“By the way… who in the world are you?”
Suddenly, Alexandra directed an absolutely frigid gaze towards Marion.
Come to think of it, I hadn’t introduced her.
“Ah, um, this is Marion…”
“Prince Harold. I am asking her.”
“Eh!? Y-yes!”
Her terrifyingly low voice, which I heard for the first time, made me stiffen and reply at attention.
“Haven’t you troubled Prince Harold because of you? Answer quickly.”
“…I am Marion Shearer, serving Prince Harold.”
“Hmph…”
Alexandra snorted, furrowed her brow, and approached Marion, who was curtsying.
Um, well… should I stop this? But, for what reason?
“Hey.”
“Yes.”
“Why were you giving Prince Harold such a look?”
“Eh…?”
“Didn’t you hear me? I’m asking why a maid like you was giving my fiancée, Prince Harold, a look as if you were despising him.”
…I understood why she was so openly angry.
She also noticed the look of contempt I always felt from Marion… no, because she noticed it.
“That is not the case…”
“Don’t lie to me. Then, what do you think of Prince Harold? Tell me.”
“………………….”
Marion fell silent at Alexandra’s interrogation.
Well, she can’t tell the truth.
“…Well, whatever. In any case, I can’t allow someone like you to be near Prince Harold. Leave this Royal Palace immediately.”
“Eh!? W-what…”
“Didn’t you hear me? I said you’re an eyesore.”
O-oh… I didn’t expect Alexandra to declare Marion’s expulsion. But, I’m the employer.
“A-Alexandra-sama may be His Highness’s fiancée, but she is not in a position to decide my fate…”
“I am Alexandra Chevalier, the eldest daughter of the Chevalier family, who supports the Dehauvalz Kingdom. It’s nothing for me to expel a single maid from the Royal Palace.”
“Ugh…”
In reality, the Chevalier family could do that easily. Or rather, if she said “Marion made a mistake,” the Royal Palace would anticipate her wishes and kick her out on their own.
“C-certainly, Prince Harold is Alexandra-sama’s fiancée, but why…”
“Hii!?”
Marion, terrified by the expression on Alexandra’s face, made a noise in her throat in the middle of her sentence.
Probably, Marion wanted to continue like this.
‘Why are you siding with Harold, the violent and selfish, “Incompetent Rascal Prince”?’
I also wonder about that myself.
A lady of the Duke Chevalier family like her should definitely know my reputation.
Even though King Aival decided on my political marriage with her, she not only visits the Royal Palace and accompanies my training, but even guides me to become stronger.
Considering her status, beauty, and ability that is no less than the heroines of EnHaza, it wouldn’t be strange for her to make fun of and look down on such a villainous, incompetent, and terrible Third Prince.
And yet, the her before my eyes is showing so much anger for my sake.
I really don’t understand.
“What do you even know about Prince Harold! Prince Harold completed the harsh training without complaint for the sake of his promise with me! Stop making shallow evaluations without even knowing his true self!”
“Ah… uh…”
Marion, at a loss for what to do, is only bewildered by the overwhelming force.
But, meeting Alexandra, who is the real thing… well, it’s weird to say that, but she’s the Alexandra who silently has her engagement canceled with Harold in the prologue of EnHaza, I’m constantly betrayed by her in various ways today… but…
“Ah…”
“Prince Harold, excuse me.”
Alexandra wiped my cheek with a handkerchief.
Ah… ahaha… it seems I was crying.
But, it can’t be helped.
The Harold inside me was recognized by someone for the first time.
Even my own mother didn’t acknowledge Harold’s efforts.
Ah… but, maybe it’s a little different.
The Harold inside me is also me, and I am also Harold.
Therefore.
“Ugh… uuu… uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…!”
It can’t be helped that I couldn’t hold back and cried out loud like this.
Me and Harold.
Harold and me.
The joy for two people overflowed uncontrollably.
