Unable To Accept Values of Rival Character

“Hey, Harold. Congratulations on your engagement.” (Raphael)

As soon as he entered the dining hall, a boy with golden hair and gray eyes like Cardis sat down comfortably in front of me, exuding a friendly smile.

It was the second prince, Raphael Weir Dehaubalz.

Well… Raphael’s here too, not just Cardis. By the way, Raphael is the most cunning among the male characters in “Enhaz”, always thinking about overthrowing Cardis. Apparently, he’s a mama’s boy who loves his mother, the Second Queen Rosemary, more than anything in the world. He resents Margaret, the First Queen, for looking down on Rosemary, and he’s retaliating against Cardis for that reason. This doesn’t apply to me, who is also Margaret’s son…

Well, because Harold is the “incompetent bratty prince”, who cannot be treated as “the spare son of his older brother” and “the incompetent younger brother” by his real mother and brother, he’s already rated as the worst without doing anything. It’s painful. Still, if I behave quietly, I can avoid Raphael noticing me, so I behave like air.

So, in fact, Raphael himself isn’t interested in the succession battle at “Enhaz” and just wants Cardis not to become the next king. However, if that happens, the only ones left are Harold or Wilfred, and if I become the king, the kingdom will surely be destroyed. Therefore, in “Enhaz”, Raphael secretly supports Wilfred from the middle of the main scenario. Well, it’s a strong harassment to Margaret, who hates Wilfred the most.

For this reason, Raphael never appears as an enemy in “Enhaz”, and there are no battle scenes… but he does have set ability values ​​and his data is published on the official website.

As expected, as a royal family, in addition to the skill “Dehaubalz Crest,” Raphael also had a unique skill called “Blessing of the Three Spirits” that allows him to use magic skills of three attributes. What a cheat. Well, Raphael, who has high-spec abilities worthy of the royal family, is also an undisputed hero, including Cardis, so a girls’ side aimed at women is also produced. It didn’t sell well though.

“…Raphael. Did you come here just to congratulate Harold?” (Cardis)

“Is there anything else, Brother?” (Raphael)

Raphael replied with a carefree tone to Cardis’s glaring look. But when Raphael, who didn’t think of Cardis as an older brother more than anyone else, it made me feel uncomfortable and I want to run away from here immediately.

“Is your fiancée really from the House of Duke Chevalier?” (Raphael)

“Yes…” (Harold)

“Wow, that’s impressive. I wish I could get my fiancée chosen soon too.” (Raphael)

I see, Raphael came to complain. Indeed, bypassing the second prince and giving the daughter of the most prominent noble family to Harold, the ‘incompetent bratty prince’, must not sit well with Raphael. After all, I’m also the son of the hated Margaret.

“Hmph… I’ve heard. You proposed to Duke Chevalier through His Majesty and Queen Rosemary, but you were politely refused, weren’t you?” (Cardis)

“Ahaha, that’s right. I should have been more proactive back then.” (Raphael)

In response to Cardis’s maximum sarcasm, Raphael laughed bitterly and shook his head.

But if what was said is true, it means Duke Chevalier rejected a request from King Eibar… So why did he accept the engagement with me, who has such a bad reputation? It’s such a mystery.

“But, Brother, if possible, you would want the daughter of the Chevalier Household as your fiancée too, right? Even if it means breaking off your engagement with Lady Frederica, right?” (Raphael)

“Well, yes… though it’s too late now.” (Cardis)

Ah… for the two of them, who are competing for the throne, a fiancée is also an important tool. Whether or not they can become the king depends on it, so if a better fiancée appears, they might abandon their current one and switch sides.

“Hm?” (Cardis)

“Harold?” (Raphael)

“I’m sorry. I’m not feeling well, so I’ll take my leave.” (Harold)

I stood up and said that, then quickly left the dining hall.

I don’t want to breathe the same air as these scumbags any longer. But…

“In ‘Enhaz,’ Harold did the same thing.”

I hit the wall in the hallway with my fist and muttered to myself.

Just because he wanted to curry favor with Cardis.

Just to show he was a useful younger brother.

Just to be seen by his mother, Margaret.

And… he hurt a wonderful woman named Alexandra of the Chevalier Household. Truly, the princes of Dehaubalz, including Harold, are all rotten. That’s why…

“I… I absolutely won’t do such a thing…!” (Harold)

I’ve decided to fight. This is not just about avoiding a bad ending and surviving. It’s to keep Alexandra’s face, the one I love the most, from clouding over like in that still from ‘Enhaz’. To see all the different expressions of her true self that were never depicted in the game. For her, who I first encountered at that training ground—stronger, nobler, and kinder than anyone else.

With anger towards my two brothers and determination to be with Alexandra, I returned to my room.

“Hmm…” (Harold)

…And there was Marion of all people, waiting at the door in a kneeling position.
