Vol. 3 - Chapter 151 - Katariona Confronts her Former Executioner (Part 2)
In a few words, I explained to Sir Will that the Crown Prince had become obsessed due to Charlotte's skills.
"I see. Charlotte-sama had the skill of enchantment?"
"Sir Will doesn't seem to be affected by Charlotte-sama's skills, huh?"
Elder brother questioned Sir Will.
Speaking of which, I wonder if Sir Will is okay?
Since he is always following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he must be spending a lot of time with Charlotte.
I secretly appraised Sir Will.
[Magic attribute: physical enhancement magic, special skill: automatic cancellation of abnormalities].
Sir Will has a special skill. "Automatic Cancellation of Abnormalities"? I have never heard of this skill.
Perhaps, as the name implies, it can remove all kinds of abnormalities.
"I have a special skill, so charms don't work on me. Siegfried-sama also seems to be immune to Charlotte-sama's skill."
'Well, something like that.'
Elder brother laughed, trying to fake it.
In fact, it's thanks to the blood of the Kirijuin family that flows through us,.......
"The day the school badge was handed out to all students at the academy, His Highness behaved strangely."
That day, when Charlotte visited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his classroom as usual, he said, "Charlotte-sama, what can I do for you? Is there something you wanted to see me about?" So, Charlotte suspected something was amiss.
Charlotte seemed to have guessed something and dragged His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the usual gazebo.
Then she intentionally dropped her own school badge in the pond on the way and asked for the Crown Prince's badge.
Sir Will hurried after them and witnessed the whole thing.
"After His Highness removed the school badge, he began to call Charlotte-sama by her nickname again."
Charlotte realized that the school badge was the same magical device as Therese's pendant and the Crown Prince's tie pin.
"Sir Will. Does Charlotte wear the pendant? It has a white pendant top with a shell-like sheen. ......"
"A pendant? No. I have never seen it."
Is she wearing it under her uniform or keeping it in a bag in her pocket?
"Will or whoever you are, if you see that pendant, snatch it away from her."
Ron-sama threatened Sir Will in a commanding tone.
"Eh-!?"
"Ron, don't be absurd. You're troubling the knight."
"But, Sylphy," he continued, "that was yours to begin with."
Sylphy-sama rebuked Ron-sama's recklessness.
"I don't understand, but the pendant that Charlotte-sama is holding was stolen, right? I understand. I will try."
Exhaling heavily, Sir Will agreed.
"Um,........ Sir Will. You don't have to do this."
"No. Stealing from people is a crime!"
Wow. This man is a hot-blooded knight.
"I heard that the Crown Prince asked to give her an "entrée" at the royal ball. Beatrice was furious."
Mother interrupted as if she was remembering.
An "entrée" is a privilege that grants priority entry.
It was originally granted to foreign ambassadors, ministers and their spouses, and royal family members, but why Charlotte?
"I suppose it's because Charlotte will be the Crown Prince's fiancée."
My uncle replied, revealing a shocking fact.
"Uncle. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Charlotte will be engaged? Has it been officially decided?"
''Mm-hmm. I admonished him this time because he tried to skip the procedure again, but I said that if it was the king's order, I would have no complaints. But, it has not been officially decided because His Majesty the King has not yet given his approval."
Without further elaboration, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had skipped the royal approach and obtained Baron Campbell's approval, tried to persuade his parents, but the King and Queen were reluctant to do so.
"Bother was ranting and raving about how it was the royal family's duty to marry a daughter with "light magic" and other incomprehensible things, so my father and mother were furious with him,' Chris said.
Chris was so disgusted that she criticized the crown prince.
"The next time he attempts to pervert the laws of the country, his father and mother will have him disinherited, right. He's getting himself into serious trouble. Your Royal Highness. Why don't you make preparations to be crowned Crown Princess?"
"I'll think about it."
My uncle jokingly teased Chris, but it didn't sound like a joke.
It seems that Sir Will has temporarily left his guard duty on a pretext, so he has to return to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
After he left the townhouse, Leon and Brother were sneaking around talking about something.
"Sieg. Was that all right?"
"We don't have to tell him everything. Because I don't trust him completely."
That's right. We didn't reveal everything to Sir Will.
We had agreed in advance not to reveal anything to him except what had happened before the time return and Charlotte's skills.
In other words, the real work is yet to come.
"I will nullify Charlotte's magic. We have only one chance. Failure is not an option."
May, the god of creation, finally made her decision.
"Are you going to do it at the Royal Ball? What are your chances?"
May stared at Leon, who questioned the odds.
"You, my sister, and I are the gods of creation. We have all three of the three pillars. We have more than enough to do our share."
"Are you treating me as an afterthought?"
Mei ignored Leon who had a blue streak on his forehead and turned her head away.
"Eeto. We need to get Charlotte alone first, but I'm sure she'll be all over His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right?"
I intervened between the two of them to mend the situation.
"Why don't we lure them both out together? If we quickly nullify Charlotte's magic while we have the Crown Prince under control, there should be no problem."
It was a very typical strategy coming from Tojurou-san.
"Do you really think it will work out that well? Hikoshiro is still a simpleton, as usual."
"What!?"
Tojurou-san glared at Kikuno-sama. But Kikuno-sama did not care.
One after another, people keep disagreeing.
"Leave the ballroom to us."
My parents and uncle decided to be observers.
"If it doesn't work out, we'll come up with some different plans."
In the end, the three of us, my brother and Chris, ended up having to come up with a strategy.
We would tell everyone later.
