■Monica Ashton’s Perspective
“Um, Monica… there’s something I wanted to ask you about Sandra…”
Some time after the Delegation from the Barthian Holy Kingdom had departed, Prince Harold spoke to me with a serious expression.
Yes, normally he’s much more lighthearted, but this time it seems I can’t afford to joke around either.
“If it’s something I can answer.”
I place my hand on my chest and bow.
I don’t know how much help I can be, but for the sake of my beloved lord, I will answer to the best of my knowledge.
“Thank you. Actually…”
Prince Harold spoke haltingly.
About the series of events that occurred between the Young Lady and the Lady Saint after the match with Carla-sama.
…Yes. I can’t answer that, as expected.
If Prince Harold were to find out about this, a rift between the two of them would be inevitable.
“…So, if you know anything, Monica, I’d like you to tell me.”
“I’m sorry. Unfortunately, I don’t either…”
No, I actually do know.
What happened to the Young Lady was due to the runaway of that person’s unique power.
A blessing granted only to those specially chosen within the Chevalier family, who have been associated with the Dehauvalz Kingdom since its founding.
–The name of that power is, [Dragon’s Favor].
Those who possess [Dragon’s Favor] can gain absolute power by loving someone with a burning passion.
It began when the first head of the Chevalier family, “Sigurd of Chevalier,” was granted power by the legendary dragon Fafnir in his youth.
Lord Sigurd first activated [Dragon’s Favor] when he fell in love with Princess Rune, the younger sister of the first King, “Sawelin Wel Dehauvalz.”
This led to the defeat of the great power, the “Nordia Empire,” which had surged in from across the sea, and the Dehauvalz Kingdom was ranked as one of the great powers.
However… in the long history of three hundred years, only two other members of the Chevalier family have possessed the power of [Dragon’s Favor], aside from the first Lord Sigurd, and the Young Lady.
That’s why the Young Lady is the true (・・) head of the Chevalier family.
“I see… I thought you might know something, since you’re like a sister to her, Monica…”
“I am sorry that I could not be of assistance.”
It pains me, but it can’t be helped.
However… I must question the Young Lady about how this happened.
I offered my heartfelt apologies to Prince Harold, who looked dejected, and immediately headed to the Chevalier family’s Townhouse.
◇
“So, Young Lady, why did you do such a thing?”
“………………….”
I’ve been questioning her repeatedly for a while now, but the Young Lady awkwardly averts her gaze.
The Young Lady herself is probably aware that she did something she shouldn’t have.
“Haa… what would you have done if Prince Harold had become disillusioned with you?”
“Eh!? I-It couldn’t be helped! That person… the Saint, acted very rudely towards my (・・) Lord Hal!? How could I possibly suppress my anger!?”
“It troubles me that you become so enraged while brushing aside your own failures.”
“Auu…”
[Dragon’s Favor], which boasts tremendous power, still demands a price.
That is, it runs wild because you love the other person too much.
To the point where no one can stop it.
Seven years ago, when the [Dragon’s Favor] was activated and ran wild after she fell in love with Prince Harold at first sight, it was terrible.
The head of the family, our Lord, and Cedric-sama, as well as many others, were left battered and bruised before we were finally able to stop her.
She has been undergoing Special Training to control herself so that such a thing would not happen in front of her beloved Prince Harold, and she finally managed to get engaged, so it would be self-defeating to ruin it herself.
“It was a blessing that Prince Harold was nearby. However, he may have been slightly disillusioned by seeing you in that state.”
“N-No way…”
Well, judging from Prince Harold’s appearance, I didn’t see any signs of that, so I think it’s okay, but it’s good medicine for the Young Lady.
“In any case, please be careful not to run wild any further. Especially towards Prince Harold.”
Yes… the most terrifying aspect of the rampage caused by [Dragon’s Favor] is when it is directed at the person you love.
According to the documents passed down in the Chevalier family, Lord Sigurd was somehow able to maintain his reason until the very end with his strong mental strength, but the other person who had [Dragon’s Favor] activated was unable to resist, and confined the other person, offering twisted love until their heart was broken.
If that were to happen, the two of them would be unhappy.
“Anyway, make sure this never happens again.”
“Y-Yes…”
It may sound harsh, but it can’t be helped.
This Monica Ashton wishes for the happiness of Prince Harold and the Young Lady more than anyone else.
I bowed to the depressed Young Lady and returned to the Royal Palace.
