Otome Game Mob Villain

"Master Rid"

"U...... hmm?"

I was asleep in bed, it seems.

I raised my upper body from the bed and looked at Deanna with fuzzy eyes.

She was dressed in a maid's outfit with a sword belt around her waist.

It's a rather surrealistic appearance.

I mean, is it really acceptable to wear a sword belt in a guest house?　

I said what I was thinking in my sleepy head.

"Deanna, is it okay to carry a sword inside the guest house?

" Master Reiner and Master Zack, the superintendent, have agreed to this.

Deanna's manner of bowing and replying is very graceful.

She is beautiful to begin with, so it is particularly so.

However, she was a maid who was a little overwhelmed, as if she was wearing a knight's sword air.

In the future, Rubens is going to be a slave to her.

I was thinking about that in a daze.

Then, Deanna looked at my face and said in a slightly stronger tone, "Master Rid is going to stay in this guest house.

"Master Rid wanted to take a bath in the hot springs at the guest house, so you asked me to wake you up after a short time had passed. I will ask Master Zack to prepare the hot springs for you."

Deanna said a little too quickly, bowed and left the room quickly.

I was stunned by her appearance, and in my sleepy state, e, and I just stared at the door she had left.

Then, gradually, my head began to clear.

Then a question came to my mind.

, "...... Zack told me about the hot springs, but did I tell Deana that I wanted to go in today ......?"

Hmmm.

I remember saying I wanted to sleep a little, partly because I was sick from the ride, but my memory of saying I wanted to go into the hot spring is fuzzy.

But if Deanna said that, then it must be true.

Besides, I myself have a strong desire to go to the hot springs.

When I got up from the bed and looked around, I found that the room was almost the same as in Magnolia, but I could see some harmony here and there.

For example, the sheets of the futon I was sleeping on had a bright checkered pattern.

There are pictures on the wall, but they are Ukiyoe.

However, it is a little different from the Ukiyo-e that I am familiar with.

It is an Ukiyoe that has been made to look more contemporary than the Ukiyoe I know.

I have never seen ukiyoe of a dark elf even in my previous life.

In the picture, a dark elf woman is wearing a light purple kimono, and her long hair is combed in the front of her face.

The figure exudes the woman's unique sex appeal.

The title of the picture is "Eltia combing her hair."

"The Impact is Amazing. ......"

While I was admiring the painting, there was a knock at the door.

I answered it immediately, and Deanna and Zack entered the room.

They looked at me and bowed.

Zack looked up, noticed the picture I was looking at nearby, smiled, and said to me,

"Do you like the picture?"

". Yes, it's a very beautiful picture of a lovely woman."

Deanna looked a little doubtful at my words.

"Rid still a child. I think it is still too early to be interested in that painting. ......"

I felt my face turn red at Deanna's statement and denied the meaning of her words.

I was just admiring it because it was a very neat painting.

"...... hmph, I understand."

Deanna put her hand over her mouth and laughed, .

I was beaten.

I was teased.

Zack, who had been watching the scene, smiled for some reason and explained about the picture to me.

This painting was based on the model of Eltia-sama, the concubine of His Majesty Elias."

Heh. ......."

I looked at the picture again, marveling at it.

As I looked at the paintings with this thought in mind, I noticed that Zack's face was beginning to blush.

Deanna sighed and shook her head.

What's wrong?

Then I huff as I remember that the name Eltia sounds familiar.

Then, looking fearfully at Zack's face, he chuckled.

"This is a picture of Lady Fara's mother, Eltia, for whom Master Rid is a candidate for marriage. I must say, Lady Fara looks a lot like Lady Eltia,. If Master Rid is in admiration of this picture, then Lady Fara will surely be a good match for him."

I felt my face turning red.

I had no idea that I was admiring a painting of my marriage partner's mother, and I was filled with embarrassment.

I felt like I had to say something to Zack, who was grinning at me, and I spun the words impatiently.

'No, I'm not lying that I was admiring the painting, but ...... well, you know, the painting is good, so I think the model must be beautiful You see, it's a very beautiful and attractive painting, and I think anyone would admire it as much as I do, right?　Right?"

After saying all that, what did you say?　

I felt my face redden even more.

Zack looked at me and said wit a smile on his face, .

"Yes model Eltia is very beautiful. I am sure that Farra is also a figure that will move the heart of master . Rid, since she has inherited the blood of her mother" .

"Ugh. ...…"

Zack seemed to think he had a point, and I winced.

Deanna, who had been watching the scene, let out another sigh and then said to me, "I'm sorry, but I don't want to talk about this any more.

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to talk about this piece of shit any more."

"Yea , Deanna. ......"

I thought to myself, "How dare you call that a piece of shit ?!"

But one thought did came to me.

"Zack, aren't you opposed to me marrying Princess Fara?"

Zack thought for a moment and then said, choosing his words carefully,

I am not in a position to say anything about that. but I do want Princess Fara to be happy. I got to know a little bit about Rid's personality through the exchange we had just had. And I think basing on it that Princess Fara will be happy. with you "

I see.

Father is not monolithic in Renalute either.

He also said that His Majesty Elias is positive to that marriage.

In other words, Renalute is probably in a three-way fight against the Bardia family: hostile, neutral, and ally.

And Zack was neutral, but I guess he felt like he was an ally.

I gave him a thoughtful look before replying .

"I'm sorry to ask such a difficult question, but if she's as pretty as a painting, I might just fall in love with her at first sight. Bu. If that happens, Zack, will you be there to cheer me on?"

I said childishly, but looked at Zack with a strong focus in my eyes.

Zack looked surprised at my words and the way I looked at him, but he immediately responded.

"I'll be happy to support you then, too."

"Yes, I'll count on you ."

Okay, I got the word from Zack.

This should mean that Zack is on my side, though not by absolute.

I smiled at him.

Then Zack's face turned thoughtful and he began to speak.

"By the way, may we have this conversation with other for a cup of tea and snacks ?"

Oh, that's a great way to start a ministry.

Zack is a neutral and ally like himself. And I guess that means he'll be talking to a credible adversary.

Oh, it's good call

Zack is a neutral and ally . That, and he would be willing to speak to a trusted adversary.

They don't know what kind of person I am.

If I am a person who disrespects the princess or does not value my relationship with Renalute, they will try to get rid of me as a candidate in some way.

From a national point of view, Renalute will use the trump card that is the princess this time.

It may sound harsh, but that is the way things work between countries.

If that is the case, all I can do is to convince them that I am a more beneficial candidate for marriage than the royal family.

Of course, even if I don't do that, the marriage will take place because it was decided between the countries.

But will the Bardia family ally themselves with Renalute in the marriage?

There is a difference between getting married with Renalute as an ally and getting married with Renalute as an enemy or as a neutral side.

Considering the future, I definitely should get Renalute as an ally.

Besides, I have decided to keep the Princess Farah dear to my heart.

Just like my mother and father.

So I replied to Zack with a smile.

"It's fine,But only if you support me when I fall in love with Princess Fara".

" Of course."

Zack was having fun exchanging smiles with me.

By the way, Deanna, who was there, was watching the scene, rolling her eyes at the exchange between the two of us.

Then, after watching the conversation between Ridand Zack, she muttered to herself i.

...... at your age is way out of the norm."

Deanna muttered to herself and let out a big sigh.
