The Case When I Created A Secret Society of Darkness Because I Reincarnated As A Villain, But For So

Yet another unfortunate thing for them is that I knew in advance about the attack on Sufia during the exercise.

This is exactly what one means when they say, “The devil has the gold rod.” [TN: The strong has the perks which makes him more strong.]

Personally, even though it was my own fault before my memories of my previous life returned, I would like to ask His Highness to help me since I broke off the engagement on my own, and I can’t explain why I am helping her after what happened.

But I hate myself for being so self-centred in my actions, and I want to prevent myself from being crushed by a sense of guilt. So I would rather be hypocritical in what I do than do good in what I don’t. Somehow, it balances the spirit.

I feel like dashing out and punching my past self for adding unnecessary work to my life.

If I had not broken off the engagement in the first place, Sufia would not be attacked, and Bridgette’s family would not have gotten involved in the crime.

As my thoughts swirled around in circles in my head, I kept my attention on Sufia and the three red dots that indicated hostility to her without being suspicious.

“Excuse me. I’m going to go pick some flowers.”

“Oh, I see. Then I’ll help you with that.”

“His Highness Claude, please stay here.”

“Why Angelica?”

“Nothing too much. Go quickly while you still can, Sufia-sama.”

“Y-yes.”

Two hours of walking through the forest passed, and when we were almost halfway to our destination, Sufia seemed to experience a physiological phenomenon.

Incidentally, Sufia and His Highness Claude were in different groups, but for some reason, she was working with His Highness Claude’s group.

This made me swear in my mind because I couldn’t take future measures since I don’t know which route they’ll take.

Though, when Sufia indirectly mentioned the physiological phenomenon in a roundabout way—”I’m going to pick some flowers”—, His Highness Claude was stopped by a member of his group Angelica Anderson when he said he would like to follow her. She is the eldest daughter of a baron and one of the heroines in Dragon Fantasy Night – Labyrinth of Love.

Angelica, with her long red wavy hair and slanting eyes, lectured His Highness, Prince Claude, in a tone and manner that was very much that of a tsundere character.

I wonder if she’s happy to be alone with him.

Unlike her stern expression, her cheeks turned vermilion, which I find somewhat endearing.

I left the grinning Angelica behind and headed off in the direction where Sufia had disappeared.

On the map, the three red dots surrounding Sufia quickly moved away from the group.
