The Beloved Fiancee Is Likely to Be the Villain

The engagement party held in the grand hall of Count Abakarov’s mansion was so beautiful that I couldn’t help but sigh.

The massive hall was decorated with many colorful marguerite flowers, which seemed to have been gathered from all over the country. The name, of course, was in honor of my fiancée, the Crown Prince.

At the center of it all was the happy leading couple.

Lady Margaret was dressed in a milky yellow dress. The softly puffed skirt added a sweet impression and showed a new side of her, who was always full of energy.

Speaking of a new side, Harold was also standing next to her. With a calm expression on his face, his face was more relaxed than when he always stood behind His Highness, Prince Vincent.

Harold’s expression was completely different from his usual appearance. His eyes were so gentle as he gazed at Lady Margaret, and his face was so relaxed than his all the time stoic expression that it was unbelievable. Even my expression loosened seeing them together side by side.

It is often said that happiness brings a chain of happiness.

“Look at Harold-sama’s face. It’s as if he is going to melt.”

I gently pulled His Highness Vincent’s arms who nodded his head with a helpless expression.

“He hardly ever smile at me. ……”

I can’t help but laugh at his complain.

His Highness was very sensitive these days and for some reason, he gave the impression that he was more open to me than before. This made me very happy.

The incident at the coming-of-age party had changed the relationship between His Highness and me. I was so surprised that I almost had a stroke when His Highness bowed down on his knees after he had exorcised the crowd. ……His Highness looked up at my flustered face and said that he would try to avoid any more misunderstandings.

The same was true for the “sneak date” and for the two of us standing in public together like this. It was to determined and solidify our relationship so as not to be defeated by any strange rumors in the future.

That’s why.

“I’m here for to congratulate Harold-sama in His Highness Vincent’s name.”

Of course, I know that I am not as good as Harold, with whom His Highness has spent so much time as a brother. But I wish to be of service to His Highness, and stand beside him because I am sure there are things I can do to help.

When I expressed these thoughts, His Highness’ cheeks flushed. It quickly turned into a soft smile, but it seemed to have succeeded in cheering His Highness up.

“Oh?”

I suddenly felt a gaze on me and looked up.

Lady Margaret was looking at us intently. Mr. Harold was also looking at us and smiling.

He must want to greet us. His Royal Highness Vincent, the Crown Prince, was the highest-ranking person present today. It was true that it would be difficult for the other guests to speak to him until he finished his words of congratulation.

“His Highness, let’s go.”

I whispered softly and nodded with my eyes toward Margaret-sama, her face lit up with a flash as she understood my intention. I knew it.

With an escort, the two of us crossed the hall together.

Harold-sama and Lady Margaret, who were leaning close together looked at us with the eyes of full of hope for the future.

When I first met His Highness, he was eight years old and a little smaller than me in height. His Highness did not speak to me at that time. But his eyes were full of sincerity. I felt a sense of pride in knowing that he was being judged on his suitability for the position of King.

I quietly looked at his face. I looked at his profile, which was losing its boyish appearance, and I had to look up at him a little to see his calm and relaxed face.

I felt a warm feeling in my heart.

I can’t say these feelings in front of the two of them,…….

But it’s too embarrassing to tell him after the party was over.

I took one step closer to His Highness Prince Vincent, so that the others could not see me, and whispered in a low voice, “I’m sorry, but I want to tell you something, Your Highness.”

I whispered to him, “I would like to continue to walk with His Highness.”

The reply, which was only a term of endearment, came as a surprise to His Highness Prince Vincent.

I was so embarrassed. I was carried away by the happy atmosphere.

I suddenly turned my head to look at him after I said it, even though I meant every word I said, I couldn’t help but be flustered at his silence.

“D-d-d-don’t ……!!!!”

I thought I heard a stifled voice coming from two …… places, but was I imagining it?
