NovelEnglishThe Villainess Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride (hostage) in a Former Enemy Country
Chapter 54.2: Answer the former teacherIn her past life, she was critiqued with the same lines.
But she couldn’t reply the same way as she did then.
“It’s difficult for me to study under your guidance, but… would you mind enlightening me on some matters while you’re staying here?”
“No, of course I don’t mind. I’m still learning myself and there’s a lot I don’t know.”
“Thank you. Then, Evan-sama will be my ‘teacher’.”
“Teacher. Hahaha, that’s funny.”
Rishe pondered while Michel was smiling at her.
The question is, what did this doctor come to Garkhain for? If it was for that ‘medicine’…
A sensation, akin to frustration, crept into her chest.
But if it was for another matter; she didn’t want to contradict that by asking him something unnecessary.
Perhaps, he genuinely tagged along under Kyle’s orders. While she was considering various potential circumstances, Michel’s gaze returned to the field.
“By the way, my student, back to my first question, may I ask you something?”
“Sure, what is it?”
“The plants growing in this field are out of my field of expertise. So I don’t know that much about them. I’m just guessing–”
Michel said as he sucked on the scented cigarette he was holding between his fingers.
“Are you, by any chance, going to serve Kyle a dose?”

He said he didn’t know much about them, but that didn’t stop him from calmly seeing through their intended use.
Thanks to that, the knight guards beside her looked at her in astonishment.
Even if it’s his field of expertise, Teacher won’t say ‘I’m an expert’. [“I don’t know everything, so there’s no way I can say I understand everything perfectly.”]
He was still the same in this aspect.
No, this Michel was the Michel before Rishe knew him, so it might be wrong to say that he was the same as ever.
“Err, Teacher…”
Rishe cleared her throat.
“I need to consult you about that as soon as possible.”
This was a great opportunity.
I’m sorry, Teacher. But now that I’ve met you, let’s work for Prince Kyle!
****
Although I said that…
The development that Rishe had brought upon herself made her want to clutch her head in both hands.
They went to the main castle’s reception room. It was a bit narrower room than the one they used during the day.
In that room were Rishe, Michel, the knight guards, and Kyle, who had been summoned.
I never thought I’d meet Prince Kyle all of a sudden.
Kyle sat upright on his chair, and looked completely bewildered, but he politely greeted Rishe.
“Thank you for a wonderful evening, Lady Rishe. No words can express my euphoria for having the good fortune of seeing you twice in one day. …”
“Your Highness Kyle, please don’t be alarmed. Be at ease to speak your mind.”
“Then, I’ll take your word for it. Michel, what on earth are you doing here?”
Kyle looked at Michel, who was sitting beside him with a troubled look on his face. Michel smiled at him and gently answered, “I found this amazing girl in the courtyard. She has something beneficial, so I wanted to introduce her to you as soon as possible.”
“Mind your words. This lady is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Garkhain’s betrothed.”
“Oh, really? But she became my student just now.”
“Student?”
“Yeah. That’s right.”
“…?”
When Kyle looked at her askance, Rishe bowed in apology.
She couldn’t help but apologize as if she were Michel’s relatives – a remnant of her life as his student.
“To put it simply, this girl is well versed in pharmacy. I think the medicine she’s concocted is going to work for your body.”
“Medicine? Lady Rishe did?”
“It was a surprise. I heard that you studied with a master from Renfa. From what little I’ve heard about him, he was a master who seemed to get along with others pretty well. Right, Rishe?”
“Ahaha…”
She dodged Michel’s question with a smile. Michel continued regardless of it, “She has an herb that’s outside my expertise, but I still have an idea of its medicinal properties. It certainly will be effective, and the side effects aren’t a hindrance to daily life. By all means, I think Kyle should take it and we’ll experiment with it.”

“Huh? My mistake. Common sense is troublesome, isn’t it?”
After a momentary pause, Michel looked at Kyle, who had an indescribable look, and smiled at him.
“But I sincerely wish Kyle would get better soon.”
“…”
Ahhh, Teacher, the way you put it…
Kyle was way too serious, and had a sincere heart.
He couldn’t refuse others’ goodwill due to his sickly physique, and he has a strong awareness of the inconveniences it caused.
“I get it.”
Ahh~
Sure enough, Kyle seriously nodded.
He was grateful to Rishe, but was at the same time, worried.
“Your Highness Kyle, are you sure?”
“This is the medicine that our country’s topmost scholar vouches for and wants to try. I’m prepared to do everything in my power. It would be a godsend, if it means new possibilities will arise here.”
After that, he added articulately, “Above all, the medicine prepared for me by a goddess-like figure, will certainly be effective to some extent.”
“… Then, we’ll prepare from now on…”
Rishe gave him a distant look, and replied.
