I, who was reincarnated as the villain character in a game, was secretly enjoying my role as the villain while pulling off heroic moves behind the scenes. However, my actions were exposed to my fiancée, who absolutely despises me - Episode 50

Episode 50

“…This might be the last time we do this sniffing thing.”

Don’t phrase it weirdly.

Reem presses her nose against my chest as if to mourn.

…Reem being here is probably irregular.

Her presence here likely resulted from increasing her encounters with me.

And she’s not the only irregular one.

Characters like Ruf, Inaesia, and Vilias… characters who shouldn’t be here are gathered here.

But above all.

The biggest irregularity here is me.

I’ll change the future.

Not just the future where Fylia-sama dies, but the future of everyone in this city.

That’s when I decided.

Zangell knocks on the door.

“…Lord Reis.”

“What is it?”

“…We’ve received information that Lord Roubel and the others have left the city.”

Yeah.

I sighed and nodded at Zangell’s words.

In this event where Fylia-sama will die, Reis-kun will also suffer a serious injury, losing an arm. That’s what you can hear from Reem in the game, and she talks about it gleefully like “serves him right.”

I don’t know the specific reason why it happened.

Was it because he stayed in the city and fought, or was it because he tried to evacuate alone and was attacked by monsters?

Either way, Reis-kun will probably be left behind, and I never thought Father would muster the courage to fight.

After letting Fylia-sama escape, he probably intended to escape himself.

Well, even if I know, I don’t intend to point it out.

It’s bothersome and I’d rather not be scolded.

Rather, this situation is convenient for me.

Just as I hear hurried footsteps, Fylia-sama enters.

“Reis-san! Something terrible happened! Mr. Roubel and the others are not in the mansion!”

“Yes, I heard just now.”

“…Have they already headed towards the west gate?”

“No, it seems they were spotted riding horses from the east gate.”

“Huh?”

Fylia-sama’s voice trembles with bewilderment. She seems incredulous or unwilling to believe it, then her expression turns grim.

“…What does this mean?”

“They probably won’t participate in this battle.”

“…Are they serious? Is that the decision of the Validor family?”

Fylia-sama trembles with anger.

If this continues, I might get involved in her anger.

“But, depending on how you look at it, it could be lucky.”

“…What’s lucky about it? The leaders of this city fled in front of the enemy, you know?”

“Normally, morale would indeed drop, and the situation would become dire… But Father isn’t particularly admired by anyone, so there’s no need to worry about that.”

He’s somewhat admired by the family, at least.

I’ve been giving them things they like, after all.

“But then, who will command the soldiers?”

Fylia-sama asks.

Well, of course.

“I will.”

At this moment, I become the highest authority in this city.

When I declare so, Zangell bows deeply.

“This will be Lord Reis’ first battle. We’ll make you a hero even if it costs us our lives!”

“Please value your lives. Zangell. Gather all the soldiers at the west gate immediately. Also, gather the servants who can participate in the battle.”

“Understood!”

“For other messenger duties, contact the guild and inform the people of the city about the current situation here. Make sure not to incite panic.”

With instructions to Zangell and the soldiers, everyone starts moving with vigor.

In no time, the news spreads throughout the mansion, and despite it being right before the battle, everyone’s spirits are quite high.

Even though there are many dangerous monsters in the Forest of Rebellion.

Fylia-sama also seems surprised by this.

…Well, I didn’t expect morale to rise this much, but I also didn’t think morale would drop even if I took command of the battle.

For now, I have to prepare for battle at the west gate.
