Chapter 63: 63
I stop in front of the door to Father’s room . Somehow… . I have a bad feeling about this .
After knocking lightly on the door, I enter .
……I can’t even be surprised by this sort of development anymore .
As always, I sweep into a deep curtsy in greetings to the king .
“It’s been a while, Alicia . ”
“Yes, Your Majesty . It’s been three years . ”
“You’ve become even more mature in that span of time,” he says, smiling lightly .
Rather, I feel like it would be a problem if I hadn’t matured at all over three years’ time… . . which I suppose describes the Alicia from the game rather well .
And this time too, the five heads of the great noble houses have all gathered here together . What business could they have with me this time I wonder?

Each time this has happened, I tried to imagine the reason, but every time they end up saying things that are way beyond my expectations . So, I might as well give up on trying to think about it . This time, I won’t be surprised no matter what they tell me!
“Alicia, this might sound like an unusual question, but do you have any desire to attend the magic academy starting this year?” Johan-Sama asks me .
Huh?
I… . have to take back what I just said . I ended up being extremely surprised after all .
While I said I wasn’t going to bother thinking about the reason, I still assumed that they brought me here to ask about my current magic level or something similar… . . but as it turns out, I was dead wrong .
And in short, doesn’t this mean I’ll be able to see Liz-san two years faster than I was expecting? If I can enroll early, then obviously I’d want to go!
“Yes . I’d like that . Please allow me to attend starting from this year . ”
“I see . ”
Hearing my answer, Father looks rather uncomfortable .
Although, now that I think of it, no one looks entirely pleased right now . Everyone’s expressions have become a bit complicated .

Should I have tried to act a bit more humbly after all? Should I have questioned whether it would be okay for me to attend at only 13?
But, a villainess really has no use for such forced modesty . Since they’re giving me this amazing opportunity, of course I’d accept it .
“Alicia, what level of magic have you currently acquired?”
Ah . There it is . The question that I had been waiting for .
A huge grin stretches across my face . As a villainess, I absolutely cannot miss this chance to brag about myself .
“Level 80 . ”
… . . You can act a little more awed over my amazing achievement, you know? I won’t mind .
At the very least, would you please refrain from looking at me like this answer was even more troubling than my last one? This reaction is not what I was expecting at all .
I suppose such looks do convey a feeling of surprise, but I was looking for something a bit… . more . Praise me! Commend me for my efforts… . . Something!
I thought that at least Father would look happy for me, but what’s with his expression right now?

“80……” Neville-Sama whispers feebly .
You should say that more confidently . I was hoping you’d all be shocked and amazed .
“That’s the same level as the saintess . ”
…… . The saintess? Who?
In otome games, doesn’t the saintess usually turn out to be the heroine? Which means… . could they be referring to Liz-san?
I’m at the same level as Liz-san!?
Yes! I did it! With this I leveled the playing field!
I’m inwardly ecstatic, but as much as I can, I make sure to manage my expression, trying not to let any of my true feelings leak out .
“Alicia, won’t you listen to a request of ours?”
“A request?”

Father glares at Johan-Sama . I wonder what made him angry?
“Of course, you may feel free to decline after hearing it . That will be completely fine . ”
“Okay . I understand . ”
Though, I feel like I’ll be exiled or executed if I actually decline a direct request from the council of the five main noble families… .
“We would like you to monitor Liz Cather for us,” the king tells me .
Um, I don’t understand . His words aren’t making sense in my mind . What does he mean by that?
T/N: Our poor little cinnamon roll just wanted to boast a bit… . Come on, guys!! Show a little more of a reaction XD
Also, I want to know more about this prophecy that makes them think that Liz is the saintess . I know she can use all the types of magic, but Alicia is five years younger than her but is at the same level… . yet they don’t even suspect that she might be the true saintess?
