I Got Reincarnated as a Villainous Noble Destined for Getting My Punishment, but Since I Got Married to My Favorite Final Boss Heroine, I Shall Use My Knowledge of the Original Game to Make My Wife Happy - 36

Chapter 36: Humph My Wife Is More Beautiful

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Well… Now that I’m calmer now, this is definitely something that requires my immediate decision.”

By the time I realized it, our surroundings had become dark. We were in one of the suite rooms on the third floor of my mansion. Lna, Melcot and I hurriedly made our way to the room where the elf princess was located. I received a brief description from Melcott on our way here. Under normal circumstances, this room was meant for our guests to relax, but now this room was being used as a temporary treatment room for the Elf Kingdom’s princess. It seemed Alisa had provided an emergency treatment to the elf princess.

To be honest, I couldn’t care less if she was a princess or not. However, if I could take care of this incident successfully, I would be able to add another point to my happy married life with Luna. Earning someone’s favor every once or a while wouldn’t hurt. The Elf Kingdom was surrounded by several hostile nations. Kardi region was one of its neighbors. And yet, the Elf Kingdom remained neutral without forming alliances with any other nations. They never engaged in any big wars either. In other words, this kingdom was strong enough that no one dared to meddle with it. 

Thinking back, I remembered my father and Marsha-nee had warned me that elves could be quite troublesome to deal with. At that time, I was so distracted by Luna’s cuteness that I didn’t pay close attention to their warning. 

But still… What was the princess of such a neutral kingdom doing in the middle of Sulfur City?

“Ike-sama, this is the third princess of the Elf Kingdom.”

“I see…”

This female elf definitely fit the stereotypical description of an elf in games and manga. She had short blonde hair, emerald green eyes, an objectively beautiful face and distinctive long ears. 

“This is Ike Hanbulg, the lord of this Sulfur City and the Kardi Region.”

“Nice to meet you, Ike-sama. My name is Lycoris, the third princess of the Elf Kingdom. Thank you for saving me.”

Humph. My wife was more beautiful than her though.

I said while staring at the elf princess with a smug face. 

In my eyes, there was nothing more beautiful than my wife in this world—no, in this universe! No word could describe her beauty and grace. If I had to tell someone how precious Luna was, it would take me at least a whole week to barely scratch the surface!

“Nice to meet you, Princess Lycoris. May I ask what brings you to Sulfur City?”

I heard she was injured, but… She wasn’t covered in wounds like what I expected. Maybe the Saintess had cast healing magic on her. 

“Actually… I’m on my way to a secret meeting with King Gilga.”

“A secret meeting with King Gilga? I do have to say, your journey to the capital is going to be long and arduous.”

Upon hearing King Gilga’s name, I had a hunch things were going to become so troublesome. Putting myself between a diplomatic issue was definitely not a good move. I had hoped I could handle this problem successfully to ensure my happy married life with Luna, but I decided to retract that statement. Though I wasn’t sure how troublesome this situation was, but I had a feeling my lovey dovey time with Luna would be reduced dramatically if I had to handle this matter. That itself was a great loss to me. 

I already hadn’t fill my today’s quota with Luna. If someone were to tell me that my lovey dovey time with Luna would be decreasing even further… I would fall into despair. I definitely would. 

Unfortunately.. Princess Lycoris nodded excitedly at my social pleasantries. 

“Yes, indeed! As you may have known, the Demon Lord Worshipper are getting more active recently. We’re thinking of forming an alliance with this nation in secret, albeit our alliance are only going to be limited to things related to Demon Lord Worshipper. Furthermore, our own people have been harmed by the Demon Lord Worshippers.”

“Again with the Demon Lord Worshipper….”

I wanted to remain calm and hide my frustration, but… Yeah, I couldn’t. What was up with these Demon Lord Worshipper? Couldn’t they go another day without interfering with my lovey dovey married life with Luna?

“How are your injuries, Princess Lycoris?”

“Oh, Alisa.”

Alisa appeared with her staff. Melcott had told me that aside from Princess Lycoris herself, several of Princess Lycoris’ escorts were injured as well. Alisa must had been treating them. 

“Yes, thanks to Saintess-sama’s healing magic, I’m all well now. But, the others…”

“Rest assured. I will ensure all those who are still alive will get healing treatment. I swear under the name of the Saintess. So, for now… Please prioritize your health. I understand how you must feel, but you need to take care of yourself too.”

Alisa had a serenely devoted expression, befitting for a saintess. I had almost forgotten that Alisa was literally the saintess.

“Yes, of course. Those who have passed away cannot be brought back to life. I’m painfully aware of that fact. They are not resting in peace under the protection of our elven god, Yggdrasil-sama…”

Princess Lycoris responded to Alisa’s comforting words while smiling painfully. I could tell Princess Lycoris was choosing her words carefully. I had heard from Melcott’s report that several of her escort knights had died from the attack. 

Those Demon Lord Worshipper was getting increasingly annoying. 

“Hey, Alisa. Can you tell me more about Demon Lord Worshipper? I know you’ve told me before, but can you refresh my memory a bit?”

There was always a difference between the knowledge I had known based on the original storyline and the actual thing happening in this world. Hence why, I had to ask Alisa for clarification to fill in that gap. 

“Absolutely. Allow me to give you a brief explanation.”

Alisa was staring directly into my eyes. Her usual composed eyes were carrying a hint of anger.

“Basically, they’re a group of people that will do anything to revive the Demon Lord. By anything I mean anything, no matter how vile, how devious it is, they will do it if it’s for the sake of reviving the Demon Lord. In fact, they were also the one responsible for the ogres incident earlier. They had used the dark magic circles to summon the horde of ogres. Of course, the practice of dark magic was forbidden in this nation. They are also involved in other crimes such as human trafficking, illegal drug production, unlawful torture and sacrificial rites to bring the Demon Lord back. The list goes on and on.”

“How utterly despicable.”

In the original Fortune Lover storyline, Luna was loathed by everyone because of the curse power residing in herself and thus, she became the final boss of the game. There was no doubt the Demon Lord Worshipper was the one behind Luna’s awakening as the final boss. I had naively thought everything would be alright as long as I stayed by Luna’s side. I thought I could avoid getting into troublesome things as long as I played it safe. It seemed… I was greatly mistaken. 

“That’s right. They are very despicable.”

Alisa nodded in agreement with my words. The existence of Demon Lord Worshipper could jeopardize my lovey dovey time with Luna. Luna was the final boss of the game, so the risk still remained. Luna might get kidnapped by these people. It wouldn’t come off as a surprise though, considering Luna’s cursed power was not a secret. Those people would surely come after Luna because of her power. 

If… If… As much as I hated to imagine it, but if Luna were to be kidnapped by the Demon Lord Worshipper… It went without saying that I would be separated from Luna for who knew how long. Those guys wouldn’t be stupid enough to leave any trace behind. I would have a hard time finding Luna. 

Yeah. I definitely couldn’t let that happen. 

“Let’s teach them who they’re messing with.”

For the sake of my lovey dovey married life with Luna, I needed to erase every trace of those guys from history. 

The veins on my temple popped up as I boldly declared. 

“I will be sure to crush every single one of them. They better be ready for me…”

With that, I vowed to point the spear of my anger toward the Demon Lord Worshipper.
