Chapter 8 The Prince’s Regret
On the Astalite Castel’s upper floor in the capital city of Slenvale
「Alvin-samaa, Luna was lonely because you couldn’t come to see me.」
A sweet voice that’s like sugar water just before saturation reverberates in the interior of a luxurious yet elegant room.
A light pink hair like a flower and a white skin as if transparent. An adorable face like a small animal with big eyes. A luxurious dress that’s suitable for a Duke’s daughter.
The girl who called herself Luna, with teary eyes, joined her hands together in front of herself. It’s as if praying to God.
「Oh, sorry. I was busy with my work.」
The one talking to her is a handsome man like in a fairy tale.
Shining golden hair and blue eyes like a spring sky. In fact, he was the prince of this country. In addition to that, it was decided that he would someday succeed the throne. He’s the Crown Prince.
He, who was good-looking, had high morals, and had a great noble, Duke Lumiere as an ally, it already said that he was invincible.
「Jeez, Alvin-sama is always saying that. Luna is sad.」
「I’m really sorry. Next time when I have the time, how about we have a picnic together?」
「You promise!? Luna is looking forward to it.」
The girl whose face was visibly softened, she went out of the prince’s office with a wide smile.
Alvin, who had an iron wall smile on his face, fell down to the office desk when he heard the closing sound of the door.
「Haa… Is that incompetent is my fiancée? No way.」
Together with the elegance a short while ago that went away, Alvin laments his situation with a low-pitched sound that feels as if it echoes from the bottom of hell.
「Forgive my rudeness, but isn’t Your Highness the one that chose your own fiancée? You even move aside her sister that was decided to be your fiancée.」
To the attendant’s flat voice, the prince raised his face while his hair disordered as it is. On that face, a ruggedness like a carnivore and a bit of awkwardness blended, making a miraculous balance.
「Are you blaming me?」
「Of what? I only stated the truth.」
The young servant with glasses was the only one whom the prince could trust. That’s why he was able to precisely point out what Alvin was angry with and what he was guilty of.
「I mean, I can’t help it. I never thought that a duke’s daughter becoming a dragon’s bride because the engagement was canceled.」
Alvin’s voice that seems to be peevish, it’s as if that of a young child. If anyone who knows him sees this spectacle, they will be surprised for certain.
Yes. Alvin always wearing a mask of an excellent prince to gain the position of the Crown Prince. Everything is to win against the second prince Stephan, his half-brother.
Despite being King’s first child and older than Stephan, Alvin had a reason for being anxious.
That is the difference between their mother’s origin.
Stephan’s mother is the king’s first princess also the daughter of Duke Gransfil, who is equal to Duke Lumiere. Alvin’s mother, on the other hand, was from an Earl whose social status was lower than Gransfil.
No matter how much Alvin controls his actions and behaves like a Crown Prince, the voice of Stephan as the next king will not disappear from the castle. That’s why he had to marry someone from a house equal to or better than the Gransfil family to succeed to the throne.
Alvin chose Eriana, one of the few candidates that seemed to be most suitable as a queen, and then pushed her out from that position because of Duke Lumiere’s request.
But here, Alvin was beginning to regret his decision.
It’s not because of his fiancée, Eriana became a dragon bride and will never come back alive. It’s because the younger daughter, whom Duke Lumiere was presented with proud, was an unbridled girl who couldn’t discern her own status.
(In the first place, I chose Eriana as a fiancée because she was from a high family and had a humble personality. However, I never thought that Eriana’s sister was such an unbridled and selfish daughter to that degree.)
In the preliminary investigation, he was prepared to some extent.
Despite being told by his close servant that he should give up on that girl, Alvin wanted to sell a favor to his future wife’s family so he can control them easily. That’s why he accepted Luna as a fiancée while acknowledging the risk.
However, this Luna was a selfish girl that even her adorable figure alone couldn’t cover her selfishness. She often visits the busy Alvin and asks him to spare some time for her just like a while ago.
And not only that, she was making trouble with other nobles at evening party here and there, and increasing the number of Duke Lumiere’s enemy.
Alvin’s expectation that the sisters would not differ that much was betrayed in the worst direction.
「It would be better keep the greedless and obedient Eriana as a fiancée huh…. But, nothing can be done. That woman has died. There’s no turning back!」
Alvin’s cornered voice echoes in the large office room.
The wise servant did not say anything and silently stared at his master’s face. He thought that the time now is necessary for the Prince to recover from the mental blow from his fiancée.
