Reincarnated Villainess Does Not Want Revenge - Chapter 81.1
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
The Return of the Reincarnated Lady
As the nostalgic scenery began to appear, I couldn’t stay still and leaned my face out of the carriage window and looked outside. The poorly maintained carriage road. A mountain range that I often looked at.
“Marie. It’s dangerous.”
“I’m sorry. Huph…”
Alberto laughed as he witnessed my childlike excitement, and I was suddenly embarrassed by my own actions. Still, as we approached my hometown, which I hadn’t visited in a long time, I became increasingly restless.
An ordinary rural town in the middle of nowhere, lacking any notable local goods or tourist spots. A few residents plow the fields and raise cattle and pigs. They harvest wool for weaving. It was a village that loved self-sufficiency.
Some, like my brother, yearn for the capital and leave the town, but many still return after getting married. The only thing that Edigma can be proud of is that it is more comfortable than any other territory in terms of ease of living, as it reflects the lord’s personality.
“Lively, isn’t it?”
As we enter the village’s entrance, children are looking curiously at the rare sight of a carriage. Then, upon confirming my presence inside, they cheer happily. I waved and nodded in response to Alberto’s words.
“Perhaps being energetic is Edigma’s merit.”
“That’s a positive characteristic.”
Alberto laughed, and I found myself smiling along.
Even though it was his first time visiting a rural town, Alberto didn’t seem to be bothered by it; on the contrary, he peered around the town with excitement.
“There’s absolutely nothing interesting in this town.”
“Just the fact that it’s the town where you were born and raised makes it interesting enough for me.”
“You’re being too generous.”
“It’s the truth.”
Amidst his chuckles, Alberto wore an exceptionally peaceful expression.
Alberto was currently dressed in attire befitting a noble rather than his usual knight’s attire. It’s rare to see him like this, and once you set eyes on him, he really is a sight to behold.
He’s usually dressed only in his knight’s uniform; so, it’s rare to see him in his own clothes, and he’s even more dressed up than usual because he is making a marriage proposal. This makes him even more attractive, and just looking at him makes my heart race.
Having given advance notice, my father, Tobias, was already waiting in front of our modest family residence.
As soon as the carriage stopped, I immediately jumped out and hugged my father.
“Welcome home, Marie.”
“I’m home!”
Although my father had come to see me in the capital just the other day, meeting him in our hometown had a different feel to it. Being hugged by him here made me realize that I had genuinely returned.
“Is Stanley not here with you?”
“There’s no way my brother will come back.”
My older brother Stanley, who preferred city life to rural living, is thoroughly savoring his time in the capital and never returns for anything other than his responsibilities as a lord. Yes, even if his sister wants to take her fiancé to meet the family.
“So, that….”
I look down in embarrassment while glancing at the carriage. Alberto stepped down and, in front of my father, bowed his head.
“My name is Alberto McClain. I apologize for the short notice.”
Father, looking at Alberto, smiled gently and held out his hand to him.
“Thank you for making the long trip. I’m Tobias Edigma.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for having me.”
I laughed at their somewhat nervous faces. It’s a joyous moment for me.
I had already informed my father through a letter that I had a prospective engagement partner and revealed their identity. And he immediately sent back a letter full of blessings.
Of course, I didn’t think there would be any objections, but seeing the two of them finally face to face with each other made me smile happily. I’ve been smiling the whole time we’re here.
“Now, Marie, can I get you to brew some delicious tea after such a long time?”
I was brought back to reality by Father’s words, hastily agreed and entered the familiar mansion.
