I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History-Chapter 406

“A Villainess, huh… What’s your wish?”

Kushana looked at me seriously.

“Before we start, please tell me why you need magical powers. Also, how long do you need it for?”

I wouldn’t want it to be a ten-year contract or something like that. I would like to hear the details first.

Of course, even if it was an unreasonable request, I would definitely do something about it because it would be so frustrating to say no…. Besides, I also have Duke-sama now. I have nothing to be afraid of.

“I can’t tell you now. But I swear I won’t ask you to do anything impossible.”

I could not ask Kushana anything further.

If she said she was unable to tell me yet, she wouldn’t tell me now, no matter how hard I pressed her for the details.

“Okay,” she murmured in a small voice, then added, “I want you to teach me all the martial arts you have mastered.”

At that moment, the atmosphere changed a little. The people’s eyes became sharp, and their expressions were covered with hostility and disgust.

I was used to being looked at like this, how many years did you think I had been a Villainess in Duelkis Kingdom? This kind of look couldn’t bother me at all.

It was my goal now to steal all their secret techniques.

They could hate me as they pleased. I couldn’t care less being blamed. I would not care if the people of this forest treated me like a thief and cursed me.

I wanted a power strong enough to protect those close to me, no matter how powerful an enemy might appear. For that, I would use whatever I could use, no matter what anyone thought of me.

Kushana’s smile turned into amusement, and she looked at me with interest.

“Would you venture into the enemy’s camp and make a statement that would further antagonize them…. You were a young lady, weren’t you? Where the heck did you get the guts to do that?”

“The strong-willed are strong. It doesn’t matter if my motives are impure, as long as I have a firm resolve, I can go anywhere.”

I was exiled, and now I was adventuring in the company of the prince of this country, so to speak. I did have a lot of persuasiveness.

“You’re a lot like me. …It’s pretty hard, you know? To master all the martial arts I have mastered.”

Having watched her moves when I fought with Kushana, I knew how difficult it would be.

But I couldn’t turn back here.

“I’m ready for this.”

I said firmly, and Kushana turned her gaze toward Sheena. Sheena slowly shook her head, as if they were able to have a conversation just by looking at each other’s eyes.

“This way please.”

I followed Sheena as she started walking away. Kushana was speaking with some of her followers who were nearby and did not come with us.

I wondered where Duke-sama and the others were, Victor, Leon, and Rai…. I didn’t think I had to worry too much about them since they were invincible.

“Your friends are fine. They are being trained elsewhere.”

Oh my, when did they become students? Did that mean that they already started training? I was late in starting, wasn’t I?!

I mean, Sheena, how did you know what I was thinking? Am I that easy to read?

I should practice hiding my facial expressions more.

“Speaking of which, what’s this place called?”

“It has no name. We are the inhabitants of the forest, and Kushana is the Queen of the forest.”

“I see… Sheena can talk to animals too?”

“No, I don’t have that special ability. Only the Queen.”

I understood how special Kushana was.

Being special was good, but sometimes it made people suffer.

I was educated as a daughter of one of the Five Great Noble Families, so I was always responsible for my special status. But Liz-san was different.

Suddenly, she was called a “saint” from a mere commoner, and everyone had high expectations for her.

She always had a pure and innocent smile on her face, but she may have been suffering mentally at times. …Still, she was a heroine, so her Capture Targets protected her.

Did that mean that my brothers were like tranquilizers?

As I was thinking about this in a daze, Sheena suddenly stopped in front of me.
