2: One Day, It’ll Become a Trump Card

 By Antoinette Vanessa September 17, 2022

“I’m truly sorry, Daisy, but Lula is my true love. I can’t marry anyone else but her.”

After recovering bt the miraculous power of the saint, Lula, Freddie didn’t waste any time to court her.

In less than a month, he had the king approve of the annulment our engagement, before getting engaged to Lula.

That day, I was summoned to the royal palace precisely to be notified of that—moreover, by Prince Freddie himself.

“Lord Fre—I mean, Your Highness. I’ve heard about the annulment. I have no objections.”

I didn’t have any objections.

In the first place, it wasn’t like I had any power to reject it.

…I’m sorry for being a little self-deprecating.

“I see. Thank you.”

As if he had been relieved of a great burden, Prince Freddie smiled.

…What a cruel person.

The smile on Prince Freddie’s face marked the end of our engagement.

“Lady Daisy.”

Upon leaving Prince Freddie’s office, I wandered towards the exit of the royal palace, somewhat absent-minded.

In such a state, Prince Jake called out to me.

“…Your Highness Jake.”

“If you have time, would you like to have a stroll with me in the garden?”

During the time I was still engaged with Prince Freddie, Prince Jake had become like a younger brother to me. Not only was he two years younger than me, he was also a cheerful person.

I nodded at his suggestion.

After all, I had to say my final goodbye.

Thus, Prince Jake escorted me to a special garden that was exclusive to the royal family. As that place was usually well secured and prohibited to others, his escorts didn’t follow us. Instead, they merely watched us from a distance. I doubted that they could hear us.

“…It seems that my brother was blinded by the saint’s miracle and went mad.”

“…Your Highness Jake, don’t say something like that—”

“—In front of my father and mother, His and Her Majesty, he made a speech about true love with a straight face.”

“That’s…”

“If the other party were merely a viscount’s daughter, my parents wouldn’t have allowed it. However, she’s the saint.”

Prince Jake seemed truly frustrated.

Surely, he’s taking my feelings into consideration…

“…In the end, both father and mother were left with no choice but to approve of their engagement.”

“…I agree that it is the best decision for the sake of this kingdom.”

The saint was an iconic figure.

For someone to awaken to the power of the saint—no one could have predicted it.

We had to protect that irreplaceable existence, even at the expense of our kingdom.

Hence, to make her the fiancée of the first prince was surely for the best.

“I don’t know about that. Just because she’s the saint, it doesn’t mean she’s a suitable queen candidate. Truly, what a shame. I understand that miracles are a once in a lifetime experience, but for him to lose sight of what’s important…”

When he turned towards me, Prince Jake’s eyes were red, as if he were about to cry.

“What are you going to do from now on, Daisy?”

“…I, I’m sure my father has some ideas…”

Even though I said that, my father was the one who told me to accept the annulment.

“While this may sound cruel, if you don’t do anything, you’ll be left with two options.”

“…Two?”

“Either marry into a foreign country where my brother’s influence can’t reach, or become his concubine.”

“…But surely, His Highness Freddie only has eyes for Lady Lula.”

Somewhere within my heart, I was aware of that possibility. However, when I was confronted with the future of being a concubine, I was shaken. After all, I had been desperately trying to dismiss such a thought.

Knowing that Prince Freddie would devote himself to Lula, I’d surely be a concubine in name only, left to perform official duties…

“For the time being, yes. But this kingdom can’t run without you.”

“You’re exaggerating.”

“After all, even if Lady Lula is given an intensive education, she won’t be able to handle the official duties of the queen.”

“…”

“Even if he has just dissolved his engagement with you, my brother has seen your value. Regardless of what you intend to do, he’ll surely aim to make you his concubine.”

I couldn’t even argue back.

Never once doubting his sense of what was just, Prince Freddie would go to great lengths to achieve what he thought was right.

…I knew that part of him well because I had been supporting him from behind until now.

“Your life belongs to you. However, if you wish to be his concubine and support him despite his betrayal, then that’s fine, too.”

“Your Highness Jake…”

“But if you wish to escape from him, then…”

Amidst the garden surrounded by greenery, Prince Jake quietly handed me something.

Surely, not even the escorts saw it.

***T/N: Lol the nerve… “yeah go run this kingdom in her stead so we can enjoy lovey dovey time 100% bye bich”
