49-49. Engagement cancellation



'The Duchess of Selina-Bronchneige. I take this opportunity to sentence you to break off your engagement!

 The moment I heard that line.
 The moment I heard that line, a sense of dismay, "Oh, I'm here......." swept over me.

 The place I was summoned to was a party.
 It's the kind of extravagant event where high ranking aristocrats, especially young people, gather.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this topic.

 No one can see me, who suddenly appeared from the banner with the coat of arms painted on it.
 Even if Ituna and Cianne had been out, no one would have seen them.
 Because everyone here is paying attention to the every move of the one who made the earlier declaration and the one who is supposed to have made it.
 The former is a beautiful man, clothed in better quality clothes than the rest of the nobility.
 The latter was a beautiful young lady called Selina-Bronchneige.

 In my many itineraries, this pattern has only been counted, but I can assure you at this point in time.
 Without a doubt, this is a different world with a villainous daughter.
 I think I should explain what a villainess is, but I'll do it later.
 For now, just make people aware that the villainess = Selina.

 Right now, my priority is what my wife told me to do.

'Appraising Eye Activation.'

 
 Contrary to her calm demeanor, a major change was about to happen to Miss Selina. 
 The magic wave that was a pale light blue color changed to gold. During that time, only a few tenths of a second.
 Her true name also changed from Selina-Bronchneige to a common Japanese name.

''Oh no...no...no lie.''

 Miss Selina's complexion quickly turns blue and her lips quiver.
 This is what is commonly referred to as "remembering a previous life". The shock of being told to break off the engagement reminded Miss Selina of her previous life as a Japanese.
 And as is customary, she knows what will happen next.
 Deportation or execution. Or worse, a future of destruction.

 Oh, but how do I know the future? I forget.

 Anyway, the reincarnated person who resists the hopeless future in different degrees that is the villainous girl I know.
 Well, let's put aside for the moment the story of her battle that will come in the future.

 Just to be sure, the beautiful woman who announced the breakup of her engagement also looks at it with an appraising eye.
 His true name is Alex-Ovan. There is no particular abnormality in the magic wave motion. It's an ordinary otherworldly person.
 Probably a prince of the country. If not, he's probably a person of considerable status, judging by his clothing.

 If you look around further, there is.
 It's another girl who wears a golden magical wave of power.

 She has a cute appearance, like a perfectly normal Japanese.
 She was obviously not someone who was appropriate for this place, but she was watching the situation from a little behind the prince.

 His true name, Shirahumi Hasumi.
 An otherworldly tripper just like me.
 One of the parties involved in this play.

 There are several other beautiful men near the girl, glaring at Miss Selina as if to shoot her.
 Including them, there are only two people here who have golden magic waves.
 The reincarnated Selina and Renmi, the tripper.

 After knowing this much, I........shamefully, I had no idea what to do next.
 First of all, I don't have a lot of experience with villainous girls. Only seven times. Of which, only three cases, including this one, have been summoned to the scene of a broken engagement.
 With the engagement breakers, the pledges aren't always the main cast members in front of me, but sometimes they're outsiders in the surrounding area, and for some reason, they're often romance-related pledges.

 I'm not certain that it's a lot.
 I'm not sure, but for some reason, my wife has done a lot of things that have helped her achieve her vows.
 Especially in the cases of broken engagements, it was left entirely up to the wife.
 It's because the villainous daughter's other world has elements of both seriousness and romantic comedy, which I'm not good at.

 I'm not good at the subtleties of young male and female romance or anything like that.
 When you get right down to it, a man and a woman, it's do-or-die, in my opinion.

 

Why.........is that? Alex-sama.

 Serena looks up with a snap.
 Her voice is trembling, but her eyes are filled with a strong will.

 Has the villainous daughter decided to resist the future this time?
 Even though it's doomed if you don't stand your ground here, the girl who reincarnates as a villainous daughter is mentally strong.

'Why? Why? You're still trying to get out of the shira at this point in time!

 Alex accused Selina, distorting her good looks.

'Sylla or not. I have no idea what I'm talking about.

 Serena, in contrast, is calm and collected.
 She must be appealing to the nobles around her that she really doesn't know why she's being condemned.

''You have unjustly abused Hasumi!

 Alex, in contrast, was furious and waved his hands in an exaggerated manner.
 Selina's pouty face here is also probably an act.
 A pose that she had no intention of doing so to the surrounding nobles.

''Unfair torment, is it?''

 Huh, Serena sighed and then urged ahead in a calm tone.

'Such as what?'
Such as? You're not going to admit it.

 Alex crossed his arms as he started to think about it, tongue in cheek.

'I heard that you told Hasumi not to dance with me at the Bunshoku Festival party.
'That's because I didn't want to cause Hasumi any unnecessary embarrassment. She is from another world. She can't do the dance of a nobleman.

