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 150: You're messing with my pure heart!

Chapter 150: You’re messing with my pure heart!

“No matter how much you feign ignorance, it’s useless. I understand everything. However, that doesn’t mean I will forgive you even if you answer honestly.”

And there it was, Gaius saying that to Prevost.

Is… is this what I think it is!? ‘Your feelings have come across painfully well. And no matter what you say to me, my affection for you won’t change.’ Is that it!? 

My imagination is running wild! Ah, I’m drooling.

“What do you mean? What exactly are you saying you know about me, Your Highness Gaius?”

“Well, instead of going on like this, wouldn’t it be better to check for ourselves? Don’t you think so, Prevost?”

“Uh, yes, I guess so.”

“Good. I’ve reached the limit of my patience for doting on you. Hearing you say the same makes it easier for me to skip the reasoning and start pampering you right away.”

“Kyaaaaaa!! … Ah, sorry, sorry. Please go on and create your world without paying attention to me being here! Go on, don’t mind me!”

“…”

“…”

Ah, that was close! My inner voice almost slipped out!

However, I managed to flawlessly switch gears, avoiding disturbing the atmosphere between the two and masking my intense curiosity about their relationship. I never imagined I had the talent of an actress.

“… Well, whatever. Let’s just leave this fool alone.”

“Who are you calling a fool!?”

“If we keep interacting with you, we’ll never get to the main point. Let’s go, Prevost.”

“Go… Go where?”

“Stop playing dumb. To the basement where you’re keeping your citizens captive and using them as outlets for your desires, obviously.”

… Huh? Wait? What? Gaius was interested in Prevost not out of romantic affection but because of the wrongdoings Prevost had committed?

“You… you played with my pure heart, Gaius!!”

“Huh? What exactly are you trying to achieve since earlier!? It’s irritating! And don’t you dare use this commotion as an opportunity to escape, Prevost.”

And so, with the fury of betrayal welling up within me, I swung my fist at Gaius.

“So, what’s the story with this basement, Prevost? Do you have any excuses? I’ll at least listen to what you have to say.”
