48 Katrina's Perspective

"You were the one who incited Katrina!"
"Even you said that Katrina is suitable for the fiancée of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Anyway, now that this has happened, I can no longer protect Katrina."
"No, one more time… yes, please come and talk to Her Majesty. Otherwise, what will happen to Katrina!"


Noisy...noisy...noisy!

every day every day.
Both father and mother are selfish.
Lock me in my room and never let me out.

tell me what i did
I'm not wrong
I'm not wrong.

… Ah, Your Highness.

Your Highness, Your Highness.
Why is it like this?
I was just born to be your wife. Even though that is the future that should exist.

Ever since I was born, my parents have loved me more than my brother. I could get whatever I wanted, and that was what I deserved. I can't do what I want. From an early age, it was normal to think that way.
So when I told my parents that I fell in love with His Highness, they were overjoyed and said, "That's good! Katrina's future is a queen,' he said, stroking her head.
From that day on, my future was set.

That's why I've been doing my best in class, manners, and dance.
Socially, I was actively involved with children of the same age. In particular, she, who is also the daughter of the Marquess, was said to be a fiancée candidate for Her Highness, just like me, so I was particularly concerned and shortened the distance between her.
Of course, it's a pity that I was chosen, so I won't say that I didn't feel that way.

Even so.
Everything changed that day, the day I turned fourteen.

On the day that woman was chosen as His Highness' fiancée.

『Mother, why was Rachel-sama chosen!?』It wasn't decided by me.'
"Mother knows you deserve it too. …It seems that he chose it based only on magic power. That girl seems to have strong magical powers. Other than that, you're better than me, but it's disgusting.』
"I don't want to marry someone else! I thought I could become His Highness's princess.』
"Yes, of course. So does your mother.
If His Highness realizes that she is unfit to be a princess, she will surely choose you.』

I see, did His Highness choose her only with magical power?
Then, if she becomes unsuitable, I will be chosen.

I see.
It's not easy.
In that case, you should get along with her as before and see the timing.
She has a good-natured side, so if you don't miss the chance, the chance will come.

Well, until that time, let me lend you the status of being His Highness's fiancée.

that's what I thought.

……That's it.
…Why is it like this?

Why is that woman giving His Highness a gentle face?
Why do I have to be looked at by His Highness like that?

I don't know how long I've been trapped in this room.
After I met that woman for the last time, I was taken to the royal castle and put in a private room by myself as if I were a sinner and questioned.

I didn't say anything, but maybe the twins said something. Cyril Vassal, the milk brother of His Highness, came after me and accurately spoke one after another about the rumors I had spread and the people I had conveyed to.
…Even though the twins are also from a declining Earl family. I won't just let you down by betraying something that you've given special attention to.

And then, a few days later, an oni-sama that I had never seen before came to pick me up and locked me in this room of the mansion.
On top of that, they even put a watch on it...
