Reincarnated Villainess Does Not Want Revenge - Chapter 62.1
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
The Reincarnated Lady Engages in Investigation
Clinging to Alberto’s arms, my trembling body, which had been shaking from fear, started to calm down.
At that moment, the soothing sound of his heartbeat reached my ears, and I couldn’t help but feel the urge to cling to him.
Suddenly, it dawned on me that I’m currently nestled in Alberto’s embrace.
?
I came to my senses and attempted to pull away, but the arms wrapped around my back remained firm, embracing me tightly.
Suddenly feeling embarrassed, I looked up at Alberto, my face flushed red, and my eyes met his.
The chestnut-brown eyes that gazed at me with worry made me feel an overwhelming sense of longing.
For a long time, I had been troubled by the thought that Alberto’s gaze might be fixed on Rosemary, not me.
I had even entertained the notion that he might have expressed his feelings to my past self, not me, causing me to be ambiguously uncertain about his feelings for me.
I was the one who cared about the resemblance to Rosemary more than anyone else.
However, even the bitterness I had been holding in my heart for so long seemed to be over.
The fact that Alberto had come running to me like this,
I was simply overjoyed.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes, I’m okay. Thank you so much. But how did you find me?”
After confirming my safety, Alberto loosens his arms around me and gazes at me.
“I hope you don’t mind, but I peeked into your room and didn’t find you there. Anyway, I’m glad you’re safe.”
The mere fact that he had come searching for me when he couldn’t find me made me so happy that I almost teared up again, but I held back my emotions.
Once he had made sure I was unharmed, Alberto hurriedly approached the fallen man.
The man who had been trying to drag me away had been shot by an arrow, but what had happened to the other man?
I had been so busy running away that I had no idea what had happened to the other man, but it seemed that he had noticed Alberto’s presence and ran away.
I considered chasing after him, but Alberto seemed to grasp my intentions and simply reassured me, “It’s alright,” as he lifted the man in front of us.
He seems to be barely conscious, only letting out faint groans of pain.
“There he is! Commander!”
Eva-sama’s voice could be heard coming from near the castle gate.
He came running to Alberto along with several knights.
“We’ve captured a man trying to flee from the royal palace.”
“Well done.”
The man from earlier has apparently been caught by the knights.
“I’ve locked him up in the knights’ dungeon. Also, Miss Riela has been taken to the guest room.”
As soon as Riela’s name came up, I looked toward Alberto.
He already knew that Riela was involved in this matter.
After handing the man over to Eva-sama, Alberto wrapped his arm around the back of my knees, and suddenly, he lifted me up in his arms and started walking.
“We’ll be on our way.”
“A-Alberto-sama!”
My voice was so hoarse that I couldn’t speak properly as he was carrying me and heading off at a brisk pace. Shortly after being taken aback by the sudden embrace, Alberto headed toward the knights’ quarters.
“I can walk, so please put me down.”
“Didn’t you notice that your leg is injured?”
Upon being told, I glanced down at my feet peeking out from under my skirt. Setting aside any concerns about how improper it might appear, I could indeed see several cuts.
Thinking back, I realized I had gotten the cuts when I broke the window and made my way outside. I guess I didn’t feel the pain because it all happened too fast.
“It’s not just the legs. Your arms, too.”
He said a little angrily as he looked down at me from up close. Taking a closer look at my arms, I realized they had several cuts, just like my legs.
“Let’s get you patched up right away.”
“It doesn’t hurt that much, so I’ll do it later.”
It was more important to figure out what was going on right now. But the chestnut-colored eyes stared at my face again, almost as if they were glaring in anger. A silent pressure.
“Let’s get you patched up right away.”
“…. Yes…”
It seemed better to stay quiet now.
