I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History - Chapter 491
491
Uncle Will was a very mature person in my mind, and I always thought of him as a person who was very comfortable with his feelings, but when I read this diary, I realized that he had his own struggles in life, which made him feel very human.
[I guess my mother-in-law really wants to make me look bad. What on earth does my mother-in-law want?]
Indeed, I wondered what Julie-sama was seeking.
[Maybe I can’t stay in this country anymore. My mother-in-law has set me up in a trap]
…was this when he was falsely accused of plotting to assassinate the king.
I read the page carefully.
There were many thoughts of Uncle Will that I didn’t know were packed in there.
[Luke was misled by his mother-in-law’s words. I could have disrespected Luke’s feelings. I could not be a good brother to Luke.] It was all about that stuff.
It was all about the King, not about him…
[Don’t let your mother-in-law deceive you…]
It was written so with strong pen pressure. I was sure that she wrote this book knowing that the King would never see it.
[Am I to be executed or exiled?]
That was written at the end of the page.
…After that, the page was blank for a while.
I see, this might have been when Uncle Will had his eyes gouged out, and he was blinded. He was unable to continue writing his diary….
Then why were there pages after this?
I then turned the page to where Uncle Will started writing the diary again.
The writing was slanted, but it was still written well.
[I don’t know if I’m writing correctly; Alberil told me to write, so I started again].
I traced the letters of Uncle Will with my fingertips and read his words.
[Losing sight is as good as being dead. I lost my magic and my position. I am just breathing in the darkness. There is no value in living. What have I done so wrong that I have hit such a low point? What is the point of writing about my feelings like this?]
As I read his writing, which became thicker and thicker in pressure, I just felt my heart tighten.
I wanted to say to Uncle Will at the time, “Thank you for still writing”.
[I should have gone into exile. It might have been easier if I had been executed. Kill me, now that I have no future…]
The words got bigger and bigger on each page. And I felt a strong hatred for this world.
[Alberil told me to live. He said that one day someone might appear who could make me see… How am I supposed to believe in such a miracle? What does Alberil want from me? I can trust him. But I don’t know what he’s thinking.]
It reminded me of the memory of Uncle Will that I noticed when I was training in Kushana’s place….
I slowly turned the page.
[Luke, if you still have any love left for me, please kill me. Please. It’s my last wish.]
