‘Important People’ Have Seen Through

“Perhaps I shouldn’t be saying this… but truly, it’s pathetic.” (Alexandra)

After the day’s lessons ended, Xandra sighed and shook her head as the students in the classroom prepared to leave. She watched the female students getting excited for the party hosted by Wilfred.

“It can’t be helped. They were simply invited without being told what lies behind it.” (Harold)

“…” (Alexandra)

“Besides, the host is the Fourth Prince, Wilfred. For these noble young ladies, refusing would be difficult.” (Harold)

He’s trying to use his royal position to do something so audacious. I’m not just aiming to crush this vile scheme. I plan to back Wilfred into a corner, so he has no chance at succeeding the throne. He has no right to call himself the protagonist anymore.

“Well then, I’ll be leaving now.” (Wilfred)

“Y-Yes!” (??)

The heroines gazed at Wilfred with dreamy eyes as he left the classroom. However, they threw glances of jealousy and resentment at Marion, who followed after him.

I never expected that, by the second day of school, Wilfred would have already raised his favorability with the heroines this much. At the very least, there was no sign yesterday of him interacting with other ‘Enhaz’ heroines, so how in the world did he…?

“Haru-sama, let’s think about it later. First, let’s take down that scum.” (Alexandra)

“Xandra…” (Harold)

From my expression, she must have noticed. I find myself quite disturbed by the situation in which Wilfred, the protagonist of ‘Engage Hazard’, is moving in the direction that he desires, as if he is loved by God. Ahaha… Xandra’s holding my hand tightly, doing her best to comfort me.

“Exactly. Tonight, the priority is to put an end to him.” (Alexandra)

Although it was sudden, preparations had already been made with the cooperation of Cedric and Raphael. Now, all that was left was to wait for the right moment.

I smiled at Xandra and Monica, clenching my fist tightly… and then.

“Monica?” (Harold)

“… No, it seems it was just my imagination.” (Monica)

“Huh?” (Harold)

Monica had a suspicious look on her face, so I called out to her, but she just looked around briefly and shook her head.

I returned to the dormitory and was getting ready for the evening when I received a call and came to the lounge area, but…

“Er… um…” (Harold)

For some reason, I was surrounded by Liz with a sullen face, Christia with a cheerful smile, and Carla with a furrowed brow.

“Did you think we wouldn’t notice?” (Lizette)

“That… what do you mean…” (Harold)

“Ufufu… of course, I mean the plan to stop the party hosted by His Highness Wilfred.” (Christia)

What…? How did they find out about that?

I glanced at Monica to confirm, but she shook her head from side to side, indicating that she didn’t know either.

“Please don’t underestimate us, Harold-sama. Both the Saintess and I are here at the Royal Academy as representatives of the Holy Kingdom. This also applies to Her Highness Lizette, who came from the Capetien Kingdom.” (Christia)

“Well… yes, that’s true…” (Harold)
“In other words, we didn’t come here without preparation or measures in place.” (Christia)

With Christia’s additional explanation, I finally understood. In other words, they too had deployed intelligence agents in this country, just like Monica.

I mean, naturally, considering Carla is here as a bodyguard, both the Saintess and the first Princess are important figures. It’s no surprise they brought such escorts from their own countries.

“…Even if that’s the case, what do you three want from us? Besides, this is an issue for the Dehaubalz Kingdom. It’s not related to you.” (Haru)

I purposefully spoke coldly to the three. It was undoubtedly our problem, and most importantly, I didn’t want them to be involved in this matter… but!

“Haru! Be reasonable! Weren’t you and I friends?” (Lizette)

“L-Liz, calm down…” (Harold)

“Calm down? Oh, I am calm! I can clearly see that you’re intentionally distancing us with that cold attitude!” (Lizette)

I found myself recoiling at Liz’s intense approach.

“Your Highness Harold, as Her Highness Lizette said, we once crossed swords and shields. So why can’t you entrust your back to me?” (Carla)

“…………” (Harold)

“Ufufu, please accept it. Your only choice, Harold-sama, is to let us join the plan to thwart His Highness Wilfred’s scheme. Of course, we’ll protect ourselves. So…” (Christia)

Ugh… why won’t anyone listen? I just don’t want to drag innocent people into this.

“Haru-sama… if I may, I’d like to give you some candid advice. I deeply appreciate your kindness in trying to protect everyone like this.” (Alexandra)

“…” (Haru)

“But, like everyone else, it would deeply sadden me to be pushed away, and it would be unbearably painful not to be able to help you.” (Alexandra)

“Xandra… that’s…” (Haru)

“Haru-sama, if I distanced myself from you to protect you, how would you feel?” (Alexandra)

Xandra, that’s unfair. If you ever did that to me, I’d surely feel frustrated, sad, and pathetic… and end up hating myself.

“…Fine.” (Harold)

“Haru-sama…?” (Alexandra)

“I understand. I’ll let everyone help. But be ready, because I’ll put you all to hard work.” (Harold)

“W-What are you saying? Haru won’t be working us hard. I’ll be the one working you hard!” (Lizette)

“Ufufu, understood.” (Christia)

“Indeed! Please leave it to us!” (Carla)

At my words, the three of them showed broad smiles.

Really… what can I do with them? But you’re right. If the ‘important people’ are in danger, I’ll just protect them myself. That’s exactly why I gained the strength to protect.

“…After all, you’re my… Haru-sama.” (Alexandra)

“Xandra?” (Haru)

“Fufu! Oh, it’s nothing!” (Alexandra)

Xandra stuck out her tongue slightly and smiled mischievously.
