“Haru-san, is that person really your brother? I think he’s being way too rude!” (Liliana)
“Uwaah!?” (Harold)
Liliana narrowed her eyes and got close to me, and I instinctively recoiled.
However, from the conversation I had with Owen earlier, it seems like Liliana knows about Owen…?
“Well… About a week ago, His Highness Owen started occasionally walking past the front of the classroom, casting glances at me. And then…” (Liliana)
Liliana began explaining the events with Owen. At first, it was only in front of the classroom, but before long, she started feeling his gaze even in the hallway or other places. It became annoying, so three days ago, she asked him, ‘Do you need something from me?’
But Owen only looked down and didn’t try to say anything, and after a while, he silently ran off, which left Liliana in trouble. He kept repeating these actions until today…
“…I never thought he’d come and bother you, Haru-san. Until now, he’d only send me creepy glances from a distance.” (Liliana)
“I see…” (Harold)
After hearing Liliana’s story, I made a rather awkward face.
Uh… Based on my deduction, maybe Owen has fallen for Liliana…? His actions clearly resemble those of a middle schooler in their teenage years, too shy to speak to the person they like, just glancing from afar. And the reason he came after me was definitely because of jealousy or something, like he was being possessive.
“Eh… No way, that can’t be it.” (Liliana)
“Really…?” (Harold)
Liliana grimaced and waved her hand in denial. But Xandra and Monica, who were listening along, nodded in agreement with enthusiasm, so there’s no doubt about it.
“But, what if? What if he said he likes you?” (Harold)
“No way. I’m originally from a commoner background too, but there’s no way I’d accept such a rude boy.” (Liliana)
Ah, it seems that Liliana thinks Owen is “out of the question”. What should I do? Even though he was chosen to be the protagonist in place of Wilfred, he is not exactly acting like a protagonist at all. It’s truly pitiful.
“More importantly, let’s hurry to the dining hall! I’m starving!” (Liliana)
“Right…” (Harold)
While watching Liliana’s back as she ran down the hallway toward the dining hall, I had a bad feeling…
Ah, ahaha… there’s no way, right…
—
“Harold, there’s actually something I want to discuss with you.” (Raphael)
“Huh?” (Harold)
After school, Xandra and I were working in the student council room when the student council president, Raphael, called out to us.
But… What does he want to discuss?
“Uh, well… about that…” (Harold)
“Ah. You see, us third-year students will be retiring from the student council after summer break. And as for the next student council president…” (Raphael)
Ah, I have a really bad feeling about this.
“Sorry! There’s no way I can be the student council president!” (Harold)
“No, no. The royal family has no one but you, Harold… So, this is mandatory.” (Raphael)
It seems like I have no right to refuse. But, Raphael doesn’t acknowledge Owen as his brother. Well, in Owen’s case, since he was declared the illegitimate son of King Eibar and was suddenly made the Fourth Prince, it’s understandable that Raphael doesn’t trust him, considering that background.
“Don’t think too hard about it, just try doing it casually. Besides, with the current you, there are probably a lot of people who will help you, right?” (Raphael)
“Well… I guess…” (Harold)
“That’s the idea. I have high expectations for you. And if I become the next king, I definitely want you to be my right-hand man.” (Raphael)
“Ahaha…” (Harold)
I feel bad for having such high expectations placed on me, but I want to politely refuse. But, it’s strange… In ‘Enhaz’, Raphael was only focused on hindering Cardis and had no interest in the throne.
“…Well, if you’re aiming to become king, Brother Raphael, I wouldn’t mind cooperating. But, since I don’t know what kind of woman you consider to be the ‘world’s best fiancée’, there’s not much I can do…” (Harold)
“Well, about that…” (Raphael)
Huh? This feels like it’s going to get weird. Normally, Raphael has a friendly expression, but his gray eyes aren’t smiling. He’s looking at me with a face that’s red, just like Christina, one of the most calculating characters in Enhaz.
“!? Oh, Brother!” (Harold)
“I-I just heard you say you’d cooperate with me!” (Raphael)
Suddenly, I felt Raphael grab both of my shoulders, his expression serious, and I couldn’t help but shudder. I wanted to break free and run away, but his grip was too strong, and I couldn’t escape.
“So then! Could you arrange a chance for me to meet your friend, Lady Liliana?” (Raphael)
Yes. Raphael is, unexpectedly, aiming for Liliana.
