My Fiancee Was the Villainess of This World - My Fiancee Was the Villainess of This World chapter 116

116 – Another Prologue

As the empress of the empire, my mother is a bit serious about her hobbies.

Her mother’s motto was that hobbies enrich life.

That’s why her mother wanted her daughter to have friends who would share the same hobbies as her.

But actually, Lia didn’t like her gardening that much because it got dirt on her dress.

She did not have a daughter who would share her hobby of gardening.

Then, a daughter appeared who could follow her mother’s hobby of gardening.

She is also a daughter in whom the crown prince of the empire is very interested.

In such a situation, her mother called Priscilla to her palace when she was bored.

Normally, any lady would decline when called like this, but Priscilla had no hesitation because of her memories of living with me in the imperial castle for over a year.

Her mother must have liked her boldness, so much so that she called Priscilla the royal castle.

To the extent that Priscilla was naturally added to the topic of mother’s conversation.

“I heard the rumor, brother.”

She was about to return to Biryong Pavilion after finishing the government management meeting.

The Dior guy must have heard Priscilla’s story, so he stopped me with a somewhat mysterious expression.

“I never thought the day would come when my brother would show interest in another woman.”

“What did you think I was…?” .”

When I made a bewildered expression, Dior scratched her face and smiled bitterly.

“Honestly, wasn’t it a bit much, brother?”

I used to treat women like stones.

She probably forgot, but I think it was because Priscilla kept getting older.

“Are you planning on getting engaged?”

“That will happen.”

When I said yes without a second of hesitation, Dior widened his eyes with a surprised expression.

It seemed like a story so surprising that the guy gave up on squinting and widened his eyes.

It would be surprising.

The story progresses steadily as if it was love at first sight.

“This is love at first sight, that destiny…” Is that what it feels like?”

Today, people are asking me strange questions.

Is it time to do that now?

“I feel like I found something I’ve been looking for for a long time.”

I set the mood by saying something quite plausible.

It wasn’t a lie.

In fact, it was the same life as looking for traces of Priscilla every day.

It is difficult to explain Dior’s expression when he heard my answer.

This is a guy who wasn’t that interested in this kind of thing, but the change was so extreme that I thought he was a different person.

“Brother.”

“What is it?”

“Do you have any plans for later?”

In this world, she met Martin from a young age and steadily accumulated her knowledge.

That’s why she didn’t tend to make any urgent schedules.

“Nothing urgent.”

“Then would you please spare a little time?”

It was very rare for this guy to come out like this.

That’s why he decided to follow the guy.

“Would you please keep this a secret between me and you?”

About five minutes after arriving at the reception room, Dior very carefully asked that question.

I responded by slightly nodding my head to what he said, and took the Arbest that the employee gave me in my mouth.

“It may sound strange. But sometimes I have strange dreams.”

“A strange dream?”

“Yes, brother. “I keep getting flashes of a presence I don’t know who it is.”

Dior said that and closed his eyes as if he was lost in thought.

It was as if he was trying to talk about something that didn’t come to mind.

“I don’t remember the details. “It was a strange dream to begin with.”

In this world, Dior and I have never had a big fight.

The main factor was that the mana of the sun remained as a vestigial organ to me, preventing Empress Lynette from going into extreme hysteria.

Other than that, the influence of doing my best to live my life to the point where I was evaluated as a perfect crown prince must have been huge.

However, Dior had uneasy feelings toward me, and he frowned, saying he remembered a big fight.

“I’m sorry. Why did I have this dream? .”

Everything in the world became meaningless, and after wandering around like a lost child, I met someone.

I don’t remember who it was, but thanks to that person, I found my way again.

“That person keeps….”

It shimmers.

Dior said that and drank the cooled tea down like water.

‘Is it the influence of me and Priscilla…? .’

“Since when has it been like that?”

“It’s been a while. “I’ve been feeling that way for about seven years.”

Priscilla and I started feeling a strange sense of discomfort seven years ago.

This can’t be a coincidence.

What should I do?

The answer came quickly.

“It is a world where magic exists. “It might be some phenomenon we haven’t yet been able to explain.”

“Then…” .”

“Don’t forget and keep chasing that vague something. “I will try my best.”

“Yes, brother…” !”

From the beginning, Priscilla and I’s top priority was to search for Cynthia.

Cynthia is like a Trojan horse prepared by foreign media from the beginning.

But the foreign media could no longer intervene in this planet.

So what happened to Cynthia?

Did she stop interfering with this star with foreign media?

Otherwise, is she still alive?

Both the former and the latter were equally uncomfortable situations, so I thought I would try to find him somehow.

But when someone who remembered him appeared, she couldn’t help but become even more convinced that she had to look for him.

If it’s a problem….

“Don’t expect too much. “It’s almost like looking for a needle in a sandy beach.”

“I am just grateful for your effort.”

You can search for her assuming she exists in this world.

However, the continent of Arcradium is as large as the continent of America. Would it be easy to find an orphan on such a continent?

