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 128: There's No Choice but to Prepare Oneself

Chapter 128: There’s No Choice but to Prepare Oneself

“I’ve had enough; my patience has run out.”

“… Y-Yes.”

“Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”

“… Yes…”

“Hmm, as expected, Hildegard, you’re clever. Now let’s get right to it with your hands and mouth.”

I noticed a different atmosphere surrounding Prevost when I entered the room. Despite his personal guards always standing in the corner during our previous encounters, there was no one today. 

I had prepared myself for this situation, but it seemed my bad premonition had come true.

Now that it has come to this, there’s no choice but to brace myself.

As I thought about this, Prevost suddenly stopped moving and directed his gaze toward the door. 

I followed his gaze and saw a man of elegance standing there, having entered without even knocking. I had never seen him before.

“Y-You!! How impudent! Who the hell are you!? Do you even know who I am!?” 

“Hmm, don’t you remember my face? I recall hosting a party in the Empire about two months ago to deepen the diplomatic ties between our two nations. Unlike you, I was busy greeting the nobles of the Holy Kingdom and the Empire and dealing with the lot who only cared about money and had forgotten their noble status. So, I didn’t bother remembering insignificant vermin like you. If my memory serves me right, I was introduced to this room when I visited the Holy Kingdom for inspection. I was under the impression that this room was reserved for those of higher authority. When did it become available for rats like you?”

Who could this man be, speaking down to Prevost like that?

Under normal circumstances, Prevost would undoubtedly have called multiple servants, who also served as his attendants and guards, to punish the disrespectful man with torture and eventually execution. However, it was eerie that Prevost didn’t resort to such actions in front of this man.

“Gaius do Gold… His Majesty the Emperor…!? Why would His Majesty the Emperor, Gaius do Gold come all the way to the neighbouring Holy Kingdom? I have heard no such thing!”

“… Why should I have to tell the likes of you about it?”

“Well, um… You’re correct, Your Majesty Gaius do Gold. I apologize for my impertinence… Hildegard! Let’s leave this room now!”
