■ Ulysses Herzogknut Stone’s Perspective
“Aah, that idiot Hal.”
Hal is gone, and in this solitary world, I hurl abuse.
The first and only person I came to love in that world is still all about his fiancée… no, his wife. Of course, I’m jealous.
Even so.
“I really didn’t think he’d change fate…”
That world was created by God (Placeholder), and its fate, even its future, is predetermined.
Therefore, I always thought that changing it would be defying God (Placeholder)’s providence, and that it was impossible for a mere human to do such a thing.
And yet.
“You changed her fate so easily… Alexandra of Chevalier.”
Originally, she was supposed to have her engagement cancelled by Hal, and her Blessing (Gift), the Dragon’s Favor, was supposed to lose its power and be erased from that world by the Dehauvalz Kingdom and the protagonist.
But Hal nullified the Engagement Cancellation with an even more forceful contract of the goddess called ‘marriage,’ deprived King Aival’s plot to destroy the Chevalier family of its justification, and even gained the support of that goddess, making it impossible for him to interfere.
If it comes to this, even God (Placeholder) cannot restore fate to its original state.
“I doubt that everything up to this point is exactly as Hal wanted… but even so, you have surpassed God (Placeholder), even if it’s just by this much.”
As a result, the story has become even more distorted, and I no longer know what the ending will be.
God (Placeholder) will surely show me the next fate (Placeholder) in an attempt to somehow restore the story.
“How long do I have to continue this role…”
I look up at the ceiling and mutter to myself.
Following the fate set by God (Placeholder) and guiding the Norse People to that fate is the destiny of those who have been given the Title of ‘Herzogknut.’
“But I can’t afford to be so weak,” I say.
I shrugged and chuckled, snapping my fingers.
“Eh!?”
King Aival’s eyes widened as he saw me suddenly appear in the throne room.
But it instantly changed to a demonic expression.
“Damn you… damn you, damn you, damn you!”
“Aha♪ What are you so angry about? Could it be because you’re incompetent?”
“Silence! What do you know!”
“What I know is that Aival is an ‘incompetent king’ who can’t even do something this simple.”
I coldly retorted to the screaming King Aival in a terribly low voice.
He couldn’t even properly raise the protagonist, Wilfred, and just when he finally found a replacement and the story was about to begin, he ruined everything. He should be grateful to me for not doing anything.
“I think you know, but if the story falls apart because of this, there’s no chance of you becoming God (Placeholder). On the contrary, everything might return to nothing due to God (Placeholder)’s anger.”
“Eh!? U, um…”
Haa… This idiot, he finally seems to have realized the gravity of the situation.
But even if he turns pale now, it’s too late.
“That’s why you should do better next time. Let’s see… In the main story, it was the ‘Tower of the Broken Lovelorn Doll’ in the southern part of the kingdom, right?”
It’s an episode that doesn’t greatly affect the story, but it’s still an important stepping stone for the protagonist to become stronger, and more importantly, he can get his loyal maid heroine.
Considering the future, we must faithfully advance the story.
“D-Don’t worry. I am supporting that one from the shadows, hiding the kingdom’s name, and according to the spies I have sent in, it is already in the final stages of completion.”
“I see, that’s good.”
Aah, he became so meek just by hinting at God (Placeholder).
If that’s the case, he should have been like that from the beginning.
“Well, I’m just looking forward to the results.”
I can’t be bothered to deal with it every time, and besides, Hal won’t be involved in this episode.
I glanced at King Aival, who was nodding repeatedly, and teleported to a certain place.
There.
“Hello. Please take care of Owen.”
“Leave it to me.”
Marion Shearer, a woman wearing a maid outfit, knelt down and gently placed a kiss of loyalty on my shoe.
