“I don’t care what you think. In any case, I will never stand alongside Wilfred.” (Harold)

“Huh!?” (Cardis)

Up until now, I… Harold, who had never once defied him, rejected Cardis for the first time with a firm tone. If it were the Harold from “Engage Hazard”, he would have stayed in the faction while working to bring down Wilfred, but unfortunately, I am not like that. I absolutely do not want to get involved with someone like Wilfred, nor do I wish to be recognized by Cardis. Of course, not by my mother, Margaret, either. So, there is not a single advantage for me to be in Cardis’s faction. Rather, it’s full of disadvantages.

Moreover…

“…” (Alexandra)

Even if my expression doesn’t change, for Xandra, who is now holding anger in her sapphire eyes for my sake, I won’t allow myself to be servile.

“I cannot accept such a thing! You are my blood relative with the same mother and the Third Prince! Are you betraying me for such a trivial reason!?” (Cardis)

“Then, let me ask you instead, no matter how much it was the King’s request, why did you include Wilfred in your faction? If you wish to gain an advantage in the succession dispute, this is a bad move. Above all, isn’t he the very prince that Her Majesty the Queen Margaret despises the most?” (Cardis)

Well, even without asking, it’s clear that you must have made some under-the-table deal with King Eibar. But that doesn’t mean that Margaret would approve of making Wilfred her right-hand man. That woman, who hates her lover Samantha more than anyone.

“Does Her Highness the Queen even know about this?” (Harold)

“I planned to explain it to Mother later.” (Cardis)

“Then there’s no point in talking. In any case, as long as Wilfred is in the faction, I have no intention of siding with you. No, that’s not correct. I can no longer cooperate with you, who accepted Wilfred even once.” (Harold)

“You insolent…!” (Cardis)

Having been utterly rejected by the ‘incompetent bratty prince’, Cardis’s pride must have been wounded beyond repair. He stood up forcefully, anger blazing like wildfire.

Well, I’ve said what I wanted to say. There’s no need to stay here any longer.

“I’m sorry for showing you this ugly sibling quarrel. Let’s go.” (Harold)

“Yes.” (Alexandra)

As I bowed deeply and extended my hand, Xandra gently placed her small hand in mine. When I timidly glanced at her… unlike just a moment ago, her usual soft expression directed at me had returned.

“Wait! Are you ignoring me!?” (Cardis)

Cardis seemed to be shouting something, but I didn’t care. We stood up, leaving behind Cardis, who was still shouting, and exited the room, but…

“Hey there.” (Raphael)

Uh, why is Raphael waiting right outside the room?

“Well…” (Harold)

“Ah. I heard from the maid that Harold was summoned by our older brother in quite a furious manner. So, I came to check on things.” (Raphael)

When I looked, the maid from earlier was standing behind Raphael. She was watching us with a worried expression, so maybe she had gone to get Raphael for our sake.

“So… what did Brother want?” (Raphael)

Raphael looked at me with his emerald eyes, inherited from his mother, the Second Queen. His expression was friendly, and someone who didn’t know him might easily open their heart to him. But I absolutely won’t be swayed. At that moment…

“…I see, so that’s how it is.” (Cardis)

A low voice that seemed to resonate from the depths of stomach came from behind. Of course, it was Cardis, who had followed me out of the room.

“Harold. So, you intend to betray me, your own brother, and join forces with Raphael? After all the favors I’ve done for you.” (Cardis)

“Ah… so that’s what this is about.” (Raphael)

With that one line, Raphael seemed to understand everything, and he looked back and forth between me and Cardis with interest, but he had a slightly mischievous look on his face.

Putting that aside, calling this ‘betrayal’ is rather unfair. In the first place, it was Cardis who ignored me and brought Wilfred into the faction on his own.

“Sigh… Let’s go, Xandra. I can’t deal with this any longer.” (Harold)

“Hehe, indeed.” (Harold)

As if to soothe my sighing heart, my fiancée gave me the most wonderful smile. Thanks to that, the HP I lost from Cardis’s psychological attack was fully restored.

“If that’s how you want it, then I have plans of my own! Don’t think this will end here!” (Cardis)

Don’t think this will end here? What on earth is he planning? In any case, my reputation can’t sink any lower, and I’m fully prepared to leave my position as the Third Prince and marry into the Chevalier Household, so it doesn’t really matter to me.

So, as we left Cardis behind and were on our way back to the room…

“Harold. Since we’re here, why not take Brother’s words literally and join forces with me?” (Raphael)

Raphael just officially invited me to join his faction.
