I Was Reincarnated as a Villainous Noble and I Want to Be Expelled, but the Yandere Princess Won’t Let It! - Chapter 57-60

Chapter 57: The Lastella Family

“You’re awake, huh?”

Noah Lastella, the eldest son and current head of the Lastella family, had stirred. A man sensed this change in the air.

“…Finally, my son has risen to the top.”

As his subordinates were engulfing and devouring a large army with their small numbers, he muttered to himself calmly.

“Our Lastella family stands at the top only when we are resolute… You, who were weak under pressure, have now broken out of your shell and risen to the top. That’s when true power comes. Our clan is special. We are monsters that shine only on the battlefield. Since birth, you were a bit different from the rest of us, but you undoubtedly carry our blood. You are a worthy opponent for me.”

The man laughed.

“So, you’re going after the fiercest battlefield to save your woman?”

The man sneered.

“Ah…”

The man let out a sigh of admiration.

“Ah, I can’t wait. The best part is when we, the family, clash with each other, isn’t it?!”

Noah’s father, a hopeless battle maniac. Angriff Lastella stood alone on the battlefield, with a mad smile on his face.

Chapter 58: Confluence

Solar Sword.

The words “Let’s go see the sun ahead of time” were entirely my metaphor.

“Yaaaaahhhh!!!”

But it wasn’t a metaphor. The sun was truly shining, and the heat haze was dazzling.

“Now that I think about it, this is unbelievable!”

As I led my group to the fortress in the valley of the Dragonbone Mountains, where Reno was, what caught my eye was Reno himself. He was surrounded by a large number of enemy soldiers encircling the fortress, but with the Solar Sword in his hand, he was shining brightly, sweeping away the night with his invincible might.

“…Did she really need our support?”

Some of the soldiers, witnessing his overwhelming strength, began to doubt whether their arrival was even necessary.

“No, we are needed. I’ve never seen such a light before… it won’t last long. He’ll run out of energy, and Reno is just a human. He needs rest and food. Surrounded by that many enemies, even she will reach his limit. Our reinforcements are necessary.”

I reassured my soldiers; their fighting spirit had slightly dropped in the face of Reno’s extraordinary strength. Then I began chanting a spell.

Then…

“Scorch everything ─── Sudden Rain of Thunder”

I cast a spell to cast a shadow over the Solar Sword.

“Our commander is pretty insane too…”

The magic I unleashed summoned a large amount of lightning that overshadowed the flames of the Solar Sword, engulfing a huge number of enemy soldiers and ending their lives.

“I’m one of the top in the field of magic, after all.”

I casually spoke to my slightly stunned subordinates and took a deep breath.

“What are we!”

Then, I raised my voice to reignite the fighting spirit of our troops.

“We are the Sword of Lastella! The sword that shatters all things!”

“What are we!”

“We are the Sword of Lastella! The sword that shatters all things!”

“Good! Then let’s go. To crush the enemy!”

“Yaaaahhhh!!!”

Responding to my words, our soldiers roared, their voices shaking the ground. This caused even more panic among the already confused enemy, leading some to start fleeing.

“I’ll take the lead!”

With that, I kicked off the ground and moved.

“Lord Reno!!! You came to rescue me!!!”

“Yes, of course.”

And thus, I joined Reno.

Chapter 59: Invincible

Reno and I stood before the large enemy army.

“Shall we go?” I asked Reno beside me.

“Yes… Now that I think about it, this might be the first time we’re fighting together seriously,” Reno replied.

“First joint operation, huh? Let’s do our best,” I said.

“Of course! Leave the front to me!” Reno responded energetically, charging towards the large enemy army with the Solar Sword shining.

“…I should get going too,” I muttered.

Reno held the front line alone, ensuring no soldiers reached me. I had the luxury to chant spells and continuously burn the enemy soldiers with magic.

I prioritized hunting down the enemy mages trying to cast spells on Reno, and I used wind to block all the arrows flying towards him.

“Whew.”

This is the critical moment. The enemy had deployed a large number of soldiers and strategic-level mages. They were serious about capturing this fortress. This was the decisive moment… I relentlessly cast magic without thinking about conserving my strength for the future.

“Yaaaahhhh!!!”

“We can’t beat someone like that…”

“F-father, mother!”

The enemy army was on the brink of collapse. The combined onslaught by my knights and the invincibility of Reno and me left them no chance to fight back.

“Damn it! Retreat, retreat!”

A few minutes after the battle started, the enemy commander decided to retreat, shouting the order amplified by magic for all to hear.

“Yaaaahhhh!!!”

“Stop! Don’t push, stop!”

“Aaah!”

The enemy fled like rabbits. Some were even crushed in the panic. Amidst the chaos, Reno didn’t pursue deeply and returned to the fortress, while I followed him after casting a few more spells at the fleeing soldiers.

Chapter 60: A Break

The retreat of our troops, which was likely triggered by my father’s surprise attack, and the defense of the fortress.

“Ahhhhh, I’m so tired…”

“…I’m really exhausted this time.”

For the moment, both Rinonara and I were taking a break together.

We were currently in the most luxurious office within the fortress.

“By the way, we were saved… If Lord Reno hadn’t come to our rescue, we would have certainly been defeated. Without a doubt, we were saved thanks to Lord Reno. Thank you so much.”

Amid this, Rinonara deeply bowed her head to me.

“It’s fine.”

I smiled and brushed it off.

“We are fiancés, aren’t we? In times like these, we should help each other.”

“…Thank you so much.”

“Heh. Helping a fiancé is only natural. We must cherish the spirit of mutual support.”

“Yes! …Heh, so it’s because we’re engaged that you helped me?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

I nodded at Rinonara’s words.

“…So, does this mean?”

“…?”

“Does this mean you’ve started to be affectionate towards me? Have you fallen for me? Finally… even you, Lord Reno, with your peculiar tastes.”

So, please don’t treat me as having peculiar tastes just because I’m over twenty.

“No?”

As I thought this, I denied her words.

“I don’t think I’ve fallen for you yet.”

“Why not!”

Hearing my clear denial, Rinonara shouted in a sad expression, “Why!?”
