Reincarnated in an Otome game as the ugly character in the background Interlude: Ideal

Interlude: Ideal

A dark room was the site of a eting.

A group of people were at a large round table talking.

One of them was wearing black armor and his feet were on top of the table.

"... So... Levin is dead?"

"So is Coleman, they sent his head, looks like they tortured him."

Said a masked man.

"Ha! I'm not surprised that pig deserved what he was destined for, but I'm surprised that knight was defeated."

Said a muscular, well-dressed, bearded man smoking an imported cigarette.

"We should prioritize the search for Ganne, that idiot must be in so brothel or casino."

"Ganne is dead."

Everyone turned to the person who said such barbarism.

It was an old man in armor.

"Ganne knows what his duties are, sothing like defecting while being one of the richest n in the country or being decorated as the next top dark knight are things only an idiot would throw away."

"If it's as you say, who killed him?"

"It was probably Arklight themselves, they just don't have anyone who reported it."

"If so, it puts us at a disadvantage."

The man in the mask with no holes said to the others.

The man with the cigarette poured himself so rum in a small glass and drank it to the bottom.

"You heard, Your Excellency, what do we do?"

Everyone's gazes focused on the man sitting on a throne made of bones.

His right hand was touching his cheek and his left hand was touching the armrest.

"It is useless to discuss it."

"If one or two of our knights die, there is no matter, even if one of you archdukes also dies, it doesn't matter."

The man with the cigarette clicked his mouth when he heard that the seated man didn't care if he died or not.

"All that matters is what I wish. I, the emperor of the Ideal Empire."

The emperor of the Ideal Empire raised his hand, his white skin and long black nails could be seen clenching his fist.

"To guarantee my wish. My ideal world, the sacrifices made don't matter."

This man was one of the final enemies of the ga, the one who wished to obtain an "ideal world" as indicated by the na of the empire.

The eting ended and the emperor remained seated, his bright red eyes filled with a glow of ambition beyond that of an ordinary human being.
