Chapter 7: The End of the Banquet

「What is the meaning of this really!」

After I immodestly, instinctively kiss him, I could not help my cheeks blush and faced down after all.

I do not know what expression Wilhelm-sama was making. But, I think that it had got through for sure how much I have been deeply yearning for Wilhelm-sama. I feel bad that I had lied, but I thought for sure that Wilhelm-sama would not be convinced how much I talked through.

Butーーthe one that destroyed that lingering of mine, was a hysteric voice like that.

「……Rayford, Withdraw, I am sure that I had told you」

「Father! W-Why, are you forgiving Carol’s act of a fool! Even though you have opposed about Mary and me, why did Carol who needs to protect her chast.i.ty, did something like that to Wilhelm!」

「You, do you really understand what you are saying……」

Ha〜, the King His Majesty had left out a deep sigh while looking to the ceiling.

Of course, the hysteric voice’s owner was my ex-fiancé, Rayford-denka desu. It looks like, this Denka seems to not accept that I had expressed my yearning love for Wilhelm-sama since earlier.

Although the first one who threw me away, was Denka.

「No, I cannot accept this, Father! With how Carol had said it, she meant that she had yearned for Wilhelm since she was young! Then, while having a fiance like me, did she not do adultery!」

*Gii*, Rayford-denka glared at me.

But, I wonder why. There was nothing to be scared at all.

「Carol! I am disappointed in you! To think that you had me as your fiance, you were like that towards Wilhelm!」

「I do not understand what is Denka thinking, but it is the truth that I am yearning for Wilhelm-sama. But, I had never shown that to Wilhelm-sama until this day」

It is the truth. Until this day, I had prepared my will to live while having this feeling.

Until Denka had discarded our engagement, I was planning on supporting Denka.

But, Denka had nothing to do with that.

「Hmph! You’re a woman whose excuses are even annoying!」

「Your Majesty」

「Rayfore……you, you were that stupid huh……」

Even though Father had just called His Majesty by his name, His Majesty was looking at Denka with an almost crying expression.

However you thought of it, Denka’s words are only accusations. I wonder why Denka, thought that everyone would be convinced by those words. In addition to that, the curses against me were gradually increasing.

Probably, I was, being hated by Denka even since I was his fiancée.

「Father! Please, punish this woman!」

「Today’s banquet will be closed. The matters with Lady Carol and Wilhelm, it is too hasty. It is not like it is needed to be decided by tonight」

「Father!!」

「Shut up, Rayford! Right now, I am infuriated that I had a son like you from the bottom of my heart!」

To Denka’s continuous calls, His Majesty finally roared strongly.

Probably, he did not think that he was going to be yelled at in that way. *Biku*, Denka trembled to his surprise.

Please do not tell me, he had never been scolded before. If it was like that, His Majesty’s education policy for him would have problems.

「R-Rayford-sama……」

「Mary……I’m sorry」

「I-It’s okay. I, if only I’m on Denka’s side……」

「Mary……」

And Denka and Lady Mary, had created something with they own worlds by themselves. Honestly, I could not bear watching it.

*Ohon*, His Majesty cleared his throat silently.

「Wilhelm」

「……Ha」

「I am, not planning to oppose, your engagement with Lady Carol. But rather, to compensate the selfishness that was done by my son, I would rather recommend your engagement. But, Lady Carol had not meant of making Wilhelm troubled. The final decision, I will leave it to you」

「……」

To His Majesty’s words, Wilhelm-sama was still lowering his head, not moving.

For a little bit, I wonder if I had said too much. The feelings that I had kept inside my heart ever since I was 7 years old had overflowed, and I could not stop even myself.
