“Prince Harold, well met.”
In the throne room, King Salomon-Lambert-Salomon de Capetien of the Capetien Kingdom, to whom I was paying homage, offered words of welcome. Or rather, his own name appears twice in his name.
In “EnHaza,” this king barely appears, with only one event CG showing him suffering from poison. Despite being a king, even his name doesn’t appear, making him a mob among mobs. How sad.
“It is an honor to meet the great His Majesty Salomon. Our Dehauvalz Kingdom hopes for a strong and friendly relationship with the Capetien Kingdom in the future.”
I recited the prepared speech and lowered my head further.
“Indeed. It has been twenty years since I became the king of this country. I am pleased that we have been able to build such a relationship without fighting each other during that time. You may tell His Majesty Aival that I am grateful.”
“Yes, sir! Thank you very much!”
King Salomon stood up and left the throne room with his attendants.
Phew… I’ve finished my most important task, the audience with the King… or so I thought.
“…………………”
Jean was glaring at King Salomon’s back with a glint in his eyes.
Whoa, if you make such eyes so openly, your ambition to usurp the throne will be revealed to others, you know?
…Well, I don’t care what happens.
“Prince Harold, thank you for your hard work. We will hold a banquet tonight to welcome you, so please relax in your room until then.”
The ambitious look from just now had disappeared, and Jean spoke with a friendly expression.
Yes, yes. I’m already tired, so I’ll take you up on your offer.
Then.
“I, I will guide you to your room! Be grateful!”
Lissette, with a bosom so full it was hard to believe she was only fourteen, declared imposingly.
But what she was saying wasn’t imposing at all. Rather, wanting to escort me so eagerly, she wasn’t being a Villainess at all. You Incompetent Villainess.
“Then, I’ll take you up on your offer. Sandra, is that alright with you?”
“Of course.”
It seemed Sandra had also grasped Lisette’s personality, and she nodded with a smile.
I was worried that she might be jealous, but I’m glad there doesn’t seem to be any particular problem.
“Then, let’s go! Please follow me!”
“Haa… Good grief.”
Jean shook his head at the enthusiastic Lisette, but she didn’t care and cheerfully led us out of the room… but.
“Fufu… If you get close to Lord Hal, then…”
Sandra stared at Lisette, who was walking ahead, and curled up the corner of her mouth into a grin.
Sorry, there might be a problem after all.
◇
“And so, I said to them! ‘Don’t you dare underestimate me!’ I said!”
“…………………”
Yes, this is Harold.
Sandra and I are now attending Lisette’s impromptu recital.
No, well… after being shown to my room, when I saw Lisette glancing at us with a lonely look, like a stray cat, I couldn’t help but invite her for tea.
And what do you know? Lisette put on a smile as radiant as a blooming flower, and then put on her Villainess face again, saying, ‘If you insist, I’ll keep you company.’
This isn’t a Villainess anymore, it’s just a Tsundere, isn’t it?
At least in the “EnHaza” I knew, she wasn’t this obvious, and she showed more of her Villainess side? How did this happen?
“…Princess Lisette. I apologize for being presumptuous, but even so, Your Highness is the First Princess. You should treat your servants kindly.”
“Hmph!? It’s none of your business! …But, but. If I feel like it, I wouldn’t mind doing that…”
Lisette turned her face away, pouting, after being admonished by Sandra, who had a dignified expression.
But… oh dear, the corners of her mouth are so loose.
Well, I understand how she feels.
Until I regained my memories from my previous life, I was the same, with no one paying attention to me, and no matter how hard I tried to fawn or act tough, no one would acknowledge my existence at all.
I think in Lisette’s main Scenario in “EnHaza,” the protagonist raises her affection by overlapping and explaining her situation, right? Her affection for Sandra is probably skyrocketing.
“Everyone. If we don’t start getting ready soon, we won’t make it to the banquet tonight.”
Monica, who had been silently watching us while taking care of Caz, said in a monotone voice.
Monica, well said. We can finally end this recital.
“That’s right. Princess Lisette, I look forward to seeing you at the banquet.”
“Eh!? E-ehm… yes. Since you are Goodwill Ambassadors, you should be by my side, who is Royalty. It can’t be helped, so I’ll teach you the manners of dining in the Capetien Kingdom.”
Lisette, who had been openly depressed, immediately perked up at my words and was trying to act like a Villainess again. She’s failing spectacularly, though.
I think I’ll just call her ‘Incompetent Villainess’ from now on.
“W-well, then, make sure you get ready properly!”
Lisette declared, pointing her index finger with a flourish! Then she left the room in high spirits, humming as if she was about to sing a song.
