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 59: Shall I Let You Go This Time?

Chapter 59: Shall I Let You Go This Time?

“But, children should respect their parents, shouldn’t they!?”

“Well, then why, as a father, have you been indifferent and bullied me every day? Even though you, as a parent, didn’t unconditionally cherish your child, why do you think that I, as your child, should unconditionally respect my parents?”

“W-well, that’s…”

“Moreover, didn’t you kill your own father? If I remember correctly, you found out you were getting disinherited for your extravagant spending, your attitude toward your subjects, and your abuse of power. You also learned that your nephew, your relative, was being adopted to inherit the Kvist family, so you killed your own father and succeeded the Kvist family, didn’t you?”

“That’s because I couldn’t entrust the Kvist family to my useless nephew who couldn’t see the potential in this brilliant me. I had no choice but to kill him to protect the Kvist family from collapsing!!”

Despite my explanation, my father insisted that children should respect their parents. I told him that it was impossible for me to respect him, who had bullied me so much, and reminded him he had killed his own father for his own desires. 

However, he immediately made up excuses, knowing his lies would get exposed.

“I see. So, does that mean I can also kill you to protect the Kvist family? Since you seem to think I know nothing, let me tell you this: Because of your extravagance for personal gain, the Kvist family’s assets have decreased by a third. As a result, you have been borrowing large sums of money from loan sharks lately and buying jewelry and paintings just for show. To top it off, you’ve been bribing a dark guild. I have evidence of all of this. So if you say you killed your own father to protect the Kvist family, I can also kill you to protect the Kvist family, right? Oh, and by the way, all of these were easy to gather evidence for thanks to your foolishness.”

And finally, after saying all that, my father seemed to have finally realized his situation and collapsed to his knees.

At this point, I wondered if he would ever realize his position, but he seemed to have somehow understood it.

“So, now that you understand that they aren’t hostages to me, what are you going to do?”

Both my father and the assailants trying to capture me seemed to have realized my family’s position. The people who had been restraining my family were gone.

“If there is anyone who still wants to come after me, I’ll deal with them. But if not, I’ll let them go this time under the pretext of ‘I was here under the order of Emperor Gaius, and it wasn’t my own will.'”
