I Have Been Called The Idiot Son Behind My Back. But I Remembered Memories, And I Can Use The Abilities I Had In My Past Life. So I Will Make Use of Major Online Stores Like Am**on And Aim for a Slow Life for Now - 5

I decided to confront them with the harsh reality.

“I see. If that’s what you both want, then go ahead.”

“…What? You’re surprisingly compliant. That’s not like you.”

“It’s unseemly to interfere with two people in love. I can be considerate at least to that extent.”

Seeing me say this, they visibly relaxed. Observing this, I couldn’t help but worry about their ability to navigate life as nobles if they could only think on such a simplistic level.

“Hmph, glad you understand.”

“Wait a minute. We’re not done here.”

Prevot, thinking the conversation was over, started to leave. I called him back.

“Huh? What now? There’s nothing left to discuss.”

“Since the engagement is broken, you’ll be returning the funds my family loaned to Olivia’s family on the condition of our engagement, right? It’s only about 3,000 gold coins, not a huge sum. Still, since you broke the agreement, you’ll have to return it, or we’ll have to sue Olivia’s family for fraud.”

“Wha… What…? No way…”

“I always thought you were trash, but I didn’t know you were this low!”

Honestly, they were the trash here. I knew they couldn’t possibly come up with 3,000 gold coins to repay, so they’d resort to emotional arguments, unable to agree or disagree straightforwardly.

Engaging in such a pointless argument was a waste of time.

I could only hope Olivia’s parents understood the gravity of the situation.

After school, Olivia’s father came to my house and knelt before me and my father.

It was only natural.

Olivia’s father likely understood that money can be more crucial than life at times.

Given that they couldn’t repay the 3,000 gold coins they essentially swindled, groveling was a small price to pay.

At least he wasn’t as bad as his daughter, making him somewhat bearable.

“This engagement cancellation between your son and my daughter came as a complete shock to me… How do you explain it?”

“Well, it was news to us as well… It seems someone took my seal without permission and submitted the annulment to the Imperial Court… So, we can nullify it! We’ll immediately file to invalidate both this engagement cancellation and the new engagement with another man!”
