The Beloved Fiancee Is Likely to Be the Villain

have ever seen, but he was also disgusted by Miss Ulysses.

“But if I take a leave of absence, Lady Elizabeth’s guards…..”(Margaret)

“Miss Aiden will be there.”(Harold)

“Miss Aiden? She will be there?”(Margaret)

“Yes.”(Harold)

“But …… I cannot accept the fact that Aiden would be the only one who would stay with Lady Elizabeth while I rest.”(Margaret)

“I’m sure the Duchess of La Montlivre would not want you to see feel uncomfortable around her.”(Harold)

“……”

“If you don’t feel well, take a break.
You know that, right? If you collapse in front of the target of your escort, you will bring shame on the Earl of Firming.”(Harold)

“I understand.
If I harm Lady Elizabeth’s reputation, she will be ……”(Margaret)

I left the two of them to finish their conversation while being buried in my own thoughts.
Miss Margaret finally nodded her head in approval.

” Your Highness, please make sure you expose the evil doings of the woman …… Ulysses.”(Margaret)

“Yes.
You too, be a good guard.”(Vincent)

The lady nodded her head in a pompous manner, but I could sense the pressure in her words.
“You know what will happen if Lady Elizabeth knows even the slightest bit of the rumours, right? She will feel so devastated.”

Miss Margaret, I have a feeling that you are one of Elizabethan fans, just like me and my parents.

With a graceful bow that showed her strong noble bearing, Miss Margaret left the classroom.
Harold was shaking his head as if to say, “Oh dear.
She is all riled up”.

“My apologies, Your Highness.
I always tell people that the Farming family tends to have deep feelings for the subjects of their escorts, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage for …… escorts.”

“That’s all well and good, but how many guards on earth does Elizabeth have?”

I asked, and Harold kept a straight face and started folding his fingers.

He said, “When Miss Elizabeth became His Highness’ fiancée, she had one bodyguard by the order of His Majesty the King.
One additional guard was added to that guard after His Highness’ love for her was revealed.
After entering the school, another guard was assigned by the order of His Highness.
His Highness has ordered more guards, so we have added two more, Miss Margaret and Miss Aiden, who can handle any attacks of assassins.
Please be assured that they are all women.”

Perhaps the friends who were in the study group with Elizabeth were…

“Half of them are guards.”(Vincent)

I didn’t realize that.
I have only Harold, but Elizabeth is surrounded by five guards.
That’s a relief.
It’s a relief, it’s really a relief.
She won’t be lonely.

Oh, I could hear my heart thrushing inside the my ribcage.
She wasn’t alone but it was me who was alone.

“Are you unhappy?”(Harold)

“No, …… yes, I just thought Elizabeth is loved.”(Vincent)

Especially my father, he loves her more than his own son.

From the looks of Miss Margaret, I am sure that the guards care for Elizabeth more than just an object of their protection.
Surrounded by her friends, Elizabeth was enjoying her school life without me, …… which was a great success in terms of protecting Elizabeth, …….

“Let’s go back to the palace, Your Highness.”

“Yes.
……”

I have Harold.
Harold, like my little brother, a man I’ve known since I was a little boy, a man I’d call a close friend.

I looked up after shaking off the strange feeling of sadness.

Then the white ruffled pillow in Harold’s arms came into view.

“What are you going to do with that?”

“I’m taking it back to …….”

“…… Is Miss Margaret your ……”

“She’s my cousin, and my childhood friend.”

So what?　I couldn’t say anything more as he looked at me with a gaze that was absolutely filled with zero intention of explaining.
