Part 1

Raschel Holy Magic Kingdom.

In the capital city, which exists on a lake called the White City, the chief ministers gathered in the royal castle.

In front of the dignitaries kneeling in the audience chamber was a white-haired old man sitting on a throne.

The Prime Minister, standing by his side, reports to the old man ―― the Holy King.

“I am pleased to report to His Majesty the Great. The fiend knight, whom the barbarians called a hero, turned to support the Horfalt royal family.”

The Holy King rises from his throne, stroking his magnificent beard with his hand.

“The behavior of the fiend knight is unacceptable. Send a personal letter to each country. Like, if the fiend knights born in the Horfalt kingdom are left unchecked, the surrounding countries will be destroyed by all means.”

When the chief ministers responded with a downcast look, the Prime Minister praised the Holy King’s judgment.

“It’s a wonderful decision. Let’s take this opportunity to attack the Horfalt Kingdom and make them submit to us.”

The Holy King strokes his beard and raises his right hand.

“The Horfalt Kingdom will be destroyed by our nation, which has a long history! ――However, the fiend knight has become a good cause. With him, all the nations will feel threatened by the fiend knight, and they will unite.”

Fearing Leon alone, he formed a military alliance with other countries to attack the Horfalt Kingdom.

This became Raschel’s policy.

The Prime Minister conveys his concerns.

“Great Your Majesty, it is a wonderful plan, but there is a problem. ―― I am concerned to see how that ruffian Roland and the black-hearted princess of the United Kingdoms are doing. It’s not surprising that they know our movements.”

The ruffian Roland.

Black-hearted princess Milene.

The Holy King, recalling their names, did not change his expression.

But squint a little.

“I am tired of being bothered by these low-lives with a little history. This time we will not stop fighting until Horfalt is burned to the ground.”

When the Prime Minister kneels, the Holy King continues.

“They may have acquired a powerful lost item and are feeling good about it ―― but in the end, it is only an individual’s power. If neighboring countries invade at once, the Horfalt Kingdom will soon disappear from the map”

The Prime Minister responds immediately.

“It is as Your Majesty say. Then I will hasten the preparation of the Holy Knights for their departure.”

The Holy King brings his right hand forward and then holds his outstretched hand.

“Give victory to our great country!”

Part 2

The royal palace of the Horfalt Kingdom. The chief ministers were quarreling fiercely.

“Are you saying that all the neighboring countries have become enemies?!”

“The Republic is on our side.”

“That country can’t be counted on. They haven’t even recovered yet!”

The Holy Kingdom of Raschel became the leader and called for a military alliance with the neighboring countries of the Horfalt Kingdom.

Normally, they would not have been able to come together, but here, the presence of Leon is becoming a negative impact.

The surrounding countries were frightened of Leon, who alone had destroyed the country.

This military alliance is also intended to cooperate and strike before Leon gains any more power.

Roland let out a deep sigh as he watched the meeting of the chief ministers.

” ―― I didn’t expect my son to duel for the man. Wasn’t that guy after the throne? He wouldn’t be able to have children with a man as his partner.”

Not understanding what Jake was thinking, he looked distracted.

Next to him, Milene gives a cold look.

“How can you think such a thing under the circumstances? All the neighboring countries have become our enemies.”

“The republic and your birthplace are different, aren’t they? We’re not isolated and without help.”

“There is no proper force left in the Arzel Republic. You know that my homeland cannot afford to send out a force either.”

“It’s better than being surrounded by enemies.”

Milene is annoyed with Roland, who doesn’t seem flustered.

“No matter how strong the Duke Bartfalt is, if all the countries attacked us at once, the country would be burned to the ground. Our national strength is declining.”

In addition, the kingdom is being neglected by Lord Nobles.

If Leon called on them, they would follow, but there would also be traitors.

Other countries that invade would gain territory on the continent.

If that happens, that would be a threat.

Roland yawns.

“We’re stuck at the point where we have to rely on just one little boy. Shall we admit defeat and surrender?”

“They will execute me and His Majesty in Raschel. That country has always looked down on us.”

“It’s a country with a long history. Our ancestors came from there, too. I heard that they were low-ranking nobles.”

“It’s not something you can just say out loud.”

The Holy Kingdom of Raschel was about to invade the Horfalt Kingdom.

Roland mutters amusedly.

“Now let’s see how the kid will move”

Part 3

“I want revenge on Roland.”

Luxion and Creare gathered in my room in the student dormitory.

And then there are three of my fiancée Ange, Livia, and Noel.

In addition, Erika was additionally invited to join the meeting to discuss revenge against Roland.

Tea and sweets prepared for everyone are on the table, and a pleasant aroma wafts through the room.

The light coming in through the window was warm and the afternoon of a very pleasant day.

Too wasteful of a day to have a meeting about dangerous topics.

As much as it is unpleasant to have to talk about revenge against Roland on a day like this.

Luxion and Creare look at each other’s lenses once before turning to me and talking to me.

[It’s insane to think about revenge back at Roland as soon as you hear that Raschel has made a move.]

[Master really likes unproductive behavior, right?]

