The Incompetent Bratty Prince is out (2/4 chapters)

 

 

On top of Saintess, the Mastermind is Here

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

In ‘Engage Hazard’, the Saintess Christia was quite a unique heroine.

She was one of the most skilled characters among all the heroines, possessing high-level healing skills. From the release of ‘Enhaz’ until its service ended 6 months later, she was featured in no less than 4 limited-time events, showing the developers’ considerable efforts to promote her.

Honestly, she was heavily favored, and I even sent several complaint emails demanding they allocate more resources to Xandra, who only had one still image. But well, given that she was practically the face of Enhaz, it was inevitable to some extent.

“Carla, did you not hear me? Even though they are princes of the Dehaubalz Kingdom, disrespect is unacceptable.” (Christia)

“…I apologize.” (Carla)

Chastised by Christia, Carla apologized with a look like she had just swallowed something bitter.

Ah. From Carla’s perspective, this is probably something she couldn’t truly accept from the bottom of her heart. Most likely, she has been instructed by Christia to be disrespectful toward Wilfred and me. This is because Christia’s character is designed to be a schemer and cunning. She often tests the protagonist or even plots conspiracies that sometimes develop into major incidents. All of this is because, within the Baltian Holy Kingdom… no, within the San Baltia Cathedral, where the tactics of power and deception swirl, such maneuvers are absolutely necessary for her survival.

As for her main storyline, due to an incident caused in the royal capital by a high-ranking official of the Holy Kingdom, Christia finds herself in a predicament and is saved by the protagonist, which then develops into a ‘romantic relationship’. So, there must be a reason behind her provoking us like this. The possibilities include wanting to determine what kind of people we are, whether we are as rumored, or maybe she wants to see our reaction to use it to her advantage in negotiations for the Holy Kingdom.

In any case, as someone who doesn’t want to get involved with any heroines, I don’t intend to do more than fulfill my role as a host. In fact, I want to actively keep my distance. Besides, why is Christia part of the delegation in the first place? Because of her, Carla, her attendant, is here too. What an absolute nuisance.

“Saintess-sama, please allow me to assist you.” (Wilfred)

“Hehe, thank you.” (Christia)

“No, it’s nothing…” (Wilfred)

After accepting Carla’s apology, Wilfred took Christia’s hand and helped her down from the carriage. Since both of them were quite attractive, they looked great together, but Marion’s jealous glare was intense. These situations were where the protagonist really shines. He was unintentionally starting to build a harem and setting up a tense love triangle.

“By the way, um… where is His Holiness the Pope?” (Harold)

“I sincerely apologize. His Holiness fell ill just before departure, so in his place, I and His Eminence Cardinal Salvatori have come.” (Christia)

“Lorenzo Salvatori. Please make my acquaintance.” (Lorenzo)

In response to my inquiry, Lorenzo, the Cardinal, finally appeared from the carriage. To sum it up in one word, he was a silver-haired handsome man. However, more than that, I was mentally holding my head in my hands.

Actually, this Lorenzo is the mastermind in Christia’s main storyline in Enhaz, plotting to get rid of her in order to bring the Holy Kingdom under his control. I mean, I have a feeling an incident is about to break out even before the main story begins. What should I do?

“Now then, allow me to escort everyone to His Majesty the King’s presence.” (Harold)

“Yes, thank you.” (Lorenzo)

Wilfred escorted Christia, and I followed along with Lorenzo. Cardis was further behind me, sticking to his role as Wilfred’s support this time.

And so…

“You have come a long way.” (Eibar)

“Thank you for your kind words. We are delighted by this audience and hope it will strengthen the unwavering, solid relationship and promote further development between the Dehaubalz Kingdom and the Baltian Holy Kingdom.” (Lorenzo)

Bowing before King Eibar, Lorenzo delivered his formal greetings. Behind him, Wilfred, Christia, and I stood by, but…

“Hehe.” (Christia)

Why is Christia staring at me? Please, just leave me alone.

“Well then, enjoy your stay and take your time.” (Eibar)

“Thank you for your hospitality.” (Lorenzo)

The audience with King Eibar concluded without incident. Once the delegation was guided to their rooms for the night, we had free time until the evening party. However, that didn’t mean we can leave the palace. If any issues arise, we had to respond immediately, so I couldn’t relax.

“Saintess-sama, I shall escort you to your room to rest.” (Wilfred)

“Thank you very much. But… since we have the opportunity, I would be pleased if His Highness Harold could escort me this time.” (Christia)

Uhh… are you choosing me now?
