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

“We should make a new law!”

Everyone present froze at Mel’s outlandish suggestion, though she continued speaking without regard.

“A law that says if you impose your ideas and hurt people, you will be punished! Oh, but the punishment should be serious. Like the death penalty! If we want to avoid conflict, isn’t this the best way?”

I wouldn’t say that capital punishment was the best way to go.

But what Mel suggested might be a good idea.

IIt would be hard to question what they believe in, and there may be more people emerging in the future than just Alicia and Liz who they might choose to believe in. The best way to crack down on them would be to make new laws.

“Some may act without fear of death, though.”

“Like terrorists?”

I responded to Duke’s words.

I once read in a book that there were no terrorists in Duelkis, but they were said to exist in other countries. I wasn’t sure if that was true or not.

“We were dealing with just a few students, but this is about to turn into a ridiculous incident, isn’t it?”

Henry said, and Mel replied with a straight face.

“Being ‘Just a student’ is the scariest part. They’re so weirdly motivated.”

That may indeed be the case. It was a time when they were learning a lot of new things.

Curtis looked at Duke with concern.

“Is it possible to add new laws?”

“It’s not impossible, but it would be difficult from a student’s point of view.”

“Let’s take advantage of the prince’s position!”

Mel seemed to be enjoying herself, as if she thought it was someone else’s business. Rummaging around, she pulled a candy stick out of her pocket and started licking it. The sweet smell of strawberries wafted through the air.

…You’re a free-spirited person, aren’t you?

“Are you serious?”

Duke stared at Mel as if putting pressure on her.

“I’m serious. I hope Liz will make a speech and stop the commotion, but we can’t balance the situation without Aliali here. What happened in this classroom this time is truly revolting.”

Mel rolled a candy ball in her mouth gently. She had been cheerfully talking the whole time, but for the first time, she revealed her anger.

A student was almost killed. Mel would understand the seriousness of this incident with the stones.

“…I think we should give Emma a break, for now, right?”

Curtis firmly supported Emma’s back and the backs of her legs, which were lying on the teaching table, and held her up with both hands.

I could see why Curtis was so popular with the girls, as he said, “I’ll take care of the rest,” and walked out of the classroom.

“I think I agree with Mel…”

Liz muttered quietly. And then said in a firm voice that a new law should be created.

I was still not completely convinced by Mel’s suggestion, but I couldn’t really say anything.

This should have solved the problem, but I felt like I was missing something…

…If new laws were made and followed, where would the resentment that builds up among the believers be directed?
