Reincarnated Villainess Does Not Want Revenge - Chapter 77
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Love Between a Reincarnated Lady and a Knight
Rosemary says she has observed my growth throughout.
When I recalled my previous life, I saw all the memories of Rosemary.
Recalling her memories, it felt as though I was experiencing the events myself, but at the same time, it was a strange sensation as if I were observing from a third-party perspective.
I’m sure Rosemary has been continuously looking out for me like this for a long time, probably since I was born.
It’s such a heartwarming thing.
And now I’m on the side of watching over Rosemary.
It’s like I’m watching her, standing before Albert, as if she’s speaking for my concerns through pure consciousness.
Because Rosemary knows me better than anyone else.
She was thus giving me the answer I was looking for.
“Lady Rosemary?”
Alberto, who had been gazing at Rosemary directly, now looks at her with a puzzled expression.
“Hehe… Looks like your answer was correct. Marie is happy.”
Rosemary responds happily.
I suddenly felt embarrassed, as if Rosemary could see right through my feelings.
‘Please don’t,’ I silently urged, feeling embarrassed, and I think she refrained from saying anything further because of that.
Alberto seemed like he wanted to hear more, though. But please, don’t say more.
“She’s a sweet girl. She’s faithfully followed my will without complaint, even though she was caught up in the bonds of a previous life.”
“Yes, indeed.”
“I’m glad that I was reborn as Marie.”
I can feel Rosemary’s feelings of gratitude toward me reaching me. Her heartfelt emotions.
I didn’t expect to be thought of like that.
Rosemary, who holds memories of who I used to be. A reflection of my own past self. The fact that she’s here in this moment, showing herself, is a miracle in itself.
I don’t know how such a miracle happened, but…
… I’m grateful for that miracle.
“Alberto, allow me to make one last request. I’m sorry for always imposing my wishes on you. But please, it’s something I can only ask of you, who have sworn loyalty to me.”
Gradually, I began to sense my consciousness returning to my body. Rosemary’s consciousness was fading.
I can feel the way she squeezes Alberto’s hand as if for the last time.
“I’m asking you to take care of Marie and Reynaldo. And please, find your own happiness too.”
“… As you wish, Master.”
The chestnut-colored eyes, seen up close, harbored a resolute intention as they received Rosemary’s wish.
And Rosemary smiled in satisfaction.
?
My consciousness returned to my body.
“……”
“….. Marie?”
Alberto, who seems to have sensed from my stunned expression that Rosemary’s consciousness has faded, calls out to me.
But I just couldn’t respond.
?
Why? Because I’m embarrassed.
I couldn’t bear to meet Alberto’s gaze after such an honest confession.
As Rosemary had said, I was happy with his words. Really happy.
Since I had begun to believe that Alberto’s affection was directed towards Rosemary, I had been plagued by persistent worries. But now, I had finally put all those concerns to rest.
With sincere words, he conveyed his commitment to the one he ought to be loyal to and the person he wished to protect.
?
I feel sorry and somewhat embarrassed for causing him to utter those words, and though I’m happy, I can’t express it openly.
?
I opened my mouth and tried to say something, but Alberto laughed when he saw that I couldn’t get any words out.
He brought his handsome face closer to my clumsy, fumbling lips and kissed me.
I don’t even think about resisting the fleeting gesture.
Our lips parted, and after a pause, I was finally able to speak.
“What… are you doing?!”
“Eh… Was that not okay…?”
With Alberto seeming calmer than his usual self, he had taken the initiative, and I was following his lead.
Of course, I couldn’t claim it was no good.
Because I like it.
“… If you’re going to do it, at least say it properly.”
I was well aware that I might be saying something strange, but…
I had a feeling that I wouldn’t be able to reply appropriately, no matter what I said.
Hearing my reply, Alberto laughs again.
“Then, let’s try again… Is it okay? Marie?”
His hand, accustomed to the sword, gently touched my cheek.
His seductive face, now so close that it nearly touched my nose, stared into my eyes. My heart flutters as if his gaze is looking into the depths of my soul.
I mentioned it myself, but maybe I wouldn’t have been as anxious if he had done it without asking for permission. Granting permission might have seemed even more improper.
Still, my answer is already decided.
“….. Go ahead.”
My response was met with an immediate and passionate kiss, and I was held in a tight embrace.
I closed my eyes as if overwhelmed by the joy brimming from deep within.
While I was intoxicated by the first kiss I had with the person I had been yearning for, I whispered a single word to the slumbering Rosemary within my heart, ‘Thank you.’
By doing so, surely,
Deep within me, while she’s sleeping…
I thought she would be smiling with joy.
