The Beloved Fiancee Is Likely to Be the Villain

To clarify the situation, Elizabeth took quick action on this decision.

Since we are in the palace where Leohardt is also staying, she asks to see Leohardt and returns to the room she had just left with Harold and Lars.

Leohardt faces Elizabeth with a non-poisonous gentlemanly smile on his face. Elizabeth, in turn, also smiles softly.

“Leohardt-sama, I would like to know the reason why you are so interested in someone like me. If you have some compelling reason, I would like to help you.”

“I have no reason …… other than I am captivated by your beauty, Lady Elizabeth. Please take my hand and come to Orion.”

“But I’m engaged to His Highness Vincent.”

Elizabeth gently reminds him.

Leohard, however, does not change his facial expression and continues to speak with an expression of adoration on his face. It is clear to everyone that he has no intention of answering the question. I can feel a cold aura rising from the direction where Harold is, but I am too scared to look.

Lars is also emitting steam from his nose as a sign of motivation, but Leohardt isn’t intimidated by him because he still didn’t notice him.

Elizabeth bows her head as she says, “I’m afraid if you don’t reveal the truth, then I have to use force.”

“Well, I can’t understand how you will force me……”

Elizabeth beckons to Lars with her head down. And Lars quickly flies towards her while wagging his tail. He has become completely a dog.

With floating Lars on her side, Elizabeth raises her head and looks at Leohardt with her eyes wide open as she exclaimes.

“If you don’t reveal the truth then …… I will have this evil dragon burn you!”

Elizabeth points her finger at Leohardt – her eyes looking at him are emitting a powerful glaze. Maybe this is it, an act of intimidation.

Lars also seems to notice it, and with his eyes flashing, he squeals loudly, “Kyoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

“This is the legendary evil dragon that once upon a time destroyed a country in a single night!”(Leohardt)

“……”

“……”

For a moment, an angel passed by. But not the real Elizabeth, the metaphorical one.

Elizabeth, you are not a good actor. The dialogue delivery, as well as the expression on your face was too artificial. But you are still cute!

I can’t stop my heart from pounding at the new aspect of my fiancée, whom I have believed was perfect in every way.

Elizabeth stares at Leohardt with the most horrified look she can muster, despite my excitement.

“Please be a responsible man and reveal the truth! Or else, the flames of this Fire Dragon Ivelisse, will burn you to the ground!”

It’s ？？？？？　It’s cute, but ？？？？？

How can she be so cute but still scared?

I feel so overwhelmed with emotion that I can’t help myself anymore from squealing inwardly. Lars, who is floating in the air with his eyes glares at me, but his body is swaying left and right every time he moves his wings, and he seems to be on the verge of collapse.

However, the expression of Leohadrt, who is facing Elizabeth, is different.

“Lady Elizabeth,…… why do you say such horrible things? Do you hate me that much?”

He raises his eyebrows and looks at Elizabeth sadly. No, don’t try to change your expression. You just had, “What’s going on?” look on your face.

I am convinced he is acting by his reaction.

I knew he was not in love with Elizabeth. If he was in love with Elizabeth, he would be like me and Lars. He was too cunning and heartless to say the word of love from his poisonous mouth.

Above all, it’s funny that he’s following Elizabeth’s performance.

“Oh, I can’t believe you hate me…….”

Elizabeth becomes sad despite being the one threatening him.

Hah, God, she’s so cute.

I take one deep breath to calm my mind.

I didn’t want to fall in with Leohardt’s scheme, but I can’t just say so. Inheritance disputes can destroy entire royal families. It is not necessarily true that the fight for the throne of our neighboring country will not affect us. If Leohart wants to involve us, it is even more so.

I’ve decided that it’s time for me to make up my mind.

“That’s enough, Leohard. You don’t have to pretend anymore. Elizabeth showed mercy, but I would not.”

I try to make my voice sharp and break into the farce. I think Lars is somewhat relieved because his wrinkled face seems more relaxed now.

Perhaps I should have originally stopped Elizabeth, but I can’t say “that’s enough” to Elizabeth, who has worked so hard.

“His Royal Highness Prince Vincent ……”

Elizabeth looks up at me and nods. I also nod back to her, silently saying that “I’ll take care of the rest”.

“Hmm, so you’re finally willing to help us out, huh?”

“I have to protect my country (for a happy married life with Elizabeth). I was reminded of my duties as the Crown Prince when Elizabeth told me earlier.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

The soft smile that Leohardt has been wearing fell away as he raised his head. The corners of his mouth hung loosely, and his gaze, hidden by his bangs, cast a dark shadow.

An impossible dark shadow fell on the face that should have been illuminated by the chandelier.

In no time at all, the carefree smile on Leohardt’s face becomes a sinister, bewitching smile that was unimaginable in the past.

It is as if a darkness clung to Leohardt’s face.

The air in the room becomes chilly and a heavy chill creeps up from under my feet. I can’t help but shiver involuntarily.

Lars suddenly jumps out in front of Elizabeth, “Kaaagya —-!!!!” He shouts in alarm. His eyes, which had been flashing to intimidate Leohardt, are now glowing completely red.

Yeah, that’s the right reaction. When I raise my hand, Harold unintentionally releases his posture of being on the warpath.

Elizabeth, too, on the surface, looks fine, but I think deep down she is frightened.

It’s an instinctive fearful smile ……, a dark smile, you will only understand if you see.

“Stop making that face, Leohardt.”

“Hmm, I’m just glad you’re finally thinking of helping me.”

“I know you’ve been waiting for me to get tired of this.”

Sighing, Leohardt’s expression returns to its original smile.

Leohardt always has a pretty face and a pure, cat-like personality. But when he suddenly smiles a devil’s smile, all the impressions go down the drain. There were even rumors that those who saw Leohardt’s dark smile could not stand the shock and wouldn’t fall asleep for three days and three nights. It is said that several tutors also became his victims.

I even heard that he even worked as an exorcist to ward off demons that even the Archbishop couldn’t do which has been bothering them for a decade. …… I guess he was simply being materialistic and restraining himself in front of Elizabeth.

“Elizabeth, this is Leohardt’s true nature.”

“This is the true nature of ……”

“Yes. Leohardt has a very dark character.”

Leohart looks at me. I’m sure you’re trying to say the same thing, and will take the slander as if throwing a grain of salt, but don’t ever say that in front of Elizabeth. It seems Lars is the only one I can tolerate.

“And one more thing.”

Why was I suspicious of Leohardt’s attitude?

“Leohardt is a very blackbelied man.”
