Became a Villain in Romance Fantasy

10- If you are blinded by money, you will not see anything good

“Um…So to sum it up. This city is in fact secretly ruled by the criminal organization Mescaline, and you guys were researching in advance to liberate this place?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Hmph, but I think my head is spinning enough to understand that.”

Lucia still tickled me every time she saw me, but now it didn’t really matter.

A whopping 10 million gold. If it was this amount, it would have been enough to play and eat for the rest of my life. It was a simple task that ended with roughly helping the guys.

‘If it ends with that, though.’

It was certain that it would not end there. However, I did not know at the time that money makes people’s thinking one-dimensional.

“So what’s the plan?”

No matter how thoughtless she may seem, she was a princess of a country and a saint in charge of a country. At the end of the original work, the two of them broke the devil’s head together.

Has no plan for this much work?

There was no way that would happen. There must be some ingenious operation.

Like in the original work, it would be possible to wipe out the enemies by putting the Knights of the Holy Kingdom at the fore, and it would be possible to get rid of the enemies bit by bit from the inside.

When I looked at them with anticipation and envy, they scratched their cheeks with subtle expressions and looked up at me.

“hahahaha…Nothing.”

“No. You’ve been thinking about it.”

“What?”

These guys had their own aspects that were shown in the original work. So, naturally, I thought there was a corner that I believed in.

But it’s unplanned.

“Wouldn’t there be volunteers from the Holy Kingdom?”

In the first place, in the original work, they confidently entered through the main gate and wiped out the enemies.

After that, a one-on-one battle between Scar and Angelica took place.

Although Angelica is defeated, Scar is forced to flee by the volunteers who arrive after her.

This was the original story I knew. So, of course, I thought that there must be some level of reinforcements, or hidden somewhere.

“Do you think the Pope is an idle man like you? He has already led the Templars to the stronghold of Mescaline.”

“Then, how are we going to wipe them out? Isn’t this city itself the base of the enemies?”

“Aren’t the enemies diabolical villains anyway? I can wipe them out enough alone.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be there to help.”

She was Angelica reassuring me not to worry, but she couldn’t ease her anxiety easily.

Even if there was only a foolish saint next to her right now, wouldn’t she almost lose to me because she didn’t know how to use one of her weapons?

“What are you staring at like that? It’s disgusting.”

As I looked at Lucia with her uneasy expression, she turned away from me and hid behind that Angelica with a look of blatant displeasure.

“Miss Lucia?”

Angelica hesitated, and she turned to Lucia, who was hiding behind her.

“Anjelica-sama, what do you like about a shady guy like that? Also, if he doesn’t like you, he’s sure to commit violent acts.”

“Oh…It seems Lucia-sama still doesn’t know Laplace very well. If you fight together, you’ll get to know the real him.”

After that, on the contrary, Angelica started persuading Lucia, who was as scared as a small squirrel, by holding both hands.

‘What is the real me…’

“Eh, eh…?”

“Also, Laplace is good at fighting, and on top of that, he’s kind, and he runs to me one step at a time…”

Lucia was even more frightened by the appearance of Angelica, who was talking with a fanatical appearance almost like a fanatic of the devil.

“What the hell did you do to the princess!”

I would have thought that Lucia would know why Angelica was like this, but I don’t know either.

“I don’t know.”

“Anyway, it’s clear that you’ve done something shameless again. Maybe… Damn it!.”

She honestly replied that she didn’t know without a single lie, but she gave Lucia a kick in return for being bold and sarcastic.

From then on, I could see Lucia strangely avoiding me even more.

‘Why are there only these idiots?’

The holy kingdom’s Pope Felix was making Mescaline’s stronghold, which was on the front line, in a state close to destruction, but he couldn’t hide a feeling of embarrassment.

Certainly, even if there was no Scar uniting them, it was because they weren’t the ones who would break down so easily.

In the first place, he made a stronghold on the front line where the Demon King’s Army and the Allied Forces of the Holy Kingdom are fighting in a mess.

They were crazy guys who attacked the allied forces when they were in trouble, and sometimes interfered with the Demon King’s army.

