Chapter 21: Plan
As morning came, I walk around the city and listen to the rumors which are spreading fast like a wildfire.
"Hey did you also receive a recording crystal?" a middle-aged woman said
"Yes, did you watch it?" an another middle age woman said
"Of course, I never thought that the princess has an affair with his knight."
"On top of that, his knight is famous for always going to a brothel just to have a night with a guy."
"Is he pretending to be a gay to cover his relationship with the princess?"
"I think that there is a high possibility that what you said is true."
"Then what about Lord Liam, he participates the tournament in order to marry the princess, and he will compete with her this afternoon."
"This is getting interesting, let's watch it later in the magic news that will be broadcast. I'm sure that the reporter will surely come for Lord Liam."
"Un, let's do that."
I walk towards a bar and order something to drink and listen to the guy near me.
"Kid, did you watch it?" said a Muscular guy said
"Yes, I even use it as my material in sharpening my Holy sword." a teenager guy said
"hahahahah, then let's treasure the recording crystal and make it as our family heirloom muwahahah"
I stood up and walks towards the direction of my mansion
The plan is proceeding smoothly. Oh Catherine, my beloved Catherine, you should not have crossed my bottom line. You didn't know that your knight has become my slave and already confess to me that you said to him that if the plan is successful, you will use your power as a princess and you will send someone powerful to capture me and make me into a lover with that shitty favian!
You didn't know that after I left your room, I send an expert in memory reading to delete your memory of me being a vampire and to know what your plan is.
After learning what your plan, I have decided to destroy you!
How dare you fantasize about me making love with a guy! Don't you know that my Divine weapon is used for immortal caves!
Since you sacrifice your virginity to me, I will spare your life. But as a punishment, I will let you live in shame!
I arrive at my mansion and saw a crowd gathering at the gate, when they saw me; they rush towards me and bombard me with lots of question. I told them that I will answer them one by one.
"Lord Liam what will you say about the video that is spreading in the city?" A female reporter asked
I present a pained expression and I even manage to produce some tears.
"I am pained! My dream has been shattered along with my heart!" wahh I want to puke, how can I say something embarrassing
"Then Lord Liam, will you still continue and battle the princess?"
"Yes"
"Can you tell us why?"
"Because I want to hear her story and why did that happen."
After that, they asked me more question and left after I answered them all.
Noon arrived just like that and I arrived and stood in the arena and I wait for the princess's arrival.
But what appeared before me was not the princess but a guard of the castle
"Lord Liam, the princess wants to invite you to her room."
"Right now?"
"Yes"
"Alright"
I followed the guard and arrive at the princess's room
The moment I entered, I saw the princess sitting in the chair while reading a book. I sit on a nearby chair and look at the princess. She looks at me and said with a sad look and tears on her face.
"Why?" she asked and tears started to fall from her eyes
I checked my surroundings if there is someone listening or some recording crystal. And I really detected a recording crystal hidden in a teddy bear.
"Crack" I shattered it with my magic arrow
"You don't need to pretend, I already know what your plan is" I said with a cold look on my face
After hearing me and seeing the shattered crystal, her crying expression vanished and was replaced by an emotionless expression instead.
"Can you tell me how much you know about my plan?" she said emotionlessly
"Alright, your plan is to let me win and let the audience witness how strong I am.
After witnessing our battle, the audience will think that I was an extremely strong archer. Your plan will begin with that. Based on the pig and his father's attitude, they won't allow me to get married to you even I win and will look for me in the arena and pressure me to give up the marriage. That's where your love dust comes into play.
Because I inhaled the love dust, I will love you forever and will not allow anyone to separate you from me. So I will argue and made a conflict with them.
The moment the night falls, you will send powerful assassin and kill the pig with a bow and you will spread rumors that someone saw me sneaking in the count's manor and you will frame me that I was the killer of the pig, The citizens will believe the rumor since they saw how powerful I am and how much I love you.
Then the count will rush into the castle and will demand my head. You will obstruct the count and you will say that you need to interrogate me as my wife.
After you brought me into a room, you will feed me a soup with a strong aphrodisiac on it and you will then call favian over and let him rape me.
After favian is done with me, you will pass me to the count and you will say that I confess and did it because of you.
In the count's rage, he will behead me immediately. After I die, you will have an excuse that you don't want to marry anyone except me. The king won't have a choice but to allow it and you won't have to worry about the king using you in a political marriage.
"So you know everything huh!" Catherine sighed
"You see, I can forgive you for trying to frame me for killing that pig. In fact, if you just asked me and give me reward for killing that pig and bribe me to lose in our duel, I will gladly do so.
But you see Catherine, You cross my bottom line and tried to humiliate me and become that shitty favian his plaything! That is what I can't forgive.
The moment I enter your room, I already notice the love dust and favian lust toward me So I deliberately pretend that I love you and I didn't notice favian following me in his invisible mode.
After going home, I captured favian and made him into a slave and told him to rape you.
An eye to an eye, you tried to get me rape, I let someone rape you!" I said calmly
Catherine looks at me and sighed
"With this, I achieved my goal to prevent my father to marry me into someone, but not in a good reputation that I plan but in an embarrassing one instead. I won't apologize since you already punished me for what I've done, but I hope that our enmity will come to an end and if possible, I want to befriend you instead." She said emotionlessly but sincerely
I look at her for a momnet and think of the pros and cons.
"Alright, let's be friends from now on, Catherine"
Catherine only look at me and smiled
"Guard!" Catherine calls over
"Yes!" a guard entered
"Announced to everyone that I surrender, but I won't marry Lord Liam since I am too embarrassed to face Lord Liam. As for his rank, announced to the people that as an apology to breaking Lord Liam's heart I grant him a title of a royal Marquis and present him a piece of my land."
"As you command!"
"Is it acceptable?" Catherine asked
"Yes" I said calmly
I arrive at my mansion and called Fendrel over.
"Fendrel, the teleportation gate is now available to us, I want you to look at our next destination
"What is your requirement of the destination master?"
"Hmm… Look into a kingdom which allowed all races except for the evil ones to coexist together and the kingdom must have a dungeon to dive into."
"As you wish master"
"Beautiful elves, animal girls and dungeon, wait for me!"
And so, my Classic RPG life will finally start.
