I, Who Was Dismissed as Worthless Failure by my Family and Fiancée, Discovered I had Reincarnated as a Game Character I Raised with Great Care and Vowed to Take Control of my Life and Defy Anyone who Opposes Me. - Chapter 107: Just a Slight Thought

Chapter 107: Just a Slight Thought

Why don’t these idiots understand even the simplest things? It’s no wonder they have their heads severed like this.

“Listen. If you’ve failed, just go to capture Kaisar repeatedly until you succeed. That way, it wouldn’t be a failure, and you wouldn’t have to get beheaded like this. It’s really frustrating that everyone besides me is just a bunch of fools. Moreover, it looks like you can’t comprehend unless I actually demonstrate the punishment right in front of you. It makes me wonder if I’m the only genius here. At this rate, won’t I end up killing everyone inside the castle before I die?”

And so, in an attempt to lighten the solemn atmosphere, I evoke laughter with a light joke at the end. However, there isn’t a single person laughing.

Certainly, they say laughter is difficult. Maybe sophisticated humour is too challenging for fools with low intelligence.

“Hey, what’s wrong? The last one was a joke, you know? Why aren’t you laughing?”

So, being kind, I made sure to convey it was indeed a joke. Finally, those around me noticed my earlier gag and laughter were heard.

“Well, looking back, it was indeed a very funny joke!”

“His Majesty the Emperor’s wit is incredible, coming up with jokes of such high quality that we could never have realized!”

Along with that, the laughter gradually grew louder, and even words of praise started to emerge.

Indeed, being the only genius is, in its own way, quite lonely. I find myself thinking once again.

And so, a few hours later, I finally managed to read Kaisar’s letter, which stated that he himself would visit here tomorrow.

If that’s the case, I didn’t really need to kill him, after all. I can’t help but think that, just a little.

[Kaisar’s POV]

“Master, are you sure we’ll make it in time?”

Shishiru asked, but she’s been asking since yesterday, and it was starting to become annoying. I consider giving her the order to shut up and silence her, but there’s also a high possibility that it’s Shishiru’s trap—a trap to make me give her orders—. So, I held back and endured.

In the first place, I don’t want to give orders, especially while having the values from my previous life. However, this annoyance is akin to getting told by my mother, ‘Stop playing and study!’ just when I was about to start studying. It’s reaching a level of irritation.

And it has been going on since last night, so my frustration was reaching its limit.

“No, I’ve told you multiple times, haven’t I? We have more than enough time.”
