“I want revenge on Roland.”
Luxion and Creare gathered in my room in the student dormitory.
And then there are three of my fiance e Ange, Livia, and Noel.
In addition, Erika was additionally invited to join the meeting to discuss revenge against Roland.
Tea and sweets prepared for everyone are on the table, and a pleasant aroma wafts through the room.
The light coming in through the window was warm and the afternoon of a very pleasant day.
Too wasteful of a day to have a meeting about dangerous topics.
As much as it is unpleasant to have to talk about revenge against Roland on a day like this.
Luxion and Creare look at each other’s lenses once before turning to me and talking to me.
[It’s insane to think about revenge back at Roland as soon as you hear that Raschel has made a move.]
[Master really likes unproductive behavior, right?]
I have just received information that the Holy Kingdom of Raschel is preparing for war against the Horfalt Kingdom.
I had thought they had been moving for some time, but this time they are even involving the neighboring countries of the Horfalt Kingdom.
Ange was looking at me with some anxiety at this situation, or perhaps, and was looking at me with astonishment as we tried to discuss how to get revenge on Roland.
After taking a sip of tea, she gives me a sharp look.
“By the looks of you, it seems you’ve got some countermeasures against Raschel.”
I reach for my tea cakes and grab them with my fingertips. I lift a flat piece of cookie slightly above my gaze and describe it, looking at the front and back.
“That is up to the other party, I guess?”
Noel, slightly annoyed with my attitude, and snatched the cookie I was holding.
“Think about it properly. We’re relying on Leon now, aren’t we?”
From Noel’s perspective, who had experienced war in the Republic of Arzel, my attitude was unacceptable.
I shrug my shoulders.
“I’ll figure something out. But more importantly, I want revenge against Roland now!
I need you guys to come up with some ideas.” There are limits to what I can do alone.
So, to make that Roland suffer, I gathered a group of dependable partners and fiance es. Livia lets out a small sigh.
“His Majesty seems to be busy at the palace. Leon-san, why don’t you stop fighting with him? The other party is His Majesty the King.”
Indeed, he may be someone to respect, but to me, he is an enemy to hate.
“I’ll never forget the bitterness I have against that guy for giving me a promotion for nothing, and I’m not going to forgive him for pushing the five idiots on me.”
In response to my unwavering determination, Livia finally stopped talking, as if she couldn’t find the right words.
Erika, who was watching the situation, let out a deep sigh.
“Did you call me all the way out here to get revenge on my father?”
Partly because I wanted to invite Erika to a tea party, but also because his daughter would most likely have some clue as to how to harass Roland.
“That bastard Roland really loves Erika-sama. Do you know any secrets that Roland doesn’t like?”
Erika gave me a dumbfounded look.
“Even if I know, I have no intention of telling you. Why doesn’t Duke stop harassing him like a child?”
“Absolutely no”
When I firmly refuse, Luxion and Creare make a gesture of shaking their heads.
And then Luxion offers me a suggestion.
[Then, why not assassinate Roland for good? It will reduce the amount of time wasted worrying about this kind of thing in the future, and it is efficient because one of Master’s worries is gone.]
The suggestion is so bad, that it makes me pull away.
“I don’t like that. If he dies, there will be a lot of unnecessary trouble. I just want to see him suffer.”
After saying that, Ange and Livia looked at each other.
“Really, Leon and His Majesty don’t get along.”
“As long as no one kills each other, we’re still in a peaceful situation.” I don’t want Roland to die.
I just want him to suffer.
I just want to see the suffering face of that guy who keeps harassing me.
Noel threw the cookie she took from me into her mouth and chewed it somewhat roughly.
“You don’t have to do anything at a time like this.”
She is trying to say that harassing Roland should not be done at this time.
After all, most of the surrounding countries are turning into enemies.
The Holy Kingdom of Raschel is serious about going to war.
This is no time for pranks ―― But.
“It’s because it’s now. At this time, even if I go a little overboard, I can make it disappear. After all, the kingdom is relying on me now.”
Yes, the plan was based on the calculation that the timing would allow for a bit of overkill to be tolerated.
People around me were somewhat taken back by my calculating thoughts.
In the midst of all this, it is Creare who excitedly makes a suggestion.
[Then leave it to me! I’ll show you what a real Brain Break is.] Brain Break? Do you mean brain destruction?
“Oi, don’t say dangerous things. As expected, it makes me pull back too.”
[Mou! Don’t get me wrong. I really don’t mean to destroy the brain.]
Creare, who made Aaron into Aare-chan, does not have a shred of persuasive power in saying this. But I’m curious, so I’ll confirm the details.
“What then?”
A cheerful Creare tells us in a rather low electronic voice how to inflict indelible damage on Roland.
[Master and Erika-chan will be photographed sleeping in the same bed. Of course, you can’t touch her. We’ll just prepare a picture that will look like after the fact.]
Creare’s suggestion scared me so much that I turned my head away, afraid that Ange and even Livia and Noel had a blank look on their faces.
Erika is holding her forehead with her hand.
“Doing so would bring the Duke to trial for a variety of crimes.”
Messing with a princess who is engaged to a fiance e, that’s going too far.
However, Creare seems to have confidence.
[It’s okay! I’ve made calculations and it’s just barely acceptable. If Master repels Raschel, I’m sure the Kingdom will ignore him now. Or rather, they’ll overlook it!] If Creare says it, is it right?
I thought about that for a moment, but Ange immediately denied it.