 Oh, I knew it's Hasumi's pattern that she's from a different world and is being protected by the government.
 
 It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

'You say you don't want to embarrass me, but you're saying something that would embarrass Hasumi here!
I don't have the luxury of worrying about Hasumi when she's publicly calling off the engagement.

 That's right.
 The surrounding aristocrats are also nodding small, as if they agree with Selina's opinion.
 The men around Renmi have stern faces, but they don't even argue.

 So, what about the all-important Alex?

''Hm. You have revealed your true nature, you vixen?

 .... hmmm.
 You don't mind if I hit this guy, do you?
 No, no, I killed the prince position with that before and it made things complicated.
 Serena's doing her best, so we'll have to be patient here.......

 At any rate, we've figured out that this guy's head is a thing, and we know what it is.
 I named him Prince Ale.

I'll tell you what else. I heard you told him to stay away from me.

 Prince Ale says with a smug look on his face.
 What comes to Serena's face when she hears that is confusion.

''Stay away........shall I say? I was just complaining that it is not desirable for other women to come into contact with Alex-sama, who has a fiancée named me, in any way.
That's the problem!

 Which is the problem?
 Isn't it obvious?
 I understand that Prince Ale's head is the problem.

'I'm the First Prince, I'm the First Prince, and I'm the one giving you permission. Serena, you're so far beyond your authority!

 Oh, so he was a prince after all.
 And if he's the first prince, then he's the next king.
 The future of Ovan's kingdom seems bleak.

I'm sure you're not the only one. Do you seriously mean it?
Of course!

 Serena is left speechless by Prince Ale's powerful declaration.

'And then--'
That's enough, Allen.

 The one who stopped Prince Ale, who was about to open his mouth, was Hakumi Renmi.
 Moreover, he called the man who is the first prince by his nickname in a disgusting manner.
 It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

''Sh, but Hasumi.''
''It's no use. Apparently, Serena-sama doesn't seem to approve of anything you say....

 Renmi proudly slipped past Prince Ale and confronted Selina head on.

''I'm sorry it's come to this,''
Mrs. Hasumi....

 It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of this article.

I'm sure Serena-sama may have been concerned about me, but..............................but I am sure that I was hurt by that, right?
I'm sorry about that.

 Renmi's crying voice had dampened her spirits, and Selina returned to her bare bones and bowed her head.
 It might not be good. Even if it's only partially, it's a form of admission that Selina has admitted that she was wrong when she apologized.
 Moreover, Renmi's offensive is not over.

'What's important here and now is not whether Serena-sama is making a good argument or not. The only thing that matters now is the fact that the first prince, Allen, is angry at me for seeing me injured. It may be an accusation from Serena-sama's point of view, but...

 ...this woman.
 What she says is absurd, but she managed to turn it into a story about her heart and show everyone around her that she's the victim.
 Moreover, she even used the emotions of the next king candidate, Allen, as a weapon to tell the aristocrats who they should be siding with.

 It has come to this point where it's all about politics. It's more about profit and loss than legitimacy.
 And the aristocrats I've seen in my life are creatures driven more by family interests than by legitimacy.
 All that's left is to have a cause there. Hakumi Renmi clearly understands this before acting.
 

''But Serena-sama apologized to me. It looks like it was a misunderstanding.''

 Serena, who was giggled at, was puzzled by the unexpected turn of events.
 Regardless of that, Renmi spun her cute little body around and looked at Prince Ale.

'So let's do this, Allen. The graduation ceremony is in a week's time. You can decide whether or not to break off the engagement again there.''
What? But that's not the plan.
Yeah. So change of plans.

 ...No, no.
 Your smile says we're right on schedule, Renmi.
 What the hell are you up to?

Let's go, Allen.
'Oh, yeah...'

 She walked away with Allen and the other men in her cronies and walked away from the crowd of people.
 That imposing figure even exudes the dignity of a champion, unbecoming of a girl.
 Selina, who was left alone, can only look away from the back of Renmi and the others, stunned.

 Naturally, they pass by me, who was stationed near the entrance, but....
 Renmi suddenly turns her gaze towards me and her eyes widen in surprise.
 Well, it's natural that there is a Japanese person in the same room.......

''.........mikke.

 He approaches me with an irreverent smile and a lick of his tongue.

'Nice to meet you. What's your name?
This is Ryouji Sakahagi.

 He was so pressured that he couldn't say his usual name.

''Yes. I'm Hakumi Renmi.......nice to meet you?

 With a carefree smile on his face, which was a change from before, this time Renmi left the hall.
 I feel like I was lightly glared at by Prince Ale and his cronies, but that doesn't matter.

 There are more important things.
 It's a matter of the meaning of my existence, a matter that can't be viewed from the sidelines.

"Don't you want me?
