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 118: From Now On, a Commoner

Chapter 118: From Now On, a Commoner

Anyway, in the end, this guy probably just wants money and power, right?

Admittedly, I’m angry about this guy’s attitude, and torture followed by execution would be the usual course of action. However, if he can easily neutralize the elite force I have assembled, it would be better to use rather than kill him.

Indeed, if I were to flatter and manipulate this guy, I could provoke his ire towards the detested Holy Kingdom. I could even send him alone to attack the Kingdom, generating profits significant enough to offset the irritation caused by him. If he were to die on the battlefield, it would be even better, as someone I dislike would bring me benefits and die in the process. Isn’t it a perfect scenario?

“Tell me what you desire, and I shall grant it. Be it a woman, a position, honour, or a great sum of money. If you speak your wish, I will give you anything. In return, I must ask you to work for me as my shield or sword. I believe it’s a proposition that offers only benefits to you. I can even bestow upon you a new family name and a title greater than your Kvist family if you wish. As for the title, it would be equivalent to a duke, the same status as the Kvist family. I can even officially announce that your obtained title is the highest under the Emperor, which would be me. How about that?”

“Ha? Begging for your life at this point is just pathetic, don’t you think? Besides, if I were to kill you right here and now, I would obtain everything I desire, and I wouldn’t need to serve under you. Isn’t that right?”

“Ugh… N-no, that’s not it!! It’s not true! T-that’s right! You wouldn’t know how to govern the Empire, would you? In that regard, I have a proven track record of managing the Empire, and with me around, you won’t have to deal with such troublesome matters!!”

This idiot noticed the useless and strange things in the most unnecessary places. Moreover, if I didn’t demonstrate my use, I would undoubtedly die.

There’s no way the great me will be killed by this worthless insect.

“No, it’s because of you that the Empire is falling apart. What nonsense are you spouting? Have you actually visited the towns in the Empire, at least the ones near the castle? Your policies are so trash that the people living here have lost their vision.”

“What? Who cares about the commoners living in the Empire, buffah!?”

“If you’re willing to listen to anything I want you to do, then from now on, you’re a commoner. You don’t need to worry because I will be responsible for managing the Empire.”

And then, that pest slapped my right cheek and said such ridiculous things.
