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 89

Episode 89

Her gaze was fixed on the monster in the sky, which looked like a Grim Reaper.

If possible, I’d like Lady Fylia to stay away from here, but I was also a bit curious. Having Lady Fylia, who was already dead in the main story, present—what kind of impact would that have on the narrative?

There was also a chance that Lady Fylia might be related to the irregularities happening now. Whether that’s a good or bad thing, I can’t say, but having her around might help us understand something.

“I understand. That monster’s identity is unknown. Stay behind me at all times.”

“…Understood.”

Lady Fylia nodded. I turned my gaze to the older soldier who still looked pale.

“I’m taking command of this city. Any objections?”

“N-no! None at all!”

“We’re going to start the monster extermination operation within the barrier. Endria’s soldiers who are confident in their magic, come with us. The rest, focus on guarding the city.”

I gave orders to the soldiers with me. Honestly, the soldiers of this city weren’t that skilled. Currently, only the soldiers of Validor and some in the royal capital are considered excellent.

“Understood! We’ll move out immediately!”

“The magic unit will start fighting here at this mansion. Come here if necessary.”

“Understood!”

“Also, bring Suzaku and Serin, who should be in this city, to me.”

“Understood!”

Alright. That should do it. I don’t know how strong Suzaku and Serin are, but they might help in the battle.

At least Suzaku is a good-natured, heroic character. Serin might be reluctant, though. As soon as I finished giving orders, the soldiers began to move, and I used spatial magic to join Zangell and the others who were waiting outside with Lady Fylia.

“…This magic is always so convenient. Being able to travel long distances even when transfer stones can’t be used.”

“But it consumes a lot of magic power.”

“Are you okay for now?”

“I’ve trained hard, so I can handle this much without any problems.”

If it was right after I reincarnated, using it this casually would have depleted my magic and caused me to faint.

“Who are Suzaku and Serin?”

“According to the information broker, Bright was doing some shady things behind the scenes. He was capturing people he liked and trying to enslave them. They are two of his victims.”

“He was doing such things?”

Lady Fylia’s eyes narrowed dangerously. Scary! If I don’t explain, her anger might turn towards me.

“I intended to deal with it eventually, so I warned Bright not to do it again. I was considering removing him from managing this city if he did it again, but he messed up right away.”

“I see. I apologize for leaving the cleanup to you.”

“It’s our problem to begin with, so don’t worry. However, there are still many things I haven’t fully grasped yet, as I’ve only just taken over.”

I’m grateful that Lady Fylia is so understanding. For now, I’m not being held responsible for any mistakes made by the people in my domain.

…Maybe I could ask Lady Fylia to inspect the unclear tax calculations and suspicious money movements once I have the facts. Her authority would likely make the explanations more acceptable than if they came from someone like me.

Well first of all, it’s less likely she will direct her hostility towards me. I’ve saved her life, so it’s reasonable to ask for this kind of cooperation. Though, from Lady Fylia’s perspective, it might seem like a sudden request. Anyway, now that I’ve finished making excuses to Lady Fylia, I gave orders to Zangell.

“Zangell, have the soldiers attack the monsters with magic and skills from here.”

“Understood!”

Following my command, Zangell drew his sword. The soldiers also readied their weapons,

“Fire!”
