Otome Game Mob Villain - Chapter 97

“Rid, are you aware that you’re going a bit far?”

“What do you mean ……?”

I dared to ask him with a dubious expression on my face, though I somehow felt I knew what he was talking about.

At that moment, Deanna looked at me with a slight roll of her eyes.

Father let out a sigh and shook his head.

‘Huh,…… that’s about it. Rid, do you know what they call you among the Renalute nobility now?”

“No, I don’t know. ……”

Father’s eyebrows twitched, and he smiled and laughed wryly, “Hmph,…….

“Let me tell you.” Starting with frontier prodigies, there are a variety of them: qilinji, prospective, out-of-the-box, genius, gem, and so on.”

“… That seems to be a bit of an over-rated list.”

I responded to the list of words I was told, with my face tense up.

It was easy to imagine that it was because of the oratory, martial arts, and magic I had performed when I met with Fara.

Father was smiling wryly as he looked at me.

‘And to top it all off, here it is…….’

After he finished, he picked up an envelope that was on his desk.

He flicked the envelope beside his face in dismay and then placed it carelessly in front of me.

With a suspicious look on my face, I took the envelope in my hand.

The envelope contained a confidential document that I had received from him, in which he expressed his desire to become your personal attendant in the future.

“What is it?　you are still a child, aren’t you?　Besides, you came to this country for the marriage with Princess Fara, and you are too bold and brazen to ask him to be your personal attendant.”

The shocking words startled me so much that I dropped the envelope in my hand and stood up vigorously.

What was I thinking?

Do you think the Bardia family is unprincipled, wanting to be the side chamber of someone who might even marry a princess of their own country?

It is beyond rude at this point.

“The nobles who sent this envelope are apparently from the ‘Norris’ faction, according to Mister Zack. The reason is that they are being watched closely by His Majesty Elias and Zack because of this case. They are so concerned with their own actions that they don’t even realize that they are going to anger the …… other party.”

Unusually, I could immediately see the anger in Father’s face and in the words he spoke.

However, not expecting another round of aftermath from his downfall, I questioned my father with a suspicious expression on my face.

“What do you intend to do about the marriage proposal ……?””

“I would refuse all of them, of course. I have already talked to Zack about it. He said he would take the necessary measures.”

I sat down on the sofa with a look of relief on my face.

As soon as I sat down, he said with a grim look on his face,

“But, Rid, this is your fault for overdoing it, isn’t it?”

“Is it because I overdid it, ……?”

I replied with a stunned look on my face, and he continued.

“Yes, you have shown too many people your talents in argument, martial arts, and magic, particularly the magic you showed Norris. , in particular, was too far. That was too much. His Majesty Elias has put a gag order on it, but I am sure there are many who would like to have that spell in their hands. Perhaps it is one of the pieces of information Capella is after.”

Father’s words made me reflect on what Sandra had said to me.

I had been told that the magic was “out of sight, out of mind,” but I had thoughtlessly used it publicly.

I guess that made me even more of an attention draw, and that’s why they sent me a marriage proposal and a capella.

“…. that look on your face, you seem to have understood a little that you’ve gone too far.”

“Yes…… I am sorry.”

Father looked relieved when he saw how I had reflected on the situation.

Then he shifted his attention to Deanna and said.

“Deanna, I think you understand now that Rid has a tendency to overdo things without knowing how much to take. I want you to support him from now on in a position of warning him. I don’t mind if he makes a few comments if that’s what it takes. Will you do it?”

Deanna heard my father’s words and replied politely.

“I understand. I will support Master Rid with all my heart so that I can live up to the trust that Master Rainer has placed in me.”

When she finished, she bowed to my father and me.

Father saw this and nodded, then made her raise her head.

“Yes, please take good care of him.”

Deanna nodded to my father and knelt down in front of me.

Then, like Capella before , she pledged her allegiance to me as a squire.

“I will serve Master Rid at the risk of my life.”

I was a little surprised to see this, but I immediately replied with a smile.

“Once again, I look forward to working with you. Deanna.”

Thus, within a day, I had two squires, Capella and Deanna.

Father, who had been watching me, cleared his throat and then looked a little grim.

” Now, that’s all I have to say, but I have another question I’d like to ask you both.”

“Yes, ?”

I and Deanna looked at each other before replying.

“……’Violent maid who swears loyalty to Bardia’ and ‘cheeky little maid’ are you the two of you, right ……?”

“What is this about, ……?”

I was in a cold sweat, despite my calm appearance.

I glanced at Deanna and saw that, unusually for her, she was surly pale with blood.

It was a story about strange people nearly noble mansion t’s turned out. Zack was really amused by the story. Now, do you want to tell me what happened?”

……

After that, Deanna and I had to explain the situation to my father again, and we both got a lot of grief.

Deanna was shrugging her shoulders when Father told her, “I’ll let you off the hook this time, but next time, as a ‘chaperone,’ you’d better pull your own weight.”

I was getting discouraged because I kept getting angry at her, saying, “Even though it was Princess Fara’s suggestion, what is a legitimate son of a noble family doing disguising himself as a maid⁉ I should think more about my position .

But I decided not to tell Fara about it.
