The Incompetent Bratty Prince is out (3/4 chapters)
Precious People are Brainwashed

“Lalanoa. Since he is my brother, it’s not right to attack right away. Harold is going to die in a… tragic accident. Don’t you think so too?” (Wilfred)
“Yes…” (Christia/Carla)
Leading the subdued Christia and Carla, Wilfred appeared with a calm expression on his face.
I see… So, Lalanoa’s unique skill, [Fairies’ Mischief], brainwashed the two of them.
“You really don’t hide anything anymore. Since it’s you, I’m sure you’ve already eliminated the teachers who were stationed here, but don’t you think about the possibility of encountering other students?” (Harold)
“No need to worry. My companions… are keeping other students away.” (Wilfred)
“Companions? You mean harem members, don’t you?” (Harold)
When I threw that sarcasm, Wilfred made a clear grimace.
It seems he’s aware of it himself, which is a relief. I mean, if he dislikes hearing it, maybe he should tone it down a little. This lecherous bastard.
“What’s this guy! I can’t believe this is Your Highness Wilfred’s brother!” (Lalanoa)
“It can’t be helped… Even though he’s my brother, we don’t have the same mother, and he was the former lackey of the First Prince, Cardis.” (Wilfred)
What’s this? Is he trying to say his mother is great? Well, even though she was just a baron’s daughter, she used her beauty fully and rose to the position of Third Queen, so I guess she’s not without cunning.
“But you yourself are nothing special. In fact, you lost to me in a duel a year ago.” (Harold)
“Tch! You only won because you used underhanded tactics! That’s what His Highness Wilfred said!” (Lalanoa)
“Is that so?” (Harold)
“…” (Lalanoa)
Pfft. Lalanoa probably thought she was backing him up, but for Wilfred, that only adds shame.
Sure, rumors spread in the palace that ‘Harold committed injustice’, but all the nobles and citizens of the royal capital witnessed our duel, and it’s obvious that it wasn’t unfair.
Besides, if he calls it unfair to the person who fought him, he’d be too embarrassed to show his face. I’d recommend he digs a hole and buries himself.
“Well, whatever. So, you’re going to make it look like an accident and take me out, right? Hurry up.” (Harold)
I raised my “Jet Black Shield Casparleague” and got into a combat stance. At the same time, Uly raised both hands toward Wilfred, and Lalanoa swung her arms around…
Clang!
“… Looks like Carla-dono’s making the first move.” (Harold)
“Your Highness Harold, prepare yourself!” (Carla)
Carla, with empty eyes, attacked with an expression devoid of emotion. Wilfred and Lalanoa were grinning unpleasantly as they watched.
They must think that if they make my “precious people” fight, I won’t be able to interfere. It’s something underhanded that Wilfred would think of. It’s laughable that such a person is the protagonist of ‘Engage Hazard’.
… However, the effect is outstanding.
“Haru-kun!” (Ulysses)
“Haru-san! Me too!” (Liliana)
“No! If the two of you join in, you’ll end up hurting Carla!” (Harold)
““But!”” (Liliana/Ulysses)
The two bit their lips in frustration, but I couldn’t accept the thought of my ‘precious people’ fighting each other. Don’t worry. I’m number one in defense in Enhaz now. I’ll keep blocking until Carla’s so tired she can’t swing her sword anymore.
“More importantly, you two need to watch out for Wilfred! They’re probably targeting you!” (Harold)
“U-Understood!” (Liliana)
“Got it!” (Ulysses)
It might sound strange, but there are two protagonists in this world. If we’re talking pure potential, Liliana and Wilfred should be on equal footing. So, if Uly supports, we should actually be in a better position.
“Hey! Don’t ignore me!” (Liliana)
“Ahaha! What are you saying? You’ve brainwashed Carla and the Saintess, so you can’t do anything!” (Harold)
That’s right… In ‘Enhaz’, the skill [Fairies’ Mischief] unfortunately isn’t like normal buffs or debuffs. Unless Lalanoa, the user, cancels it, no other skills can be used. Furthermore, Lalanoa Erin, the heroine, has low physical stats compared to others in ‘Enhaz’. In hand-to-hand combat, she can’t even match Liliana.
“Lalanoa, don’t worry. I’ll save them from Harold.” (Wilfred)
He just said something that makes it sound like I’m controlling them. Well, I won’t deny that I do control Liliana through meat, though.
“Uwah… Uly-san, did you hear that?” (Liliana)
“Yeah. He’s completely drunk on himself.” (Ulysses)
““Gross.”” (Liliana/Ulysses)
Liliana and Uly were both taken aback by Wilfred’s words. Their one-liner seemed to really get under his skin, as Wilfred was visibly enraged.
“… Seems like when you associate with the ‘incompetent bratty prince’, it corrodes your soul.” (Wilfred)
“Wilfred-sama! Please take care of those guys!” (Lalanoa)
Wilfred shook his head in exasperation, while Lalanoa raised her fist and shouted commands. Watching them, I couldn’t help but feel exasperated, but I was being pushed back by Carla’s attacks.
Then…
“!?!” (Harold)
“… Ufufu, you should never be too complacent, Your Highness Harold, everyone.” (Christia)
Christia grinned, curling the corner of her lips, and cast a skill of unknown effect… at me… Uly… and Liliana.
