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 155: You Won't Break Your Promise, Right?

Chapter 155: You Won’t Break Your Promise, Right?

And truly, I can’t help but respect Kaisar-sama, who taught me the pleasure of tormenting someone who believes they are an absolute powerhouse.

“Huh? What are you talking about? What does the ‘real mastermind’ have to do with anything right now?”

“Eh? W-What do you mean?”

“What I mean is, I’m about to pass judgment on you here and now.”

“Wait, wait a minute! If you condemn me now, you’ll lose the chance to expose the person pulling the strings behind me! Are you alright with that?”

“Indeed, Gaius! It would be wiser to negotiate with Prevost. While his actions are indeed unforgivable, without crushing the mastermind, the same sort of human trafficking and prostitution could occur elsewhere. It may even go deeper underground, making it impossible to ever expose. And let’s not forget Prevost is a citizen and nobleman of the Holy Kingdom! No matter what your imperial title may be, you have no authority to judge another country’s citizen without my consent!”

Hearing Prevost’s plea for a deal, I found his information irrelevant and replied accordingly. I understood that he was desperate, his voice tinged with emotion, his face streaked with tears and snot. But why would Blanche even consider reevaluating Prevost’s punishment just to ask about this so-called mastermind?

Did she forget what she promised when she decided to follow me? I found myself wanting to pull my hair out in frustration.

“Listen, Blanche.”

“What is it, Gaius?”

“What did you promise me when you first decided to follow me? You said you wouldn’t get in my way, didn’t you? Surely, a nation’s leader wouldn’t go back on their word?”

“Ugh…! Fine, do as you will! But let’s make it clear. We won’t let any information about Prevost leak out. Before he can warn the mastermind and they escape further into the shadows, I will absolutely root them out!”

“Ah, about that, I already know who the mastermind is, so there’s no need for such urgency.”

“What!? Why didn’t you say so from the beginning if you already knew? You fool!”
