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 16

——————–

This person is the true savior who will save our Elf Kingdom.

Therefore, Esmeralda-sama and his party are permitted to enter the restricted areas.

And to the elves reading this, if you failed to notice Esmeralda-sama’s overwhelming presence and asked for this permit, reflect deeply.

This person is absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely, absolutely necessary for this world.

You haven’t been rude, have you?

Queen of the Elf Kingdom

57th Monarch

Clophe Luna Austria

“This is…!”

The gatekeeper elf’s expression turned pale in an instant upon seeing the Queen’s permit.

The next day.

After spending the night at the royal castle, we, having rested for one night, were now heading toward the unexplored area of the Elf Kingdom.

Its name… the “Elfria Forest Region.”

This place is littered with rare items and is filled with monsters perfect for grinding experience points.

In building my own empire, it’s best to have as high combat strength as possible. We never know what Princess Yurisia might do.

So, with the intention of retraining myself, I ventured into the “Elfria Forest Region”… but…

“Please don’t read the contents of the permit here… It is a bit embarrassing…”

I remember being told this when I was handed the permit.

At the time, I didn’t understand why the permit would be embarrassing, but now I see that’s what was written.

…But this is just ridiculous.

It doesn’t look like an official document at all.

“My apologies! I had no idea you were so admired by Queen Clophe…!”

The gatekeeper elf bowed deeply, flustered.

“Please, go ahead. I am terribly sorry that someone like myself delayed a person of your stature.”

“No, it’s…”

…Well, the wording may be odd, but the signature section properly uses the royal seal.

There’s no doubt that this permit is genuine, so the gatekeeper had no choice but to let us through.

“Heh… well, as long as you understand. Don’t worry about it.”

Even when faced with an unexpected situation, a true villain should not be unnerved by such things.

“Let’s go, Rofemia and Mirua. We are the ones who will control the world.”

“Yes, Esmeralda-sama!”

Both of my subordinates respond with a bounce, their large breasts swaying.

“Hahahahaha…”

In conclusion, I became incredibly strong.

I prioritized patrolling areas where high-experience monsters like Golden Ants and Silver Slimes respawned quickly.

Before they could attempt to flee, I would kill them with the only flame magic effective against them – Deathfire Lock.

It’s a strategy I’ve used countless times in the game to deal with these types of monsters that have both high agility and high defense.

It seems I may have a strong gamer qualities after all.

“I can’t take it anymore, Prince Esmeralda…”

“I’m a bit tired too…”

While Mirua and Rofemia sat down to rest,

“Hahahahahaha! Is that all you’ve got, monsters?!”

I couldn’t contain the thrill of leveling up and continued to hunt monsters relentlessly.

…I remember when I was younger, I could easily spend a whole day playing games.

After I joined society, I lost the energy to do so, but perhaps that was always my true nature.

Five hours of sleep is enough.

Meals can be quick.

I spent every waking moment leveling up, and even during breaks, all I could think about was the game.

…That’s what being a gamer is all about, isn’t it?

“You’re amazing, Esmeralda-sama, too stoic…”

“Indeed, it is only natural that I would be surpassed…”

The two of them seemed to have misunderstood something, but anyway, I spent a whole week holed up in the “Elfria Forest Region”.

Esmeralda Dia Vefeld Level 50

Physical Attack Power: 5035

Physical Defense Power: 4803

Magical Attack Power: 5498

Magical Defense Power: 4769

Agility: 5002

——————–

…Yeah, definitely stronger than the game’s protagonist.

At level 50, the protagonist would barely have four digits in physical attack power.

Esmeralda, though lazy, had talents that far surpassed the protagonist’s.

To be specific, the protagonist’s stats in the game were something like this:

——————–

Physical Attack Power: Around 3500

Physical Defense Power: Around 3200

Magical Attack Power: Around 2000

Magical Defense Power: Around 1700

Agility: Around 3900

——————–

I don’t remember the exact numbers, but it was clear that there was an overwhelming difference compared to the protagonist, who is also called the savior of the world.
