My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 59 Would it be better if I had never been in this world?
Iluvia had a dream.

In her dream, she returned to her childhood and the first assassination attempt she had ever experienced.

That was also the first time she realized the terrifying nature of her abilities.

When the personal maid who intended to assassinate him quickly shed her flesh and blood as she approached him.

As Iluvia watched the body of the only maid in the palace who was willing to approach her and show her a little kindness and care, disappearing quickly like snowflakes under the scorching sun, she felt an unprecedented fear.

She was scared, and she wanted this maid, the only one who was kind to her and the only one willing to approach her, to return to her normal state.

Even though she had a face full of hatred and stabbed at him with a poisoned dagger not long ago.

Even if it was just a little bit of care, even if it was just something fake...that was all she had.

But what happened afterwards made Iluvia regret it to this day, and even after so many years, she still dreams of this nightmare memory from time to time.

It was a ray of purple fire that emerged from Iluvia's fingertips and jumped into the servant who had turned into scattered bones.

The fire is burning.

Flesh and blood also reappeared in the fire.

The newly grown flesh and blood was pale and unnatural.

But the maid successfully returned to her "original state". Except for her eyes which had no brilliance but only flashed with a hint of purple fire, and her pale flesh and blood which looked like a corpse, everything was the same as before.

Iluvia suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.

The cold sweat on her back had now soaked through her white pajamas and wet the quilt she was covering herself with.

But after waking up, Iluvia still buried herself in the quilt and refused to get up.

Iluvia: “…”

"I'm thinking of some troublesome things again."

"Come to think of it, today seems to be the opening ceremony..."

"Forget it. I'll just get looked down upon if I go."

With this thought in mind, Iluvia turned over in bed flexibly, rolled up the quilt and prepared to take a nap.

After tossing and turning for a while, Iluvia, who became more and more awake, realized one thing: she was afraid she would not be able to fall asleep.

"...I'd better go take a look from a distance. It's the opening ceremony. I'll just take a look and then go to the military headquarters. It's rare that Director Caifas is willing to cooperate."

"Maybe we can use this opportunity to win over the other party."

"After all, my success rate should be better than that sanctimonious old bastard Wellington."

With this thought in mind, Iluvia got up, dressed, and after tidying herself up simply, she walked out the door.

She glanced at Kalia's dormitory building next door, which was very quiet at the moment.

The curtains in the bedroom on the second floor were also drawn, and it seemed that he had already gone out.

"It's so nice... so carefree. I wish I could be like this one day..."

Although Kalia was nowhere to be seen, and she didn't like this guy who was always hanging around with Roland.

But she had to admit that she really wanted to live a life like Kalia's.

Even if it's just for a day, an hour.

Just as Iluvia was fantasizing, a hatter appeared from behind her: "Your Highness. Are you going to the opening ceremony?"

"Yeah, can't you?"

"Not really, but you need to hurry. The opening ceremony has already begun."

"..."

Iluvia sighed and said, "Then I won't go. I just want to watch the fun anyway."

Iluvia, feeling somewhat disappointed, also asked, "Did anything happen with Roland last night?"

"Your Highness, according to Delan, who is in charge of protecting Lord Roland, he encountered a mostly tentative assassination attempt last night."

"Really?... Do you think Roland would have a lot less trouble if I weren't there?"

Iluvia walked towards the exit of the academy while speaking almost as if she were asking and answering herself.

"Look, without me, with his ability, he can easily pass the test even without forming a team."

"As a result, I got caught up in their encirclement and encountered several assassinations by powerful people along the way." "Two fifth-ring warriors, two fifth-ring magicians, and a sixth-ring magician... If it were just me, I really wouldn't be able to escape their encirclement."

"Without Roland, I would have died in the test. He was the one who brought me out."

"If it weren't for me, Master Tolan wouldn't have had so many conflicts with Roland. Their personalities are very compatible and they should have made a good master and apprentice pair."

"Although Master Tolan still accepted Roland as his student due to some misunderstandings, if it weren't for me, so many things wouldn't have happened, right?"

"Not to mention assassinations... Look, it's all because of me that Roland got into so many troubles he shouldn't have, right?"

"Now that I think about it, what this guy said yesterday about me being particularly troublesome seems to make sense, doesn't it?"

Iluvia paused as she spoke, then turned to look at the Hatter who was keeping a certain distance from her behind her and asked.

"You say... if Father had been cruel enough to strangle me to death at birth, wouldn't that have been the best option?"

The accompanying hatter remained silent the entire time, not saying a word, but just followed Iluvia silently.

Seeing that the Hatter showed no intention of answering, Iluvia chuckled.

"Don't think about this anymore."

"Just like that guy said, since we've survived until now, let's continue to live well."

"As for those prejudices and fears, just let them go."

"'When you die, you lose everything. Everything is finalized with death, but as long as you are alive, you can definitely do something.' That's what he said."

The Hatter, who had been watching the show in silence, was a little surprised by Iluvia's sudden change of attitude.

He thought His Highness would continue to be so sentimental.

But when he thought about it, it made sense.

If she didn't have such strong psychological adjustment ability, she wouldn't have lived to grow up. Her strong desire for self-destruction could easily kill her in any assassination.

At this time, Iluvia stopped, and the hatter behind her stepped forward to stand between Iluvia and the newcomer.

"Step back, Ms. Fram means no harm, there's no need to be so nervous."

Iluvia waved the Hatter aside, then looked at Fram with some confusion: "Didn't you go to the opening ceremony?"

"No, I've been looking for you." Fram shook her head and then stated her purpose: "Come with me, there are some things we need to talk about alone."

"Can't we talk here?" Iluvia tilted her head.

"No. Believe me, Iluvia. After all, I watched you grow up."

Iluvia was speechless at Fram's words: "...You only taught me a few lessons."

"Almost. Anyway, you and Leah's child are about the same age, and when they were born... Never mind, let's talk about this later."

Fram, who almost let out the key information, quickly stopped talking and told his origins: "About Salah, he has something to tell you."

“I just haven’t found the right opportunity yet.”

"Now's the perfect time. Roland and Leah are both listening to that Hearn guy's long speech and won't bother me."

"Father?"

Iluvia was stunned for a moment, then she remembered the conversation in Fram's office yesterday.

"I see. Let's talk about this somewhere else."

Iluvia nodded at Fram, then looked at the Hatter: "You go meet up with Delan and protect Roland's safety."

"I'll contact other people later regarding the joint operation with the General Inspectorate."

"Yes."

The Hatter retreated, and Iluvia left the academy with Fram.
