“…” (Harold)
Why did Wilfred have to come into the dining hall right at this moment? And on top of that, he brought along Warren, the son of the knight commander, who I just had a scuffle with back at the dormitory. What’s the deal with those two, anyway?
“Heh… That scum ran off to the corner like a loser as soon as he saw Haru-sama’s face.” (Alexandra)
Xandra giggled as she looked at Wilfred, who silently went to sit at the far end of the dining hall after giving me a glare. Seeing her reaction, Liz tilted her head, while Christia, who was still burdened with trauma, turned pale.
“Could it be that you two don’t get along with His Highness Wilfred?” (Lizette)
“More than just not getting along – he’s our enemy.” (Harold)
I frowned as I answered Liz’s curious question.
He’s already removed the mask he wore as the unfortunate younger brother, and we’re openly antagonistic now.
“Hmm…” (Lizette)
“…Surely, Lizette, you aren’t interested in that scum, are you?” (Alexandra)
“No way… Haru and Xandra’s enemy is my enemy as well.” (Lizette)
With a clear expression like a villain, Liz brushed away her drill hair with her hand.
As expected of Enhaz’s notorious ‘villainess heroine’, she certainly looks the part.
“Well, enough talk about him. Let’s enjoy lunch, shall we? After all, it’s our first meal together.” (Harold)
“Yes!” (Christia)
“Yes, well, we are best friends, after all.” (Lizette)
“Indeed. This is fun.” (Alexandra)
“Very much so.” (Alexandra)
And with that, we shook off the distraction and enjoyed our lunch.
Except…
“…” (Harold)
Monica was the only one who kept an eye on Wilfred the whole time they were eating.
—
“Your Highness Harold, there is something I need to report to you.” (Monica)
As soon as lunch ended and I returned to my room, Monica approached me with an unusually serious look on her face.
…I had a feeling it would be about this.
“Could it be…? No, I don’t even have to ask. This is about Wilfred, right?” (Harold)
“Yes. I read their lips during their conversation in the dining hall earlier. That scum… or rather, something less than scum… seems to be planning something toward the female students who attended that party.” (Monica)
“‘Planning something’… what do you mean?” (Harold)
“I don’t know. But judging by the disgusting looks on both of their faces, it’s nothing good.” (Monica)
Ugh… Seriously, what’s he planning to pull now?
“I understand. In that case, we can’t just ignore this, can we?” (Harold)
“No, Your Highness Harold. I believe you should refrain from getting involved.” (Monica)
“What do you mean?” (Harold)
“There’s no doubt he’s plotting something, but if you get involved, it may put you in greater danger. Therefore…” (Monica)
Suddenly, Monica leaned close and whispered into my ear…!
“Monica!” (Harold)
“Your Highness Harold, this is the best strategy. Please, I beg you to consider it.” (Monica)
Monica placed a hand over her heart and bowed deeply. Her hazel eyes conveyed a resolute determination.
“…Do you understand how much you mean to me?” (Harold)
“Of course. I am honored to have received such affection from you. But I fear you don’t understand just how precious you are to me.” (Monica)
“Uh…” (Harold)
The forcefulness of Monica’s words made me hesitate. But I couldn’t back down here. I absolutely had to stop Monica from infiltrating Wilfred’s party.
“Monica, that’s an order. Don’t do it, no matter what.” (Harold)
“…Understood.” (Monica)
Biting her lip, Monica lowered her head.
I’ve crushed her resolve… her determination, all because of my selfishness. I don’t feel entirely free of guilt, but if I have to regret something, I’d rather regret that she’s safe and unharmed. However, I may never be able to face the heroine I abandoned. After all, I chose a supporting character over the main heroine. That’s the mark of a failed Enhaz fan… isn’t it?
“You… truly… are…” (Monica)
“Yes, but we still have some time before Wilfred’s party starts. Let’s try to think of another way.” (Harold)
“Yes…” (Monica)
I whispered as I held Monica in place as she jumped into my arms.
Yes. With Xandra, Monica, Cas, and me, we can make it through anything. We always have. So, this time too… Wait a second.
“Oh wow… Haruu, I have no idea what’s going on here.” (Casparleague)
Cas, who had been watching us with his front paw covering his face, muttered this.
“Wha–!? It’s a misunderstanding! I swear!” (Harold)
“Is that so…? Are you really going to abandon me, Your Highness Harold?” (Monica)
“Monica!? This isn’t the time to joke about that!” (Harold)
Monica, then, pretended to cry dramatically. And I desperately tried to explain everything to Cas so that he wouldn’t tell Xandra.
