Hah?

Victor looked dubious at my words.

So what are you going to do for me? You will do something reasonable for me now that I have told you my secret, right?

Who the hell do you think I am?

You are the prince of Ravaal Kingdom. So, theres nothing you cant do, right?

I was always the one who was pushed around, but now I finally have the opportunity to stir things up.

Seeing the princes stunned state, Grandfather held back his laughter.

How dare you talk to His Highness like that!

Vice Captain Neil interjected, looking a little flustered.

It is true that we have all sworn allegiance to Prince Victor, but isnt it the Prince who would be troubled by my absence?

I looked at Victor as if testing him. No soldier would have this attitude.

But I do hold some value. Ive trained myself so that I can be proud of being Alicia Williams. I deserve some freedom to be able to express myself.

Suddenly, Victor started laughing out loud.

Its super rare for a prince to laugh like this, isnt it?

When the prince is with Ria, I see many expressions on his face.

I could hear Captain Marius and Ceres whispering.

Really, father picked up something extraordinary.

Victor was trying to suppress a laugh with tears in his eyes.

Is he complimenting me or mocking me I was sure it was the latter, since there was no way Victor would compliment me.

Yes, I need you now. How can I let go of someone so useful? The only people who could take that attitude with me would be that trio of old men or this kid.

Oi

My voice and the old mens voices overlapped beautifully. It was Victor who needed to correct his language.

So, what exactly do you want, young lady?

Books, was what I was about to say, but I stopped.

There were people who would teach me. So, I dont have to choose books maybe a sword?

But the prince was the one I was negotiating with. I need something more profitable right!

Id like to form a squad that I can lead.

What?

Victor raised his eyebrows as high as he could in response to my answer.

You mean, you want my position?

Im not aiming for Captain Marius position.

Thats supposed to be a good thing, but why does that sound rude?

Ceres muttered beside him. Victor grimaced and opened his mouth to speak.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

No, you cant. Now that theres no chance of you siding with my brother, Im uncertain if Im willing to make it that easy for you.

That was true. But I couldnt break down here, either.

I produced the best smile I could muster. I had studied and practiced the villainess smile all this time. I wouldnt be disturbed by anything they say.

Even if I dont form a squad, Victor-sama will be at a great disadvantage if I switch sides to the first prince. To begin with, I do not belong to any side

What?

I belonged to the king.

You said earlier that you were loyal to me.

I did say that. But what I really meant was that I hadnt sworn allegiance to you.

Victor remained frozen and said nothing back.

Not only Grandfather, but also Kate and Mark, struggled to hold back their laughter. They had their hands on their mouths, but their shoulders were shaking.

Prince, Ive got you!
