The Incompetent Bratty Prince is out (2/4 chapters)
Became a Married Couple
Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
“Xandra… I love you more than anyone. That’s why… please marry me. Here, now, this very moment.” (Harold)
I took Xandra’s hand and kissed it, pleading with her.
Yes… this was the only answer I found to defy fate. Even if the force of compulsion… made me declare the annulment of our engagement, it wouldn’t matter if Xandra and I were already married. After all, being both married and engaged would be a contradiction.
“Ah, um…” (Alexandra)
Xandra was bewildered by my determination and confession.
Of course. No matter how much I want to avoid the worst future, this is far too sudden. But… my feelings are absolutely genuine.
“I want to become a married couple with you as soon as possible. Or rather, borrowing your own words, it might be more accurate to say I want us to be ‘bound mates’.” (Harold)
When I decided to marry her and consulted Monica, she told me about Xandra’s ability… ‘Dragon’s Favor’. A curse… said to have been bestowed upon the first Duke Chevalier by the legendary dragon Fafnir. An ability that makes the wielder obsessively love their chosen mate, growing infinitely stronger for their sake, a truly yandere-focused skill, both the strongest… and the most dangerous. And… those who possess the ‘Dragon’s Blessing’ simply wish to become bound mates with their chosen partner and spend their lives together.
Of course, such a skill doesn’t exist in ‘Enhaz’, and according to Monica, even in the history of the Chevalier Household, only the first duke, Xandra, and one other person had ever manifested it. Therefore, since Xandra, who was annulled by Harold and lost her life in ‘Enhaz’, no longer appeared, it made sense that the skill didn’t exist either.
However, the yandere-focused skill is a double-edged sword, and if the one chosen as the mate fails to fully accept their love, they would supposedly meet a tragic end. For someone like me, who has adored Xandra as my ultimate favorite from my previous life, this isn’t a problem at all.
“H-Haru-sama, you knew… didn’t you?” (Alexandra)
“Yeah. But even knowing you have ‘Dragon’s Blessing’, my love for you hasn’t changed.” (Harold)
“Ah…” (Alexandra)
Rather, isn’t a skill that makes you love only me the best thing ever? No matter how handsome someone else might be, there’s zero chance of you being stolen away. And on top of that, Xandra is incredibly devoted. From my perspective, it’s all benefits. Although, since it seems like she could lose control easily, I’d need to stay by her side and be careful.
“S-so, um… what do you think…?” (Harold)
Even though Xandra loves me, partly due to the effect of ‘Dragon’s Blessing’, my heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would burst out of my chest after making this once-in-a-lifetime proposal. I haven’t even received her answer yet, and if she rejects me here, the worst possible ending awaits… Wait, what!?
“Uwaa!?” (Harold)
“How could I not… how could I not accept! I’ve longed for the day I could be with you! I’ve yearned for your love for so long!” (Alexandra)
Xandra leapt into my chest, pouring out her feelings. Every single word of hers resonated deeply in my heart.
Even now, though I’ve gained such strength by fully utilizing my knowledge from my previous life, and even though most no longer call me the ‘incompetent bratty prince’, it’s all because of Xandra. You were the first to acknowledge me, and without you, none of this would’ve happened. So…
“Ahaha! I’m so happy! So happy!” (Harold)
I lifted Xandra and spun around in joy.
Huh? Am I crying? Of course, I am. It’s because… my most beloved fiancée from my previous life is now becoming my wife.
“Ahem. To formally become a married couple, you must hold a proper ceremony. Therefore, I, Monica Ashton…” (Monica)
“And I, Casparleague the Calamity Beast…” (Casparleague)
“…will serve as your witnesses!” (Monica/Casparleague)
Having my precious partner and irreplaceable personal maid as witnesses is the best.
“Yeah! Please take care of us!” (Harold)
“Please take care of us!” (Alexandra)
Xandra and I bowed deeply to Monica and Casparleague before standing in front of them.
“In good times and bad, in wealth and in poverty…” (Monica)
Monica recited the priest’s words commonly heard in wedding ceremonies. Beside her, Casparleague was mimicking Monica, moving his mouth silently.
So cute.
“…Your Highness Harold, do you swear?” (Monica)
“I swear.” (Harold)
This world’s vows are the same as those of a certain religion from my previous life. Well, considering that ‘Enhaz’ was created by people from that world, it’s only natural.
“…Milady, do you swear?” (Monica)
“Of course! Naturally! Absolutely!” (Alexandra)
Whoa, Xandra is eagerly stepping forward and declaring her vows. She’s completely ignoring the usual formalities.
“Ahem, since Milady is already on the verge of losing control… Your Highness Harold, Milady, please seal your vows with a kiss.” (Monica)
“Kiss! Kiss!” (Casparleague)
Uh… I’m fine with the kiss, but why are Monica and Casparleague standing so close? At this rate, I’ll end up kissing them before Xandra… Wait.
“Mmph!?” (Harold)
“Hnn… mmm… chuu…” (Alexandra)
Xandra firmly grabbed my face and gave me a deep, passionate kiss.
Well, I suppose.
“Nn… mmm…” (Harold)
I didn’t back down either and kissed her back.
“Puah… Haru-sama…” (Alexandra)
“Xandra… let’s always stay together.” (Harold)
“Yes… yes…” (Alexandra)
As tears spilled from Xandra’s crimson eyes, glowing with the activation of ‘Dragon’s Blessing’, I kissed her once more.
