The Reincarnated Wizard Who Will Eventually Become the Strongest

Chapter 187: Alicia's Feelings 1

Translated by AmaLynne

Alicia Walker was a somewhat reserved girl.

Compared to her lively sisters, she wasn’t very outspoken and didn’t excel at expressing her opinions or engaging in physical activities.

She often kept her head down and spoke in a soft voice, which meant she didn’t have many close friends.

Moreover, she wasn’t comfortable around men.

Alicia only felt at ease with her father, Jonathan, and her childhood friend, Gunther.

There was one more boy she could call a childhood friend, but he fell into the category of men

Alicia wasn’t comfortable with him, so they weren’t close.

For Alicia, Samuel Scheidt was a mysterious presence.

He was the disciple of her late older sister and her most beloved boy, as well as the fiancé of her second sister.

As the most powerful mage in the Sky Kingdom, he was different from any other man Alicia knew.

He had a friendly aura, and when she was with him, words flowed naturally.

In actual conversations, he was a good listener, and he would listen to Alicia’s stories with a smile.

Thanks to him, Alicia started finding joy in conversing with people.

Since Sam came to the mansion, many things have changed for Alicia.

One of the most shocking things for her was when the dragons, beings that had only existed in stories until then, visited as guests and stayed in the mansion.

And she found out she could communicate with beings other than humans.

Being able to talk to the Red Dragons and their young ones brought her immense joy.

It felt like she had become a character from a book.

The baby dragons grew fond of Alicia and would call her “big sister” in their language, which made her feel ticklish.

Before she knew it, the baby dragons had become precious members of her family.

Playing with the baby dragons allowed her to discover the lively side of herself that she had thought was absent.

Not too long ago, she had secretly gone on a journey to a distant land, riding on the back of a baby dragon.

She hadn’t told her family about it.

Sometimes, she played by the river, got covered in mud, and laughed loudly.

She had experienced a life she couldn’t have imagined not too long ago.

She realized that she was no longer the timid person she used to be.

She could now hold her head high and speak her mind.

She had even made friends at school and started enjoying school life for the first time.

She believed that it was all thanks to Sam.

Today, she joined Sam for the daily ritual of the baby dragons’ bath.

Invited by the baby dragons’ cheerful chirping and arm-nibbling, she decided to join them in bathing with Sam’s water magic.

Without realizing that her clothes had become see-through due to the water, she laughed and played with Sam and the baby dragons, enjoying a truly happy moment.

“Alicia, you’ve become quite a tomboy.”

Sighed her mother, looking at herself covered in mud.

Her father, being the type who was fine as long as she was healthy, likely didn’t mind. But from her mother’s perspective, her daughter, who used to be very refined, had become mischievous, and that’s what she was lamenting.

However, Alicia had no intention of going back to her old self.

She planned to play in the courtyard with Sam and the baby dragons until the sun went down.

“Ah, we had fun today, didn’t we?”

“Kyu-ru-ru!”

After enjoying some fun with the baby dragons, Alicia and Sam headed straight to the bath.

They also had an animated discussion about a book Alicia had recently given him.

It had been a delightful time, but such moments always seemed to end too quickly.

When Lise was looking for Sam, Hanae came to call him.

Sam had a happier expression on his face compared to when he was with Alicia, and he went to his sister’s room.

It wasn’t as if Sam was neglecting Alicia.

He looked apologetic as he said, “I’m sorry. Let’s be together again tomorrow.”

He gently stroked the baby dragons before heading to his sister’s room.

Alicia had no complaints. She knew she shouldn’t have any complaints, but she felt a sense of nostalgia, and her heart ached.

“―As expected, I…”

Alicia desperately tried to hide the emotions in her heart.

Just seeing her happy sister warmed her heart.

Alicia genuinely wished for her sister, who had faced many hardships, to find happiness.

She had never once thought about getting in the way of her sister’s happiness.

“―Sam-sama.”

However, the faint feelings in her heart for Sam would not disappear.

But she couldn’t bear the thought that her sister’s smile might cloud over if her feelings for Sam were revealed.

At the same time, the pain of not being able to confess her feelings to Sam and having to bury them deep in her heart was unbearable.

“Kyu-ru-ru!”

“It’s okay. There’s nothing wrong, so please don’t worry.”

Alicia said with a smile, as the baby dragons, looking concerned, chirped and licked her face. She didn’t want to worry these still-young baby dragons.

Exiting the bath with the baby dragons, she changed into a comfortable dress, and the maid Marie appeared.

“Alicia-sama.”

“Oh, Marie. Do you need something?”

“Your father is calling for you.”

“My father? Thank you, I’ll go to him right away.”

It was unusual for her father to call her, and as Alicia thought about that, she sent the baby dragons back to her room before heading to her father’s study.