I have just received information that the Holy Kingdom of Raschel is preparing for war against the Horfalt Kingdom.

I had thought they had been moving for some time, but this time they are even involving the neighboring countries of the Horfalt Kingdom.

Ange was looking at me with some anxiety at this situation, or perhaps, and was looking at me with astonishment as we tried to discuss how to get revenge on Roland.

After taking a sip of tea, she gives me a sharp look.

“By the looks of you, it seems you’ve got some countermeasures against Raschel.”

I reach for my tea cakes and grab them with my fingertips. I lift a flat piece of cookie slightly above my gaze and describe it, looking at the front and back.

“That is up to the other party, I guess?”

Noel, slightly annoyed with my attitude, and snatched the cookie I was holding.

“Think about it properly. We’re relying on Leon now, aren’t we?”

From Noel’s perspective, who had experienced war in the Republic of Arzel, my attitude was unacceptable.

I shrug my shoulders.

“I’ll figure something out. But more importantly, I want revenge against Roland now! I need you guys to come up with some ideas.”

There are limits to what I can do alone.

So, to make that Roland suffer, I gathered a group of dependable partners and fiancées.

Livia lets out a small sigh.

“His Majesty seems to be busy at the palace. Leon-san, why don’t you stop fighting with him? The other party is His Majesty the King.”

Indeed, he may be someone to respect, but to me, he is an enemy to hate.

“I’ll never forget the bitterness I have against that guy for giving me a promotion for nothing, and I’m not going to forgive him for pushing the five idiots on me.”

In response to my unwavering determination, Livia finally stopped talking, as if she couldn’t find the right words.

Erika, who was watching the situation, let out a deep sigh.

“Did you call me all the way out here to get revenge on my father?”

Partly because I wanted to invite Erika to a tea party, but also because his daughter would most likely have some clue as to how to harass Roland.

“That bastard Roland really loves Erika-sama. Do you know any secrets that Roland doesn’t like?”

Erika gave me a dumbfounded look.

“Even if I know, I have no intention of telling you. Why doesn’t Duke stop harassing him like a child?”

“Absolutely no”

When I firmly refuse, Luxion and Creare make a gesture of shaking their heads.

And then Luxion offers me a suggestion.

[Then, why not assassinate Roland for good? It will reduce the amount of time wasted worrying about this kind of thing in the future, and it is efficient because one of Master’s worries is gone.]

The suggestion is so bad, that it makes me pull away.

“I don’t like that. If he dies, there will be a lot of unnecessary trouble. I just want to see him suffer.”

After saying that, Ange and Livia looked at each other.

“Really, Leon and His Majesty don’t get along.”

“As long as no one kills each other, we’re still in a peaceful situation.”

I don’t want Roland to die.

I just want him to suffer.

I just want to see the suffering face of that guy who keeps harassing me.

Noel threw the cookie she took from me into her mouth and chewed it somewhat roughly.

“You don’t have to do anything at a time like this.”

She is trying to say that harassing Roland should not be done at this time.

After all, most of the surrounding countries are turning into enemies.

The Holy Kingdom of Raschel is serious about going to war.

This is no time for pranks ―― But.

“It’s because it’s now. At this time, even if I go a little overboard, I can make it disappear. After all, the kingdom is relying on me now.”

Yes, the plan was based on the calculation that the timing would allow for a bit of overkill to be tolerated.

People around me were somewhat taken back by my calculating thoughts.

In the midst of all this, it is Creare who excitedly makes a suggestion.

[Then leave it to me! I’ll show you what a real Brain Break is.]

Brain Break? Do you mean brain destruction?

“Oi, don’t say dangerous things. As expected, it makes me pull back too.”

[Mou! Don’t get me wrong. I really don’t mean to destroy the brain.]

Creare, who made Aaron into Aare-chan, does not have a shred of persuasive power in saying this. But I’m curious, so I’ll confirm the details.

“What then?”

A cheerful Creare tells us in a rather low electronic voice how to inflict indelible damage on Roland.

[Master and Erika-chan will be photographed sleeping in the same bed. Of course, you can’t touch her. We’ll just prepare a picture that will look like after the fact.]

Creare’s suggestion scared me so much that I turned my head away, afraid that Ange and even Livia and Noel had a blank look on their faces.

Erika is holding her forehead with her hand.

“Doing so would bring the Duke to trial for a variety of crimes.”

Messing with a princess who is engaged to a fiancée, that’s going too far.

However, Creare seems to have confidence.

[It’s okay! I’ve made calculations and it’s just barely acceptable. If Master repels Raschel, I’m sure the Kingdom will ignore him now. Or rather, they’ll overlook it!]

If Creare says it, is it right?

I thought about that for a moment, but Ange immediately denied it.

“Sure, they’ll forgive you, but at the same time, I’m sure Milene-sama will be pressing you to take responsibility for that.”

I imagine Milene-san coming on to me and asking me to take responsibility.

I’m getting a little scared.

“I hate responsibility”

When I muttered, Creare began to circle around me.

[It’s all right. We’ll have witnesses, and we’ll just have to prove that you didn’t touch her. Then tell Roland, ‘Your daughter was lovely’.]

