Towards Breaking Off the Engagement, I Will Definitely Remember

「Adrianne, the engagement with you, today, I hereby annul it!」

　This Albarni country's second prince, His Highness Gilbert, faced me, Adrianne von Tarudia , third daughter of the Tarudia earldom. He loudly declared with a seemingly triumphant face as Ravina von Missiori, eldest daughter of the Missiori barony,was by his side waiting on him.

The location was the Royal Palace's dining hall, where a party was being held for Prince Gilbert's own birthday. The majority was nobles from this country, and there were a great number of nobles from outside the country; it happened right in the midst of where they had gathered.

Wearing faces of bewilderment were the nobles of this country, and the ones brimming with curiosity at the opportunity to see something interesting were the visitors from various countries.

The King held his head with the feeling, "that idiot has done it now," and the Queen was rather frightening with a Noh mask expression on her face.

The reason why the King was not making a move was because he was likely thinking that it was already too late, and that if he spoke now the situation would become out of hand, so he would leave it for the end.

「I won't listen to your excuses!　Even if you cling on to me now, it's too late, you're already......」

「I have received your intentions. Then, from henceforth, our engagement is annulled.」

「Eh.........」

Perhaps he thought I would wail and cling onto him, towards I who had replied my acknowledgement immediately, Prince Gilbert stared at me with eyes wide open in astonishment.

「Eh, no, but, you.........」

「Even though you already had a fiancée, without even severing your engagement and having another girl wait on you; I do not have an interest in such a person.

Furthermore, this sort of talk is only to be done in front of one's family. Expressly making an arbitrary declaration in such a place as this as if to make the other party out to be a villain, I can only feel you're acting with ill intentions.

「Perhaps, you believed that by tailoring me to be the shameful villain, you could gloss over your own infidelic actions......」

「Wh, wha.........」

Towards I, who always looked sleepy with half closed eyes and an absentminded look, he must have thought that such a counterattack would never have come. No, even before that, he must have never considered that I would so easily acknowledge the breaking of our engagement. With his plans gone astray, His Highness seemed to be flustered.

Because if it continued like this, they would be the ones who appeared to be the villains. No, well, that was the truth.

「Now then, the reparations for the time spent on Queen training that has now become useless and for the limitations set on interaction with other gentlemen until now, the indemnities for the shame I've received on this occasion that will have a large influence on my marriage proposals from now on, the compensation for the dirt you've smeared on my family name, and for many other matters and instances, on a latter date, I will submit an official request......」

Yes, even though Prince Gilbert was the second prince, he was the Crown Prince. Because I was his fiancée, I received harsh Queen training and was restricted with a ban on social interaction with other gentlemen.

「Wa, wait!　Wait a moment!!」

My, he seems to be very impatient......

「I-it's evident that you falsely accused and harassed Ravina...」
