In the mansion's drawing room, Rene looked at Lucy with genuine confusion as he asked.

"Why would you do something like that?"@@novelbin@@

"Because I don't want to cater to those damn idiots."

"If that's the case, it would be better to invite the high-ranking people right from the start and crush them. If we get Karia to spread rumors, they'll run away on their own."

While Lucy's value was undoubtedly high, it was almost too high to handle.

Could there be anyone in the current continent who could match her worth? Thus, even the powerful had to tread carefully around Lucy.

If she showed signs of being upset and decided to strike back, how could anyone handle that?

"Last time, a certain prince kept hitting on me even after I told him to go away."

"What an idiot. Not even worth remembering. He’ll be forgotten soon enough."

If Lucy expressed her displeasure with that prince's country, that prince would naturally lose everything.

Turning Lucy into an enemy was akin to declaring war on the entire continent.

It would be better to erase that person and pretend nothing happened.

"...She's family, though."

"After what your mother did recently, you’re still saying that?"

"Oh... well, that..."
