I Was Reincarnated as the Most Wicked Aristocrat Who Rules Over the Kingdom’s Darkness in an R-18 Eroge, but I Don’t Like Abnormal Situations, so I Tried to Live a Normal and Peaceful Life, but I’m Somehow in the Same Situation as the Original Scenario - Chapter 7 - Interlude 2 - The Main Heroine’s True Nature

Chapter 7 – Interlude 2 – The Main Heroine’s True Nature

Elise Lucifor remained in a state of shock for a while.

“…Alvart Zesphilia.”

Finally regaining her composure, she muttered, gazing at his back in the distance.

“…Maybe I’ve misunderstood him.”

In response to Elise’s words, Cecil Imitation, who was standing right next to her, spoke up.

“That was truly unexpected of him.”

Elise nodded softly.

“The infamous Zesphilia. I had thought I would take him down with my own hands before he made his way out into the world, but… I never imagined he was someone who shared the same ideas as me.”

Elise completely believed him.

She believed his acting.

His lies.

It was only natural.

Anyone could maintain their composure after having their family name insulted.

However, not everyone can make a vow of absolute obedience to prove their true intentions.

“…I’m ashamed of myself, Cecil. I’ll have to apologize to him later.”

Thus, this matter came to a close.

A happy ending.

——Or so it was supposed to be according to Alvart’s scenario.

In fact, it had been perfect up to this point.

However——

Alvart had forgotten an important point regarding the etiquette of the vow he had made.

“But still… I can’t believe he would confess his love to me when we had just met…!”

That’s right.

In most cases, when making a vow of absolute obedience, you kiss the other person’s right foot.

However, if you kiss the left foot… It will be interpreted as a vow of absolute obedience, as well as a vow of eternal love for the other person.

“I-I acknowledge that we are comrades, but… R-really, to do something like that to someone you just met… W-what a player!”

Contrary to Elise’s negative words, her cheeks were flushed and her mouth was slightly loose.

This was yet another miscalculation on his part.

Elise Lucifor was surprisingly easy to sway.

This side of her was hardly portrayed in the original scenario, so he didn’t notice it at all.

If he had known, he could have taken a different approach.

But unfortunately…

“… Hey, Cecil. I-I’m not saying this seriously, but…”

“Yes, yes.”

“D-do you think he would be suitable as my…partner?”

This was the reality.

There was no significant clash, nor did Elise develop any extreme fondness for Alvart. This thinking of Alvart’s was a big mistake.

“Hmm, I wonder. I think he’s a man worth trusting, don’t you think?”

“Oh! Is that so?! You think so too!”

Placing her hands on her hips, Elise laughed cheerfully, shaking her ample breasts.

Elise then looked up to the sky,

“…Everyone laughs at my ideals and justice. To think that there is someone in this kingdom who understands them.”

She had completely misunderstood.

“If we join hands and erase the shadow of the kingdom, then…”

There’d be a celebration.

The wedding ceremony.

And then——

The wedding night.

“Ehehe, ehehe, fuehehe…”

Indulging in lewd fantasies, Elise rubbed her thighs together,

“I wonder how many children he’ll want…!! I-I want at least…three…!”

In essence, she’s the heroine of an erotic game. Therefore, her interest and desire in such things is stronger than most people’s.

Until now, she had nowhere to direct her desire…

Now, all of that was focused on him.

“Ah, this is getting a bit out of hand.”

Cecil shrugged, laughing bitterly and tapping Elise on the shoulder.

“Anyway, let’s head to the venue. We shouldn’t be late for the entrance ceremony.”

“Y-yeah, you’re right.”

Elise nodded and started walking, and Cecil walked beside her.

From the outsider’s perspective, or even from the person involved, no one would doubt that the two were old friends.

They seemed like childhood friends who had never had a falling out.

However…

“Hey, Cecil.”

“What is it?”

“I’m going to say something a bit strange.”

“Uh-huh.”

Elise stopped on her tracks.

And with a suspicious look on her face, she asked,

“Isn’t this our first meeting?”

Cecil answered while grinning.

It was a smile that seemed etched into his emotionless mask.

“Haha. How mean. We’ve been childhood friends for many years, haven’t we? Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten.”

To this, Elise replied,

“Ah! That’s right! Sorry, I said something really strange, didn’t I!”

It was a very unnatural understanding.

From that point on, she completely forgot the doubts that had arisen within her and walked through the courtyard——

——accompanied by the being who called herself Elise’s friend.
