The Incompetent Bratty Prince is out (2/4 chapters)
First Queen Barges in This Time

“Come now, everyone! Eat lots!” (Harold)
At the banquet with everyone, I spread my arms wide and with a big smile, I encouraged them to enjoy the dishes that were packed tightly onto the table.
“Wowwowwowwow… It’s meat, it’s meat!” (Liliana)
“Yes, yes, eat as much as you like.” (Harold)
Liliana, who had her soul completely stolen by the roasted piglet, was already drooling uncontrollably. I nodded at her, feeling like a father for some reason.
This female protagonist is seriously such a disappointing heroine.
“Ufufu… When I visited last time as part of the delegation, I wasn’t able to enjoy a proper meal. Tonight, I will let myself indulge.” (Christia)
“Your Highness Harold, this hospitality exceeds even that of last time. I am deeply grateful.” (Carla)
“No, Carla-dono, you’re being way too formal.” (Harold)
I joked with Carla, who was bowing deeply, in a playful manner.
Still, I’m glad that she’s enjoying herself.
“Whoa…! This is the kind of food you’d never even imagine seeing in Salso…!” (Uly)
“I-Is that so? Then, would you like to have mine too?” (Lloyd)
“Huh? Really? Are you sure?” (Uly)
“O-Oh!” (Lloyd)
“Then, I’ll take you up on that offer without holding back!” (Uly)
““What!?”” (Lloyd/Liliana)
Lloyd tried to score points by offering Uly his food, but Liliana, who had sharp ears, quickly snatched it away.
I mean, just how gluttonous is Liliana? That intense determination of hers is completely unbefitting of a heroine at this point. Ahaha… Just watching everyone is so entertaining that I never get tired of it…
Or so I thought.
“Haru, make sure to properly express your gratitude to everyone, okay?” (Lizette)
Liz suddenly came over and whispered that in my ear.
Seriously… For a useless villainess, she’s way too considerate.
She’s noticed that I’m feeling down because of the issue with Cardis. She’s going out of her way to play along with my act of acting cheerful. It’s not just Liz either. Even Liliana, Uly, and Lloyd are going along with it too.
What am I supposed to do if my “precious people” just keep increasing like this?
“Don’t worry. Haru-sama is like a towering great tree.” (Alexandra)
“Ah…” (Harold)
Alexandra, who had been listening to Liz’s whisper, smiled at me with a gentle expression.
My fiancée is overestimating me way too much. But… If my favorite fiancée has such high expectations of me, then I have no choice but to meet them. Surrounded by my beloved fiancée and my “precious people,” I truly enjoy the banquet…
Or so I thought.
“Oh my? I never imagined that the Saintess would be at the royal palace.” (Wilfred)
“Ufufu, is that so? It was an invitation from His Highness Harold, so I was more than happy to come.” (Christia)
I had the bad luck of running into Wilfred in the corridor of the royal palace.
He ignored me completely and addressed Christia. However, Christia responded in a way that elevated my standing instead, leaving Wilfred with an awkward expression.
Serves him right.
“Well then, since it’s already this late, I will retire to my room for the night.” (Christia)
“Ah… In that case…” (Wilfred)
“Carla, let’s go.” (Christia)
“Understood!” (Carla)
Christia ignored Wilfred’s attempt to offer to escort her to her room. She quickly returned to her room with Carla in tow.
As she passed by, I noticed that the corners of her mouth were curled upward. That was a memorable sight.
“Fufu… You’ve been rejected, haven’t you?” (Lizette)
“And you are…?” (Wilfred)
“Could you not speak to me so casually? I am Lizette Josephine de Capetien. A ‘tainted prince’ like you has no right to call me that.” (Lizette)
Lizette laughed softly as she returned to her room.
It’s been a long time since I last heard the term “tainted prince”.
“Shall we go too?” (Harold)
“Yes.” (Alexandra)
Leaving Wilfred, who was trembling with a bright red face and shaking shoulders, we also returned to our respective rooms.

The next morning, Monica reported something to me, and I couldn’t help but let out a strange noise.
“Most likely, it is an attempt to oppose His Highness Harold. That scum has invited Warren and several female students to the royal palace.” (Monica)
“Is that so…” (Harold)
Opposing me? What is that even supposed to mean? Huh? Wait, don’t tell me… Is this some sort of childish “who has more friends” contest? Are we elementary school students?
“Fufu… As always, he shows his shallowness. A fool will always be a fool.” (Alexandra)
Alexandra sat on the bed, chuckling softly to herself.
Just so you know, there’s nothing inappropriate going on here, okay? It just so happened that we were talking in the bedroom, and that’s how this situation came about… Or rather, Alexandra said something like, “It’s easier to talk in the bedroom,” and just barged in here.
“Well, whatever. Let’s just leave Wilfred alone. Instead, since it’s the first day of summer vacation, how about we go explore the royal capital? Uly hasn’t seen it yet, so it’ll be a good chance to show him around.” (Harold)
“Harold! Come out here!” (Margaret)
A loud banging on the door echoed, accompanied by a high-pitched and grating voice.
If it isn’t obvious, it’s Margaret, isn’t it?
