Reborn As Villain's
Chapter 45: Vanessa's Plan And Reiner's Request

{Halo, good night miss Vanessa}.

"Good night too, Brandon-san".

Because of the curiosity he felt after seeing Frey, Dylan, Awin, Ritzia and Filaret who went somewhere in a hurry.

Vanessa decided to contact one of the people working at the Palace. Ask them if there is anything they might know.

And the person she contacted was Brandon Swift. A middle-aged man who had been a senior servant in the Palace for over 30 years, as well as the one who became the personal servant of His Highness Conrad.

{Sorry before..... But, there is a need for what Princess Vanessa to bother calling me personally}.

With a slightly anxious tone Brandon asked what purpose Vanessa called him directly. And Vanessa then gave her reasons.

"Brandon-san..... Did you ever call Mr Leon to discuss something?".

{Eh?..... During these 2 days, I have not seen His Majesty contact anyone not even Mr. Leon}.

"Hmmm....... Then, have you had any meetings or discussions with anyone lately?".

{E...... If it's not wrong...... A few days ago..... His Majesty held a discussion with Mr. Rufus...... What's wrong, miss?}.

(Rufus? He means the Jutek Commander who always tries to relax with the father? What is there need? Anyway, why people like him who do not want to love me support, should be removed from his position).

Hearing the name Rufus, Vanessa was reminded of the military commander of the Chivalric Order branch, Rufus Dom Silva.

Although it can be counted as his father's "old friend. Vanessa didn't like the guy at all.

Initially, Vanessa wanted to ask for support from the military if there would be a war of power struggle between her and the Ritzia.

When he managed to get the support of the Magical Order, led by a Royal witch named Helga Fin Cifer aka Zuzan's mother. Vanessa also plans to gain the support of the Chivalric Order.

However, unfortunately it was rejected outright by Rufus as the commander-in-chief of the Chivalric Order. He also said that the "Chivalric Order will always be on the neutral side".

Finding that fact, Vanessa could not hide her hatred for the man. He secretly tries to get Rufus fired and stripped of his title.

There were even some commanders in the Chivalric Order who agreed with him. Especially Casillas fou Chamble, the father of Stella fou Chamble.

But for some reason, it never happened. And His Majesty still seems to keep Rufus as a Chivalric Order Commander.

"Hmmm..... Can you tell me what they're talking about?".

{A-Ano..... Sorry miss..... As you know..... I am His Majesty's personal servant..... And I've been sworn not to hear----}.

"Brandon-san".

Vanessa cut Brandon's words in a very intimidating tone. And it managed to scare Brandon.

"Tell me what you know...... Or..... You don't want to see your family anymore...... Especially your favorite grandson".

In a cold tone Vanessa threatened Brandon if he did not want to tell her what he heard.

{Hiiii...... Please miss..... Please don't involve my family in this matter...... All right I'll tell you everything I know}.

Because of the fear of Vanessa's threat that could potentially hurt her family. So Brandon had no choice but to tell him everything he heard and he indirectly reneged on his oath.

{That's how I know, miss.... The rest I don't know menahu}.

"Hmmm..... Nice work.... If you do what I say..... Then I won't take your family with me..... You understand, don't you, Brandon-san?".

{I-iya, miss..... I understand}.

After that, Vanessa turned off her Protas device and began to sink into her mind.

(I know this is a matter concerning the security of the Kingdom..... But why didn't you tell me anything?...... Not to mention, Father and Rufus-san agreed to ask for help to master Leon..... Who indirectly chose Dylan and Nee-sama to solve this problem).

"Hmmm..... Now how do I take advantage of this situation, huh?".

Vanessa kept trying to think hard to figure out how she could take advantage of this situation to her advantage. Until finally, he smiled as he managed to find an idea.

"I know what to do....... First, I will deliberately leak all of this and manipulate it under the pretext that my man found their location..... Second, I seduced them to help me eradicate those people..... Third, I will announce this achievement to the public..... That way, then my reputation will be better in the eyes of the community...... Hm.... But, I need someone I can make "the cover".... Who yeah?".

Vanessa thinks back to determining who the person is fit to be the "cover" of this whole plan.

