Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! Chapter 57

Prince Once Again⑤

Now, what's the situation?
Seems that I'm involved now.
Hmm, once you’re at the party's venue is there no choice but give up?

Let's summarize the events so far to calm down.

➀ A party invitation letter arrives at home.

➁ One can't afford to skip an event hosted by royal family (but father said I don't have to go if I don't want to).

➂ Allen-kun and Ange-sama are also able to attend, so we'll all go (Sana is staying home).

➃ When we arrived at the venue Allen-kun was kidnapped by older girls.

➄ Ange-sama was surrounded by members of the 'Wanting to get hit by Ange-sama's rod corps' which has grown since.

➅ I became involved with women who seek to marry Leon-sama.

And now the situation is at point ➅.
I can't shake off the girls, why did it come to this…

"… Hey! Listen to me a little!"

Yes?
It's noisy.
Once I stopped getting lost in thought, for some reason young n.o.ble lady entangled with me was getting angry.
Oh, somehow you could hear "oh" all around now.

"… Listen to me!"

Huh?
She's still angry.
Her eyes are a little watery too.
I didn't do anything.

"Hey, you, your engagement has been broken off, it's good you can even come to this place!"

"That’s right, Leon-sama is already looking for a new fiancée, you don't have to come!"

"What's with that, don’t feel so good just because you're just a little bit intelligent, Her Majesty favors you, and you're cute!"

It's always like this~.
And is the last one supposed to be a praise?
Everyone is aiming at Leon-sama~.
Okay, good, do your best.
I’ll support you!

The lady who got angry at me for not responding pushed me and tried to make me lose balance.

Thud.

The lady who pushed me was surprised.
After all, I didn't fall even though she pushed with a considerable power for a young lady.
She pushed again without learning her lesson.
It seems she can't believe what happened because our physiques looks similar.

Of course, the second time failed as well.
It's impossible to move me with such power.
However this lady with a strong spirit grabbed my body.
Is that what a n.o.ble lady really should do?

If you separate from me you can avoid it, but otherwise you might get hurt.
Is that fine with you?

I gently aimed at the body of lady who attacked me.
I think I killed as much momentum as possible.
It seems the hit connected, and she stiffened as expected.
I decided to talk to this person as gently as I can.

"Are you okay? I think such indomitable spirit is wonderful, but it will hurt if I hit your body with full force. It would be bad if you got injured and your beauty was ruined."

After I said that while supporting her body, she flushed and started nodding vigorously.
It will hurt if you keep doing that~.
Thinking about it, you can't hate that lady. She separated from me with vigor.
Huh~, did I become hated?

"Lillina!"

Um? T-this voice…
I was afraid to look back… Indeed, it was Leon-sama.
Leon-sama approached me with a wide smile.
Uh, neither Allen-kun nor Ange-sama are here, who's going to stop him?
An unexpected backup appeared while I was feeling troubled.

"""Leon-sama!!"""

It's the ladies from before.
They held onto Leon-sama who was trying to get close to me.
Nice play!
Thank you!
I used this gap to run away.
I'll never forget your help!

I managed to escape from Leon-sama somehow.
I expected to meet him ever since I came to this venue, but what I didn't predict is Allen-kun and Ange-sama being gone so soon.
Well, I wonder if they're okay.
I walked around the hall looking for those two.

"Lillinsama."

Someone called my name.
When I looked back, there was a man I didn’t recognize.
Hey, who is that?

"Oh, I've finally met you. I’ve always wanted to see you."

He seems to know me, but who is it?
I somehow remembered the records of n.o.ble Almanac.
Weeell?
Ah! That's it! He's the second son of a count.

"No matter how many times I send out a letter, I never seem to receive a reply, even when asking for marriage talks… I am grateful for the opportunity to meet directly like this."

Speaking of which, seems that he was on a matchmaking picture displayed by mother before.
But there weren't particularly high expectations of him being my fiancé.
That's why there was no need to deal with it immediately, and it should've been put away.

"I thought you'd be very beautiful being Prince Leon's fiancée, but my expectations were far exceeded upon seeing you. Would you please dance one song with me?"

…Yeah, I hate it.
This really is an unpleasant feeling.
Although he applied to be my fiancé, it was an out the moment he considered arranged marriage.
Well, now how should I leave this place?
