“I know! You, Lord Black Mask!”

“Oh, do you understand?”

“Yes! Because you, in the black mask, and I are bound by fate. Just by closing my eyes, I can tell what you’re thinking as if I can see it in my hand. This is all camouflage, isn’t it? If it’s for that reason, I will also forgive you for this matter. However, I would like you to know that I am jealous of you relying on other women when you have a woman like me, no matter the reason…”

Wrong… She didn’t understand at all.

And when I somehow turned my attention to Princess Claude, I could see that her face was so distorted that I could tell she was pulling away from Sufia.

The look on her face said, ‘What is she talking about? Is she insane?” 

I hope she will use this as a lesson to the contrary.

Well, it is not unusual for people to be able to make normal judgments from a third-party perspective, even if it is difficult to understand when it comes to their own affairs. Though, I have no intention of complaining about Princess Claude’s case since it’s already over.

I would rather see her slave contract broken as soon as possible and return to a neutral relationship.

To do so, I will first need to solve the problem at hand as soon as possible.

“Damn it! I can’t end up here! What’s wrong with the leader? We might be able to handle three girls and a guy on our own!”

As I was thinking, one of the bandits, probably a lowly one, must have seen our attitude and thought he could do something against us.

He threw a tantrum and lunged at Princess Claude, brandishing a knife in her direction.

However, as someone who usually deals with slaves, the bandit’s movements were so slow that I almost yawned.

Then I grabbed the hand holding the knife of the bandit who was charging at us and took the sword that the slaves had made for me out of storage and cut it off in an instant.

However, because he still had some momentum, he was going to bump into Princess Claude at this rate, so I kicked him on the side and sent him flying.

Since I have ruined so many lives, I don’t think anyone would complain if I took one or two of their hands and then kicked them out.

Ba-dump…!

“W-what’s this feeling…?”

Princess Claude seems to have stiffened up out of fear due to the spur of the moment, but since I have no intention of caring for her, I ignore what she seems to be mumbling, pretending not to hear it.
