Reincarnated Villainess Does Not Want Revenge - Chapter 72

Translated by: ShinigamiTori

The Reincarnated Lady’s Memory Loss

Since Reynaldo said he was going to test Alberto, I wondered what on earth he was going to do.

From what I’d heard, I thought it might not be such a big deal, but it turns out that was a big mistake on my part.

“So, that’s the situation, can you go along with the story?”

“I understand! The entire Knights’ Corps is so grateful to have Duke Rose’s direct support for the Commander’s love life!”

As I watched Eva-sama and the squad leader express their gratitude to Reynaldo with such enthusiasm, I realized that I had been naive in my thinking.

‘I never thought Reynaldo would mobilize all the knights to deceive him…..’

The plan that Reynaldo came up with was that I would ‘lose’ my memory.

While working in the Knights’ Corps, I accidentally got injured due to a moment of inattention, and the knights rushed to inform Alberto about the situation.

I was just in time to be in the next room with Reynaldo, but it was at this point that I lost a certain memory.

That’s right. I’ll act as if I’ve lost all my memories as Rosemary.

In order to keep the knights in the dark about this story, we’re going with the idea that I’ve lost specific memories related to Alberto.

It appears I’ll have to forget the memory of Alberto confessing as part of the plan.

I couldn’t help but wonder at what point in this story we would test Alberto.

“If Alberto really sees my sister in you, it would mean that the person he loves is suddenly gone, wouldn’t it?”

Indeed, that’s a valid point.

I instantly became anxious when I heard that story. Even though I was the one who agreed to cooperate.

If it turns out that Alberto loses interest in me, who only holds Marie’s memories…

That’s an incredibly painful reality, but I must accept it.

Still, I shouldn’t respond to Alberto’s feelings until I’ve sorted out the issues that trouble me.

At times, I thought it might be fine for him to see Rosemary before looking at me.

But I couldn’t help but fear that it might eventually break me.

If I feel that Alberto, who I’m growing to like more and more, is looking at Rosemary without seeing me, I worry I may start loathing even my past self.

?

If that was the case, I thought it would be best to suppress the budding emotions before it comes to that.

Because it’s not too late now. Just like plucking a young leaf that has just sprouted, all I have to do is lock away the budding affection I have for Alberto within me.

As I lowered my head after hearing the plan, a cold but gently cupped my cheeks.

It was Reynaldo’s hand.

“If Alberto fails to give the response Marie wants, then forget about him completely and come to me. After my sister, I love Marie the most.”

Reynaldo says this with a playful smile.

Easing my tense heart, I laughed and replied with a jest, “Sure, I’ll keep that in mind.”

I was so relieved and relaxed that there was no way I could have known what Reynaldo was thinking at that moment.

I was completely unaware that Eva-sama, who had been listening in from behind, had a shocked expression as if he’d seen a monster and murmured, “Commander, this is bad…'”

<Side Story>

“That… Duke Rose…..”

Eva, determined to uncover the true meaning of the words he didn’t want to believe, approached Reynaldo and spoke to him.

“What’s the matter, Assistant Commander?”

Reynaldo maintained an elegant smile. A nobleman who is younger and has a more beautiful face than the Commander. If he becomes serious, will he have a chance of winning against the Commander, whom Eva and the other knights members respect?

“What you just mentioned…..”

“Ah.”

Eva was relieved to see Reynaldo chuckling, thinking it was just a joke after all.

“Please, do be sure not to go and tattle to your Commander, okay?”

The knights, including Eva, froze in front of the cold smile that earned him the moniker “The Icy Duke.”

All they could do was pray for the Commander’s good fortune.