Just because they lost a good leader, did they reveal their stronghold and destroy it so easily?

Since it was Felix who had been chasing them for decades, I couldn’t understand it.

“Sal, save me!”

His head was full of complicated thoughts, but he didn’t stop the hammer he was holding.

‘What is it?’

However, there were too many wicked people gathered to say that this place was not the base.

The number of dead enemies was crossing the three digits as the limbs were shattered by the hammer in Felix’s hand.

Of course, it wasn’t that he killed them blindly.

This work was done after sufficient confirmation with the degraded version of the Shame of Sin that the saintess had been using.

That all enemies are evil.

That was enough for the knights of the Holy Kingdom.

‘I see. That guy isn’t there.’

It was only after clearing most of the enemies that Felix realized the identity of the sense of incongruity he felt throughout the battle.

Nowhere in this place was the man who had been arguing with Felix every time there was a battle with Mescaline.

A red-haired swordsman who used an uneasy magic sword.

‘The saintess… She’ll take care of things herself.’

I wondered if the man with the magic sword could be in the place where the saintess was, but I thought she didn’t care.

He sent me ten million gold. With that money, he would have been able to easily hire even the largest mercenary group.

She sometimes showed her saintess stupid appearance, but she thought not to worry because she was accompanied by a princess of the empire who seemed quite capable.

**

‘f*cking dogs!’

In my mind, I wanted to scream and shout out loud.

Why?

The city of Wakenburg itself, except that Mescaline is in control. It was a commercially valuable city.

A level of security that is difficult to think of as a criminal organization, high-quality accommodation, and even a casino that seems to have been built with a huge amount of money.

If only the operation method of a casino that maliciously set the odds rate of challengers low was transformed into a modern style and instilled in them the idea that they could win. It was clear that more money could be made.

For that reason, I was going to take over this city later. Wakenburg itself was an Imperial domain, and I was an Imperial duke.

I subjugated the criminal organizations with the Holy Kingdom at the forefront, so there is no reason not to give them a piece of land.

So, I definitely talked about it beforehand. Attack the enemies, but attack while avoiding buildings or anything worth money.

But what the hell are those two women doing?

“Explosion.”

“Divine Punishment.”

The golden statues erected in a row from the entrance of the city to the plaza as if showing off their wealth were destroyed beyond recognition and were rolling on the ground.

The casino where people were gathered began to collapse as the ceiling collapsed with great force.

“Ha…”

“Oh, where are you uncomfortable?”

Looking at the shattered city with a bewildered expression, Alice must have thought I had stayed in the battle. Handed me a towel.

What kind of dissatisfaction did she have against such a competent and kind maid? The more I looked at Alice, the less I understood Laplace’s behavior.

“Thank you.”

“Oh, no.”

When I put a towel on my face, a cold energy enveloped my whole body and my head started to cool down.

‘Yeah…If only I got 10 million gold. Rather it could fly. What if a war breaks out while managing this territory? They will be dragged into battle again.’

As she finished her self-rationalization in her head, she stood up and handed Alice her towel.

“Are you going to fight again?”

“That’s right. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

“Yes!”

I noticed something red on Alice’s boots, but she didn’t care.

‘Well… Beastmen are basically good at hand-to-hand combat.’

As I was about to send Alice and cut down the enemies who were besieging me, a white object crashed into the building next to me.

“Lucia?”

As if to let her know that she was attacked by Alice on a different level than when she was attacked, her body was full of wounds despite the protection of the saint.

“Wasn’t the saintess able to defeat the demon king?”

Then, a man carrying an ominous black sword on his shoulder was walking from the other side.

It was definitely a man I had seen in the illustrations in the special episode.

‘Magic Swordsman Basteon.’

With the concept of a crazy fighting maniac, it was something that had nothing to do with Angelica in the original work.

Kill dozens of dragons just to pass the time.

In the end, he was the one who cut off even one arm of the demon king.

‘f*ck…What did you do? This guy is here.’

As expected, people get screwed when they are blinded by money. Woke up again
