The Case When I Created A Secret Society of Darkness Because I Reincarnated As A Villain, But For Some Reason, It Became My Harem - Chapter 245

“Wha-Who says I’m on the verge of crying?”

I was about to say, “It’s you, obviously, you,” but I knew that she would never admit to it, and it would only make the conversation go on endlessly, so I resisted the urge to say it.

“All right. I understand. Let’s calm down, for now, Princess Claude. And from the looks of it, I think it’s an urgent matter, right?”

“R-right!”

And then, Princess Claude, at my words, looked at me as if to say, “Oh, I remember now!” After that, she began to explain to me what had happened.

“I was following Sufia, as I said before. It wasn’t stalking or any sinful act, but I had no choice but to do it in order to protect Sufia.”

Princess Claude had just said all this when Bridgette and Karendoll commented, “How can you tell a lie that’s so easy to find out?” and “If you’re doing it without her permission, isn’t that stalking?” 

I didn’t want the conversation to deviate too far from the topic, so I sent a look at them that said, “Please bear with me here,” to which Bridgette and Karendoll responded with a look that said, “You owe me one.”

I promised to have a baby just yesterday, so I dread the thought of owning one of them.

“Yeah, I suppose so. Princess Claude wasn’t stalking. She was just escorting Sufia.”

“Exactly. I knew it. You’re the only one who understands me.”

I wonder, should I hit her?

“Oh… okay.”

That’s what I thought, but I managed to swallow it.

“So, I was following Sufia as an escort, and just as she stepped past the school gate, someone kidnapped her! So please, save her! You see, this is what I’m talking about.”

“I can’t.”

“Well, I thought you could help your ex-fiancée and classmate, Sufia… eh?”

“I can’t.”

Why should I do something that might expose my true identity, even though it provided no benefits and only disadvantages?

Besides, if we say no to this guy and then rescue him as Black Rose, it won’t be a problem.

“If she got kidnapped, wouldn’t it be better to ask the guards instead of relying on me? It’s just like if you want weapons, you go to a weapon shop, right? That’s why I think it would be more dangerous for an amateur like me to save her.”

“I thought so too, but when it comes to combat, there’s no one better than you! I know you’re already as strong as or stronger than a Kingsguard, if not a Guardsman because I actually fought you in a duel the other day!”

“Alright! I’ll take care of that problem, Kaisar-sama!”

Huh? Bridgette? Why are you the one deciding?
