The End of the Prince Who Broke His Engagement With Me and Tried To Take My Lovely Sister as His Wif

Chapter 4

“Oz, it looks like the two of them aren’t happy with your appeal.”

“What kind of people could do this to me and try to get away with it?”

Oswald is barking furiously.

Perhaps because of Alex’s authority, he is 20% more dignified than usual.

…meanwhile, Alex is sitting on his throne, letting out a sigh.

Unaware of the situation, Oswald came up to me.

“But rejoice, Leila! Since I am merciful! If you’re willing to be my fiancée again, I’ll drop this matter altogether, including your sister!”

“…what?”

You broke off the engagement yourself, and now you want to get it back?

I thought you were annoyed with me. Didn’t you choose my cute little sister for her appearance?

I wonder what changed his mind.

“All you have to do is be more quite and this whole farce will come to an end.”

Oswald emphasizes the importance of being “more quiet” in a strange way.

…perhaps.

Does it mean that I should stop making unnecessary comments from now on?

And just be charming, just as he wanted.

“No.”

“Huh?!”

“Please have the necessary courtesy and knowledge. You are the one who will be humiliated.”

“Y-you’re still yammering at me after all this!”

“I’m not kidding. I’m just giving you some advice as a childhood friend.”

“―! Brother! Please punish these people severely!”

Oswald turned around, his face as red as a ripe fruit.

Alex nodded his head, hmmm― suddenly, as if he remembered something, he raised his index finger.

“Yeah, Oz. There are other people besides them who are dissatisfied with this complaint.”

“W-who the h**l is it?!”

“It’s me.”

“…eh?”

When Alex pointed to himself, Oswald’s flames of anger suddenly diminished.

“Reason number one. There is no reason for Leila to tell you to break off the engagement. She is a kind-hearted woman who has been worried about you since you were a child, and fears for your future. She’s the only one who hasn’t abandoned you, whose mind remains stuck like a child.”

“Ah… older brother?”

Nonchalantly, Alex continued.

“Reason number two. You, yourself, gave me a reason to break off the engagement. I’ve heard you complain about Leila through the butler and the maid.”

…he’s been complaining about me.

“Reason number three. You said Sophina hit you… the only time she gets violent is when Leila is hurt.”

“N-no! That’s not the case!”

“No, it is.”

Alex affirms for some reason.

I saw him chuckle, and guessed something.

Maybe he’d been hit by Sophina before, too.

When I looked at my sister, she smiled at me as if she knew what I was thinking― and made a gesture of hitting something with her fist.

“It was a story from when we were little. He made fun of my older sister so I beat him lightly.”

“…”

Maybe there are more victims of Sophina than I thought. It’s just that I never learned of it.

“―and well, thinking about it, there are other reasons.”

“…ah.”

Alex then continued to give his reasoning.

By the time he finished, Oswald was puckering his mouth like a goldfish seeking oxygen.

“Any objections?”

“Ah, uh―”

“Oz. It seems that you are not conscious enough to be a member of the royal family. This incident has made me keenly aware of that.”

Alex said while pressing down his eyes.

He then turned the matter over to Oswald.

“Well, if you’re no longer Leila’s fiancé, you don’t have to hold back anymore. Outside of the country―”

“Please wait.”

Alex’s voice was interrupted by my sister

“It’s dangerous to let Oswald-sama leave the country. Even though he has the blood of a king, he is stupid, thoughtless, and sloppy with women, so he can easily be tricked. And the damage will fall on our country.”

“W-what the h**l did you say?!”

Oswald, who had lost his momentum, became angry again.

Ignoring him, Sophina took another step to close her distance to Alex.

“I understand what you’re saying, Sophina. So what do you want me to do?”

“I have a better idea. I have an excellent plan that will punish me for my violent behavior and re-educate Oswald-sama in just one simple step.”

“What is it? What’s your plan?”

…no way, Sophina?

“It’s easy. All I have to do is get engaged to Oswald-sama.” (E/N: …what?) (T/N: Hahaha)
