“Why is Princess Lisette considered a ‘Villainess’ in the first place? I can’t believe she’s that kind of person, and more importantly… I can’t stand seeing a dear friend(・・・・・・) being subjected to such slander.”
“Hk!?”
Queen Paula gasped as I said that, directing a sharp gaze at her.
Haa… I mentally criticized the Queen’s rudeness earlier, but I’m being pretty rude myself. She’s the Queen of this country, and I’m just a Goodwill Ambassador from another nation, yet I’m giving her this kind of look.
But, unfortunately, I’m not mature enough to stand by and watch the heroine of “EnHaza,” whom I loved so much, face such an unreasonable situation.
Especially because I know she has a very kind heart.
“In any case, the investigation into last night’s incident has only just begun. As long as there is no evidence that Princess Lisette is the culprit, I think it was rather rash of Her Majesty to do what she did, even if she is her own mother. Rather, if you decide on the culprit in such a simplistic way, I… no, the Dehauvalz Kingdom will lose faith in the Capetien Kingdom.”
“Hk!? Y-yes… indeed, I was a bit too hasty…”
Those last words were the deciding factor, and Queen Paula, thinking that the relationship between the two countries would be damaged if things continued this way, withdrew her pursuit of Lisette and spoke vaguely.
Even if you dote on your son, you’re going a bit too far.
“Well then, I’ll take my leave now. Eline, let’s go.”
“Y-yes…”
Eline followed Queen Paula as she hurriedly left the scene.
But Eline kept looking back at us.
“U-um…”
“Well… Princess Lisette, that was a disaster.”
I sighed deeply and shrugged, offering a wry smile to Lisette, who called out to me hesitantly.
I was telling her implicitly that there was no need to worry about such trivial matters.
“More importantly, Princess Lisette, because of what happened last night, Lord Hal and I have had all our plans for today canceled. If you don’t mind, would you tell us more of those fun stories like yesterday?”
“Ah…”
Sandra took Lisette’s hand and smiled sweetly.
As expected of my favorite fiancée. She understands me well.
“W-well, it can’t be helped, I suppose…”
Lisette gripped Sandra’s hand tightly and lowered her head, her shoulders trembling.
I understand, Lisette… it’s wonderful to have someone who sees you.
“Sniff… W-well, let’s go quickly! I’ll prepare some special tea and sweets for you!”
Lisette raised her head with a flourish, a radiant smile on her face, and led us away.
The tears that spilled from her Amethyst Eyes sparkled like jewels in the sunlight.
◇
“Wow… that’s amazing!”
“Y-yes, isn’t it! Such a thing can only be done by me, even if you search the entire kingdom!”
We were in the Royal Palace garden, listening to Lisette’s one-woman show as if continuing from last night.
She had completely recovered her spirits and was telling us the story with great joy.
…Well, I know it all from “EnHaza,” though.
By the way, what Lisette is talking about now is her own abilities.
The truth is, she is the only heroine in “EnHaza” who possesses two attributes: Fire and Dark.
Raphael can also use skills from three attributes, including Light, but that’s all thanks to the passive skill [Fairy King’s Blessing].
But Lisette inherently possesses two attributes.
Therefore, she can use Fire and Dark Attribute skills without consuming skill slots, making her a cheat-like existence befitting a heroine.
Moreover.
“That magic called [Hellfire]… it’s incredible…”
Yes… Lisette’s unique skill [Hellfire], which combines the characteristics of both Fire and Dark Attributes, is worthy of being called the hellfire that burns everything to ashes.
Above all, once you are attacked by [Hellfire], you will suffer constant damage until the end of the battle, a black flame that is truly a curse.
“…You’re the only ones who say such things, Prince Harold and Alexandra.”
“Princess Lisette?”
Oh? Lisette has suddenly become meek?
She’s supposed to be an ultra-tsuntsuntsundere heroine who only shows a dignified and arrogant side.
“You both know it, don’t you? I’m called a ‘Villainess’ in this country, and no one has ever paid attention to me. Not my family, not any of the citizens. …Of course, it’s my own fault.”
Lisette spoke haltingly, as if confessing.
I know that side of her.
In “Engage Hazard,” Lisette tells you this just before the false accusation incident when her affection level rises.
Furthermore, Lisette forces the protagonist to make a choice here.
“Will you fall into hell with me, the Villainess?”
If the protagonist answers in a way that accepts those words, he can successfully prevent Jean’s coup d’état and enter a ‘Romance State’.
However, if he does not accept her, he will never enter a ‘Romance State’, and all his abilities will be reduced to 0.75x, a hidden landmine.
Well, “EnHaza” normally has a harem ending, so players would accept it without hesitation.
“…That’s why I became a Villainess. Because I wanted you to look at me… Lisette Josephine de Capetien. The result, as you saw, was that my own mother was about to make me the ringleader of last night’s incident.”
Lisette looked at us and laughed self-deprecatingly.
Her Amethyst Eyes were filled with sadness and loneliness.
“Prince Harold… you said it, didn’t you? That I am a dear friend(・・・・・・) to you.”
“Yes.”
Lisette looked at me with eyes that seemed to expect something, but also seemed resigned, and asked.
Of course, I nodded strongly.
And then.
“Then… then, ‘Will you fall into hell with me, the Villainess?'”
