176 Fifteen years old, Alicia, the eldest daughter of the Williams family

Alicia PoV:

I don’t want Emma to like me. If I have any more friends, I’ll lose all my dignity as a villainess.

I’ve got to get her back on Liz’s side somehow. Oh, I’ve so much more work to do.

I want to get to Ravaal Kingdom as soon as possible, and I don’t have time to waste on Emma.

“Ali-chan, what’s wrong, why the difficult look on your face?”

I envy you, Curtis-sama, you always look so carefree.

“Nothing, really. But where’s Duke-sama?”

“Oh? I didn’t know Ali-chan would finally start looking for the Duke! This big brother is glad.”

“I’m uncertain if I actually understand what you mean…”

“You’re right, Ali-chan wouldn’t understand.”

“Well, Duke’s the only one who’s been looking out for Alicia so far.”

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have said those things to the Duke.”

Gilles said to me as if to stop me.

…I can’t believe he said that much. I mean, Duke-sama is supposed to be in love with the heroine.

I didn’t expect him to fall in love with me, the villainess… No, excuses are not appropriate. It was my fault for not being able to understand him. I wanted to be a villainess, but not to the point of being an abominable person.

Though I’m curious. I don’t know where I went wrong, and I also don’t remember doing anything to make Duke-sama fall for me.

…I wonder what it feels like to be in love. I wonder if falling in love and liking someone are the same thing.

I wonder if there is a book about love. Someone should write one.

“Ali-chan, what are you thinking?”

“It’s hard for her to hear us when she’s like this.”

“It must be very difficult for her because she’s wrinkling her brow in thought.”

“No, I don’t think so.”

“How do you know?”

“Basically, Alicia never had a difficult expression on her face. Even when she’s faced with a difficult problem. The only time she makes this expression is when she’s thinking about romantic relationships.”

“Romantic relationship…?”

“Ah, *pout* I just don’t get it!”

I cried out, my voice unintentionally shouted out what’s in my heart.

Gilles, Curtis-sama and Finn-sama looked at me with slightly surprised expressions.

“What’s wrong?”

Curtis-sama asked me with his widened eyes.

At this point, I guess I’ll just have to ask Curtis-sama. There was no such thing as a manual book about love.

It seems I’ll have to rely on Curtis-sama, a man in love. I wonder if Curtis-sama has ever been truly in love in the first place. Isn’t it mostly a game? No, it’s not good to judge the book by its cover.

“…. Have you ever really fallen in love with someone, Curtis-sama?”

“No, I haven’t.”

Before I could even finish my question, Curtis-sama replied softly in a calm tone.

I couldn’t feel any anger, but, for some reason, I could feel sorrow.

I guess it’s better not to engage in this too deeply. Well, everyone has their own circumstances, right?

I remember completing the Curtis-sama route, but… Did I come across any complications?

“From my point of view, I envy both Duke-sama and Ali-chan.”

“What?”

“If there’s one thing I can tell you… Love is not a theory.”

Curtis-sama spoke in a soft tone as he stared into my eyes.

“That’s a cliché, isn’t it?”

Gilles’ sharp words made Curtis-sama’s face twitch a little.

“Don’t ruin the atmosphere instantly.”

“I’m sorry, Curtis, he just wanted to look good.”

Finn-sama shot Curtis-sama a look of pity.

“You never believed me.”

Curtis-sama said, glaring lightly at Finn-sama.

Rather than the topic about love, I’m more interested in what Curtis-sama had just said about being jealous of me and Duke-sama. I wonder what he’s jealous of.

“What do you envy about Alicia and Duke?”

Gilles asked in a slightly more serious tone.

Oh, aren’t they too good at reading what’s on my mind?

I thought to myself as I turned my gaze towards Curtis-sama.

Righteous Flower of Evil:

Mwahaha! I still get to give my two cents~ And my two cents is: Alicia, do you really think a womanizer is the best person to ask for love advice!? *facepalm* I’m excited to hear more about Curtis’s backstory though!
