Feeling Mother’s Warmth for First Time

“Well, well! Then, Your Highness Harold, you have tamed the legendary disaster beast Casparleague!” (Norma)

“I guess so?” (Harold)

Yes, it’s me, Harold. I am currently being bombarded with questions from Lady Norma. And it’s been two hours already. By the way, I’m in the middle of explaining the incident, thanks to Monica bringing up the topic of the Henwen beast subjugation. Thanks to that, Cas is sitting on my lap with a super smug face.

Meanwhile…

“…” (Duke/Cedric)

The Duke Chevalier and Cedric, who probably find my story boring, were still rolling their eyes the whole time.

My condolences.

“But not only did you subjugate the Henwen beast, you even acted to resolve the ‘Saintess Kidnapping Incident’, so rumors really can’t be trusted, can they?” (Norma)

“Ahaha.” (Harold)

No, no, the rumors about the ‘incompetent bratty prince’ aren’t wrong, you know? Though, that was before I regained the memories of my previous life.

“That’s right, Okaa-sama. Despite how wonderful Haru-sama is, it’s infuriating how clouded the people around him are.” (Alexandra)

“…” (Duke/Cedric)

Sandra clenches her fists and furrows her brows as she passionately arguing. In contrast, Duke Chevalier and Cedric were awkwardly looking down.

Well, I don’t think those two are to blame, though.

“And that scum… Wilfred, in the ‘Saintess Kidnapping Incident’ too, stole Haru-sama’s achievements, and thanks to the King’s orders for the propaganda, he’s being treated like a hero. It’s absolutely unforgivable.” (Alexandra)

Xandra’s gesture of waving her fists around is so cute that I’ve been on the verge of losing it for a while now.

“Alexandra. There are people who properly see these things. Besides, more than anything, as his fiancée, you should be the one watching him closely. That alone is like giving His Highness Harold a million allies.” (Norma)

“Okaa-sama… yes.” (Alexandra)

I thought she seemed gentle, but she also has a firm core, truly a model of motherhood.

“…Norma is my wife.” (Duke)

No, no, no, no. Why are you muttering that with open jealousy while looking at me? In the first place, I’m completely devoted to my beloved fiancée.

And…

“Hehehe.” (Alexandra)

Yeah… despite being the kingdom’s largest noble family, the Chevalier Household is so close and such a wonderful family.

Wrapped in this warm atmosphere, I found myself smiling because it was just so fun. In the royal palace, I couldn’t even become a spare for Cardis, no matter how much I flattered or fawned. I was just branded as incompetent. Not only my father, King Eibar, but my mother, Margaret, never once looked my way. In the end, I had no choice but to become the worst ‘incompetent bratty prince’. It was something I could never obtain.

“Ah. Lady Norma…?” (Harold)

“Hehe… Your Highness Harold, you’ve truly worked hard all this time. Worked hard, worked hard, even if you couldn’t obtain the warmth of family, still believing that one day, they would notice you.” (Norma)

Suddenly, I was hugged tightly, and I didn’t know what to do. Lady Norma whispered gently into my ear.

“Your Highness Harold. You are the man who will become my precious daughter Alexandra’s husband. Therefore, you are also my precious son, you know? So, from now on, feel free to rely on me. As your mother, I will always be watching over you.” (Norma)

Is it really okay? After all, I’ve never even been treated kindly by my real mother, so for me to rely on Xandra’s mother is…

“Here goes.” (Norma)
“Wha…!?” (Harold)

I was hugged even tighter, and my face was buried in Lady Norma’s chest. It was soft, warm, smelled nice, and I didn’t want to leave. I wanted to stay like this forever.

“My dear, dear son. Mother will always be watching over you.” (Norma)

“Yeah… yeah…” (Harold)

Before I knew it, I was hugging Lady Norma back. The warmth that I had never received from my real mother… to fill not only the loneliness of these 14 years but even from my past life, I poured all my feelings into it.

I’m so glad that I, Harold, am Xandra’s fiancé. I’m so glad that I’m Harold.
