The Beloved Fiancee Is Likely to Be the Villain

Today, the students of the Royal Academy is filled with excitement.

A foreign student from a neighboring country, who has a beautiful appearance and a charming personality has come to the country. This information has spread to the whole academy, even though it was kept confidential.

And after learning that the daughter of a Baron is accompanying him, the gossip about their relationship accelerated. Thousands of scenerio of ‘true love’ started to swirl in their mind. But soon, they become confused.

The reason is the handsome prince himself, Leohardt, has declared that he has no relationship with the Baron’s daughter and is ‘looking’ for a candidate for queen.

“If there is someone worthy of my trust and love, I would like to marry the person and take her to my kingdom, Orion.”

In simple terms his sentence means, “If I find someone I like, I would take the person with me anyhow”. Leohardt is aware if he said the words as it is, it would disturb the public morals, so he is just barely diluting it to the point of not being offensive. Since one of the functions of the Royal Academy is to gather the noble daughters of the same age and encourage them to marry, the search for a prospective queen itself cannot be punished.

I sigh at the buzzing atmosphere in the school.

I couldn’t help the criticising thoughts in my heart, even if you don’t stop picking on other people’s fiancee for the sake of friendship between our two countries, please don’t cause trouble in our country either.

“Harold.”

“It’s done.”

The question I was going to ask him to explore about the Kingdom of Orion is affirmed with a simple affirmation.

Well, it seems that it is no longer to stay idle thinking that there will be no trouble.

***

Classes are over as the bell for the last period rang.

After second period, a long break is taken.

Feeling as if a bug is flying around my ears to warn me about something, I got up from my seat and make my way to Leohardt’s class. I suddenly have a feeling that the conversation between Raphael and Leohardt, who comes in my view as soon as I reach the freshman class is about to evolve into something even more troublesome.

Raphael told me that those who are well-versed in magic become sensitive to the flow of magic power circulating in the world and develop a sixth sense. It seems that I know what is going to happen, even if it is only vaguely.

I wonder if I would be able to fix the troubles cause by Leohardt.

“You are looking for a candidate for queen? Then it is good that you have chosen our country to study abroad. As you can see, this country has beautiful flowers of many colors.”

“I am glad to hear that. It is heartening to make the acquaintance of someone like you.”

There is Raphael, sitting in front of Leohardt and talking amicably with him.

The surrounding noble daughters’ cheeks are stained red at the sight of the prince of a neighboring country and the most popular man in the school, Raphael, who is a man of a certain degree of humanity in public, easily attracts the attention of women because of his intellectual appearance, soft demeanor, and status as the son of a Marquis.

“Raphael, what are you doing here?”

I ask as soon as I reach them. Both Rafael and Leohart look up at me as if they had just noticed me. No, you two definitely noticed me before but pretended not to.

Rafael bowed gracefully to me and look at Leohardt again without answering my questions.

“Our conversation isn’t over yet.” He said. “I look forward to seeing you and talking you again, Your Highness Leohardt.”

“It is my pleasure, to speak with you again.”

“…… at least let’s do it after school, in a different classroom.”

The freshman students panicked a little when I showed up.

The prince who had come from a country to study here alone is a cause for concern for everyone. But when the Crown Prince of the country and the son of a powerful Marquis are seen together along with the neighboring country’s Prince, it was no surprise that people will be flustered. It’s too much stimulation for the new students, who have just entered the school and have no connections with their superiors.

I look at Miss Lisha, who is sitting by the window with her face glued to her reference book, giving off an aura that she hasn’t seen me or has anything to do with me.

“Let’s go, Raphael.”

The classroom is filled with admiration for Raphael who winks at the younger female students. For some reason, even the noble sons’ cheeks are tinted.

…… Well, everyone has a expression of “I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ve just seen something amazing!” No one would think seriously about the purpose of Raphael’s visit to this classroom, or why I am here.

We walk down the hallway for a while and stop when we got to a secluded place and out of everyone’s sight.

“So why did you approach Leohardt?”

There must be a good reason why he came all the way from his third-year classroom in a different school building to speak with someone he just met.

Raphael nods his head, smiles thinly, and answers my question this time.

“I didn’t have any business with the prince. I was told there was an exchange student girl here so I went.”

“But you were talking with……

“I see,……, is that why my father was summoned?”

The other party’s eyes narrows as he stares at me.

“Don’t divulge your nose where you aren’t supposed to.”

“But it’s very interesting, though, isn’t it?”

Raphael’s reaction to my my warning was as I expected, but it still didn’t fail to make me suprised.

I’m sure he knows what I’m talking about without me explaining much.

I will not give information to Raphael. Because – because – because

“I have put a restraining order around my fiancée. No one can get close to her without my permission.”

That’s what I mean.

This lovesick walking pick-up artist, even though he now has someone he is interested with, I can’t let him get close to Elizabeth. Not to mention, there is Lars who had become a evil dragon and is still kept in the royal palace, who is already infatuated with Elizabeth. He may have already succeed in hooking up with Miss Lisha …….

“But it’s weird that the Prince had brought a black-haired, dark-eyed Baroness to the academy. Her personality is so much like Ulysses, don’t you think?

“……”

I widen my eyes hearing Raphael’s words.

A suspicion that had been mired in Lars’s fuss and had become mired in obscurity. Leohardt and Miss Lisha’s appearance were too deliberate to be coincidental. Am I the only one who felt something is wrong?

“The girl seems to be good in magic. The quality and quantity of her magic power are perfect.”

“What?”

“You’re curious, aren’t you? I’m sure it’s just a coincidence, but I wonder what that Prince is thinking.”

Raphael puts the tip of his slender finger to his chin and rubs in contemplation.

When it comes to magic, the man in front of me is best in it. Although I hate to admit it, it’s true.

“We’ll get back to you…… when the time comes.”

“Thank you.”

Raphael, who saluted me as a noble son, was not at all intimidated by Harold’s piercing stare.
