When My Enemies Began to Regret

“Lady, can we leave now?”

“…”

“Lady?”

Even if something was off, it was firmly off.

Fanora barely managed to get into the carriage with the help of the coachman. Still, her thoughts were in a mess even after the carriage wheels began to roll. She just keeps thinking, ‘This situation is wrong.’

<(Continued from last chapter)

#1. Guelder Mansion (night)

After persuasion, their relationship was eventually allowed. But at dinner that evening, Eyal revealed that a major obstacle remains. According to Eyal, if there is a marriage between the dukes families, there is a possibility that the noble will surpass the royal authority, so King Balmong will strongly oppose it.

Gathering at the table, the Guelder family and Aloken Jalier began a discussion.

Vasago: It’s absurd. We have such a mighty power, but how long do we have to keep an eye on Balmong? Look at how the noble, with their unreasonable strengthening of the royal family, is going to look like in this kingdom!

Eyal: (Angry) Vasago! How dare you say such a foolish thing!

Horeis: Honey, it must be because she’s still young.

Eyal: Have you forgotten who appointed the current king? Thanks to them, we were able to maintain our family’s power. What a fool to speak against the royal family on such a matter.

Aloken: That’s right. Vasago, it’s best to lie down if you don’t want to look like the hardliners who were purged last time.

Eyal looked at Aloken with surprised eyes.

Aloken: Father, but doesn’t Guelder have a way?

Eyal: I didn’t allow you to call me that.

Aloken: Marquis Andras would be helpful.

Eyal: Do you think those war maniacs would take our side?>

“I see. As expected, this is the original flow.”

It was four days later. Fanora murmured, recalling the midnight novel that had appeared this time.

Now they’ve gone beyond a secret relationship and even got permission from her parents.

This story was always a love story for the main character. Aloken finished talking with Vasago’s parents starting with this chapter.

“It was supposed to be like this…”

Fanora took notes on a few things, flapping a diary containing the midnight novel. What she wrote down was a brief timeline.

The first time Aloken and Vasago in the novel met was around the age of 16. What I’m currently seeing is a 17-year-old Vasago, who was about to have her birthday.

But what about the reality? Vasago and herself had already turned 17 years old. Besides, Aloken finally had his first meeting with Vasago at the salon.

“…”

Nevertheless, Aloken did not change his attitude toward her.

“Why didn’t you fall for Vasago?”

Everything remained the same, but on the contrary, it changed greatly from the fate in the original.

“Ha…”

How is the end of this novel?

Fanora was only an extra villainess who died in the middle, so she couldn’t see the end of the world after all, but the end of such a romantic novel was set. The book’s cover would be closed with the sentence, ‘Aloken and Vasago got married despite all adversity and lived happily ever after.’

“…”

Fanora thought for a moment. And after asking herself several times, she came up with this result.

“Isn’t the water already spilled?”

It was just the change of the person Aloken was interested in. If she now whines about changing someone else’s fate, the events that have taken place will laugh at her.

If everything was really ‘as it was,’ she would still have to watch Naverius, who was having an affair, would be torn apart by Seir whenever she had a chance and be treated coldly by Ronwe…

It must have been that kind of life, but the world has changed significantly. It’s not strange to add one more.

However, they weren’t here anymore.

Right. Now what am I supposed to do? Matchmaking Aloken with that woman? Let’s just ignore it.

So Fanora decided not to dwell on the matter any longer. Even if she struggled like this, the wish she had to fulfill in the future didn’t change.

“Hmm.”

Anyway, back to the topic of revenge.

She sat on the bed and scratched her hand. It was good that information has increased thanks to this strange magic seen every midnight, but it was time in the novel to slowly face a huge event.

It began to show signs from next year’s New Year’s Day, and around my 18th birthday, war with Gamiel was declared.

I felt sorry for the main characters who were in the middle of a romantic relationship.

The kingdom of Kasius was about to start a new war. That was a fact that would never change, whether in the novel or now.

“I’d like to finish everything before that.”

War. As she thought of that word, a young man suddenly appeared in her mind.

Come to think of it, when will Carl come back?

One character died in the war that was about to come.

I thought he was definitely in ‘Dangerous Love.’

The reason she hadn’t seen Carl in the novel so far was simple. Unlike Fanora, Carl was an extra whose name wasn’t even mentioned.

I can’t believe Carl is the lowest of the lowest.

Because in this novel, only Andras’s eldest daughter and second son were related to Vasago. Their role was also simple. Even if they appeared, all they said to Vasago was, ‘How can such a gemstone rot her ability in the social world!’, ‘Coveted talent,’ and ‘Unlike other insincere nobles, she’s interesting. Like that, Andras’ family was a device that showed how great a genius Vasago was in swordsmanship.

If there was an author of this novel— Of course, there would be— They would have thoughts that scenes would be vicarious satisfaction for the readers.

