I have a very important request!
Please read until the afterword!
” ” ” ” “…………………………” ” ” ” “
Good evening, this is Harold.
The moment we entered the Celebration Party venue, we were immediately the center of attention from the participating nobles.
“Um, well… what’s going on here?”
“Most likely, it’s because Lord Hal and I are dressed differently from everyone else.”
“Ah, I see…”
Indeed, our attire is far removed from the common sense of this world.
I guess it can’t be helped that we’re receiving such strange looks.
“What others may think is of no concern. I, I mean… I think Lord Hal looks more wonderful in that attire than anyone else here… no, than anyone in the world.”
“Ahaha, thank you. Of course, Sandra, you too, are, um… incredibly beautiful, you know? So much so that not only are you the World’s Greatest Fiancée, but even a goddess would pale in comparison.”
“Fua!?”
Yes, yes, I’m very satisfied to hear my favorite fiancée’s cute voice.
However, since she’s wearing a bolder outfit than usual today, I have to protect her from the gazes of the men.
Then.
“Well, well, Harold. Your outfit today is splendid. Could you tell me which designer tailored it for you?”
Raphael approached us with a smile, a glass in hand.
“I had it made at Madam Selway’s tailor shop on the main street. However…”
“…Hee. That makes me even more interested.”
When I whispered to Raphael that I had encountered Margaret at the tailor shop, he gave a dark smile.
Since he holds a grudge against Margaret, he’ll surely head to the tailor shop immediately to find dirt to use against her.
Why do I think so? Margaret is a woman of high pride, and she wouldn’t bother going outside the Royal Palace herself, even for her own dress.
So, that woman must have had some other purpose.
“I wish I could have found some information that my brother would be happy about.”
“You do say things. But… I see, so you were the same (・・・・) as me.”
Raphael’s gaze changed from one of curiosity to something lukewarm.
It seems that in his mind, I’ve been reclassified as an ally (・・).
It’s true that I no longer have any lingering feelings for that woman, but I don’t particularly want to get revenge (・・・) as actively as Raphael does.
That said, if she were to harm Sandra, I would fight with all my might, even if she were my own mother.
“Well, it seems like today’s Celebration Party will be enjoyable for the first time in a while.”
With that, Raphael left the scene in a cheerful mood.
◇
“His Majesty the King, Her Majesty the First Queen, and Her Majesty the Second Queen, entering!”
The voice of the civil official in charge of today’s Celebration Party echoed throughout the venue.
Finally, the New Year Celebration is about to begin… but!?
“Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Ufufu…”
No way, are you serious?
Why is Samantha Allport, the King’s mistress and Wilfred’s mother, next to King Aival…?
“…What is His Majesty thinking?”
“Indeed…”
I agreed with Sandra’s murmur and nodded.
At least in my… Harold’s memory, Samantha had never participated in a royal event.
Of course. That woman, being just a mistress, has no right to be in such a place.
However, King Aival has Samantha attending him, setting aside the two Queens. There could be no greater humiliation for the Queens.
As proof, Margaret seems to have more prominent blue veins on her temples than usual, and the Second Queen, Rosemary, has a look of utter amazement.
No, more than that.
“………………….”
The person with the most grim expression in this place was Raphael.
For him, who is an overwhelmingly devoted mother-con of UR rank, his beloved mother has been humiliated to this extent. His resentment must be exceptional.
“Now… before we begin today’s Celebration Party, I have something to tell everyone.”
The venue, which had been buzzing due to Samantha’s appearance, became even more noisy with King Aival’s words.
I have a bad feeling about this.
“Ah, haha… no way…”
What flashed through my mind was that one line that King Aival, gone mad, had uttered in ‘EnHaza’.
‘The one who brings the World’s Greatest Fiancée shall be the next king.’
There are still one year and three months until the main story begins, and neither Wilfred nor I have even come of age yet, so I don’t want to believe that’s the case.
Driven by anxiety, I ended up gripping Sandra’s hand tightly.
“Lord Hal… it’s okay, it’s okay…”
As if knowing what was in my heart, Sandra gripped my hand back tightly.
That alone made my heart feel a little lighter.
And then.
“I hereby declare Samantha Allport as my Third Queen!”
