I am a Duchess who has Rewound Nine Times, but my Tenth Life Seems to be a Reward Mode Translation

14. First Go! (14)

Maximilian’s intensity distracted her—upon realizing that, Ally panicked and looked away in an instant. Inwardly, she reprimanded herself.

What am I doing!? I am a maid who has sworn loyalty towards Stila! I have to protect her with all my might—no matter how big he looks, or how little I know about his content!

…No, really. At this point, she wasn’t even sure if he was truly Maximilian.

Outside the window, a person who seemed to have been dispatched by the queen was still caught up with Maximilian.

“Y, Your Highness Maximilian, please return to the royal palace at once—!”

“—Silence! Inform my mother, as long as I am here, I won’t let any harm befall Stila ever again—! My plan to improve the treatment of Kelly and Stila—which I have been devising the entire time I was in the mountains—has been crushed! I have never been this angry before—!”

“—Hyiiii-!!!”

From Maximilian’s body, something that Ally couldn’t identify was emanating—he was basically glowing—it was unclear whether the radiance came from his magical power or his heroic fighting spirit.

The queen’s people retreated to their horses—their eyes teary and their noses runny—before long, they had already disappeared.

Wha—!? Not only did his body become brawny, the way he refers to himself also changed from ‘I (boku)’ to ‘I (ore)’—!! Even though until my ninth life, he was still using the former!

As Ally clung to the window and kept on watching, Maximilian also lifted his face—his piercing sharp-eyes went towards her direction.

“What’s wrong, Your Highness?”

“…Nothing. I felt as if someone was watching us—it’s probably just a hawk.”

Albeit Takkun navigated using his own free will, and not Ally’s magic, he was still bound to her due to the ‘Summon’ spell. As such, Ally could ‘feel’ his feelings.

It seemed that Takkun, whom was perched on a tree, was sweating like a waterfall.

Ally, I think it’s better to withdraw at once. I’m sneaking into the dark dimension—the rest is up to you, good luck.” Abel apologetically said so to Ally.

Ally gave a small nod.

Her fear, which stemmed from her past memories—such as her annulled engagement, conviction, and lastly, executed, was blown away because Maximilian gave off a totally different vibe.

However, another fear came to light.

…Huh—!? Me? Facing THAT? Wait, I was too distracted by Maximilian alone, now that I that a close look at his aides—they have changed, too…!

At that point, Ally would soon start shedding tears of blood—thus, she simply turned her gaze away.

The prime minister’s second son, the third son of the knight leader, the only son of a man who had risen from the title of baron to marquis, and the famous son of a viscount, whom was also the prodigy of the aristocratic academy…

…as she thought, they gave off completely different impressions—to say the least. But, they were definitely the men whom had been Maximilian’s entourage in her past nine lives.

Although they should had been a calm and quiet group, now they were but lumps of muscle massed together—

why are ALL of you wearing clothes one size below when EVERYTHING about you seems ready to explode like THAT!?

“Stila, I’m coming for you!”

Maximilian shouted—although it seemed like he could easily destroy the wall using a mere fingertip, Maximilian and his entourage were polite enough to enter through the entrance…

…she swore she could saw the onomatopoeic noises of their trudging floating in the background.


***T/N: 

He starts developing plan for Stila’s wellbeing??? For a moment he’s similar to Ally, there.

why are ALL of you wearing clothes one size below when EVERYTHING about you seems ready to explode like THAT!?

…and there’s five of them, huh. ///hollow gaze///

…she swore she could saw the onomatopoeic noises of their trudging floating in the background.
