesch looks up at it and brightens her eyes.

Some of these creatures have become familiar with life.

Thanks to that, I quickly understood the type by looking at the characteristics of the way of light.

(Reto fireflies. How beautiful...)

It is a fluorescent species that inhabits land and can fly quite high. It is a relatively common species on this continent, but when you see it in this way, it is still stinging and beautiful.

(It would be a waste to see it alone. The maids are taking a bath, and that person....)

Riesch glimpses at the adjacent balcony.

It was then.

There is a crackling sound of the door opening.

I wonder if the Lord of the neighborhood that just came to mind will come out of the room onto the balcony.

And we looked at each other.

"Hi... good evening"

"... ahh"

I remember what happened during the day and feel awkward. Arnold has a cool face.

Arnold, who had a sword in his hand, immediately turned away from Riesch and looked at the light flying around him.

"What is this?"

"Fluorescent."

"Fluorescence..."

Arnold spins it like he chews words he's not familiar with.

After thinking for a while about his expression, he basically said:

"If you wish to exterminate, I order you to do so."

"Eh!? Why!?"

"Fluorescence means insects."

……

Richie was dismayed by the too emotional remarks.

Before that, whether this creature emits beautiful light or not, extermination is absolutely impossible.

"We need insect repellent, but don't kill insects without darkness! Because any creature, including humans, is in a big circle. If you kill too many of them, it affects everything in the circulation."

Riesch persuades Arnold to rush to the handrail.

The adjacent room and the balcony in this room are not connected, and Arnold is a little far away, even if he stood right next to the handrail.

"Besides, this is a human convenience, but look at it."

Fluffy and a fluorescent line of light were shown with her fingers, and Rieschett laughed at Arnold.

"You know, it's beautiful."

……

After a while of silence, Arnold takes a small breath and leaks.

"- I see."

I'm really glad you understand.

Riesch, who became happy, felt complicated on the other hand.

(It feels strange. I am worried because of His Highness Arnold)

With that in mind, he stood on the balcony of each room and looked at the fluorescence for a while.

The light passing in front of Riesch walked straight ahead, dancing and playing near Arnold.

"Why aren't you flying all the way to Lord Arnold?

With a little resentment, Arnold smiled slightly ill.

"Then you can come to my room."

I was convinced that that was what he said.

"That's right. It's about a meter and a half away."

……

Riesch chops off the hem of the nightdress.

He put his hand on the balcony railing, raised his knee a little, and stood still on the railing.

"Hey, no way...."

Arnold is about to say something, but you should hear it after the transfer.

I think so, Riesch flew softly.

It's nothing for Riesch to fly over the handrail.

Once they landed on the handrail on the other side, they were supposed to fly again and jump off to the balcony with Arnold.

Even Arnold knows Riesch can jump off the second floor. Although this is the room on the fourth floor, we can assume that there is no problem.

That's supposed to happen.

Hiya

Riescher shouted unexpectedly.

The moment I jumped onto the balcony, I was held by Arnold as if I were protecting Leachet.