I thought.

“You’re the worst”

[——Against the new humans, I think we can do whatever we want. Master, let’s put a stop to Roland’s heart together!]

I shake my head slowly, and Ange, Livia, and Noel get up from their seats to catch Creare without a word.

Ange gave Creare a dark smile.

“I’m sure your suggestion will cause serious heartbreak for His Majesty. But we would be troubled if word got out that Leon had slept with Erika-sama.”

Livia looked at Creare with a big smile.

“Are-chan, let’s talk for a moment. I have to ask you in detail about turning a boy into a girl.”

Caught by the two girls, Creare makes a desperate gesture of resistance. If she really wanted to, it would be easy to get away from them.

But her resistance was kept at a minimum, perhaps because she decided not to hurt my fiancées.

[Wait, both of you! Please listen to me?! This is a time-honored etiquette handed down from ancient times!! And Noel-chan, please don’t laugh and help me!]

Noel, grinning at Creare, raises her hands and flutters them in the air when she asks for help.

“I’m sorry~. I’m pretty pissed off too.”

Creare looks at me as if asking for help.

[Master understands me, right?]

“I don’t understand you one bit”

Sure, I want Roland to suffer, but the way that she tries to do so is just too much.

As the three of them take Creare away, Luxion looks at me and Erika alternately.

[If Master had adopted Creare’s proposal, it would have done great damage to Roland’s mind. If that happened, it would have hindered the future.]

I tell Luxion, who doesn’t understand anything, by putting my hand on the back of my head.

“There are a lot more problems than just Roland. Still, I didn’t think Ange and others would be that angry.”

[I also agree with that.]

I and Luxion were both tilting our heads, but Erika was laughing with her cheeks pulled tight as I was trying to figure out why the three of them were so angry.

“You two, do you really not understand?”

“Did Erika get it? Then tell me.”

Indeed, if I got into the same bed with Erika and took pictures, the three of them would not be amused. But it’s just a prank, so I won’t touch her.

They may not like it, but they shouldn’t be so angry about it.

There is a possibility that Milene-san will press for me and Erika to get married, which will be troublesome ―― but is it enough to make you angry?

Erika looked somewhat dumbfounded, then laced her fingers in front of her mouth, a little embarrassed.

While trying to hide her expression.

“That’s how much they love you.”

“I-Is that so?”

When I thought Erika’s shyness was cute, she immediately narrowed her eyes and turned serious.

“And, you know, Creare’s suggestion would not be directed only at my father.”

“Eh?”

Erika let out a small sigh at my lack of understanding.

“To the three of them, even if it’s a lie, it’s as if uncle had an affair with me. That’s not funny, is it? I mean, it would hurt all three of them, wouldn’t it?”

I hadn’t thought that far ahead. Luxion says.

[Creare’s suggestion was a double-edged sword]

I’m glad I decided not to accept it.

Erika makes me aware of the feelings of the three of them, but when my expression clouds over, she asks me with concern.

While clasping her hands in front of her chest.

“Uncle, are you sure you’re okay with the war? I believe you, but this one time I think even uncle will be in trouble.”

If all the neighboring countries become enemies, it is inevitable that the kingdom will suffer damage, no matter how much Luxion is involved.

The Raschel matter is a real annoyance, but I can’t have my lovely niece worrying about it.

Well, when I say niece, I mean in a previous life.

“Don’t worry. Me and Luxion will do something about it.”

I reach over to Luxion and give him a light poke with my fingertips.

Then Luxion distances himself from me.

[It is always me who does something about it, though. Master always pushes the troublesome things on me.]

To my partner, who is as foul-mouthed as usual, I make light talk.

“Because I believe you can do it well.”

[Even to me, as artificial intelligence, it sounds like a flimsy line with no feeling.]

“A~Ah, I don’t like twisted artificial intelligence. Why don’t you accept what I, your master, have to say to you more honestly? You need to be cuter.”

[The words of Master who just doesn’t lie, but doesn’t tell the truth? You must be joking.]

“When I give a rare compliment, this is what I get. Even then, he usually tells me to give him more compliments. Erika, this is the kind of guy Luxion is.”

I told Erika about Luxion.

This time, on the contrary, Luxion tells Erika about me.

[Erika, don’t believe the words of Master. Even though he has a previous life, his mind is still that of a child who can’t be honest. If you need anything, please talk to me.]

“What are you saying to my niece? It would ruin my dignity as her uncle!”

[Such a thing never existed in the first place, so there is no point in worrying about it.]

After being told that, I tried to grab Luxion by the hand and Erika started laughing.

When our eyes turn to Erika, she looks embarrassed.

“I’m sorry. I just thought you two looked like you were having fun. Even though you were complaining, I could tell that you two were close.”

Erika blushed a little, and at her words, Luxion and I turned our heads away.

“Who, with this guy?”

[It’s just a master-servant relationship.]

Seeing us like that, it was Erika who was laughing as if she was in trouble.

―― Now, for the sake of my lovely niece, I’ll have to do something about the Holy Kingdom of Raschel.
