“My, my! So, Prince Harold has the legendary Calamity Beast Caspary under his command!”
“I, I suppose that’s how it is…”
Yes, this is Harold.
I am currently being bombarded with questions by Madam Norma. For two hours now.
By the way, Monica brought up the topic of the Demon Beast Henwen subjugation, so I’m in the middle of explaining what happened then.
Thanks to that, Caz is looking incredibly smug on my lap.
On the other hand.
“………………….”
Duke Chevalier and Cedric, who probably find my story boring, have been spacing out the whole time. My condolences.
“But to think that you not only subjugated the Demon Beast Henwen but were also involved in resolving the ‘Saint Abduction Incident’… rumors really can’t be trusted,” she said.
“Ah, haha…”
No, no, the rumors of the ‘Incompetent Rascal Prince’ aren’t wrong either, you know?
Although, that was before I regained my memories from my previous life.
“That’s right, Mother. Lord Hal is such a wonderful person, yet the eyes of those around him are so clouded… It’s truly infuriating.”
“………………….”
Sandra is clenching her fists and furrowing her brow as she passionately argues her point.
In stark contrast, Duke Chevalier and Cedric are averting their eyes, looking awkward. Well, I don’t think they’re particularly at fault.
“Furthermore, that scum… Wilfred, in the recent ‘Saint Abduction Incident,’ stole Lord Hal’s credit, and thanks to the King’s instructions to publicize it, he’s being treated like a hero. I absolutely cannot forgive it.”
Sandra’s gestures of swinging her fists are so cute that I’ve been on the verge of swooning this whole time.
“Alexandra. There are always people who see things as they truly are. And more than anything, as his fiancée, you must watch over him closely. That alone is like giving Prince Harold a million allies.”
“Mother… yes.”
I thought she had a gentle demeanor, but she also has a strong core. She’s truly a role model for mothers… I mean.
“…Norma is my wife.”
No, no, no. Why are you muttering that while looking at me with such blatant jealousy?
I’m completely devoted to my beloved fiancée, you know?
But.
“Ehehe.”
Yeah… the Chevalier family, despite being the kingdom’s most prominent nobles, are all so close and such a wonderful family.
Surrounded by such a warm atmosphere, I couldn’t help but smile.
In the Royal Palace, I was nothing more than Cardis’s spare, no matter how much I fawned over them, they wouldn’t even acknowledge me, and I was just branded as incompetent.
My father, King Aival, goes without saying, and even my mother, Margaret, never paid me any attention. In the end, I had no choice but to become the worst kind of ‘Incompetent Rascal Prince’… something I could never obtain… or so I thought.
“Ah… M, Madam Norma…?”
“Fufufu… Prince Harold, you’ve really worked hard until now, haven’t you? Working hard, working hard, working hard, even without the warmth of a family, you still believed that one day they would turn to you.”
Suddenly, I was embraced tightly, and I was at a loss for what to do.
Madam Norma whispered gently in my ear.
“Prince Harold. You are the man who will become the husband of my beloved daughter, Alexandra. That means you are also my beloved son, okay? So, from now on, please rely on me as much as you want. As a mother, I will always be watching you as you do your best.”
I, is that really okay…?
I mean, I’ve never even been treated kindly by my own mother, so for me to rely on Sandra’s mother…
“Here!”
“Wapu!?”
I was hugged even tighter, and my face ended up buried in Madam Norma’s chest.
It was soft, warm, smelled nice, and I didn’t want to let go. I wanted to stay like this forever.
“My cute, cute son. Your mother will always be watching you.”
“Yes… yes…”
Before I knew it, I was hugging Madam Norma back.
Filling the warmth I had never received from my own mother… filling not only the loneliness of these fourteen years but also the loneliness from my previous life, with all my feelings.
I’m so glad that I… that Harold, am Sandra’s fiancée.
I’m so glad that I am Harold.
