There are Definitely People who Looked at Me

“Humph… that scum is only enthusiastic at times like this. Well, he is a trivial person after all.” (Alexandra)

Xandra spat out those words as she glared at Wilfred, who was dancing with Christia in the center of the hall. Her opinion of Wilfred was so strong that it made me wonder if she might have even killed her own parent. There was no way I could sympathize with her.

“Xandra, please stop looking at someone like that.” (Harold)

“!? N-no, you’re wrong! The one I am always looking at is you!” (Alexandra)

When I pretended to sulk a little, Xandra hurriedly made an excuse.

What’s this? She looks so desperate and is super cute.

“Haha, I was just joking.” (Harold)

“Oh… seriously. That’s mean.” (Alexandra)

“Sorry.” (Harold)

This time, she turned her face away with a huff, and the tables were turned.

As expected, overdoing things isn’t good… right.

“Hehe, that’s payback.” (Alexandra)

Xandra turned towards me, stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously.

Oh no. My most favorite fiancée is nothing but cute.

“…It seems like the first dance is over.” (Alexandra)

“Then, it’s our turn next.” (Harold)

“Yes!” (Alexandra)

Taking her hand, I headed towards the center of the hall. The others also entered the circle for the dance with their partners, but…

“That is…” (Alexandra)

Lorenzo and Carla also joined the dance. However, her expression seemed troubled, as if reluctant.

“!? ” (Harold)

“…Haru-sama. Please refrain from getting distracted by other women during the dance.” (Alexandra)

“Ahaha.” (Harold)

Xandra, sulking, pinched my back lightly, and I gave a strained smile.

Indeed, I have to properly focus on dancing with her.

In time with the music, Xandra and I stepped lightly. As usual, my dancing had not improved at all, but even so, thanks to her lead, I wanted to think I was at least managing to make it work.

At that moment…

*Thud*

“Oh, my apologies.” (Carla)

The ones who bumped into us were none other than the pair of Lorenzo and Carla. Unlike Lorenzo, who lightly apologized with a calm expression, Carla had a genuinely apologetic look on her face.

“No, please don’t worry about it.” (Harold)

Bumping into each other while dancing is a common occurrence, so there’s no need to worry about it every single time. Besides, as someone bad at dancing, I don’t have the leeway to concern myself with others.

With that in mind, I quickly turned back to Xandra and focused on the dance, but…

“My deepest apologies for earlier.” (Lorenzo)

Well, right after the dance ended, Lorenzo came over and engaged me.

How troublesome.

“I really don’t mind, so please enjoy the party.” (Harold)

“I can’t do that. I have acted rudely toward Your Highness Prince Harold, the Third Prince. I cannot think of it as something that can be forgiven.” (Lorenzo)

Ugh, he’s persistent. I don’t want to get involved with the mastermind behind the Christia’s scenario.

And then…

“Y-your Eminence Salvatore! It’s about time we go! We can’t stay away from the Saintess any longer.” (Carla)

“H-hey, hey…” (Lorenzo)

Perhaps being considerate, Carla took Lorenzo’s hand and tried to lead him away from here. To be honest, that really helps.

Then, I intend to wholeheartedly go along with it.

“Then, even more so, we cannot keep you any longer. Please excuse us.” (Harold)

“Excuse us.” (Carla)

Xandra and I bowed and quickly left the scene.

“Haah… That was troublesome, wasn’t it?”  (Harold)

“Yes. However, that person… was it Carla-sama? I’ve gained a bit more respect for her.” (Alexandra)

When I sighed and sought agreement, Xandra nodded, and her expression softened.

I wonder if it is good in the end that Xandra’s impression of Carla changed.

“Then, I shall take my leave now, but everyone, please enjoy yourselves to the fullest.” (Eibar)

After that, the party proceeded without any issues, and King Eibar left the venue early, looking quite pleased.

For the first day, I suppose this is a passing grade. Not that I did anything, though.

That was what I thought, but…

“Your Highness Harold, thank you for your hard work today!” (??)

“Thanks to Your Highness, everything went smoothly! We are deeply grateful!” (??)

“Ah…” (Harold)

The civil servants and servants who had organized the party went out of their way to come over to me, offering words of appreciation and gratitude with smiles.

B-but, really, I didn’t do anything, though…

“Hehe… It seems that those who understand truly understand. How much effort you, Haru-sama, have put into welcoming the delegation from the Holy Kingdom.” (??)

“Ahaha.” (Harold)

Until I regained the memories of my past life, I, Harold,only wanted my mother’s approval, without considering those around me, solely trying to keep Cardis in a good mood. But after my memories as Haru Tachibana resurfaced, knowing the worst future, meeting the woman I admired most from my past life, and seeing all the different expressions she had, I’ve been able to change so much…

“Haru-sama…” (Alexandra)

“Yeah.” (Harold)

Even though Xandra kindly wiped the tears from my cheeks, she had such a happy expression that I couldn’t stop crying.

Really… my most cherished fiancée is the best.
