I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History-Chapter 391

Gilles left the room and a few moments later Luke came into the room.

“Brother, how are you feeling?”

In his worried deep blue eyes, Gramps could see his own thin, gaunt figure. I showed him the empty bottle in my hand.

Luke stared at the bottle with a curious expression.

“…What is this?”

“It’s a cure for spotted disease that Gilles brought.”

“…A cure? But we need to get Maddie…”

Luke accepted the empty bottle, wide-eyed and puzzled.

“He made it out of three plants. Can you believe it? A little boy like that has turned the tables on me.”

“Seriously…if he really did it, it’s a great feat. But you drank it? Without even conducting a clinical trial?”

“No doubt it was a success.”

I said quietly to calm Luke down.

It was no small feat to produce the same components as Maddie but the boy had accomplished it.

After taking the cure, the pain all over his body had eased a little. The effect was immediate.

Before it had been difficult to even rouse his weakened body, but it was easier to talk to him now.

“But, my brother is already…”

“Ah, I certainly can’t be saved.”

Saying this in a sure voice, Luke shut his mouth.

It was no longer a matter of when I would go to the other side. If anything, it was a wonder that I was still alive. I was still breathing because of the sole reason that Gilles, that child, still needed me by his side.

But that was no longer the case. He had many friends. He was not alone anymore.

Even with medication, it was difficult for me to completely recover from this terminal condition. But I feel like my life has been extended just a little bit.

“From now on, Gilles will save many people. This is a miracle drug. It will leave its mark on history and everyone will know his name. The boy who was once abandoned and dying in that village will become someone the world needs. Too bad I won’t be alive to see it happen…”

“…Don’t I have to tell him?”

Luke wrinkled his brow and said wistfully.

“Gilles knows this in his heart. He’s just not ready to accept my death yet.”

Gilles was no longer alone with me, he had other places to go. Google search 𝘧𝓇𝗲e𝑤𝑒𝙗noѵ𝒆𝚕. 𝒄o𝓶

He may face a lot of challenges in the future, but he will be fine. Since the first time I saw him, I could see the strong will to live in his eyes.

“There is nothing more to worry about.”

“…Speaking of which, Duke went to see Alicia. It was useless to stop him.”

“I see. …It’s good to give him a little freedom while you can. I wanted to see the country those two would be building.”

“I wanted to see the country you built, brother.”

Luke said, staring at me. Please don’t die yet, his eyes begged.

I thought he was an adult now, but it seems he was still a child.

I wondered what Luke’s mother, Julie, was doing now. She will be an obstacle for Gilles, Alicia, and Duke.

They’d have to confront the issue sooner or later if she was up to something behind their backs.

“…Alicia is a lot like Amelia.”

Luke’s words reminded me of the deceased Princess of the Melvin Kingdom, who was married into the Duelkis Kingdom. She was also Duke’s mother.

The only connection this non-diplomatic country had was with the Melvin Kingdom.

I didn’t know much about her, but I had seen her visiting Duelkis Kingdom as Luke’s fiancée after I had lost my magical power.

“She was physically weak, but she was a very strong and wise woman.”

I could tell by the tone of his voice that he still loved her.

She was tall and brown-skinned, with pitch-black hair in a single braid. She was a beautiful, bright woman with a strong spirit.

She was younger than me, but I remember she had a certain dignity about her.

“I thought there was only one woman like that in the world, but Alicia has gone beyond that.”

Luke smiled nostalgically and sadly.

He would like to see his late wife again. When you think about it, Luke has always been unhappy. He must have been in a suffocating environment because he was the child of a mistress. Suddenly I was gone; he lost his wife, who supported and loved him, and he had to take charge of this country.

“…I had a brief conversation with Amelia when she first arrived in this country many years ago. When I asked her if she was afraid to marry into this country, she replied with a big smile that it would be great for her child to be able to use magic. I’ll never forget that image.”

“She was that kind of woman. She had a strong sense of justice, faith, and was not afraid…. There was a gaping hole in my heart the day she died. And I’m about to lose someone I care about again.”

I could hear the slight tremor in Luke’s voice.

I couldn’t say anything. I had already prepared for my death long ago. But those who would be left behind were not ready for my death.

I hope both Gilles and Luke will move on without being trapped by me.
