Betrayed by My Best Friend and Dumped by My Fiancée, I’ve Decided to Enjoy Life as I Please ~ For Some Reason, a Bunch of Crazy Fanatics Keep Pledging Their Loyalty to Me~
My name is Richard Drever.
I am the first prince of the Draver Empire, the largest nation on this continent and a member of the World Alliance, of which almost all human nations are members.
“Ahhha! I finally got rid of that guy!”
Until now, I had been patient.
It was painful to have to talk to a commoner, a war orphan whose identity you don’t even know, even if it was just an act.
Well, I’ll forgive him because I had just betrayed his trust in me and let him see the look of despair on his face.
“Ufufu ……as expected. Richard-sama.”
The woman sitting on my lap with her arms around my neck is Natasha, a former commoner who was chosen by heaven to become a saint.
She is a former commoner, but her saintly foil is not only a perfect match for the first prince of the empire, but she is also a good woman who will let you do her right away.
She has a good face and a nice figure, so much so that I almost feel sorry for that guy who was dumped by Natasha.
Well, I fired him!
“That guy was on a roll, even for a commoner.”
“He’s just a piece of trash who rose to the S level on our merit. If it weren’t for Lady Natasha, I wouldn’t have let him join the party in the first place.”
The other party members agreed one after another.
Although their ulterior motive of trying to gain power is clearly visible, they seem to be genuinely saying that they wanted to get rid of that guy as soon as possible.
Well…I’m blessed to have friends with the same intentions.
“You’re absolutely right. All he could do was run around a bit! He can’t fight like us!”
“He’s always been this weird guy who didn’t know what he was thinking. …… I’m glad I’m Richard’s woman instead of that guy.”
Now I feel good anyway.
Natasha is now mine, both in name and in reality, and there’s no one standing in my way.
And with the useless one gone, the Sword of Heaven has truly become the strongest in the true sense of the word.
No quest is against us.
“Let’s go on a quest just to cheer ourselves up.”
“That sounds good. It will be a new start for the new Sword of Heaven.”
“Now is the time to show the world what we are really capable of, since we have been slowed down so far!”
Everyone agreed and stood up.
I nodded in satisfaction and raised my fist in the air.
“Let’s show them what we can do!”
“””Oo!”””

“Do you have any S-level quests?”
We had come to the guild to get a quest.
We had a private booth as Sword of the Heaven, and we approached the dedicated receptionist.
“T-there are no S class quests available at this time, but there are A class quests available. ……”
“Can’t help it…. I’ll take it then. Hurry up and arrange it.”
“Y-yes”
The receptionist disappeared into the back of the room.
I sighed and turned to my friends to make sure no one was around.
“What’s the fun in having to talk to such a commoner? That incompetent is only useful when it comes to chores like this.”
“Gyahaha! When it came to chores, he was first class.”
“If the need arises, we can buy a slave to do it.”
“Hahaha! I don’t even want to talk to a lowly person, but considering the fact that they can be used as toys, that might be a good idea!”
It is legal to do anything with slaves who have no human rights.
I used to enjoy buying and destroying slaves many times.
It might be good to have fun with that again after a long time.
“I-I’m sorry to keep you waiting. The procedure has been completed.”
“Thank you. I appreciate your help.”
“Ha……I-If this much is all you need!”
What were you thinking to make me wait…..
The only thing is that I don’t show my annoyance because I’m wearing the facade of the perfect looking prince.
All I have to do is smile a little and the women are immediately obedient.
It’s a breeze.
I take a document from the receptionist and hand it to the guy behind her.
As soon as he receives it, he starts looking over the documents.
“Hou…… you’re going to take down the ice phoenix? The strength is not much, the location is close to here, and the rewards are good.”
“I see. Then, let’s start now.”
“Oh, um, …… don’t you need to do some preliminary inspection or scouting ……?”
I managed to hold back the feeling of not giving my opinion and smiled.
So Rex was doing that preliminary inspection without permission.
If you were as strong as us, you wouldn’t need something like that, so why would you do such a wasteful thing?
“It’s all right. We never fail.”
“I-I see …… I am sorry for interrupting your conversation.”
I left the place thinking that it was really an afterthought.
…… Really, let’s have such overwhelming success that you will never be able to give us your opinion again.

“Blizzard Phoenix has been spotted near here.”
The party members led us to a rocky mountain with poor visibility.
The area was quiet and devils were few and far between.
“It is difficult to determine the exact location of the Blizzard Phoenix because it is a ‘migrant,’ but it would not be surprising if it were here, given the ecology of the Blizzard Phoenix.”
Migration is when a demon that is not supposed to be here is found in a different place for some reason.
The blizzard phoenix is a cold place that should be in the snowfields, but it has been defeated in a territorial dispute and has migrated to this area.
“Hmph, Blizzard Phoenix is not an enemy of ours, deploy your search magic immediately.”
““Yes.””
Two of the support staff replied and immediately deployed their search magic.
I was prepared for not being able to find it, but that time came sooner than I expected.
“!!There is a huge magical reaction in the direction of three o’clock, about 500 meters away! There is a high possibility that it is the target!”
“Phew, I see. All of you charge in at three o’clock. We will eliminate the target quickly.”
The vanguard was the first to respond to my command.
However, everyone wanted to take credit, so sooner or later they all started running toward the Blizzard Phoenix.
“Kiiii！！！！”
“This roar …… definitely him”
At the end of the run, a bird with blue body hair and a physique that must have been over three meters.
It’s an A-class monster and you can’t deal with it with average strength.
“It is no match for us. We will defeat it immediately!”
At the moment each of them was about to attack, numerous magic circles appeared with the roar of the Blizzard Phoenix.
Sharp blades of ice rained down in large numbers, and although we took evasive action, some of us were slightly wounded or even bleeding because we were struck in the face by the blizzard.
The blizzard phoenix is supposed to be able to use breath, but not magic.
“Damn… it’s a mutant… Natasha is injured, but she should recover. The vanguard and rear guard will work together to defeat that guy.”
Mutants are literally demons that have different characteristics from normal demons due to mutation.
The unexpected situation is upsetting, but as the name “elite” implies, we immediately start to work together as instructed.
However, things are not going well.
The coordination breaks down at the crucial moment, giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage.
Without a strategy, everyone tries to force their way through with their own abilities, but they keep getting in each other’s way and it doesn’t go well.
“Why …… why can’t we beat this mook right off the bat ……!”
“Kiiiii！！！！！！!”
The deafening roar created a magic circle so huge that it filled the sky.
The sheer size rendered me speechless.
And even though it was late, I knew that this monster had not come to this area after losing a territorial dispute.
Clearly, this thing is more than just a Blizzard Phoenix.
“P-prevent it! ！！！”
◇◆◇
After that, news of the defeat of the Blizzard Phoenix mutant by the Sword of Heaven was rife in town.
However, one adventurer said
Despite having many S-class adventurers, the Sword of heaven was actually driven to the brink of annihilation.
The rumors were quickly drowned out, but they left an invisible wedge in the hearts of those who heard about them.

par for the course with these kicked out of party trope novels. Still enjoyable, wish the author for the other betrayal novel posted on this site also focused on the karma instead of nonstop action. Thanks for the translations.
