I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History-Chapter 490
I wonder what it contained…
“I thought it was Uncle’s diary or something…”
“If it’s Gramps’ diary, I’d want to read it too! But the fact that Alicia is reading it with such a grim expression on her face makes me think that it’s not very cheerful.”
“Well, it’s just that your uncle’s life is much more tragic than we could ever imagine.”
“…Even after Grandpa’s passing, he’s still a big influence on us, isn’t he?”
“Yes. He was a very wonderful man.”
Gilles and Duke-sama were having some conversation, but I continued reading the book without overhearing what they were saying.
This diary was written from the day Uncle Will lost his magic.
His pain at that time could be felt through the book.
…At that time, at the end, I entered into Uncle Will’s memories and touched on his painful past. But that was just part of this book, wasn’t it?

When he could no longer use his magic, he struggled desperately to find value for himself.
No one blamed him, but he did reach a point of self-loathing, but he managed to claw his way back up. The trail of his life was written in the book. Grandpa must have watched his journey more closely than anyone else.
I looked around to see if I could find anything about Julie-sama.
[I have no value because I can’t use magic. I wish to disappear from this world…]
The handwriting was hard to read and dirty; it didn’t look like Uncle Will’s handwriting.
It was very rough around in some areas, and hard to decipher.
[Everyone treats me like a tumor. I have disappointed my father. It will be impossible for him to accept me now that I have nothing.]
He was despairing of the future, and although his handwriting was well written, he did not seem to exhibit a sense of strength.
Through the diary, I could see what Uncle Will was like at that time.
Ah! There it was! About Julie-sama!
[My mother-in-law thinks I am an obstacle. I think she’s up to something. I have to be careful.]
That’s it… I have no idea what kind of person she was.
In the first place, the fact that she had never appeared in our presence before was suspicious in every way. I even doubt if she even existed at all.
[I’ll look for something I can do, even if I can’t use magic. Even if it’s just to help Luke a little.]
[If I, who cannot use magic, can support this country, the system of this country may change. Not only nobles but also commoners will be given equal chances. I will be a pioneer in changing the system from a magic supremacy to a meritocracy.]
This was…, before Uncle Will had yet to have his eyes gouged out.
Uncle Will had the foresight to see that this country was reaching a point of decline…
“Hey, Duke.”
“Yes, what is it?”
“Me, you know, I might not have the courage to read Gramps’ diary.”
“…You can read it when you feel like it. You don’t have to force yourself to read it now. Alicia will read it and tell us what we need to know.”
“You see… Alicia is reading it with so many tears in her eyes. If I read that book, I might not be able to move forward again.”
“Oh. I bet Alicia herself didn’t even know she was crying, you know.”
“Yes, I think so as well.”
I continued to read the book, trying desperately to find any information on Julie-sama, while learning more about Uncle Will’s past.
