Protagonist’s Personal Assistant Foolishly Challenged Favorite Fiancée

“Oh my, good morning, Your Highness Harold.” (Marion)

Marion appeared, looking unusually cheerful as she gracefully performed a curtsey. Instead of her usual maid uniform, she was dressed in a gown befitting a noble lady.

Right, she’s a countess’s daughter too. I’d almost forgotten.

“Ah, good morning.” (Harold)

Feeling a bit of a troublesome premonition, I lightly returned the greeting and tried to quickly leave.

“With His Highness Wilfred officially becoming His Highness Cadis’s right-hand man, my Shearer Household will also be honored.” (Marion)

Without being asked, Marion started speaking on her own. It seemed she wanted to brag to me.

“Good for you.” (Harold)

“Your Highness Harold.” (Marion)

With a beaming smile, Marion stood in my way.

Even though I plan to give up my position as the third prince in the future, I am still a royal. Blocking my path like this is quite disrespectful.

“I truly appreciate you recommending me as a personal maid to that person. Thanks to you, I am now this happy.” (Marion)

I see. It seems I have indeed fulfilled Marion’s long-standing wish. So, it is not strange for her to be expressing her gratitude… but, no, it is strange.

“Moreover, with Your Highness Harold leaving His Highness Cadis’s faction, my beloved His Highness Wilfred was able to become his right-hand man. Everything is thanks to you.” (Marion)

With a smirk, Marion spoke as if she was victorious.

It seems the protagonist and heroine have indeed entered a ‘romantic state’. If you are always by someone’s side, it is only natural that this would happen.

In ‘Engage Hazard’, when a heroine enters a ‘romantic state’, all ability values are adjusted, and the usual parameters increase by 1.2 times. Therefore, to progress the game advantageously, it is necessary to properly pursue the heroine.

However, when pursuing a heroine, it is not just about progressing the scenario. Interactions in a chat format are crucial. The tricky part is that there are no predetermined choices in this chat format. You must infer from the heroine’s behavior and personality and come up with the most suitable response each time. It seems the protagonist, Wilfred, has accomplished that.

“That’s good. Then, you should be grateful for that for the rest of your life and atone for both your past actions and the disrespect you have just shown to Haru-sama.” (Alexandra)

As expected, my fiancée was not the type to stay silent. With a gaze of absolute zero and a voice so cold it might freeze anyone who hears it, she declared.

“Did I, of all people, commit an act of disrespect towards Her Highness Harold? No way.” (Marion)

Marion shrugged her shoulders and spoke dramatically, saying she had not done such a thing. I wondered which mouth she was using to say that.

Well, whatever. I don’t have time to entertain such a woman. I am busy.

“Xandra, let’s go. We need to finish the morning training quickly.” (Harold)

“Ah… hehe, that’s right. I don’t have time to worry about a woman satisfied with serving such scum.” (Alexandra)

I gently pulled her small hand, and Xandra smiled slightly. Of course, she didn’t forget to diss Wilfred and Marion.

“Well then, have a good day.” (Alexandra)

Without even a bow, Xandra said that and slightly moved closer to me as we headed toward the training ground… or so I thought.

“By the way… I hear Alexandra-sama is instructing His Highness Harold in martial arts.” (Marion)

“So what?” (Alexandra)

“In that case, you must be quite skilled. As I am also a knight, if you don’t mind, I would like to challenge you to a duel.” (Marion)

Marion, with a pleasant expression, made that announcement.

Ah, I see. She must have thought she could defeat her even though Marion is of lower status. Marion is older and has a better physique, and her abilities have been boosted by being in a ‘romantic state’. Having achieved her long-held wish of revitalizing the Shearer Household, she is probably overflowing with relief and confidence.

“Oh? Aren’t you supposed to be taking care of that scum?” (Alexandra)

“Yes. I have been given permission by His Highness Wilfred, who will eventually become the next king, to ‘do as I please’.” (Marion)

I see. So, Marion is being manipulated by that guy. But to target Xandra instead of me, isn’t that just foolish? Probably foolish.

“…I will not allow someone like you to make my precious fiancée fight.” (Harold)

I spoke in a voice so low that even I was surprised. Naturally. Since this person, and Wilfred, tried to harm a woman more important to me than myself…

“Xandra?” (Harold)

“Haru-sama… I am now overflowing with happiness.” (Alexandra)

Xandra suddenly hugged me, and I was so surprised that my voice wavered.

What is she doing? Of course, I’m happy, but…

“Please rest assured. As you know, Haru-sama, there is no way I would fall behind such a woman. Rather, let me teach this foolish woman what reality is.” (Alexandra)

“!?” (Marion)

After nuzzling me briefly, Xandra turned to Marion and gave a crescent-like smirk.