When the mind had already found a suitable person, Vanessa immediately smiled widely. And then he began to step into the Mansion which this time the goal was the Hall where the students of the Estonian Academy were being gathered.

(---------------------)

The Mansion Hall.

The current disciples were still a little panicked by the incident that had just happened. That was why they were gathered in the Hall by the teachers in order to be able to help them a little more calm.

"Dominic how are they?".

The man Jason was questioning was Dominic de Howard. He is described as a handsome man who is relaxed but not as relaxed as Frey with his hair red brick and eyes the same color. He's a teacher in charge of Chemistry, it looks like from the white lab robes he wears.

"As you saw yourself, right?..... They are still panicking about this".

Dominic answered while lighting his cigarette. But, suddenly Jason took the cigarette out of his mouth, dropped it on the floor and stepped on it.

"WOI, JASON!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!! THAT'S MY LAST CIGARETTE!!!!".

"We are in front of the disciples.... At least hold yourself for a second..... After all, don't smoke a day..... It won't kill you, will it?"

"But my lips will be bitter all day if I don't smoke one cigarette".

"Stop being a smoker".

"Ugh".

Dominic can't dwell on Jason telling him to stop being a smoker. For him, it was the most difficult thing.

"ALL PLEASE ATTENTION!!!".

Suddenly there was the sound of a student echoing in the hall. When everyone turned their eyes towards the podium of the Hall.

There was already Reiner who seemed to be the one who spoke just now. After paying attention to the surroundings and managing to get everyone's attention, Reiner began to talk again.

"Schoolers I'm proud of.... I know that we're panicking right now, because of this kidnapping incident.... But even so, I want to ask one thing of all of you".

Reiner then bent his body forward, which made everyone confused.

"PLEASE LEND ME YOUR STRENGTH!!!".

Hearing Reiner pleading with them to lend him strength made them even more confused.

"You know you must be confused by what I just said.... So, let me explain".

Then Reiner began to regulate his breathing and continued his words.

"Actually I already know who the group that kidnapped Miss Claudia".

Reiner's words made everyone surprised instead of playing.

"Eh?".

"What the fuck?".

"What's the truth?".

That is, everyone's reaction when they heard what Reiner just said.

"They are the researchers from the Strost Kingdom who conducted crazy experiments secretly in this Kingdom".

Instantly everyone was surprised not to play, even Jason and Dominic to widen his eyes.

"Indeed, I still don't know why they kidnapped Miss Claudia..... But, thanks to a spy sent by Princess Vanessa a few days ago...... Now I know that they're doing some kind of inhumane expressive thing that's already taking a lot of casualties..... The goal, they were to create an army of monsters that they would use to attack the capital..... That's why, I plan to stop their cruel acts and free the people they kidnap to become guinea pigs".

Then Reiner lowered his head while squeezing both of his arms.

"But, I'm aware..... My own strength will not be enough.... That's why, I want to borrow the power of all of you..... And together we will save the hostages and save this Kingdom from their threat..... Because it's all..... LEND ME YOUR STRENGTH!!!!".

There was silence after Reiner made a speech to borrow the strength of the students of the Estonian Academy to fight the researchers from the Strost Kingdom.

"Well, let's do it".

"Let's get those people".

"If Reiner-san or Miss Vanessa are asking..... We will be happy to help you".

"I don't know Claudia.... But, for Reiner-san's sake I'll do it".

They were all eagerly burning up ready to help Reiner. Meanwhile, Vanessa smiles satisfied that everything goes according to her plan.

"Miss Vanessa".

A girl's voice suddenly called out to her, but she was Stella.

"Are you going to intervene too?".

"of course..... It is my responsibility as the King's Daughter.... I have to catch those people".

"In that case, please allow me to protect you..... I won't let them touch and hurt the lady".

"Alright, Stella.... Please cooperate".

Vanessa allows Stella to come along with the goal as her bodyguard.

Meanwhile, Dominic and Jason simply stare at all of those events by raising one of their eyebrows as a sign that they don't understand what's going on.

