I run, run, and jump all over the place at the party.

I wandered around unconcerned, but the guards looked like they were having trouble moving because of the situation. That’s also true. It’s a magic academy social gathering. The participants are the children of the bigwigs. If you try to hurt them, you’ll be in trouble.

The other side may have the advantage in numbers, but I have the advantage on the ground.

“Alfred!”

My brother Leo roared, and the magic in the royal ring blew.

I guess it’s time to go. The venue had been stirred up just enough.

“I’ll leave you to it for now, Brother.”

Left hand. Activate the magic ball shooting circle ring.

A magical bullet of wind is fired, shattering the glass with a flourish.

“Well, I wish you all the best.”

I bowed for the last time and dove into the darkness of the night. ?

Yup, here we go.

The guards hurriedly chased after me, but by that time I had already jumped from roof to roof and returned to the palace alone.

I jumped from roof to roof and returned to the palace alone.

“Well, you’ve been on a rampage again today, haven’t you? Al-sama.”

When I landed in the garden under the cover of night.

Clap, clap, clap. I was greeted by a round of applause that didn’t seem to have the slightest respect for its master.

Standing out of the blackness of the night was a maid about my age.

If I had to describe her, I’d say she’s like a fickle cat that seems to scratch around everywhere. Or a little devilish girl.

On the way back to my private quarters in the royal palace, she also followed me, keeping close to my side.

“You went out of your way to look bad. It’s so cool. Hee hee hee.”

“Hey, Is that how you treat your master, Machina?

“What’s ? I was waiting back at the palace in advance in anticipation of Al-sama’s departure from the venue, you know?, Isn’t she a dutiful maid?”

“Shut up. You just wanted to slack off.”

“Oh, did you find out?”

It was the same as always, when she stuck out her tongue and said, “I’m sorry.”

When I returned to my room, I tossed in my clothes and went straight to my nightgown to put on my sleeves.

“Where’s Charlotte?”

“I’ve got a shadow keeping watch. I haven’t heard anything, so she seems to be okay.”

“That’s good.”

“What are you going to do now? Are you going to report directly to the king?”

“No. I’m going to bed. I’ll leave the report to you shadows.”

“Oh, no. The king will be very angry.”

“I went on a rampage at a party. I’m going to bed now if you’ re going to be mad at me anyway. I’m sleepy.”

“It’s been a long time. I’m so happy for you, Al-sama. I’m really happy for you.”

“What’s that?”

“Rescuing your first love in a cool way.”

“What !?”

I choked. I choked. Oh, no. I can’t stop coughing.

“Geez! Gho! …… Hey, you! I’m not sure, What time are you talking about?”

“I told myself that there was no way I could compete with Leol-sama, whom I respect and admire, as my fiancé, and above all, that I could trust him because he was Leol-sama, and just when I thought I had finally given up, this happened. Isn’t this a great comeback? You did it, Al-sama!

The maid, who is my right-hand man, winked at me with a brilliant smirk.

“So, what are you going to do? Do you want to plunder me?”

“No! I’m going to bed! I’m going to bed. You finish the report and get some rest! That’s it!

“Thank you very much. Good night, Al-sama. Have a good night’s sleep.

Lightly accepting the last word tapped and crammed into her mind, Makina bowed gracefully and left the room.

………… It’s not like that.”

In a dimly lit room. There was no one to pick up the murmur that spilled out of my mouth. ?

“At ……? I heard that the party was canceled after all. Is that what happened?”

“Oh, yes. That’s what I meant.

A few days later. I was summoned by the king’s father and had to give my own report.

My subordinate should have reported to him, but they said no questions asked.

But it’s odd. I had originally assumed that I would be called in the morning of the next day. …… Why did it take a few days? No, well. I got lucky or something because I didn’t want to get angry.

“I’m sure the school is complaining about your …… decision to cancel a traditional social party so early in the school year, and then smash the glassea of the school’s facility as a bonus.”

“I’ll be careful next time.”

” Your words are lighter than clouds.”

“What choice do we have? If I didn’t mess up that place, there’s no telling what would have happened to Charlotte. I’m sure you’ll be able to figure out a solution to this problem. It’s also a good way to make a scene.”

