“…I see, that’s alright. Just don’t go forgetting your position.”
“I’ll be fine. I’m merely guiding her as a senior.”
“…Then, it’s okay. I will head out first.”
Saying that, I left the place. Luria, who had a moody expression, asked me from behind.
“What on earth is he thinking?”
“His Highness is kind to everyone, it can’t be helped.”
“Are you sure about this?”
“It’s fine.”
I said so and smiled at Luria.
After all, I had no intention of sabotaging their relationship.
If I did that, I’d become his fiancée once again.
Therefore, that would be pointless.
When I left His Highness, I recalled seeing the appalled expression of Baroness Abazn.
If I told her to stay away from His Highness, she’d probably cry again.
I feel sorry for you.
Stringing me along was no longer possible.
On the contrary, I shall string you along.
I looked back and stared at the back of Baroness Abazn with dark emotions.

That day was sword training.
By the way, the reason why those who’d become queen in the future train their swordsmanship was that they had to swing their swords and fight when a war occurred, not for self-defense.
It was said that it was because the queen also fought when the Rolaud Kingdom and the Neonheart Kingdom were in a fierce war.
Well, now that they had made peace, there was no longer any need for that.
However, it was still a remnant of the past, and was still incorporated within the princess education.
“Then, are you sure?”
It was Minerva, the adopted daughter of the former Count Kayes, who taught me swordsmanship.
Without looking at Minerva’s pattern, I followed her.
After all, I had been practicing swordsmanship since I was a kid. I could do it without having to look at the instructions.
I also didn’t want to see Minerva’s face.
That knight hit me at the graduation party and then threw me into prison.
Moreover, I was whipped by Minerva every day until the day of my execution.
…I was used as an outlet for her stress relief.
Besides, I was sure that this time around, too, her brother-in-law would be drowning to that whore-like Baroness.
However, the person that was going to be her stress reliever wouldn’t appear again.
Thinking so, I smiled, and Minerva suddenly called out to me.
