I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic State!

Chapter 70 - Volume 4 Epilogue + New Project Announcement!

Volume 4 Epilogue + New Project Announcement!

After being gunned down by Liam’s bullets of gratitude, the guide was walking down a dim alley.

“Eulisia... you’ve betrayed me!”

He never would’ve imagined that Eulisia’s revenge was just for her to throw Liam away in a rejection.

Why the hell did she need to enter the special forces for that?! –it couldn’t be helped that the guide felt betrayed.

Normally, those who had returned to the military for re-education don’t enlist into the special forces.

And so, the guide was now moving to see Yasushi– a person who hasn’t done anything this time.

“Yasushi. I swear, if you’re going to betray me too...”

Shedding blood from his mouth, what the guide saw while checking up on Yasushi’s situation was–

“That’s not enough! Liam was able to do this much easily– you’ll never be able to surpass your senior pupil at this rate!”

–living inside a hidden place, Yasushi had created a training ground and was currently instructing two children in the way of swordsmanship.

Looking at them, the guide could finally see the light of hope.

Two children were standing in unbalanced positions, gripping onto wooden swords as they sweated.

Although they were just little kids, they seemed to be stronger than Yasushi.

“I knew I could believe in you, Yasushi!”

Yasushi was currently teaching them the One-Flash.

Having already been proven as effective through Liam, he was apparently teaching the two in the same way using all the money he had left.

Educational capsules were used multiple times, he had invested everything he had to make them stronger.

There was a reason why Yasushi was going this far.

Visiting this place, some obviously corrupt knights had come.

“Hey, old man. Have you heard anything about the One-Flash swordmaster Yasushi being here?”

Some delinquent-like youths had arrived.

Yasushi immediately answered them,

“The One-Flash? I’ve never heard of such a thing.”

“Is that so? The information we collected said that the great knight Liam’s swordmaster was in this area...”

“What?! Such a celebrity was nearby?! I’m sorry, but I don’t know anyone of the sort.”

“Tch! Let’s go, you guys...”

–Just like that, more and more people were

“Lord Liam will never forgive anyone who ridicules Amagi. Kill all of them without exception, and send the bodies to their houses.”

The nobles and the knights were trembling.

Liam’s knights pulled out their swords, imagining Liam’s rage at the fools who dared to insult Amagi.

The soldiers lifted up their guns as well.

“...they dared to make a fool of Lord Liam. For that alone they deserve death.”

The underlings and the knights were then slaughtered by Liam’s subordinates– their then thrown to the Marquis’ mansion in the imperial capital.

◇ ◇ ◇

While I was relaxing in the top floor’s suite, Rosetta burst through the door.

“Darling, did you do something?!”

“What?”

I was currently sitting on the sofa while reading a book on my tablet terminal.

Various information was floating around.

“...an acquaintance from my training period had begged me intercede on her behalf.”

“Your acquaintance?”

“She’s a child who apprenticed together with me in the palace.”

What would such a person want with me?

“Who?”

“She’s the child of a Marquis house. Darling, they recently angered you, and now they want to apologise.”

“Is this person your friend?”

“Uh, that’s a bit...”

With how Rosetta had trouble answering, I could tell.

I’m sure they weren’t close.

Just as I was wondering what to do, Marie entered the room,

“Lord Liam, here’s the information we’ve collected on the Marquis’ house.”

“...oh, those people.”

After receiving and confirming their information, they seemed to actually be a fairly large house.

But the only thing fitting of their status was their size– their territory was comparable to that of the Berkley family.

Their territory wasn’t developed, and their fleet was basically a paper tiger.

They might’ve had a hundred thousand ships, but the Berkley family was stronger than them.

I knew they were small fries.

Marie was looking at me with her back straight.

I sat down on the couch with a relaxed posture and returned the documents to Marie.

“They annoy me, so let’s crush them. From here on, let’s start moving aggressively!”

Since it would be troublesome if this dragged out, I wanted to end this quickly.

