"Yulius-sama and His Highness seems to be in a forbidden relationship."

That was the rumour that had been circulated recently.

It seemed that somebody heard my brother screaming during that napping incident.

Currently, everyone in the aristocratic division was divided between those who bad mouthing me, saying how discourteous I was towards His Highness and those who viewed us as a matching couple.

It was troublesome to be told that we suited each other well.

As for those in the commoner division, all of them radiated with supportive aura.

Just give me a break, please.

"This is all Onii-sama's fault."

"It was all due to the Prince."

"....... I am sorry."

The three of us chatted while sitting beneath the customary tree shade as we observed my Fiance-sama and Banache-san flirting with each other.

This was the daily routine between the three of us since we angered my brother that one time.

"Even so, this rumour sure hurts."

My brother muttered while stroking my head.

His Highness looked at him with a surprised expression.

"It is because it was really breaching the etiquette for the Prince and Yulias to be sleeping in each other arm."

"Roland, I also do not know how that come to be, so I would like for you to forgive me for that."

"With that, could it be that you do not realize the problem on our hands now?"

Arm pillow?

This is the first time I heard that?

My brother stroked my head wildly while I was in a daze that my hair ended up getting messed up by his action.

"With this, the other party might be able to use this rumour as their shield."

Towards the muttering Prince, my brother continued to stroke my head as he said that.

"What did you need to be so afraid of?"

" "Yulias?" "

My brother and His Highness are truly the best of friends.

"They do not even have any evidence on it, do they?"

" "Evidence?" "

Truly a pair, these two people.

"As for our situation, it was merely a rumour; as for them, in our hand, we have a solid evidence of his affair with Banache-san, therefore, should it not be obvious who is the one who has more credibility over the other? ..... Do you get that?"

" "Ah!" "

I would like for them to forgive me for laughing at their sync-like response.

"Even though it was just a rumour, I think that this much is fine. It will be more advantageous for me if the other party thought that they could overthrow me with only this."

I was giggling while His Highness looked at me as if he was watching someone so horrifying.

"It is truly great that I am not Yulias' enemy."

I somehow could hear His Highness muttering to himself.

When I went to the cafeteria, I was summoned to meet a lady from a Marquis house by one of her entourage. This lady's family was from a different house from my fiancé-sama.
