A good man must have a good woman, right?

Rebecca muttered quietly.

It really was true. Good leaders were always followed by good people, not just in love. Thats why I was afraid of becoming a fool in this world.

So, if Liz Cather was a wise person, not only this country but all the countries in the world would have been shaken.

We would use Liz Cathers power to the fullest if we could. In some ways, she was that unique.

We dont have any patriotic feelings at all, so we dont swear allegiance to the country. But, well, Im loyal to that young lady.

The young lady was AliciaI didnt expect Nate to trust Alicia so much.

How did she manage to be so captivating? I was both proud and envious of her success.

It was a natural talent that I lacked. It was not something that could be obtained simply by working hard.

It was the most difficult thing for her, who wanted to be a villainess. Alicia, too, had a difficult time.

So I wont do anything to betray her.

Nate fixed his unclouded gaze on Duke.

I felt a little sad that I was the only one who knew how wonderful she was.

You were loved and trusted by so many people, and I support you in becoming a villainess, but your ideal of a villainess was very different from our definition of a villainess.

I would never say it in front of her, though.

Shes our hero, you know?

I said, my face breaking into a smile.

If Alicia were listening, that would undoubtedly be the number one line that would infuriate her.

Dukes got a hard time too.

I wish she was a little weaker.

Duke chuckled at Gramps muttering.

So, what are we supposed to do?

Dukes face suddenly tenses up at Nates question.

First, promise me you wont start a riot when we get out of this village.

Okay. If anything happens, well stop it.

Of course, some of these people were crazy. It would be extremely dangerous to let them all run wild at once.

Well, if it was the squad led by Nate, it would be easy to suppress them.

Well, Ive already got my eye on some bad guys.

Thats quite a feat.

Heres a list of those people.

Rebecca interrupted Nate and Dukes conversation. She gently handed Duke a piece of paper. I took a look at the paper next to her. There were not that many people on the list.

Thank God.

We must be prepared to enter the outside world. After all, common sense in this village would probably be questionable in the outside world.

Nate was no longer being respectful.

Where do you want us to live?

We have a place in town, but its pretty far from the more prosperous parts of town.

Thank you very much. The more distance, the better.

Youre an outlier dropping in out of the blue, I can see why they wouldnt welcome you.

Nate replied with a self-deprecating smile.

Well, Ill cooperate with you, my prince.

With that, Nate holds out his hand to Duke, who squeezes his hand back tightly.

Oh, by the way, I havent heard your name yet.

Its Nate. Im the captain of the only squad in this village.

I didnt know there was such a thing as a squad.

I made it a while ago. I was planning to leave this village to pick a fight with the country.

Im glad I prevented that. I dont want to make an enemy of you.

Dukes mouth curved around into a grin. Seeing this, Nate muttered a little.

I dont want a monster prince like you as an enemy, either.