To think that great warriors like Marquis Andras recognize your ability and want to covet you. Even though it was pretty pleasant for Fanora to think about it. But of course that wasn’t the important issue.

“No, but why does Carl not have contact with Vasago?”

She thought seriously about it for a moment. The longer she thought about it, the more and more her hair, which Cecil caressed, got more tangled.

“With an appearance like that, he should be appearing in a romantic novel…”

There were many attractive people of the opposite sex by Vasago’s side. It was natural, considering that she was the main character of the romance novel. Duke Aloken, Chancellor of the Kingdom, second son of Andras, handsome butler…

Ah, and including the empty-headed Naverius.

Vasago charmed all of those attractive characters and placed them as potential candidates for her lover someday. Fanora thought it wouldn’t be strange if Carl was in such a lover candidate. But in the end, he wasn’t there.

“…If Carl had been mentioned in the novel, I would at least know how he died in the war.” She rose from her seat with a sad heart.

It was wonderful for her to get her revenge one by one. She found the smile she had lost, and now she was able to calmly pass through the sad dawn. Everything was getting better.

“Cecil~”

Jingle, jingle, jingle. She then rang the handbell, which was on the table.

“Did you call for me?”

“Is the preparation ready? Since I have a long way to go, I want you to pack a sandwich too.”

It was time to make her dream come true.

“If it’s over, let’s go. Being invited to a concert by princess feels like a dream!”

<Kasius Western Occupation Zone>

Meanwhile, leaving the peaceful capital behind.

“I found out that it was a bait!”

A battle between Sankrit and Kasius soldiers was taking place in the border area. Their kingdom had already been defeated, and their territories were taken away. Still, the surviving Sankrit remained in the occupied territories, plundering and causing friction. However, such friction was over today.

“Keep your distance!”

The weapons collided and made a sound. The dark-skinned warrior shouted. Sankrit’s mounted troops sped up their horses and drew their bowstring. Soon, arrows rained down from the sky.

“Uaaargh!”

“Argh!”

However, Kasius’s troops in this battle weren’t easy to defeat. Despite the terrain they had lived in for a lifetime, the Sankrit was soon pushed into a corner.

“Damn you Kasius!”

The soldiers of the mounted troops fall down one by one. At the same time, deaths began to appear among the knights of the Kasius. But then.

“Uh, argh…!”

He could see something in the distance through the murky sandstorm. A knight of Kasius pierced their warrior with a spear. At the same time, the vice general who led the Sankrit army faced a scary color.

Beeeeeep!

The vice commander blew the whistle announcing danger. However, it was already too late the moment he checked that ‘knight’ with his naked eye.

“No…!”

Soon after, a knight with red hair attacked alone. The Sankrit troops trembled at the sight of his face. They soon tried to shoot and kill that knight. But that knight was never hit by their arrows. In an instant, that knight rode his horse through the gaps in the formation.

“Commander!”

The troops of Sankrit escorting the commander stepped forward. While they were buying time, the commander tried to clear by hiding himself.

“Uh?”

But at that moment. The red-haired man started his next charge. And a few seconds later.

“!”

There was a series of terrible screams that rang out from behind. The fleeing commander involuntarily turned his head away. Then, what he saw in front of him with his own eyes.

“Gasp!”

Many of the Sankrit elite soldiers were rolling on the ground like trash. “Evil, evil. You’re a demon…!”

The commander gave up his escape and took up his weapon. Then, the knight who had knocked down all his men smiled with his eyes half-moon shaped.

In a little while, the point of view returns to the battlefield. Sankrit’s troops didn’t give up despite being outnumbered and facing Kasius’s troops. However, it wasn’t long before a red-haired man appeared. At the same time, the outcome of this battle was decided.

“Look at barbaric Sankrit!”

“!”

From short hair to a young face. A young man who appeared covered in bloodstains raised something and shouted at the Sankrit’s troops.

“Your commander has been defeated by me!” Carl spoke in a foreign language. What he showed to Sankrit’s troops was none other than their commander’s head.

The appearance of a human from the Andras family was like a disaster. Even that strong commander died so easily!

“Ga-gasp…”

In an instant, Sankrit’s troops lost their fighting spirit. The frightened enemy was no longer a match for Kasius.

“Aaaaargh!”

“Uaargh!”

After that, it was a one-sided annihilation from Kasius.

Carl stomped his feet on a horse. No one could stop his skilled rush. Again, two enemy soldiers were killed in an instant by him.

“Hahaha!”

A long time later, at some point, the battle came to an end, and the vast plain became quiet. The red-haired knight finally caught his breath.

“Fyuu.”

The result of the battle was a great victory for Kasius. However, just because you won the battle didn’t mean it was refreshing.

“It’s cool.”

Far away, a cool wind blew over the sunset on the horizon. The humidity of the air felt at the end of the nose was now very pleasant. Carl thought with a warm smile on the corners of his mouth. “It’s already fall!”

This is how the fall of the Kingdom Kasius began.
