Chapter 20-21: It was not Something to be Procrastinated

As I saw it in front of my eyes, I could not leave it aside.

He was my, and all of the ladies’ first love. 

Many ladies indulged in their delusions, dreaming of becoming His Highness Claude’s fiance.

Everyone was able to endure and did their best up until now with the strict, difficult study and education without breaking their hearts with the possibility of becoming His Highness Claude’s fiance as their motivation.

Despite those, that lady called Risha-sama spoke ill of His Highness.

I could not help but feel frustrated.

Although my family status, a Marquis Family, was below Risha-sama’s, as my grandfather was the King, there was royalty blood inside my vein.

In order to thicken the blood, one was supposed to marry another person with no blood relation regularly, and I understood it. If this period was when the future King was not supposed to marry from an outsider, there was nothing wrong if I was the one to be His Highness Claude’s fiance.

Risha said it herself that she would like to solve it by her own hands.

That same Risha said so.

Not long ago, she was just a little child, and I thought that she was still a child. Indeed, a child grows fast. My current age was fully elevated.

As I was still worried and took a peek from the shadow, although she was being ignored, she still greeted the ladies who were raised as aristocrats and not the commoners, so I still did not need to make any move.

However, it was true that Risha did her best all by herself, so I would soon do something with Nina’s case.

I knew that this was not something that I could put off forever, but I was unconsciously spoiled by Nina who worked devotedly.

And it was also because she was one of few who I trusted as she would never betray me.

* Chapter 21: Colored Glasses

As a result, I was presently in front of the current king who sat on the throne, resting his chin on his hand.

In the surroundings, there were quite a number of aristocrats remained as spectators. Their eyes and ears were going to be the best living proof. 

“My son, Claude, is that true?”

And then, the current king of this country, Gradeas, Lord del von Heines, fixed his gaze on me, not like the gaze from a father to a son, but rather from a higher-up to his vassal.

To put it simply, it was very scary.

It was like all the words that I was trying to hold by myself were going to leak out any moment just by that gaze.

“Yes, there is no doubt. This person here, the prime minister Alvin Heim, was planning on the assassination of your Majesty the current king of Gradeas, Lord del von Heines—-”

“That’s a lie! That was just a fabrication made by His Highness Claude! As the right-hand man of Your Majesty Lord del, I would never do such a thing! Even just imagining it scared me! I have been serving the country as Your Majesty Lord del’s right-hand man for thirty years and working for the people with all of my sweat and mind! There was no way I was planning for Your Majesty’s assassination! Please judge it without any bias as his parents.”

Then, Alvin cut off my statement in the middle and rushed to move his mouth, and kept talking as the other aristocrats in the surrounding started to murmur.

If the assassination attempt on His Majesty Lord del was truly planned by the current prime minister of Gradias Kingdom, Alvin Heim, it was impossible to stop this scandal as the spectators were starting to get noisy.

“Of course, I will. No bias should be used to judge this problem.”

“Your Majesty Lord del…. You must now do something to this fool son of yours—”

“Of course, you too, Alvin. Your position as a prime minister for this whole thirty years is going to be added to the factors of the judgment.”

Just like he was solidifying the ground, it was ended with a pitiful result, as he fell on the trap that he made himself.

Why did he think that he was going to get the bias for himself while he told His Majesty to not use his colored glasses?

“Then, my son Claude. You just made a big statement in front of this many aristocrats. Of course, you have the evidence for your previous statement, don’t you?”

As he said so, His Majesty Lord del’s gaze towards me was getting more intense than previous. If I said no here, I would be killed only by my own father only by his gaze here.

I somehow survived the tense atmosphere coming from my own father before it swallowed me up, and then opened my mouth.

“Of course, Father. Nina! Please bring that here.”

The moment when I called Nina, I didn’t miss the grin on Alvin’s face when he was hiding it from the surrounding.
