oneshot (2/2)

「You receive dance lessons, yes? Bailleul-sensei is a very strict teacher, if someone were late, there would be extreme consequences and such… That day as well, when classes ended you immediately rushed home, did you not?」

「「「Eh……」」」

「As for myself, when classes were done I chatted for a moment with Aria-sama and Rosine-sama, afterwards I headed home with Sandra-sama and her companions, and after that I studied at my manor with Percy-sensei, as dispatched from the Royal Palace, for the remainder of the time」

I left aside the people ere dumbfounded and continued my words

「Do you understand, for a Viscount’s person to try and ensnare an Earl’s person with false perjury, what consequences you are going to incur upon yourself……

Please do not think that it will end with just you Because this would be a malicious attack by the Barbiér Viscounty towards our Tarudia Earldo would also bestow a suitable punishe would fall to a Barony, in the worst case they would strip you of everything and crush you, or execution perhaps…

Also, are you aware? The Viscount who is the husband of your second eldest sister, the largest patron of his wheat trading business, is the from the house of the fiancée of my elder brother……」

Katia-jou was already pallid, and looked ready to fall over at any moment

「Now, do continue」

Urging her withvoice

「……The moment I saw Ravina-sama at the top of the stairs, I remembered I had dance lessons, and in a rush I returned home……」

Finally finished speaking, Katia-jou hurridely disappeared into the crowd of guests

「Now then, Duke’s daughter Agathe von Verré, Baron’s daughter Lumia von Soliér, just what and when did you witness the event?

Agathe-san whose eldest brother has just entered into the Chivalric Order’s Third Division, Lue of investing has beco their financial affairs to become strained, stake your lives and think carefully before you answer」

「I, I don’t know a single thing! I only came out because Gilbert-denka nominated and called me forth!」

「Th, the saoes for me as well! If you do not have business with ratefully withdraw!」

Crying out so, the two promptly disappeared into the mass of spectators

And, Gilbert-denka was in blank amazement

「A, Adrianne, that face is……」

Oh, so you’re asking about that, I see

「Wh, Why do you reo!? And irl’s elder sister!? You’ve plotted this fro, didn’t you!? This was a trap, wasn’t it!?」

「For what reason would I go through such lengths to trap you? Doing soless would be a waste of time, wouldn’t it?」

「Wa, waste of time……」

The dumbfounded Ravina-jou

And, the yelling Gilbert-denka

「Then, why do you reo with such accuracy!? And, why are you eyes properly opened!? What is with that sharp and self-assured face!!?」

Eh…… It can’t be that His Highness doesn’t know about it? There’s no way, right?

「It isn’t as if I go aroundcontact with others, so it’s natural for the lower ranked nobles and the cohness not knowing……

Urandmother is an advisor in the royal palace, yes?」

「Ahh, I’ve heard that she’s always in attendance at every , and would be asked for opinions frorandement between you and I was established」

「Yes And that grandmother was the Earl’s… No, in actuality before she married into the Tarudia house, she was froe, that is, the reason why even though she was a woman from a house of a low ranked noble but was still able to achieve that sort of standing, was because randmother had an ability of『Absolute Memory』」

「Absolute Memory?」

To Gilbert-denka’s query, I continued speaking

「Yes,『Absolute Memory』 An ability where the when the person has seen or heard sorandmother’s head is the history of this country, the complete roster of the s and what kind of stateulations of the kingdo is within her memory」

「Yo, you aren’t saying……」

I smiled sweetly

「Yes, I’ve also inherited it The ability of『Absolute Memory』…

Because the King wanted to take me into the royal fa down this power to his descendants, the King sought for a e between the Prince and I

However the first prince found a woether with for the rest of his life, but even so there would be a probleht of succession to the throne, so without a choice they nominated the second prince as the crown prince, and then I would become his official queen

However, now that our engageed, so I dare say that the position of crown prince will return to being the first prince……」

「Wha………」

Gilbert-denka was speechless at my words

I was sure that he had already known about this obvious h……

「Th, then, that face is……」

「Aah, there isn’t really a bigable to re I’ve seen or heard can be pretty difficult So as I wouldn’t have to re unnecessary as nored listening to s, and went about absentmindedly……」

「Wh, wha…… I cancel the cancellation of this engagement! I was only deceived by this woement!」

「No, as long as you have personally declared the revocation, and in the case that I have accepted that outcoement has become void Afterwards, there is only the need to advance the for the case had it been declared in front of family mee crowd, you can’t act as if this situation never happened……」

「Then, if we get engaged again! If it’s that then there’s no problem, is there!?」

「No, that I cannot do」

「Why!?」

「Because I absolutely don’t want to」

「Eh………」

If the Crown Prince wished for it, there was no woman who could not be swayed

See to have believed that, Gilbert-denka wore a face of disbelief

Well, Crown Prince, that was confined to the time when he was my fiancé, most likelyhe would only be『Second Prince』from now on, and after that he would become just『Royal Prince』 4

「A person who betrays once ain If I had to marry such a person as that, then from when I was three years old, just past noon on the twelfth day of the second month, the person who licked my wound to comfort me when I had fallen and cried because I skinnedof the twenty-first day of the fifth month, the person who kissed my forehead, I’d much rather marry them………」

While I was re those people

「Besides, isn’t your Highness getting married to Ravina-jou? From the last time she attended a Military Arts class and has since been resting, two months have already passed…」5

「Wha, what? Three days ago hen I first……」

「Eh? Ah, that is, forget what you heard just now……」

「As if I could do that～～!!」

Ravina-jou changed into a deathly pale face and sunk into silence

I’ve said so bad……

And towards Gilbert-denka as in shock, I sent off some last words

「Not being able to forget, that is to say, not just good er and unhappiness, and the『feeling of being betrayed』

I will never, from the bottom of hness That is because I『possess Absolute Memory』……」
