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 50: That Is My Response

Chapter 50: That Is My Response

“H-His Majesty the Emperor seems to be summoning you, Kaisar-sama…”

It was my father, Edward von Kvist, who delivered the news.

His expression conveyed not only humiliation, anger, and hatred toward serving me but also anxiety, which was unusual.

The fact that the Emperor had personally called for me, without a letter addressed to a close confidant or with a respectful tone, meant that he had not considered my circumstances at all and simply demanded my presence at the castle immediately.

Perhaps the Emperor had realized my misdeeds and was planning a rescue operation for the Kvist family, including my father Edward, without alerting me beforehand and taking advantage of my vulnerability.

But from my father Edward’s anxious demeanour, it was clear that nothing of the sort was happening behind the scenes.

It was possible that the Emperor had begun to take some precautions against our Kvist family, although not to the point of making us his enemy.

In this case, it wasn’t just me but also my father, Edward, who is still officially the head of the Kvist family, that could be in trouble.

Upon receiving the letter from my father, I briefly read it and then used chantless magic to burn it with flames and scatter the ashes outside the house with wind magic.

While I indeed held a lower rank than the Emperor and should have left on a fast horse to his castle as soon as I received the letter, I decided not to.

However, the Emperor’s power is absolute. If I were to do so, there would be an unbridgeable gap in the trust relationship between the Emperor and me, which might be the case in exceptional circumstances.

In general, as I mentioned earlier, the Emperor has absolute power, and there is an unbridgeable gap, so it would be normal to follow the Emperor’s orders. However, I am not bound by this, nor do I have any intention of building a trusting relationship with the Emperor.

If I want to establish a friendly relationship with an opponent who is both looking down on me and showing no consideration by summoning me like this, there are only drawbacks for me.

Therefore, my answer is already set in place.

Courtesy for courtesy, rudeness for rudeness.

And I gave my father a letter stating, “I refuse to respond to such a disrespectful summons that lacks proper courtesy.”
