The Case When I Created A Secret Society of Darkness Because I Reincarnated As A Villain, But For So

Chapter 42: Use more effectively

I was thinking about my brother, and Bridgette lightly mentioned that she would take care of it.

I wondered if this is what one means by ‘blessed with the right people in your time of need,’ but her tone was so lighthearted that I was skeptical if she was alright.

At any rate, I can’t judge whether it’s a good idea or not until I hear what Bridgette has to say.

“Hmmm, does Bridgette know how to deal with it?”

“No, it’s no big deal. Just like it’s an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, we need a ducal family to deal with a duke’s family?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’ve turned all those from the ducal family members committing wrongdoings behind my back into my slaves. Of course, I let them know that if even one of them refused, I would publicly reveal that they were plotting to overthrow the state behind the scenes. Hence they all gladly fall into slavery.”

I was a little taken aback by the fact that this girl was doing something so outrageous behind the scenes, but I wanted to praise myself for not letting it show on my face.

“All we need to do now is transfer the slaves contracted to me to have you as the master, Kaisar-sama. And, as the Modells value justice and order, there are many ways for us to deal with the Kvist family, another ducal family.”

This girl was so loyal to me that she sold out her own family to me…

I was not surprised by Bridgette’s brokenness and abnormality, as I had been aware of it thanks to how I had spent almost every day close to her recently, but that did not mean that I was not attracted to her.

“I-Is there something I’m not doing correctly?”

The last time, I managed to endure it, but this time it seemed to show in my expression, albeit only slightly.

Bridgette can sense even the slightest change in my facial expression and begins to wince like a dog when caught in the middle of mischief.

“Ah, it’s all right. Bridgette has done nothing wrong. It’s the Kvist family’s problem in the first place, and it’s also a problem I have to deal with.”

I pat Bridgette’s head like a dog and think.

Certainly, as Bridgette said, the problem could be avoided by utilizing the Modell family, but the problem is how to do it.

If I can use the duke’s family as pawns, I must use them more effectively.

I decided that the best thing to do now was to make the Modells mine before they get destroyed by Bridgette, so I drove the carriage with Bridgette to the Modells’ household.
