Iโm Reborn as a Villainous Lord Who Gets Killed by a Hero, and Because I Trained Too Hard in the Beginning, I End up Taking the Heroโs Position~Iโm Being Targeted by a Resentful Hero, but Iโm Completely Unaware of It~
“Ooga sama, do you have time after this?โ
After the student council meeting, I was stopped by Estelle.
I hadn’t spoken to Estelle once since the incident at the Luna orphanage.
Well, a lot happened at the end. โฆโฆ
–I want to be a slave of Ooga-sama.
That time, Estelle said that to me and hugged me.
I don’t know how to accept those words.
Does โslaveโ mean literally โslaveโ โฆโฆ?
In short, it means an existence that obeys whatever the master commands.
Maybe that’s not it.
Estelle is a proud knight as well as a noblewoman.
People call her the โPrincess Knight of Ice,โ a girl without feelings.
The โslaveโ that Estelle refers to is surely not a โslaveโ in the ordinary sense of the word.
She must be saying it in some deep, symbolic sense. โฆโฆ
โI have โฆโฆ time. Butโฆ.โ
“What is it?โ
“We’re classmates, can you stop calling me sama?โ
“Eh, โฆโฆ, that’sโฆ”
“I’m not a great person who needs to be addressed as sama”
โI’m sorry, โฆโฆ. I cannot give up on calling you Ooga sama''. Because to me, Ooga-sama is agreat” and respectable'' person who deserves to be called with thesama” name.”
ใ
Estelle bows her head deeply.
It’s hard to refuse when someone so politely asks you to be called by the “sama” prefix.
ใ
โฆโฆI see.I think I understand.
I’m sure Estelle wants to keep her distance from me.
I think she wants to draw a line between me and her by daring to call me that
Politeness is also a kind of โwall of the mind.”
Maybe she is a marquise and calls all men by โsamaโโฆโฆ
But still, I don’t know why you’re asking about my after-school plans. โฆโฆ
โOh, um,โฆโฆ since Ooga-sama and I are on the same student council, I thought we could get to know each other better,โฆโฆ.โ
“Thank you. I want to get to know Estelle as well.”
“โฆ.!!”
Estelle’s face quickly turns red.
What is it?
Did I perhaps say something unpleasant โฆโฆ?
I may have been a little too familiar with the โPrincess Knight of the Ice.”
โโฆ.. just recently, a restaurant serving the local cuisine of my territory opened in King’s Town, and I thought we could go eat there together.”
I think it is the local cuisine of Estelle’s domain, the Marquess of Beathardt’s domain. โฆโฆ
In the game, Estelle also had a date event in which Estelle invited him to a restaurant serving local cuisine.
She went on a date with the main character Weiss and afterwards โฆโฆ
The two of them do something erotic together–
No, no โฆโฆ that is indeed not the case.
I’m a villainous lord
There’s no way that’s going to happen. โฆโฆ right?
โ
“Hey. Isn’t that the Princess Knight of Ice?”
“She’s so beautiful in person. โฆโฆ!”
โKyaa! Estelle-sama!!”
The royal city of Grandide, where the Septerion Academy of Magic is located.
I and Estelle were in the merchant district in the center of Grandide.
People on the street were shouting yellow.
Estelle, the princess knight of ice, is quite famous in the royal city.
Two years ago, Estelle received a commendation from the king for single-handedly slaying a dragon that attacked the city.
She is so popular among both men and women that a secret fan club has been formed.
โฆโฆI think that’s how it was set up.
โWho’s the man next to her โฆโฆ?โ
โCould that be the Duke of Bryant, the villainous lord of Bryant?”
โDamn โฆโฆ! Why is he walking with Estelle sama?!!”
The popular Estelle and me, the villainous lord with the worst reputation, walking together is a sight that most people can’t imagine.
I’m getting a lot of hate because of it.
โOoga-sama, may I ask you to hold my hand?โ
“Eh?”
โIn my territory, when a young lady walks with a lord, there is a custom of holding hands.โ
“I-Is that so? โฆโฆThen
I hold hands with Estelle.
Her hands are white and clean.
Or rather, the custom of holding handsโฆwas there such a setting?
ใ
It is true that there was a date event holding hands with the main character Weiss,โฆโฆ.
“Thank you very much. I won’t let go of your hand today.”
โThen it’s like you can’t eat your dinner?”
“That’s fine with me.”
“Is that part of the Beathard custom?”
“Y-Yes, it is. โฆโฆ!”
It’s a very unusual custom. โฆโฆ
Well, the world is a big place, and there are countries where people hold hands all the time when eating โฆโฆ?
“โฆ.!”
โCan I help you? Ooga sama”
“I felt a strong presence of murder.”
I felt it on the way back to the student council chambers.
There is a very evil monster nearby,โฆโฆ!
“Is someone after you?”
“No, I don’t think so. โฆโฆ”
The Marquise of Bryant is an aristocrat famous for being a vicious lord.
Moreover, they are in the nobility-first faction.
There was a conflict with the opposing commoner faction in the game, so it might not be strange if someone was targeting meโฆ?
โIf there is anyone who wants to kill Ooga-sama, please tell me. I will cut them down immediately.”
