“Then… then, ‘Will you fall into hell with me, the villainess?'”
As expected, Lisette uttered those words.
However, my answer was decided from the start.
“No way. I absolutely refuse to fall into hell with you, Princess Lisette.”
“Eh!? …I see, that’s right. Who would willingly go to hell with a villainess like me…”
“That’s right. Besides, you’re not a villainess at all, Princess Lisette, and there’s no one here who wants to go to hell or wants you to go to hell.”
Interrupting her words as she looked down, I said so in a cheerful voice.
“…Prince Harold. Were you even listening to what I was saying?”
“Of course. Did you know? A villainess wouldn’t worry about such things like you do, Princess Lisette. Because she is a villainess.”
“B-but! I am a villainess! I act selfishly and treat the servants horribly if I don’t like them… everyone in this country acknowledges that!”
Lisette shouted with an angry expression.
Completely denying my words, refusing to acknowledge them. But… her Amethyst Eyes were wet with tears.
“We are people of the Dehauvalz Kingdom. Whatever evaluation the people of the Capetien Kingdom give you is none of our concern. I believe in my own evaluation and that of my fiancée.”
“As Lord Hal said, I don’t think Princess Lisette is a villainess either. …No, a princess who cares for us and treats us kindly could never be a villainess.”
“Ah… Aaaaaah…”
My words and Sandra’s were the deciding factor, and Lisette finally broke down in tears.
That’s right… In “EnHaza,” she was the one who sought to fall together, but I won’t accept that as Lisette’s ending.
What we should aim for isn’t darkness, but light.
If that’s the path we’re taking, Sandra and I will reach out to Lisette and walk together.
“But… but! No one looks at me! I’m nothing but a villainess!”
“Sandra and I are watching you properly. You’re only acting like a villainess because you want us to look at you, right?”
Even if Lisette says something that belittles herself, I’ll deny it all.
The only words I’ll accept are those that affirm herself.
“So, please give up and accept it. You are not a villainess, and you are our Precious Thing.”
“Aaaah… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”
Lisette looked up at the clear sky and cried out.
But I believe that it’s not due to sadness or suffering.
It has to be that way, right?
Because her Amethyst Eyes are shining so clearly.
◇
“Come now! Please have some of this as well!”
After crying for a while, Lisette finally regained her composure and is now urging us to eat sweets with a beaming smile.
Moreover.
“Um, well… there’s no need to stand between Sandra and me…”
“What are you saying! You and I are Precious friends! If I don’t do this, one of you will be treated unfairly!”
“H-haah…”
In other words, Lisette seems to think that her current position is the best solution to treat Sandra and me equally.
No, no, how did it come to this?
“…Then, wouldn’t it be better for Princess Lisette to sit in front of us…”
“Absolutely not! If I did that, I would be the only one at a distance!”
No, no, no, it’s not that far.
Rather, not only has the physical distance between her and Sandra increased, but Sandra has been in a very bad mood because Lisette is stuck in between. I want her to notice that.
“But, I’m envious… Prince Harold and Alexandra are fiancées. You’ll be together forever…”
“Fufu, that’s right. Lord Hal and I will be together forever.”
When Lisette muttered that sadly, Sandra, who had completely recovered her mood, puffed out her small chest. Yes, yes, my fiancée is just as easy to please.
“However, in about a year, we will enter the Royal Academy of the Dehauvalz Kingdom. Princess Lisette, why don’t you study abroad here?”
In the first place, in “EnHaza,” Lisette is supposed to come to the Royal Academy as an international student, but since the Saint Abduction Incident and the false accusation incident have occurred before the main story, the possibility of irregularities cannot be denied.
In that sense, I tried to set a flag so that she would definitely study abroad.
“T-that’s a good idea! If we enter the Royal Academy together, we’ll be together forever!”
Good, good, she’s completely into it.
After that, under the pretext of the Dehauvalz Kingdom and the Capetien Kingdom establishing friendly relations, I’ll persuade King Salomon during this stay…
“Prince Harold.”
Before I knew it, Monica was behind me.
I wish she would stop sneaking up on me without a sound; it’s bad for my heart.
“What’s wrong?”
“…His Majesty Salomon would like to meet with Lord Harold.”
“Eeeh…”
I had a bad feeling about this, and I couldn’t help but let out a strange sound.
