Stared by Yandere Onii-sama

“…I apologize for this, Your Highness Harold. I am Cedric, the one and only brother of Alexandra.” (Cedric)

Cedric smiled as he extended his right hand. However, his slitted eyes remained open, and contrary to his expression, his sapphire eyes clearly convey, ‘I absolutely do not accept this man as my sister’s fiancée’.

“I’m Harold…” (Harold)

I grasped Cedric’s right hand and shook it.

Ow, could you lessen your grip a bit? Oh, you don’t intend to do that, huh.

“So, Alexandra, I’m happy you called me because you wanted to see me, but is something wrong? Did your fiancé mistreat you or something?” (Cedric)

“Since we had not formally greeted you after our engagement, the kind Harold-sama was concerned. Also, Haru-sama cares for me very much.” (Alexandra)

“…I see. Alexandra, you call His Highness ‘Haru’, huh.” (Cedric)

Xandra was boasting, and although his face was supposed to be thin, the lines of his face seemed to deepen even more.

“So, is that true?” (Cedric)

“Ahaha. Well, today, knowing it was a bit much, I asked Xandra…” (Harold)

“…Xandra?” (Cedric)

“Eek!” (Harold)

I let out a light scream as I was met with a murderous gaze. It seemed that calling her by a nickname without any honorifics, as usual, had touched Cedric’s wrath.

“What is the meaning of this? Even if he is a prince, to call my beloved Xandra like that…” (Cedric)

“I have not permitted Onii-sama to call me ‘Xandra’ though.” (Alexandra)

“Huh?!” (Cedric)

Cedric, who had slyly used his reproach of me as an excuse to call Xandra by a nickname, was met with an absolute zero-degree glare from his beloved sister, causing him to involuntarily catch his breath.

“R-right, I’m sorry… But more importantly, it’s been a while since we’ve had a family-only gathering. How about just the two of us have dinner tonight…” (Cedric)

“Ah, actually, besides the greeting, I have a favor to ask.” (Harold)

Sorry, but ignoring me won’t work. Even if I have to be a bit pushy, I’ll get to the main point.

“Onii-sama, please listen to Haru-sama’s request.” (Harold)

“…Your Highness Harold, what is this request?” (Cedric)

Soothed by Xandra, Cedric reluctantly turned back to me and asked.

He’s completely a siscon yandere older brother who dotes on his sister. Well, anyway, I have to negotiate properly to achieve my goal.

“Ahem. You may already know this, but my brothers, Cardis and Raphael, are currently engaged in a factional dispute over the next king’s throne.” (Harold)

The moment I said that, Cedric’s gaze became as sharp as it could possibly be. Perhaps he feared that I would participate in the fight for the throne. He might be thinking that if that happens, Xandra could also be endangered. However…

“Until now, I have actively supported my older brother, First Prince Cardis, but to be honest, I do not want to be involved in such an ugly dispute.” (Harold)

“Oh…?” (Cedric)

Perhaps it was unexpected, but Cedric leaned his body slightly forward. It seemed he had taken some interest.

“As things stand, it is unavoidable that I will be caught up in that dispute. So, I thought about it. Before it comes to that, I should leave the royal palace.” (Harold)

Yes. I might as well abandon my position as the Third Prince and fade out from the fight for the throne. If I do that, I won’t have to get involved in the main story of ‘Enhaz’ and participate in the trivial matter of ‘The World’s Best Fiancée Search’. Of course, if it comes to following the scenario of ‘Enhaz’, I would wholeheartedly recommend Xandra as ‘the world’s best fiancée’.

“So, while it might not be immediate, I was wondering if I could eventually become a vassal and join the Chevalier family in a lowly position.” (Harold)

“So, you mean you want to come to our family as an adopted son-in-law?” (Cedric)

“Yes.” (Harold)

I nodded firmly in response to Cedric’s question.

Heh heh heh… Even if the world of ‘Engage Hazard’ tries to drag me into a bad end, I will definitely escape. I’ll do whatever it takes.

Cedric stroked his chin, pondering for a while.

“…Regardless of Your Highness Harold intentions, I’m not sure if you can truly step down from your position as Third Prince, and at the very least, I cannot make such an important decision on my own.” (Cedric)

“Of course, I understand that. Today, I just wanted to greet you, Cedric-dono, as my future brother-in-law and let you know that I have such intentions.” (Harold)

Naturally, even if I say I want to give up my position as a prince and become a son-in-law, it’s not going to be accepted just like that. Even if I am known as the ‘incompetent bratty prince’, proper procedures must be followed, otherwise, it would be meaningless. Well, for a prince with a bad reputation like mine, there will probably be many who will be overjoyed if I give up my right to the throne.

“…I understand your feelings, Your Highness Harold.” (Cedric)

“Cedric-dono. Thank you very much.” (Harold)

I placed my hands on my knees and bowed deeply…

“However…” (Cedric)

“Hmm?” (Harold)

Huh? There’s more?

“Even if you say such things, I cannot easily trust your words. Therefore, I would like to test your resolve, Your Highness. By crossing swords.” (Cedric)

Cedric opened his slitted eyes and smiled.
