Abandoned talented woman decides to live a leisurely life with her family

Translator : Asura-friendly-devil

“By the way, my engagement with Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince was arranged by Her Majesty Queen Alexandra of this country when I turned ten years old. Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trying to overturn Her Majesty the Queen’s decision on his own? Or does it mean that Her Majesty the Queen also knows?

──No, I don’t think so.

In that case, the engagement should have been canceled by order from Her Majesty the Queen. Or perhaps His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will speak on his behalf in front of Her Majesty the Queen.

And if it was my fault, I would be blamed and the deal would be broken. If that’s not the case, and it’s not my fault but a problem within the royal family, it would be normal for my family to be offered a large amount of money as an apology. Moreover, as a result of premarital sex, he impregnated another woman.

Her Majesty the Queen is currently in a remote area of the country with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a national festival. Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness have all gone out as priests to offer prayers to the gods for this year’s bountiful harvest.

Therefore, there was no way there would be any talk of canceling the engagement at that timing. Originally, Her Majesty the Queen, who is supposed to decide important matters in this country, is not present.

Her Majesty the Queen is very beautiful. However, she is also very harsh. She is even known as the “Red Queen” because of her personality, which is why she doesn’t mind purging the blood within her own family. And she has the courage to accept it.

Her orders are absolute. And if anyone tries to overturn that, she will condemn them without hesitation, even within her own family. Even the fact that I’m on the throne now is because of my brother’s blood. His decadent and extravagant life eventually ruined the country, and they decided that he was unworthy of being king. Together with the nobles who supported him, they staged a coup d’état, had him abdicated, and put him in a prison atop a high steel tower. After imprisoning him forever, he was condemned and purged.

By the way, the aristocrats who took advantage of my brother’s lack of interest in politics by taxing them at higher rates than the nationally set tax rate and earning money were all sent to the guillotine.

Although she was feared as the “Red Queen,” Her Majesty was also a very capable person. That’s why she is allowed to reign despite her family’s blood feud.

Yes, it is a terrible thing to go against Her Majesty the Queen.

So I was very confused.

“Your Highness. May I assume that Her Majesty the Queen also approves of your order?”

I decided to try to find out what the other person was doing, even though I had a vague feeling that it was probably not the case.

After taking a deep breath, I managed to calm down the confusion in my head and asked the question.

“Haha… no, I will report to Her Majesty the Queen when I return home, also serving as an introduction to Sarasa. Even my mother is truly happy that the blood of a rare saint will be mixed in with my royal family. I’m sure you will! Moreover, the heir to our kingdom is already living in the body of a rare saint!”

──Huh? Consent after the fact? And the marriage is done? To that queen? What, you idiot──!?

Even though you’re my son, don’t you know how terrifying your mother, Her Majesty the Queen, is?

Even I can imagine how it all turned out!

Even though I was in front of other people, I couldn’t stop my mouth from falling open at the unexpected response — or maybe it was just as I had expected.

What he held close to his side was a dependable and lovely girl with brown hair, Sarasa Kagami. Her abdomen hasn’t swelled enough to tell that she’s pregnant yet.

However, although he shows a fleeting expression to those around him, when his eyes meet mine, he flashes a belligerent, triumphant smile.

Maybe he feels superior because he was able to steal my fiancée.

She is said to have come to this country as an invited person – in other words, as someone transferred from another world. It was just what the world called, and it wasn’t called intentionally using summoning techniques or anything like that. However, due to its rarity, it is customary for her to be revered as a saint or saint, making her a celebrity in this country.

The reason why it is so important is that people transferred from other worlds are often given special powers from gods when they travel between worlds.

In Sarasa’s case, she is said to be able to use light magic that heals people, which ordinary people cannot master.

I knew that she was close to His Highness the Crown Prince. However, she thought that it was because she still did not understand the common sense of this world.

I did warn Sarasa about this, but I don’t remember her ever criticizing her.

“Um, right now, Her Majesty the Queen is not in the country. Still, is it okay to understand that this is a matter of decision?”

I tried to defuse the situation.

No, I don’t want to keep this a secret until Her Majesty returns. It’s obvious that running away is a better option than facing the fire. I want to escape somehow.

And as much as possible, I wanted to make it clear in front of this large group of people that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the one who made the decision to cancel this engagement.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince were to say, “It’s a decision,” right now, all responsibility would be his. The ones who will receive scolding from the harsh Queen will be Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Sarasa, and their entourage.

──Now, I have to make it clear that I am not at fault here.

If we don’t do that, the consequences could extend to me, my father, my mother, and my cute twin brothers and sisters.

Feeling the sweat running down my back, I wait anxiously for His Highness the Crown Prince to open his mouth.

“Ah, it’s a decision. Now that Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness are gone, the country’s decisions are left to me. My queen will be Sarasa, and my heir will be Sarasa’s son. I am banishing you from this country for pushing Sarasa, who is pregnant with my child, down the stairs. You should leave this country as soon as possible.”

──Okay, I took my word for it.

If anything happens, I’ll let him take all the responsibility.”
