12. First Go! (12)
Ally opened the window and whistled towards the sky—immediately, the calm figure of Takkun could be seen approaching. Amidst the air, he plunged and did a wonderful turn.
“Good morning, Master.”
“Good morning, Takkun. Soon, the nobles will arrive. I can’t let them detect any magic, so I’ll have to disable the magic I applied to prevent crime. Can you keep an eye on the surrounding forest?”
“Of course, Master. If a crisis approaches, I shall hit the window with a pebble once. If other people come, I shall hit it twice.”
“Takkun, you’re super excellent~ alright, I shall leave it to you~!”
Ally joyfully stroked the head of Takkun, who was dexterously flapping his wings to stay flying.
“Alright, Lady Stila. Guests will arrive soon. But, until then, Ally shall tell you a story!”
“Yay! I love Ally’s stories because they’re so funny!”
Ally sat on the sofa and patted her thighs. Stila happily jumped into her lap.
Back then, she always did this with Jean—Ally exhaled at the memory.
“—Once upon a time, there was a daughter of a duke who was praised as the most beautiful woman in the country. When she stood, she resembled peony root. When she sat, a blooming peony. When she walked, a lily flower. At the age of seven, she was chosen to be the fiancée of the crown prince, whose appearance resembled that of an angel, was talented, and gentle-hearted…”
When Ally told Jean of the story, she didn’t change anything. However, for the dreamy, sheltered, Stila, Ally was sure it would be better for her to listen to a story in which the prince and the duke’s daughter lived happily ever after.
Making such a story was easier than Ally thought—
—after all, it was the future that Duchess Alicia had longed for in all her nine lives.
It’s a wishful, impossible, dream—but still a beautiful one.
In all her previous lives, without a fail, Prince Maximilian fell into Saint Mia’s clutches—
—not to mention, in Ally’s current life, their difference in status was just too great.
No, no, no, the difference in status is actually something for me to rejoice! It means having less chance of being involved with him!
She kept reminding herself that the late wishes of Duchess Alicia, who existed no longer, had nothing to do with Baroness Ally. She resumed the story that Stila enjoyed.
Soon, a commotion could be faintly heard from outside the window.
It would be great if she could use detection magic to confirm who it was—
—however, Abel, her reliable ally, was outside. Therefore, Ally could have some peace of mind.
“—thus, the beautiful duke’s daughter and the intelligent, kindhearted, prince married and lived happily ever after—the end!”
The story had decreased in length, but, even though Stila was clapping her hands cutely, Ally could still hear the sound of pebbles hitting the window—
—wait!?
Ally twisted her neck in confusion—
There was a loud sound of something hitting the window at super high speed—then, the window rang three times.
—what was that supposed to mean?!
—three times?!
Ally gently laid Stila’s body aside and rushed to get up.
She didn’t think Takkun would make mistake like that—what was happening?
The next moment, there was the loud voice of someone—
“—Prince Maximilian! This palace isn’t a place for someone as high of a stature as yourself to step into!”
“—we would get rebuked by the Queen, please, turn back at once!”
—Prince Maximilian—?!
All over Ally’s body, goosebumps erupted.
Sweat gushed from her temple.
Stila was staring at Ally’s face, which probably had turned pale all of a sudden, with anxiety.
***T/N:
—after all, it was the future that Duchess Alicia had longed for in all her nine lives.
…TAKE AWAY MY FEELINGS AND MY MONEY!!!!!! BE HAPPY GURL!!!!!!!
Oh, no. I wanted “Farmer of Death with Magic lives happily, makes friends, and wreaks havoc.” I’m about to get “Farmer of Death gives it all up for an asshole boy” aren’t I.
Dessication of his duck shall commence …
Let the ****** fest begins!!!! ?
I dunno, if it were me and I found out, my family and fiance had been bewitched and that’s why I kept dying… I’d be one part despairing, one part resentful, but also one part wistful because I’d realize how things ought to be but never were. In fact, I may long for that ‘what if’ even more strongly. That, as Ally, she set down that burden of longing and learned to be content, I really admire that.
Probably because the longing led to her death 9 times already. If I were in her position, I would’ve given up by the third time…
True. Plus, maybe you’ll be able to break the cycle of dying then reincarnating again and again if you’ll be able to solve this mystery. Not only will you save the love of your life from that thot but also get to finally be with him and die forever after spending 1 happy and meaningful lifetime together. Teehee
I pray to the 05 Council, PLEASE don’t make Ally fall in love with the prince again! He killed her 9 times already and, the last time she even swore never to fall in love again, so please don’t make he go back on her words!
“When Ally told Jean of the story, she didn’t change anything. However, for the dreamy, sheltered, Stila, Ally was sure it would be better for her to listen to a story in which the prince and the duke’s daughter lived happily ever after.”
This made me worry about how Ally is treating her own sickly brother, she ain’t filtering the story for the poor boy but for Stilla she filters it……..damn what’s with this preferential treatment.
And damn it!!!! Why is this Maximillian here????? This piece of shit should just disappear so Abel can become the ML. I NOMINATE ABEL AS THE ML!!!!!!!! NOW LET US BURN THAT PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!!!!! IF HE CAN ABANDON ALLY IN HER PREVIOUS NINE LIVES FOR A THOT THEN WHAT IS THE ASSURANCE THAT THIS PIECE OF SHIT WON’T DO IT IN THIS LIFE!!!!!!!!
Thnx for the chapter!
Plz don’t tell me that she really reaaally still has lingering feelings for that dumb prince even after being beheaded 9 times. sigh
That last reaction of her spell deep trauma and distress rather than anything
We all know that won’t matter much at the end. After all, many novels have tropes in which hate turns into love and all that. If she was apathetic towards it, then maybe I would have only thought about it on a whim but here she directs negative feelings towards the dumprince which means that there’s a certain possibility of them ending up together with her going along the lines of ’why is he here!?’, ‘can’t he just leave’, ‘again?’, ‘he’s different’, ‘this is wrong’, and then comes acceptance and the delusion that he’s not like the previous 9 runs and all that crap and then they get married and live happily ever after blah blah blah blegh
Lets just hope that didnt happen…
If its such a cheap cliche story im sure this story wouldn’t be nominated as first rank in syosetsu this month for a week long~ so keep your faith.
NO……NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!! PLEASE DON’T!!!!!! I WANT ABEL TO BE THE ML. PLEASE LET ABEL BE THE ML!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!! I HOPE IT DOESN’T TURN OUT AS YOU HAD SAID.
GABE STOP DONT BE HYSTERICAL LIKE THIS.
