𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟑𝟒: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧 《𝐂𝐢𝐝 𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞》
In a dim underground dungeon.
I am currently lying on the hard stone floor with handcuffs on.
The cold chains that make a clanking sound when I move even a little are uncomfortable, but since my hands were in front of me, I could do quite a few things.
I am the only one here right now.
By the sudden appearance of King Henry of Fumble, Vi-sama and I were separated.
But in a sense, this is a convenient situation.
I can do things without her witnessing me getting my hands dirty. Surely, while I’m in this fortress, I will do things I don’t want her to see. Without a doubt.
From the conversations of the guards and the interactions with the thief in the neighboring cell, I learned that this country intends to pick a fight with Roselia.
They must be idiots.
Even if they want territory, there are good countries and bad countries that they should or shouldn’t mess with.
Even if they invade without declaring war, Fumble will be at an absolute disadvantage.
It’s not a matter of national power.
It’s because Roselia has the Duke Marcus family.
And they have a territory by the sea that leans towards Fumble.
Try doing something to Vi-sama, and you’ll have magical cannons fired at the castle. Not only Henry, but none of the people here are aware of that threat.
Well, that’s because I’ve been hiding it all along. . .
“Sigh, how troublesome.”
It’s not entirely wrong to say that I kidnapped Viara-sama, but I don’t want to be exploited. Ethan-sama would scold me!!
He may appear to be a quiet and good young man, but in the mansion, he’s a completely dangerous person.
Because he’s timid and can’t complain face-to-face, when it comes to fighting, he plans strategies to the extreme and aims for victory with excessive force.
And his love for his sister is immeasurable.
If I anger such a person, I will surely be involved as well.
“This is bad. . .”
I have to handle this secretly and urgently.
I don’t want a magical gun shoved into my mouth. If it comes down to a fight between purple spinels, the more malicious one will win. . .
Well, I won’t lose either.
Henry probably won’t commit the foolish act of starting a war today or tomorrow.
I don’t think Viara-sama will be subjected to any rough treatment for a while, so for now, I’ll let my mother and the others escape and, while I’m at it, search for anything that could be a weakness for Henry and seize it.
The moderate faction’s second prince might be useful.If I can grasp his weakness and deliver it to him, he might even initiate a coup. I have no intention of being involved with Fumble for long, so I want them to do as they please.
All I desire is Vi-sama’s peace.
“Alright, then. . .”
I wipe the blood off my mouth with the back of my hand and sit up, leaning against the wall.
When I was thrown into the cell, Henry came to see my face on purpose.
[Well done for safely bringing Miss Viara here.]
For some reason, I was thanked, and when I laughed with my nose, I was struck in the face.
[Depending on you, her fate will change. Will she become my legal wife and live elegantly in this country, or will she become a disposable pawn? Don’t forget that everything depends on your efforts.]
Making Viara-sama his legal wife.
The moment I heard that, I thought, “It’s time for a bloodbath.”
So I told him.
[Don’t forget your own insignificance.]
He must have been quite irritated because he hit me a few times.
I was startled.
He was so weak that I worried if i could pretend to be in pain convincingly.
Besides, it was my first experience in life.
Even though I was being punched by someone else, I bit my own mouth and let the blood flow.
I thought if I didn’t shed some blood, it would affect his pride.
I was considerate.
[Hahaha! I want to show that pathetic face to Miss Viara!]
He said with a twisted face of madness.
Once again, I was startled.
I was uneasy because it might have revealed that it didn’t hurt.
Perhaps he thought I was afraid of being tortured because I had been put in magical handcuffs.
But unfortunately, I didn’t feel an ounce of fear.
While Henry was laughing hysterically, my mind was filled with thoughts like, “Oh no, I bit too hard. The blood is gushing out like crazy.”. . .!
And on top of that, he committed a taboo.
It seems like he succeeded in enslaving a demon beast.
He kindly informed me about the surprise attack plan on Roselia.
“Let the water-based demon beasts attack Roselia from the sea. With numerous demon beasts attacking from the sea, there will be no way to fight back.”
Unbelievable.
If that happens. . .if that happens. . .!!
The Laussu seaweed will disappear!!
Does Henry know how much Viara-sama has dedicated her life to creating tamagoyaki with it!?
I won’t forgive you, Henry!!
I have decided to absolutely stop the plan.
Oh, that’s right. Now that I think about it, even the prison guards here got cocky and tried to hit me, but it was more like, “Huh? Are you petting me?” than anything.
The young men of Duke Marcus’s family attack with enough power to blow your head off if you let your guard down during training, so these guys here are completely lacking in killing intent. . .
Vi-sama’s retorts and when she hits me out of embarrassment are much more painful.
They should try putting themselves in my shoes, pretending to be casually defeated.
It’s incredibly difficult, you know.
