The Freed S*aves Became Obsessed

“And then, on my way to the Holy Kingdom, I stopped by here and ran into you!”

Arpia’s long story finally came to an end.

Although he had learned the details, his thoughts remained tangled. It only left him more confused.

Let’s break it down step by step.

Not long after I left Noctar, Narsha came looking for me.

Considering the timing, it meant she had followed me almost immediately after I left House Brian.

Without even informing her family. That’s why Count Brian pointed to me as the culprit.

‘The Reaper’s Merchant Guild was being run under my name?’@@novelbin@@

He knew of the guild’s existence. A sudden upstart guild that had appeared out of nowhere and rapidly expanded its influence using elves.

He never imagined it was a collaboration between Narsha and Arpia.

More than that—

‘While the master was working his ass off, they were out there playing tycoon on their own?’

I held myself back from doing what I wanted, too!
Ungrateful slaves, the lot of them.

No, that’s not right.
They’re not my slaves.
Don’t get confused.

“You. What on earth possessed you to call yourself the queen’s consort? Do you have any idea how chaotic the elven society became because of that?”

“Haha. It just… happened somehow.”

“…Don’t tell me you actually like the queen?”

“No way. I’ve never even seen her face. I only lied to keep the conversation friendly. No ulterior motives.”

“Then it’s fine.”

So, Arpia had set out on this journey—because of him.

Though he felt wronged—seriously, that snowfield elf had only been joking. Why would she take it seriously?

Some jokes just shouldn’t be believed.
