Why Me? (Re: Zero X Male Reader)

(New chap) Chapter 31

Chapter 31. To Break Her Trust

It has been one hour ever since my talk about the Artifacts or Noble Phantasm that possibly could land in this World. After finishing our breakfast promising Emilia I will go to her room and talk to her, I decided to go back to my room to think of a plan to approach her about this particular topic.

Which is actually not easy now I try to think about it.

To Emilia, Roswaal J. Mathers is a kind and noble Magician that comes to her self isolation, he extends his hand to her and promises her a miracle, salvation, a chance for her to save her people, to rise above others, and become ruler of the nation.

A girl that has no one save for a single spirit that accompany her in the frozen forest and spends years alone in there, a girl that has no one and feared by others simply because of her being alive, then someone comes for her, entering the cold, frigid forest and encounter Beast of the End bravely and extends his hand to her, reaching for her where others reject her.

Is it any wonder that Emilia adores Roswaal greatly? Regardless, even if she found out the truth about his true nature and plans to use her, a kind girl like her will never be mad at him, she will forgive him. Unless he kills Puck or everyone she holds dearly just like in canon where his manipulation caused Puck to fall into a deep coma then she will not hate him.

I let out a bitter chuckle, this is why I don't want to talk about Roswaal to Emilia, the table completely opposes me, I don't have anything to use against Roswaal's image that is built inside her head, to her, Roswaal is almost like a saint, what can I do against that?

Unlike Rem who is still caged and blinded by her past and has a different and almost inhumane perspective, Emilia is not. Rem's loyalty to me surpasses Roswaal because I have a stronger position in her heart than him, in the very first place her loyalty is only to her sister and herself, never to others, and the fact that her sister is unwell and related to said clown, that is enough to make her completely on my side.

That damn clown set this stage very well... I don't know what I should tell Emilia about him and I also don't have any proof of his cruelty and wicked deed. Even if I told her that I know his true nature because I know it because of my "Dragon" ability I am sure she still won't budge about it.

No... making Emilia hate Roswaal is an impossible task right now, so what should I do to make her on my side?

(Y/N): "Excuse me"

Y/N said as he entered the room while clad in his casual outfit.

Emilia shoots a strange look at him.

Emilia: "Why are you saying that? I already gave you permission to enter."

(Y/N): "Just being polite and all."

Y/N answered with a shrug as he closed the door.

(Y/N): "I mean, when someone enters the lady's room, one should always be polite. That is just common sense after all."

Emilia: "No, no, you don't get to pull that line on me, I know what you mean by being polite!"

She shakes her head rapidly and gives him a small glare.

Emilia: "What I mean is why are you being so polite?!"

That makes Y/N blink.

(Y/N): "And why... me being polite seems to bother you?"

He asked in a bewildered voice.

Emilia: "Ummm...."

This time Emilia is the one that blinks.
