Reincarnated as the Hated Villainous Prince, I Thought I Could Live Freely in This Life, but Unconsciously Acted Like a Saint ~Trying to Create an Evil Kingdom, but for Some Reason I'm Highly Respected by Everyone~ - Chapter 14

“Phew…”

By the time I sheathed my sword, Gruboa had already stopped moving.

Of course, I didn’t kill him, but I didn’t hold back on the final blow either. He won’t be waking up anytime soon, and even if he does, he won’t be able to move easily.

And it seems the same happened on the other side…

“Begone.”

Zudoon!!

With a tremendous roar, Mirua unleashed an incredible shockwave.

I think it was the impact from swinging her sword, but that alone is cracking the walls – just how powerful is she?

Even if Rofemia’s magic is boosting her attack power… that’s still an insane amount of force.

It’s clear that Mirua’s stats are stronger.

With so many experience-rich monsters nearby, it’s a must to train in the Elf Kingdom.

“We did it, Mirua.”

“Yes! I gave it my all for you, Esmeralda-sama!”

Right, what on earth happened?

Mirua seems even more lively than before… The way she looks at me, her eyes are somewhat dreamy…

Anyway, after this battle, her adoration for me seems to have increased, or is it just me?

“I, I did my best too!”

Rofemia, the First Princess, says while her large breasts sway.

Though she’s still lacking in stats, she’ll become a cheat-level magician once she grows. My abilities as Esmeralda are also outstanding; this is definitely going to be an outrageous party in the future…

…Or maybe it already is.

“What…?”

And the most surprised by this outcome is Queen Clophe.

Well, of course.

Not only was the Elf Kingdom’s information leaked, but humans were lurking in the royal castle. It’s understandable that she can’t believe it.

I also have many doubts about this incident.

Firstly, their strategy is too sloppy.

Despite being invisible at first, the soldiers were already dressed in military uniforms, which is like revealing their identities to the enemy. And Gruboa was openly proclaiming this was “Yurisia’s work.”

Such a sloppy strategy was one thing, but would Yurisia really make such a foolish move…?

This is completely deviating from the main storyline of the game scenario, so I still don’t understand what’s going on.

But I thought Queen Clophe was worried about this too…

“Amazing! To defeat those skilled warriors in an instant like that!”

“………eh?”

“I see now why my daughter is so devoted to you! Esmeralda-sama is absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely essential to the Elf Kingdom! Please forgive my earlier rudeness!”

Queen Clophe prostrates before me…

…Hey, hey, this is weird.

It’s strange for the Queen to address me with an honorific, and it’s even stranger for her to prostrate herself.

This is what it means to be dumbfounded.

It makes me, who was seriously contemplating the situation, look foolish, but then I remember.

I came to the Elf Kingdom to strengthen myself.

If Yurisia causes trouble in the future, it’s better to be stronger either way.

Considering these points, it’s better for Queen Clophe to remain infatuated with me.

In the game’s setting, there are many places in the Elf Kingdom that can’t be accessed without the Queen’s permission. Naturally, those places are where powerful items are hidden.

“Heh heh heh…”

So, with a meaningful smirk, I look down at the prostrating Queen.

“I’m glad you understand. I’ll protect the Elf Kingdom to retaliate against the King of Vefeld. I’m free to explore this country, right?”

“Yes, of course, of course, of course, of course, of course, absolutely, naturally, yes yes yes!”

The Queen begins to lick my boots…

…What kind of play is this?

“Mo, Mother…”

First Princess Rofemia blushes with embarrassment at the side, but honestly, I think they’re both as bad as each other.
