I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History

“What is this?”

Uncle Will wrinkled his brow and stared at the magic circle.

I came up with this magic circle while I was cooped up in my cabin for two years. I never thought the day would come when I would use it.

I never thought I would ever use it. I hadn’t thought of it. I’ll just name it now.

“I’ve never seen a magic circle like this before.”

“Isn’t it a beautiful magic circle?”

I smiled as I collapsed.

This extraordinary magic circle allowed one to show one’s happiest and most painful memories to one’s opponent. By doing so, I could see the enemy’s weak points. One troublesome point was that even if I could set up this magic circle anywhere, but to actually activate the ability, the target would need to be close to me.

It was a little awkward for me to use this, but to be cunning, I had to sacrifice my heart as well. I believe that being cunning was meant to be like that.

You had to crawl up, while getting hurt yourself.

“Alicia never ceases to amaze me.”

As soon as Uncle Will said that, my magic circle began to glow. I couldn’t help but squint at the light that was released.

This was my first time using this magic, so I didn’t know how it would turn out. Maybe I was a bit of a gambler myself.

Because if this magic did not work, Alicia Williams would be dead here. …Luck was part of my skill.

I found myself in Uncle Will’s memory.

***

…Is this the royal palace?

I looked around the royal palace, which looked familiar but somehow different.

Uncle Will’s old memories…did that mean his eyes will be gouged out? I didn’t want to see it, but that’s the nature of this magic, you see.

“Mother! ” came a bright boy’s voice from the far end of the hallway. One of the boys came running, his eyes sparkling.

I was transfixed by his pale light blue hair and his clear, marble-like sky-blue eyes. He was much shorter than me and looked very young. About five years old…?

But still, how adorable! Was this really Uncle Will?

He was too cute….

Or rather, this face was too promising. As expected of the Royal Family. His radiance was different from that of ordinary people.

I turned my gaze towards the direction the boy was running. There stood a beautiful and dignified woman.

When she saw Uncle Will, she said, “Will,” and smiled softly. Instantly, I knew she was Uncle Will’s mother.

“Will-sama, please don’t bother Karen-sama.”

Someone walked up behind Uncle Will, looking calm and collected. I was struck dumbfounded by the young, beautiful young man.

That was Grandfather, right?

With his black hair and purple eyes…he was so handsome! As expected of my Grandfather.

I remembered that Grandfather and his friends used to take care of Uncle Will when he was a little boy. …Most people would probably run away from a place where people like the Grandfathers were tutors.

Was Uncle Will running away, by any chance?

“My Queen,” Grandfather bowed his head.

“I told you not to call me Queen.”

Uncle Will’s mother said, with a slight look of disapproval on her face as she hugged Uncle Will, who came running up to her.

“Yes, Karen-sama.”

When the Grandfather reiterated this, she smiled in satisfaction.

…This was Uncle Will’s happy memory?