“Sure, they’ll forgive you, but at the same time, I’m sure Milene-sama will be pressing you to take responsibility for that.”
I imagine Milene-san coming on to me and asking me to take responsibility.
I’m getting a little scared.
“I hate responsibility”
When I muttered, Creare began to circle around me.
[It’s all right. We’ll have witnesses, and we’ll just have to prove that you didn’t touch her. Then tell Roland, ‘Your daughter was lovely’.] I thought.
“You’re the worst”
[——Against the new humans, I think we can do whatever we want. Master, let’s put a stop to Roland’s heart together!]
I shake my head slowly, and Ange, Livia, and Noel get up from their seats to catch Creare without a word.
Ange gave Creare a dark smile.
“I’m sure your suggestion will cause serious heartbreak for His Majesty. But we would be troubled if word got out that Leon had slept with Erika-sama.” Livia looked at Creare with a big smile.
“Are-chan, let’s talk for a moment. I have to ask you in detail about turning a boy into a girl.”
Caught by the two girls, Creare makes a desperate gesture of resistance. If she really wanted to, it would be easy to get away from them.
But her resistance was kept at a minimum, perhaps because she decided not to hurt my fiance es.
[Wait, both of you! Please listen to me?! This is a time-honored etiquette handed down from ancient times!! And Noel-chan, please don’t laugh and help me!]
Noel, grinning at Creare, raises her hands and flutters them in the air when she asks for help.
“I’m sorry~. I’m pretty pissed off too.”
Creare looks at me as if asking for help.
[Master understands me, right?]
“I don’t understand you one bit”
Sure, I want Roland to suffer, but the way that she tries to do so is just too much.
As the three of them take Creare away, Luxion looks at me and Erika alternately.
[If Master had adopted Creare’s proposal, it would have done great damage to Roland’s mind. If that happened, it would have hindered the future.]
I tell Luxion, who doesn’t understand anything, by putting my hand on the back of my head.
“There are a lot more problems than just Roland. Still, I didn’t think Ange and others would be that angry.”
[I also agree with that.]
I and Luxion were both tilting our heads, but Erika was laughing with her cheeks pulled tight as I was trying to figure out why the three of them were so angry.
“You two, do you really not understand?”
“Did Erika get it? Then tell me.”
Indeed, if I got into the same bed with Erika and took pictures, the three of them would not be amused. But it’s just a prank, so I won’t touch her.
They may not like it, but they shouldn’t be so angry about it.
There is a possibility that Milene-san will press for me and Erika to get married, which will be troublesome ―― but is it enough to make you angry?
Erika looked somewhat dumbfounded, then laced her fingers in front of her mouth, a little embarrassed.
While trying to hide her expression.
“That’s how much they love you.”
“I-Is that so?”
When I thought Erika’s shyness was cute, she immediately narrowed her eyes and turned serious.
“And, you know, Creare’s suggestion would not be directed only at my father.” “Eh?”
Erika let out a small sigh at my lack of understanding.
“To the three of them, even if it’s a lie, it’s as if uncle had an affair with me. That’s not funny, is it? I mean, it would hurt all three of them, wouldn’t it?” I hadn’t thought that far ahead. Luxion says. [Creare’s suggestion was a double-edged sword] I’m glad I decided not to accept it.
Erika makes me aware of the feelings of the three of them, but when my expression clouds over, she asks me with concern.
While clasping her hands in front of her chest.
“Uncle, are you sure you’re okay with the war? I believe you, but this one time I think even uncle will be in trouble.”
If all the neighboring countries become enemies, it is inevitable that the kingdom will suffer damage, no matter how much Luxion is involved.
The Raschel matter is a real annoyance, but I can’t have my lovely niece worrying about it.
Well, when I say niece, I mean in a previous life.
“Don’t worry. Me and Luxion will do something about it.”
I reach over to Luxion and give him a light poke with my fingertips.
Then Luxion distances himself from me.
[It is always me who does something about it, though. Master always pushes the troublesome things on me.]
To my partner, who is as foul-mouthed as usual, I make light talk.
“Because I believe you can do it well.”
[Even to me, as artificial intelligence, it sounds like a flimsy line with no feeling.]
“A~Ah, I don’t like twisted artificial intelligence. Why don’t you accept what I, your master, have to say to you more honestly? You need to be cuter.”
[The words of Master who just doesn’t lie, but doesn’t tell the truth? You must be joking.]
“When I give a rare compliment, this is what I get. Even then, he usually tells me to give him more compliments. Erika, this is the kind of guy Luxion is.” I told Erika about Luxion.
This time, on the contrary, Luxion tells Erika about me.
[Erika, don’t believe the words of Master. Even though he has a previous life, his mind is still that of a child who can’t be honest. If you need anything, please talk to me.]
“What are you saying to my niece? It would ruin my dignity as her uncle!”
[Such a thing never existed in the first place, so there is no point in worrying about it.] After being told that, I tried to grab Luxion by the hand and Erika started laughing.
When our eyes turn to Erika, she looks embarrassed.
“I’m sorry. I just thought you two looked like you were having fun. Even though you were complaining, I could tell that you two were close.”
Erika blushed a little, and at her words, Luxion and I turned our heads away.
“Who, with this guy?”
[It’s just a master-servant relationship.]
Seeing us like that, it was Erika who was laughing as if she was in trouble.
―― Now, for the sake of my lovely niece, I’ll have to do something about the Holy Kingdom of Raschel.
