The Villainess That Was Once A VRMMO player

“Hou, it really won’t cause any trouble for my family, will it? What would the neutral nobles say if His Highness were to die in my domain…”

“Well, some trouble is inevitable, but I don’t think it will be that bad.
It would have been more troublesome if he had died in the capital, but the Devil’s Forest is extremely dangerous, and there are no nobles in the capital willing to blame you and then face the demons on your behalf.”

“I wish that were the case, but…”

“Well, it’s a shame to lose a tool like that…”

“Carol’s a fool! If only she could live, so that she could be used to negotiate with the other nobles again.
Who do you think is to blame for the ridicule of my House of Arceides? I raised her, and now she’s repaying that debt!”

“Well, I’m sure your wife will feel better once that thing is gone.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Gallus, the prime minister’s chief advisor, inwardly scoffs at the outraged Count Arceides.

Not only that, but she possessed great magical power and was said to be favored by the spirits of darkness, so she would be a valuable asset to their army if she could be trained to become a slave.

Gallus, as the prime minister’s faithful advisor, was glad that he could get rid of Camille so easily, while sneering at the Count of Arceides, who did not know the value of a golden egg and was willing to sell it off for a low price.

(Then, shall I also see the end of His Highness?)
