The Rune Magician Who Lost Everything to Her Older Sister, Becomes Doted On by the Genius Prince – Chapter 14


Chapter 14: Didn’t want to meet

It has been ten days since I arrived at Laurier.

I’ve also become accustomed to my work and my conversations with His Highness have gradually become less tense.

This morning, I am accompanying His Highness on his inspection.

“It’s about time.”

“Yes, we’re heading to the ruins.”

The deciphering of the stone tablet is also going smoothly.

I was eager to show good results to His Highness as soon as possible.

“Don’t overdo it. Make sure to rest when it’s time.”

“Yes, thank you very much.”

With His Highness’s warm words, I head to the ruins alone.

My footsteps are light.

While my workplace used to be a cramped place that I didn’t want to go if I could help it…

Now, I want to start my work as soon as possible, even if it’s just a second earlier.

It’s not because it won’t end or because of any negative reasons.

I just feel like doing my best today.

Things that used to be unpleasant or sad are now forgotten.

“Meiana.”

“――!”

Until I met him…I had forgotten.

That I just recently had my fiancé taken away from me.

I stop in my tracks and turn around.

“Jerick…sama?”

“I finally found you.”

I’m not mistaken.

I can’t forget that face and voice.

He’s the man I’ve talked with the longest and the most.

I can’t keep up with the suddenness of it all and my mind goes blank.

I ask with all my might.

“Why are you here?”

“Of course I was looking for you.”

“For me…?”

Why now? What does he want from me?

I brace myself.

My body naturally leans back.

To me, he says with a smile.

“Hey, Meiana. Wouldn’t you like to engage with me again?”

“…Huh?”

I’m confused by unexpected words.

Engage with him one more time?

What is this guy talking about?

“I heard that you’ve got a position with the Second Prince. You’re working here, right?”

“Yes.”

“It looks like you’re alone. What are you doing?”

“Well…”

The mission I am undertaking is top secret.

The discovery of the ruins and clues to the Demon God have not yet been made public.

Only the royal family and a few people know about it.

Although Jerick-sama is a noble, he is not close to the royal family, so he doesn’t know about it, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to tell him.

“I’m sorry, I can’t tell you.”

“I see. That’s too bad.”

I could tell he was slightly annoyed.

But I am not afraid because His Highness Alectos is behind me.

He wouldn’t have come recklessly and asked about it.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. I’m not very interested in that anyway. What matters is that you have been recognized by the second prince. It’s a joyous occasion! You, who were just Leticia’s baggage, now hold a higher position than her.”

“… “

He speaks loudly.

From his expression and words, I can see his intentions.

Yeah, that’s what it is.

“I also misunderstood you. You do have talent. I regret giving up on you halfway through.”

It’s because I started working under His Highness.

He’s doing this to flip-flop now that I have a useful position.

He is trying to get back my engagement and gain a connection with His Highness.

He intends to use me.

“Let’s restore our engagement. I am satisfied with the current you, and I’m sure Leticia and your parents will be happy too.”

“What are you….”

He’s satisfied.

I’m not happy at all.

He only says things that are convenient for him and doesn’t even consider my feelings.

I don’t even think he expects me to refuse.

I wanted to tell him.

But…

“…”

“I’ll talk to your parents on behalf of you. You don’t have to worry about anything.”

I’m still a member of the Pheles family.

In noble engagements, the relationship between families is more important than individual will.

Even if I say I don’t want it, I can’t go against what the Pheles family decides.

There’s no point in raising my voice here.

I don’t have the power or courage to reject this injustice.

“What a rude man to have a daytime rendezvous so brazenly.”

“――Who…?! Y-Your Highness!”

A hand is placed gently on my shoulder.

The prince smiles kindly.

My heart, which had become cold, is warmed by that smile.
