The Exiled First-born of the Noble House. Rising to the Top With the Worthless Skill [Null Poison]

audacity of blaming me, you damn hypocrite.”

“b-but, because of your letter——!”

“I don’t give a shit about what happened, and its none of my business.
If anything, shouldn’t you be hating Klaus for cutting all connection from you based on just one fucking letter? Am I wrong?”

When I said, Mielle completely shut up.

Everything must have been going her way in life if a single letter that put a couple twists in her life made her hate me so much but………..there’s a limit to how much unjustified hate I’ll allow.

If you’re gonna attack someone, do it with the resolve of getting hit back.
And if you can’t take then, just grow stronger till you can stop that from happening.

Outsmarted, and now overpowered, Mielle has no right to play the victim any longer.

………..well, I digress so, let’s go back to getting more info out of her.

It’s not like I have so much free time that I spend it all casually chatting with her.

“Looks like you finally get it.
So, is the princess in your party also on good terms with Klaus?”

“……….No they are not.
If she was, I wouldn’t have been allowed in her party in the first place.”

“I see.
So the princess and Klaus are not chummy.”

“Yes, far from it in fact.
Well, actually I don’t know what Klaus thinks of the princess but, that stupid princess and her shitty guard certainly don’t think too well of Klaus.”

Looks she hates the princess and her bodyguard as well.

Is everyone against each other, or do they all just hate Mielle specifically?

………Well judging by how she acts towards me, I’m going to assume the latter.

“Well, that’s good to hear at least.
I know that Edestor is safe for me for the time being.”

“So, you’ll let me go right?”

“No, I’m not done asking questions.
And depending on your sincerity, I’ll think about it.”

“Could you at least release my binds.
My head and nose are all so itchy it’s annoying.”

“Deal with it.
Now, I want to ask about Klaus’ ability.
And also tell me about his co-operators and party members.
Basically, tell me every little info you have on Klaus.”

And thus, I began to drag out every little info on Klaus from Mielle.

There was a lot more info that was vague than I would have liked but, as expected of someone who went to the same academy, and was close to him at least at one point, I also got a lot more info that I didn’t know about.

Especially in regards to his party members.
It seems the influence of the [Sword God] was immense as not just Klaus himself, but all the people around him were unimaginably strong as well.

Looks like I really will have to find the Fruit of Skill if I want to have any chance of killing him in a face-to-face fight.

Once again, I was reminded that I needed to further increase my efforts into exploring and investigating the great forest of Roza.