“That might be difficult. The Marquis has already asked the Empire to intervene. They want to apologise.”

“What, they don’t want to fight?”

“After hearing that their heir picked a fight with you, Lord Liam, they immediately went through the procedures to disinherit him. They’re even willing to offer up their daughter to appease you. I’ve heard that she actually learned how to behave under Lady Rosetta’s tutelage during their apprenticeship.”

I felt like Rosetta’s expression turned cloudy there for a second.

Something definitely happened during their time training together.

It might be interesting to watch Rosetta’s reaction when keeping such a woman nearby.

Okay.

Let’s start moving things in that direction.

Thinking so, I started to get a little interested.

“Do you have a picture of her? Is she beautiful?”

“I do.”

When Marie prepared the holographic image, a girl who could definitely be considered a beauty was projected there.

She looked to be on the cusp of entering adulthood, as she still had many childish features.

–but she was no good.

I could never add someone like her as a mistress.

“I hate flashy girls like her. Tell that to the Marquis.”

“Are you sure? If you accept her as a mistress, the child born between the two of you could be the next Marquis.”

She was subtly telling me I could take over their house, but I didn’t want such a thing.

Also, I just didn’t like her.

She was beautiful, but she had the kind of face that screamed that she would betray me.

It gave off a similar feeling to that of my ex-wife.

She might have the looks, but I could never welcome such a girl as a mistress.

I prefer more modest girls.

“I’m not interested. If I wanted something like that, I could’ve just crushed them and taken their assets by force.”

When I said that, Rosetta’s expression instantly brightened.

“Darling!”

...no, it’s not like I refused them for you or anything.

Why are you so happy?

Marie seemed pleased as well,

“I thought this would happen.”

–so why did you even bring that last part up? Well, I guess from her position it was only natural to report that.

“Darling, I love you!”

Probably misunderstanding things, Rosetta went on to hug me.

W-wait, don’t! Even if you’re really happy right now give me some space!

“L-let go of me! Rosetta, stop!”

While I was still flustered and struggling, Amagi had brought some tea when she saw my figure.

“Oh, you two seem to be getting along... should come back with the tea two hours from now?”

“Y-you’re wrong! This is–!”

It was almost like I was caught in the middle of an affair.

At that moment, Marie seemed to misread the situation and went, “Make sure nobody interrupts Lord Liam and gets in the way!”

This person really was useless.

While I tried to pull away from Rosetta’s embrace, Eulisia burst into the room with a bunch of shopping bags.

It looks like she’s been visiting various stores today as well.

“Lord Liam~ I want to show off to my former colleagues, so let’s take a picture together!”

This person really was the worst.

She wanted a picture together with me just so she could brag to the mistresses of other nobles or her colleagues that were also aiming for a mistress position.

As I thought, a disappointing girl will always be disappointing.

Amagi and Marie grabbed Eulisia and dragged her out of the room.

“Eulisia, you should be more aware of your position as Lord Liam’s aide.”

“Don’t get in Lady Rosetta’s way, you piece of junk.”

“W-wait! Aren’t you treating me a bit too terribly?! I want another chance~”

The three of them left.

All that remained was Rosetta and I.

...this is bad.

Rosetta’s cheeks were flushed.

While I was thinking about how to escape from this place– the door burst open to Wallace yelling.

“Liam, we’ve got a problem!”

With Wallace suddenly charging into the room, Rosetta reluctantly let go of me and took her distance.

“Nice timing, Wallace! –so what happened?”

I guess it wasn’t wrong of me to make this guy my underling.

Rosetta fixed her appearance.

What the out-of-breath Wallace needed to tell me was– a new problem.

“It’s... different. T-the third prince.”

“The third prince?”

“The prince third in line to the throne wants to meet with you!”

At those words, Rosetta covered her mouth in surprise.

“The third prince... but why?!”

Wallace and Rosetta’s eyes gathered on me.

It looks like things are getting interesting again.
