The Villainess That Was Once A VRMMO player-Chapter 91.4
Skelly was stunned as if his soul had been drained out of him, and the ordinary soldiers, not understanding what was happening, did as they were told and bowed down in obedience. Among them, the former knights of the The Royal Guard, who had witnessed or heard about the battle with their beloved children in the Royal Capital and the murder of the former King and the Crown Prince, began to perspire profusely and with pale faces…
“””Gaaaaaahhh!!!””””
With a scream like a maiden, the former Royal Guard knights all fled from the scene at once.
“Oh, hey, you guys–“
Bartolo, not grasping the situation, raised a bewildered voice, and at that moment, a girl clad in flame like wings–the Empress Flare–looked down at him and laughed up close.
“You, you are.”
Bartolo’s expression of dismay, then with a gentle voice.
“Oh, you–“
Poof…
The man who was drunk on petty power, unable to read the situation, burned up in an instant by Flare’s forehead flick, disappearing into the wind with only a few black dust particles.
“Lilia.”
“At your service, Master Flare.”
Flare called her name, and Lilia nodded lightly and clapped her hands lightly.
At that moment, as if springing from somewhere, women in maid’s uniforms appeared behind the fleeing knights and stabbed them in the neck, pulling the knife to the side at once, causing a red mist to scatter around the area like fireworks.
“My, that’s beautiful.”
Later, at the castle of the Count of Alta, where dozens of tubs of “something” were delivered to him, their wives and children had a stroke, and the Count of Alta, with a white, burned-out face, pledged his eternal loyalty to the Emperor.
(I must escape quickly…)
Skelly, who was forced to go along to the end, sneaked away from their surveillance while Flare was physically and mentally hunting down the Count of Alta.
Skelly’s attempts to take over the Caenista Empire had been foiled, and even though there was no proof to the contrary, the Solvet kingdom was already known to be involved, and even though the King was in a weak position in the alliance, his every action would now be monitored, further weakening his already weak position in the alliance between the Principality of Arceides, the Caenista Empire, the Demon Tribe of Caenista, and the Nation of Belias.
And even though what had happened had been an act of God, he could not shut up the Count’s mouth in front of the Emperor, and if Skelly returned to his country without any reason, he would be imprisoned.
“…I wonder what we should do.”
If he can’t return to his country, he might as well continue to live as an adventurer in a country other than the Alliance of the Four Kingdoms.
He was concerned about his mother, but if Skelly did not return, it would not be so bad to say that he was a martyr.
“Alright, let’s go with that.”
Skelly, who had decided to act immediately once he made up his mind, tried to leave this territory first with his luggage, but the moment he returned to the castle town, he was captured by several assassin maids.
“…Eh?”
*Kashin…
A fiery silver-haired girl appears in front of Skelly, who was stunned by the hard-looking mithril shackles on his hands, and a long chain end tied to the shackles.
“Oh, Skelly. Where are you going?”
“Fl, Your Majesty… Flare.”
With shackles put on his hand, Skelly muttered with a pale face, but Flare simply pulled the chain and started to walk away.
“I’m going home.”
“”””Yes””””
“Wait a minute!”
Skelly exclaimed amidst Lilia and the maid squad, who obediently followed, and Flare glanced back over her shoulder.
“My Caenista is short on staff. I picked up a ‘booty’ who knows some national politics and is good-natured enough not to betray me. What’s the harm in using such a trophy?”

“You…”
Skelly thought that what she was saying was terrible, but Skelly thought that the strong, beautiful blue eyes that stared into his were beautiful.
“Besides, you know Solvet’s weakness, and if you don’t betray me, I’ll even take your mother into custody?”
“I knew it, wait a minute!”
Thus ended the first rebellion in the Caenista Empire, and a few months later, a man called [Pervert] took the vacant position of Prime Minister, and it was said that he gained the upper hand in negotiations with the Solvet kingdom by exploiting their weakness.
A few years later, the first empress was said to have given birth to several heirs, but the fathers of the children remained unknown.
