“Th-Then! Could you arrange a meeting between Harold’s friend, th-that… Lady Liliana!”
Yep. Raphael was aiming for Liliana, of all people.
That’s what I thought… but, on second thought, Liliana is the heroine of “Galhaza,” and Raphael was one of the capture targets.
So, it’s not strange for Raphael to fall in love with Liliana… is it?
But when did Liliana raise Raphael’s affection level?
“U-Um… could you tell me why Liliana…?”
“Ah, yes…”
Raphael, looking somewhat bashful, passionately told me about his feelings for Liliana.
◇
He started to become aware of her about a year ago.
It began when he picked up a handkerchief that Lady Liliana had dropped.
“You dropped your handkerchief.”
“Ah! Thank you very much!”
At that time, she seemed a bit scatterbrained and didn’t even realize that he was the Second Prince.
Until then, he had been in the murky underbelly of the Royal Palace, dealing with the Succession Dispute with Cardis and seeking revenge on Margaret, who had neglected his mother… For him, her innocence was refreshing.
After that, he saw Liliana getting along with Harold and acting together, and he felt a little jealous, but even so, whenever he had the chance to be alone with her, he actively tried to talk to her.
He must have fallen in love with her by this point.
But the biggest reason he became aware of Lady Liliana was when she lent him her umbrella in the rain.
That was around the time when Wilfred was gaining influence due to King’s favor, and some nobles from his faction had defected to Wilfred’s faction.
Since his ties with the influential nobles were strong, it wasn’t a fatal blow, but he was still impatient.
Leaving aside the position of the next king, he wouldn’t be able to take revenge on Margaret if things continued like this.
As if seeing through his frustration, Lady Liliana appeared and lent him her umbrella, who was getting wet in the rain.
“Prince Raphael, you’ll catch a cold if you stay like this.”
“…Shut up.”
“Why are you sulking? Come on, smile like you always do.”
Even though he treated her unusually harshly, she treated him the same as always and showed him her smile.
Before he knew it, his worries and impatience had vanished.
“Well then, I’ll take my leave.”
“Eh…? Lady Liliana, what about your umbrella…?”
“I can’t possibly have Prince Raphael escort me!”
Lady Liliana smiled brightly and ran out of the umbrella to the Dormitory, getting soaked.
She lent him her umbrella, not caring that she would get drenched.
His eyes followed her back the entire time.
“…Th-That’s why I want her as my fiancée no matter what. No, I can confidently say that she is the ‘World’s Greatest Fiancée’.”
“…………………”
What on earth am I being told?
I can easily imagine that each of the episodes Raphael told me is a favorability event for a capture target in “Galhaza,” but even so, listening to my half-brother’s love story is honestly making me feel sick.
Besides, it’s Liliana, you know?
I can’t imagine her, who loves Meat more than anything, being lovey-dovey with someone.
“Harold! Please! If Lady Liliana becomes my fiancée, I don’t need the throne! N-No, if she wants me to become king, that’s another matter… but anyway, give me that chance!”
“H-Haah…”
Honestly, I think she’d warm up to you immediately if you gave her a mountain of Meat?
Of course, make the engagement ring out of Meat too.
“S-Sandra…”
“………………….”
“Eh!?”
Incredibly, Sandra avoided my gaze even though I called out to her!?
Does that mean Raphael’s wish is that difficult!?
“Please! You’re the only one I can rely on!”
“U-Uguu…”
The hands gripping my shoulders are getting stronger. It hurts, it really hurts.
“I-I’ll think about it…”
“P-Please! I’m counting on you! Absolutely!”
Overwhelmed by the pain and his intensity, I averted my gaze and answered.
Haa… I should have seriously played “Galhaza”…
And Monica, you don’t have to laugh so much just because it’s not your problem. Remember this.