“I’ll give you credit for saving Charlotte’s life.”

Quiet praise. But his eyes were sharp.

“I don’t like the way you took …….”

“What?

“What’s with the ‘Abomination third prince’? Why do you mistreat yourself as you do every other time?”

“I’m an abomination anyway, and without that, I don’t even have a good reputation. I’d rather have you praise me for using my bad reputation as a great turnaround strategy.”

“I’d rather praise you for using your notoriety to your advantage.”

The king’s father seemed to be about to say something again, but this was not the time to argue. He knew that, and sat back down.

“…… No. I’ve learned a lot from this incident. I think you need a collar.”

“I’m not much of a fashionist, I’m afraid. I’ll pass.”

I can’t do that. It’s already been decided.”

…… I’ve got a bad feeling about this. It’s already been decided? No wonder it took you a few days to call me. So you’ve been preparing for something in the meantime.

Did you pull out a custom-made magic tool? I don’t care if it’s physical, but …….

“Rejoice. My son, Alfred. You’ve got a fiancée.”

“What about —-?”

By nature, marriage is an inevitable part of being born into royalty.

But I’ve never had a fiancé before. That’s true, too. Black hair, black eyes, proof that I’m a cursed child of royalty. An “abominable child” who cannot be blessed.

In fact, I thought that marriage was out of my league.

After all, there are five children of royal blood in the current Rayuere royal family, including myself.

I’m the third prince, after all. There’s no need to force me to get a fiancée. More importantly, there’s no way the Abominable Child will be welcomed.

“Oh, could it be the king’s running gag? It’s cold. Five points!”

“No way. Of course I am serious.”

“…… My father is a terrible person. I don’t know who she is, but he used his royal prerogative to make a the fiancée of this abomination. Salute the poor victim.”

“Don’t speak ill of me. I have properly approached the other party and received their approval. I’ve just been coordinating things for the past few days.”

“Who’s that? poor victim?”

“The king. I’ve brought Alfred’s fiancée with me.”

As if in response to my words, Makina appeared from the other room. That bastard.she had a hand in my father’s scheme, didn’t she? I can tell by the smirk on her face that he’s only looking at me.

“Mmm. Come on in.”

“Excuse me, …….”

A voice that sounded familiar. A familiar voice.

The person who entered the room was a girl with long golden hair.

“—-Charlotte……?”

The person who came in was unmistakable. It’s Charlotte Mersenne herself.

No, it is. Yes, it is, but it’s not. Oh, shit.

“Huh? I see you like it.”

“You’re the one who’s been lying about Charlotte being the perpetrator of the persecution of a schoolgirl named Lucille and rephrased it with a new lie: “Charlotte was a victim of the Third Prince’s deception.……Certainly, she would have been protected. But she wouldn’t be unharmed. Being forced to break off the engagement by the first prince .And it’s also truea that the First Prince’s heart goes out to a girl named Lucille.”

My father’s point was something that I was also concerned about.

That’s why I had my direct subordinate —-, “Shadow”, to find out what was going on, but for some reason, I didn’t receive any information about Charlotte. If I had to guess from this situation, I’d say that they’ve teamed up with my …… father to deliberately cut off information to me.

Charlotte will be difficult to deal with in the future. However, she is still a person that we would like to welcome into the royal family. If anything, it was our fault. ?It would make sense for the royal family to take responsibility.

It’s going to be difficult to deal with Charlotte from now on. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. It’s a good idea for the royal family to take responsibility.

IHow come that’s my fiancée?”

T”here are four reasons. One, you are the only one who has an open slot. Two, to fulfill Charlotte’s wishes. Three, because I’ve decided that Charlotte can be your collar.”

“A”collar? What does that mean? I’m getting more and more confused. …… is the place to go.”

Four.”

“Four ……, which is, well, ……, a rumor.”

“Rumors?”

Taking over her father’s words, Makina now interjected.

“To put it bluntly, Al-sama. There’s a rumor going around the school right now that Al-sama has made a plan to get his beloved Charlotte-sama away from the First Prince.”

?”Where’s …………?”

“That’s it. In other words, it’s plundering love.”