"Whoi, Jason..... What's wrong with that kid?..... He said he wanted to fight the people from the Strost Kingdom?..... Is he crazy?".

"I don't care if he's sane or crazy?...... But what bothers me is..... If what she and Princess Vanessa say is true...... How could he know about something so secretive like this?".

Jason did not care whether Reiner's speech and actions that asked for the help of the entire student to fight the researchers from the Strost Kingdom were insane or not.

The problem for him is. How could a Royal Princess be able to find out such important and secret information so easily.

Not to mention, he had easily leaked the information to a person who had nothing to do with the internal affairs of the Kingdom.

"uh? What are you talking about? Did you forget who that girl was? She is the second Princess, the famous Vanessa Sera Ingrid..... It was natural for him to know important and secret things like this..... The spies are everywhere, bro".

Dominic said while smoking a cigarette in his mouth. Jason who saw that, could only stare in astonishment.

"Woi, Dominic where did you get that cigarette?".

"Oh, this..... It's not a cigarette..... Just a thick paper that I roll until it is solid and full-shaped..... Well, let's just say this..... Emergency cigarette".

Jason just stared silently at Dominic without being able to say anything. Not long after, a female teacher climbed onto the podium.

"All please calm down...... And don't take any rash action".

The female teacher had a pretty face with her hair that was short red and tied in a ponytail to the right. The appearance is increasingly attractive with a white hem shirt and his chest protruding from inside his shirt and it is supported with black pencil trousers and shoes can be brown.

He frantically tried to prevent the excited students and was about to go to fight against the people from the Strost Kingdom.

"You are still children..... It's not time for you to fight people like them.... And also, you don't know how horrible they are".

It was with great despair that the female teacher was trying to prevent the disciples from taking any careless actions.

"What are you talking about, Monica-sensei?".

"Do you want to let those people attack us?".

"True what Reiner-san said.... We have to attack them before they attack us".

The voices of the disciples echoed in the hall trying to challenge the orders of Monica who was actually worried about what they were going to do.

"De-hear all...... I-I-I know you guys are so excited..... It's just..... You guys are still easy...... And you have no idea how scary the battlefield is...... Not to mention, you want to attack without knowing anything about them..... As a teacher I can't allow that".

Monica frantically tried to restrain the students who still wanted to fight against the people from the Strost Kingdom.

"Did you underestimate us, Monica-sensei?".

"You think we're weak, huh?".

"We're experienced enough, you know?".

"Against people like them, it's not a problem for us".

It's not that it's getting quieter and thinking about what Monica said. The students accuse Monica of underestimating their powers and abilities.

Seeing his students who continue to fight, Monica who basically has a bad nature and easily panic. Can't do anything but be confused about what to say.

"Monica-sensei".

Monica immediately turned her head towards Reiner who called out to her.

"Sensei's..... I can understand that you are worried about our safety..... But it's not just about saving Miss Claudia and the hostages..... But, this also concerns the security of the Kingdom.... And as nobles, it is our duty of the new generation to take action..... Because the future of the Ingrid Kingdom is upon our shoulders".

Reiner confidently tried to convince Monica not to worry about them.

"I-that's right..... B-but, you guys are still kids and inexperienced.... If you do it carelessly..... I-i-i'm afraid.... I-it's going to inflict some kind of trauma on you guys..... Because that....".

"Do you say that we just have to be quiet when they do something inhumane?".

"Ethto...".

Reiner decisively cut off Monica's words and asked a question that made her panic even more.

"They've done inhumane things..... If it continues, there will be many victims..... That's why we and I will all go and fight them.... We all believe with all our heart that..... No matter how strong they are.... We must be aka------".

PLAQUE!!!!.

"Eh?".

An extremely loud slap immediately landed onto Reiner's face and his voice echoed throughout the hall.

All who heard that could only fall silent watching a girl suddenly appear out of nowhere and instantly land a slap into Reiner's face.

It took Reiner how long to really be able to digest what happened. And while touching her slapped cheek. He looked towards the girl who slapped him.

"That's enough of your stupidity, Reiner".

How surprised he was, when he found out that the girl who slapped him just now was none other than his childhood friend and fiance, Lafia Fin Flight.
