Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! Chapter 40
Prince Once Again⑧ The king and Rachel-sama came when everyone arrived at the party.
The two of them appeared at the stage and spoke to everyone.
"Thank you for gathering tonight at this party sponsored by the Royal Family. There is something I want to tell everyone here."
Something you want to tell?
What is it?
Father nor brother didn't say anything.
"I would like to announce my son's, Leon's, fiancé."
…Huh?
Leon-sama's fiancée?!
King's statement left everyone surprised.
That's right, I've heard nothing about it.
While I was listening to this shocking statement, Allen-kun returned with drinks and fruits.
"Lillinsama, have you heard the words of His Majesty? I was slightly surprised."
Yeah, I was surprised too.
But following Allen-kun's words were a little astonishing.
"The fiancée's name surely won't be Lillinsama, right? If it turns out like that… I'll probably go on rampage."
Allen-kun's rampage?
Let's stop that, okay?
In the meantime, the king spoke again.
"Leon's fiancé is… A princess of eastern country, Princess Sumire."
When he said that, someone climbed up the stage.
That's right, she's Princess Sumire.
Princess Sumire had flowing black hair unique to the people of eastern country and seemed so fragile that even a weak gust of wind would topple her.
The first thing I thought, is it all right for her to receive queen education? That's right.
Because her skin is too white, and she looks younger than me.
Come to think of it, I don't see Leon-sama, what's going on?
There's a person missing who should be involved in this announcement.
Allen-kun, who realized I was looking around restlessly, softly taught me.
"I was just wondering about it while getting a drink… The mystery was promptly solved. Leon was caught by older brother and chivalric order, probably to not let him disturb the announcement. Truly older brother works fast."
Allen-kun is impressed by strange thing, but that's okay.
It would develop into an international problem if he disturbed the announcement of engagement with a princess from another country.
And Leon-sama would absolutely be noisy…
The venue is interested in Leon-sama's new fiancé.
I wonder when it was decided?
The day ended with sudden engagement announcement.
It left quite an impact. When I tried going home, I was finally able to meet with Ange-sama.
"Ange-sama, were you okay?"
"Lillinoneesama! I am sorry I wasn't at your side all this time!"
Ange-sama apologized with watery eyes.
Well, were you bullied?
Alright! Who was that! While I was thinking of making it rain blood with my sword, Ange-sama taught me.
"After leaving Lillinoneesama and Allen, I was with people from chivalric order all this time. I thought I would go back quickly. In the end, I had to talk with them since a little corps was born in chivalric order. They were quite persistent. Well, in the end somehow I managed."
What on earth happened?
I'm a bit scared to hear details, but it's fine if Ange-sama wasn't bullied.
Since we were able to meet with Ange-sama, we went back.
Sana greeted us when we returned.
"Welcome back. Lillinsama, were you okay?"
Sana asked anxiously.
I answered brightly.
"Yes, I'm back, Sana. I'm alright."
Sana smiled with relief.
Yes, yes, smile suits Sana well.
Brother came back when I tried to go back to my room.
"Oh, Lillina and others, are you back already? Today was surprising~~."
Apparently, brother didn't know either.
Then, Ange-sama gave us a shock.
"I was really surprised. Ricardo-sama was surrounded by young ladies. He sure is popular~ That Ricardo."
We solidified.
Mainly me and Sana.
Brother is unaware of the seriousness of this.
I nervously looked at Sana.
And regretted it.
Her face has no expression.
Where's the smile she had until a while ago~~
Moreover, for some reason brother is foolishly smiling.
This stupid brother.
Look! Look at Sana—-!
I'm not sure if my silent prayer was heard, but brother looked at Sana.
"Oh, Sana, I'm back. Look, it's a souvenir for Sana who stayed home alone. It's delicious."
Don't mind it~~
It's truly my brother.
Sana is silent.
"Yeah? What's wrong? I wish I had also brought Sana along after all~."
"… No, I am not a daughter of a n.o.ble, so I cannot go. Do not mind me, please have fun with those people you became friends with."
Oh~~, Sana lost her nerve.
Even brother can understand that.
"… Sana, are you perhaps jealous?"
Brother happily asked Sana.
Yup, how stupid.
Sana, trembling, clasped her fist and dove it into brother's solar plexus.
"Ricardo-sama, Ricardo-sama… Bakardo-sama is enough!"
Saying that, she ran away.
She left brother holding his solar plexus in agony.
In a pained voice he muttered "Ugh, Sana, you raised your arm again… After all, Sana sure is good…".
Yeah, wouldn't it be good if brother lost his memory as well?
