I, a Simple Villager, was Reincarnated as an Infamous Tyrant Prince from 300 Years Ago!

Chapter 40

Finally, Robin was gone!

“phew………..”

After handing over Robin to Queen Alicia, I returned to my room and exhaled deeply.

I didn’t think the queen herself would suddenly show up but, I did manage to get her in my debt so, it was a decent result in the end……….wait.

“La-Lady Lizbeth……?”

“Prince Rudolf, you forced yourself a bit too much.”

Lizbeth suddenly hugged my head.

But what does she mean by [forced myself]………?

“You have me……..this Lizbeth by your side as well. You are not alone. You are not alone at all……..”

“ah…………”

I see……..my exchange with Queen Alicia seemed to have caused her worry……..

The more I come to know her, the less the title of “Lady of Ice” seems to apply to her.

Because the real her, was simply unbelievably warm like this.

“ahaha……….I’m fine. I didn’t force myself or anything, and of course, I’m not feeling sad either.”

Unfortunately, due to recalling the memories of my previous life, my personality seems to have been dragged closer towards my previous life as well.

Thanks to that……..well, that might be a weird way to put it but, when it comes to my mother……….to Beatrice, I really don’t feel anything special at all.

Of course, I still have all my memories from when I was simply Rudolf Fürst Baldyk, before I regained my previous life’s memories, and all the emotions that I was burdened with are still in me as well.

But………..in the end, the only thing that I held dear to me was the memories from that day and nothing else.

If I didn’t……….if I continued hoping for something that was utterly impossible, all that awaited me was despair and nothing else.

I think, it was because of this despair that I became the tyrant that was written about in the [War Records of Wilhelm].

“Just like you said, I have you with me. Lady Lizbeth, you are by my side. As long as you are here, I will never truly feel sad.”

Saying that, I showed her a wide smile.

To make sure Lizbeth understands that [she didn’t need to worry about me].

“Seriously……….you are so……..”

“Thank you, so much……..”

Seeing her shed tears in my place, all I could do was gently stroke her back until she stopped crying.

“………Well, that was certainly quite the disaster it seems”

While blocking the full strength strike I had launched at him, Marquis Fahlcrantz muttered with a calm and composed look.

No, seriously, I have been working really hard over the last half year and while it’s not like I expect to actually get a real hit at the Marquis anytime soon, seeing this utterly gigantic gap between our skills, I couldn’t help but feel a little dejected.

“!! Yes! However, Queen Alicia accepted all my wishes, and has already sent brother Robin to the academy dorms it seems……..”

After avoiding the Marquis’ sharp horizontal slash with a back step, I quickly regained my footing.

But, until now, I had been nothing more than a scarecrow that got hit over and over, so I could tell I was definitely making some kind of progress……..Oops!!

Anyway, this all happened only this morning, but seeing the crying and whining Robin get treated like luggage and getting thrown into a carriage and sent away by afternoon, even I was a little shocked.

But with this, he’ll finally stop loitering around Lizbeth, and she can finally enjoy her life in the castle in peace which made me happy.

“hmm………I feel like you were a little to naive though.”

“!? a, ahaha………”

He drove his sword at me a little bit stronger than usual, I could only leak a bitter laugh.

It would seem, the marquis was not satisfied with my actions.

“Then, let us stop here for today.”

“Eh? Already?”

The training ended an hour earlier than usual, and I ended up saying that in surprise.

No, I am happy for it though.

“Indeed. I’ll have Lizbeth handle the rest of your training but more importantly, I need to first talk about what comes next.”

“uh, sure……..”

I believe he’s talking about what our next actions should be.

After all, without even confirming with the Marquis, I ended up making such a deal with Queen Alicia after all.

uu……….the Marquis is definitely angry isn’t he……..

“fufu, good work for today. Let us train more together later okay?”

“Lizbeth………thank you.”

Wiping my sweat with the handkerchief that Lizbeth brought, I thanked her.

This too was a privilege of being her fiancé…….well, perhaps not.

She, only does this all, because it’s me.

“……..Hurry up, and come with me.”

“Uh, Yes!”

“mou………”

The Marquis shot a glare at me as he urged me to move on, meanwhile Lizbeth pouted at him.

Stuck between these two, it was certainly hard to endure, even if this had become a regular occurrence.

But I can’t have my father in law be in bad mood either so, I took Lizbeth’s hand and quickly followed after the Marquis.