Fortunately, she has the rare feature of white hair, so if you’re lucky, you might be able to find it.

… Of course, this is assuming that the pure white hair is not influenced by foreign media.

“Okay, then can I go?”

“Thank you for your time, brother.”

Fortunately, I know some information that he lived in the northern region and then moved to the southern region.

And I know that this move is a result of her choice.

Let’s start by investigating the territory near the Marquis of Wellston managed by the Prime Minister and the southern outskirts.

Thinking like that, I left Dior behind.

Priscilla earned a reassuring score from her mother.

So, when I told her that I was going to see Priscilla, she said to her mother that spring would be long this year and she willingly sent me off.

I was very fortunate that things went more smoothly than I expected.

“This is truly amazing.”

I muttered this as I looked around the Count Arvest family’s drawing room.

“hehehehe, I was really surprised after I got my memories back.”

In the previous world, Count Arvest went to great lengths for Priscilla, the crown prince’s fiancée.

He bought a villa in a location that can be called a yolk land in the islands.

But this world’s Priscilla is not my fiancee.

Nevertheless, as if it were fate, the Count purchased this villa again.

It felt very mysterious.

Should I say that it feels like we are following the main stream of the world we experienced…? .

“I think it’s probably because of Miss Rosaria.”

“Leah? Ah, maybe so.”

After Lia was born, she became the owner of the County of Le Vania, which was effectively a direct territory of the Empire.

The nobles who noticed this began to rush to invest in the eastern region.

Count Arbest was a man who knew how to row when the water came in.

Count Arvest….

“What about this earl?”

“He’s an ordinary father who is a bit blunt.”

“It seems that bug has been quiet in this life.”

“That person returned to the Holy Kingdom three years ago.”

“Is that so?”

“Originally, the County of Arbest was a place where apprentice priests would stop by.”

No one with divine power is born.

In such a situation, it seems that the Holy Kingdom was also on fire, and a thorough investigation was conducted on the priests dispatched to each region.

The goal is to reorganize the organization as efficiently as possible.

It seems that the priests of the County of Arvest were repatriated to their home country as part of such reorganization.

“Maximilian. That… “There is a slightly sensitive issue.”

“What is it?”

“… “Miss Cynthia.”

“I came here just to talk about that. “They say Dior experiences similar symptoms to us.”

I briefly told Priscilla the story I had with the Dior guy.

Then Priscilla began to stroke the side of her head with a pensive look on her face.

“Did you find anything?”

“Not yet. However, the minimum scope has been narrowed.”

Even after listening to me, Priscilla still had her pensive look on her face.

“I don’t think that’s the point.”

“I have a lot to think about….”

Priscilla said that and looked up at the sky outside her window.

“Did you say it was a fleeting fragment since we were there? I think her memory took over due to the influence of that holy relic. But if His Majesty Dior also has such vague memories….”

Maybe Cynthia vaguely remembers it too?

No, it’s not limited to Cynthia. I think there may be more people who have vague memories.

Wouldn’t that cause any problems?

Priscilla seemed concerned about that.

I gently stroked Priscilla’s head.

“Maximilian… ?”

“Don’t think too hard about it, Priscilla.”

I smiled softly as I stroked Priscilla’s cheek.

“Do you know that Martin and so-and-so are seeing each other these days?”

“Well, is that really…? ?”

In the previous world, the two people used to interact in a strange way.

So-and-so was attracted to Martin, who was my only break, and Martin was attracted to her bright and active appearance.

But in this world, Martin did not act as my brake.

So, it is normal for so-and-so to not be attracted to Martin.

But, as if by fate, the two were drawn to each other again.

“A lot of things have changed because of our choices. It is definitely a better world than the previous one. However, in the process, there may have been conflicting people.”

We saved countless lives by preventing flood damage in the southern region.

However, the relationships created by the flood may have been distorted.

This is the same situation in which the narrative of the injured wing was taken away from a pair of birds who became close by comforting each other’s injured wings.

“The red thread of fate….”

“Yes, it is a world where God exists. “Can’t you think of it as the red thread of fate?”

I said that and clasped Priscilla’s hand.

“If you think about it that way, it’s such a lovely story. A vague memory of trying to find someone you love….”

Priscilla said that and her eyes widened as if she remembered something about her.

“Then how about doing it like this?”

“Hmm?”

“He has red hair and his eyes are squinted as if he has something up his sleeve—”

For some reason, I felt like I knew what Priscilla was trying to say.

“He looks polite on the outside, but in reality, he is a sneaky guy. When he is bored, he goes to the orphanage and the king of the oasis, who is in trouble, comes looking for you.”

Priscilla and I looked at each other and smiled slightly.

This is a phrase that only those who know Dior, which is subtly different from this world, can recognize.

If she reads that, wouldn’t Cynthia react first?

We decided to walk on the red thread of fate.

……

…

“Uh, so… that… The expression ‘King of the Oasis’ kept coming to mind….”

… Is this what happens?
