The Villainess Who Traveled Back in Time Inexplicably Lost Her Magic

Chapter 26: Rachel

The lord's residence in Marquis Marcel's territory was located on a hill right next to the sea. There were no other buildings around them, so they could overlook the sea.

When Rachel opened the window, the sea breeze came in, carrying the scent of sea water. The blue sky and the horizon spreading out in front of her lifted her mood. Somehow, she got excited.

Oh, how comfortable!

She was happy to be able to see this kind of scenery in the morning. Rachel had been feeling much better thanks to this good environment. She was learning how to control magic power from Theodore every day. The fresh seafood dishes made by Samuel was also good for her health.

As she looked at the scenery while holding Black, she heard a knocking sound. She answered with affirmation, only to hear, "It's me," as a reply.

Who is 'me', you wonder?

...Well, only one person would respond like this.

When Rachel lowered Black to the floor, Black ran, stopping in front of the door. Then he scratched it, telling her to open it. Rachel watched that scene with a bitter smile. Then she replied, "I'm going now," and opened the door. Sure enough, it was Theodore.

As usual, Black rubbed his body to Theodore's feet. And when Theodore picked him up, he meowed like he was telling him something. In response, Theodore replied with a sweet voice, "Good morning."

Their relationship was as steady as ever. Rachel felt envious watching that. "Good morning, Lord Theodore."

"Yeah, good morning."

Since they came here, Theodore no longer wore his usual black robe. Currently, he was wearing a white shirt with a bolo tie, secured with a black glossy onyx. According to Theodore, "Wearing a robe here will make me stand out too much. It'll be troublesome if rumors about me start appearing." However, Rachel thought that his long silver hair was very noticeable as well. But he didn't seem to bother about that much.

"Miss Rachel, are you ready?"

"Yes. Huh? Where is Samuel?"

"Oh. He's checking today's route with Roger." Rachel couldn't go out for a few days after their arrival since he was too tired. However, she recovered little by little.

After a week, Rachel got a permit to go to the nearby park, beach, and eventually the town, increasing the distance and time of her travel. However, she was never bedridden since she came to the territory. That's probably because her days had been very fulfilling, everything she saw was brand new things.

And today she was going to the market. Theodore, Roger, and Samuel would accompany her. Today's morning market was special; many stalls selling rare goods and fresh seafood.

"Then Sarah, we're going."

"Yes. Please be safe," Sarah said with a smile and sent them out.

This was the first time Sarah came to Marcel's territory, so she never saw the sea before. She was very impressed when she caught a sight of it. Certainly, watching the sea calms one's mind.

In the daytime, the waves shone brilliantly, and in the evening, the bright red dyed the sky and the sea into orange, sinking into the surface of the water. And at night, the stars twinkled, as if they were small diamonds scattering in the endless darkness. It's beautiful no matter when Rachel saw it.

There was a different country beyond this sea, with more diverse people living there. A strange feeling blossomed in her heart when she thought about that.
