Chapter 2: Prologue

Welp, I’m in a Shoujo mood today lol

-Mr.Graverobber

“Lady Olivia Atoir. Despite being engaged to the Crown Prince, you have disregarded your necessary education as the Crown Princess of our nation. That is your sin. That’s why the engagement between Olivia and His Highness the Crown Prince is now considered canceled. Henceforth, my well-educated daughter, Tiana Lemone will replace you as Fiancee to Prince Alan.”

When she was suddenly summoned to the royal castle, Olivia was utterly stunned by the words of Minister Lemone and the triumphant expression on Crown Prince Alan who’s standing next to him.

Besides Alan, Tiana, the minister’s beloved daughter stands in a weeping manner with her hand on the prince’s arm. Tiana is a petite and pretty lady with light brown hair, an appearance that arouses a desire to protect from others. However, even as a form of flattery, calling her [Well-Educated] is quite far-fetched. After all, as far as Olivia is concerned, Tiana is an [Dumb].

Tiana is 17 years old, the same age as Olivia but she has been constantly harassing Olivia, who was the fiancee of the Crown Prince from an early age. She treated her like an enemy. However, the harassment from her was, to be honest, lousy. To say it frankly, Olivia is rather astounded each time Tiana attempts something.

‘Falling herself when she tried to push me into the fountain, faceplanting when she tried to leap at me, getting the prince soaked in wine when she tried to sprinkle it on my dress……., This is bad, I think I’m gonna burst out laughing just thinking about it.’

As expected, it would be bad to start laughing here. After all, Olivia is currently being denounced.

‘Rather, Prince Alan is even more of an idiot than I thought huh.’

Olivia’s so-called “Sin”——-was that she neglected the necessary education as someone who was engaged to the Crown Prince. Indeed, Olivia [did not receive] the lessons required as the Crown Princess and [pretended] to be ignorant of the education necessary as a noble lady. However, there’s a reason behind this. It was none other than Prince Alan himself who commanded her so.

But there’s one thing that needs to be stated first. Olivia is a genius. Since she was young, she’s been a bookworm. There has been nothing she likes more than learning new things. Her vast knowledge is immeasurable and she was even rumored to be a rare talented child when she was only 6 years old.

The reason she was chosen as the Crown Prince’s fiancee——no, he was only still a Prince at the time——was not only her status but her brain as well.

And despite that—–

‘People would think that I’m a fool when I’m next to you so just pretend to be an idiot from now on. Don’t you go learn anything new now——wasn’t it Prince Alan who told me to do that himself.’

Olivia was disappointed with Prince Alan when he said that to her less than a year after their engagement but Olivia decided to follow his [Suggestion]. After all, most of the Crown Princess Education that needed to be learned was already instilled inside her head. Rather than wasting time learning something she already knows, she would rather spend her time reading some new books.

Olivia glanced at the King who had been silently observing the situation and her father, the Prime Minister who’s standing beside him next to the throne. Her father appeared to have suppressed it from showing on his face but it seems that he felt insulted seeing his daughter being ridiculed like this. On the other hand, she doesn’t know what the King is thinking since he has been grinning at this whole affair for a while now.

‘……if His Majesty doesn’t intend to stop this then, he must be planning something.’

How did such an idiot of a prince born from that kind of father? The fact that the King is a smart and capable man is something Olivia already knows.

“Olivia, do you have anything to say? Or are you too dumb to understand what is happening to you right now?”

Alan asks her with a grin. Did this idiot seriously forget what he told Olivia to do when they were engaged?

Certainly, being a woman who got thrown away by the Crown Prince is a disgrace but if it means not having to spend her entire life with him, this might be a good fortune in disguise. After all, Olivia doesn’t want to be a queen.

She pondered to herself for a moment about what would be the most shocking thing for the prince to hear right now. Payback of this level should be allowed for her.

‘Right…..’

Olivia pinched the hem of her scarlet dress and bowed deeply at the prince. She then looked at Alan with the smile she had never shown him before. Seeing that smile which looked like a rose in full bloom, Alan’s eyes opened wide and he forgot to breathe for a moment.

“On this occasion, allow me to congratulate you on your engagement, Your Highness.”

“Wha—”

Alan was astonished. Apparently, he expected her to be clinging to him in tears.

When he understood what’s going on, Alan’s face turned from stunned to bright red. Perhaps it’s a given. Olivia’s words were more than enough to hurt Alan’s pride. He was given a blessing from the woman who up until a few minutes ago was his fiancee. She was some he [Threw Away]. There is also that big smile of hers. Even though she was abandoned, there was no regret to be seen on her face. If there’s a man whose pride won’t get hurt by this then she’d like to see one.

“Olivia, you—–”

“Your Highness. I am no longer Your Highness’s fiancee so please refer me using Atoir, my family name.”

Alan’s face was dyed even redder.

It was when Alan who’s trembling with anger tried to shout something at her that—

“I apologize for my belatedness.”

Suddenly, a voice from a third party echoed from behind Olivia and she turned around.

‘……Prince Cyrus?’

Olivia’s eyes went round by the appearance of the Second Prince Cyrus who is walking toward her with a smile.

Cyrus stopped next to Olivia and looked up at the King who’s sitting on the throne. In his hand, there’s a bouquet of bright red roses.

“CYRUS! I DIDN’T CALL YOU HERE!”

Alan shouted but Cyrus continued with a gentle smile.

“Father, Do I have your permission?”

“You do.”

The King, who had been silent until then, opened his mouth for the first time. When she wondered what he needed the King’s permission for, Cyrus suddenly knelt down in front of Olivia.

When the rose bouquet was presented to her, Olivia’s head turned pure white.

“Lady Olivia Atoir. Will you marry me?”

“……Eh?”

“Don’t f*** with me!”

Alan’s wrathful voice reached the stunned Olivia’s ears.

“OLIVIA IS MY FIANCEE! WHY YOU, MY OWN BROTHE—-”

“Oh, Aniue, did you not break off your engagement with Lady Olivia just now?”

Cyrus replied with a smile and Alan was bitterly silenced.

The King, who was watching over the situation happily, smiled at Olivia who still couldn’t understand the situation.

“Olivia, I am sorry that we called you here all of a sudden but that’s how it is. In place of Alan, will you consider re-engaging with Cyrus instead?”

Realizing what the King was planning, Olivia raised her face in a snap.

‘I see, he planned for this to happen from the beginning…..’

She couldn’t read the King’s intention at first but it was clear to her that he could have put an end to this farce from the beginning if he wishes so.

Receiving the bouquet from Cyrus, Olivia smiled back at him.

“Before I give my response, can we [Talk] a little? Your Highness.”
