It Seems I've Been Reincarnated As A Mob Character In An Otome Game World, But The Prince Dropped Out Before It Even Started - Episode 15

In the center of the men’s dormitory underground parking lot.

Prince David II was making a tearful expression, trying to persuade his half-brother not to leave the royal capital.

Cedi-sama, on the other hand, was silent.

I am quietly watching my half-brother who is clinging to me.

Ian-sama and the other aides, who are watching with concern despite their neutral expressions.

On the side of the second prince, apart from the stern glasses-wearing person glaring at Cedi-sama with a hateful look, as if the villainess had already been dealt with, the others seemed somewhat awkward in this situation.

Because it’s the second prince’s rampage. His mother is desperately trying to eliminate the enemy, but he doesn’t understand at all.

A mother’s heart is unknown to her son.

“Brother, you don’t have to give up your position as a prince, do you?”

“But if you don’t do at least that, it will be difficult to annul my engagement with the daughter of the Duke of Wenham. That engagement was His Majesty’s wish to provide support to the First Prince.”

“The one at fault is me for falling ill, so it’s best for both you and those around us to dissolve the engagement.”

“Wh-what if we wait for the heat to die down and then say you recovered from your illness to reinstate your registration?”

I don’t feel like I can manage on my own. I’ve always relied on my older brother for help.

That’s right!!

I think the hearts of the first prince’s side and mine have become one.

The Prince David II in front of me is an ordinary person.

In the anime, he was a capable man with a facade of being a womanizer, but in this world, the foolish first prince with a self-centered personality has the opposite qualities. For some reason, the womanizer and self-centered traits have also disappeared.

If this prince were to ascend the throne, it would be tough to manage the subsequent reign with just the queen mother’s connections and the support of the villainess.

Because you already have a vague sense of it, you want to keep your capable half-brother close.

“Mother might dislike it, but I will definitely persuade her. So…”

No way, we shake our heads in our minds.

The Empress’s murderous intent is high, you know?

Because… ever since a while ago, a dark mist has been rising in my field of vision.

The source is the box of sweets that Mob Accounting has.

You probably intend to give it to Lord Cedi as a farewell gift, but that’s impossible. I can’t bring myself to eat it. Without a doubt, the Empress has poisoned it.

If ordered by the queen within the palace, Cedi must eat anything. However, in this place outside the palace, he can just accept it and throw it away later.

They probably understand too, so it’s just harassment, but we still need to issue a warning.

“Hoo.”

The farewell gift brought by the accountant is poisoned.

Without moving my lips, I whisper softly to Hugh standing next to me.

Hugh nodded and approached Lord Cedi, whispering my warning in his ear.

With his golden eyes narrowed, Master Cedi gave a wry smile as if to say, “Well, what can you do?”

The second prince, who was seen from the front, is at a loss for words.

Did I get mesmerized?

The combination of black hair that radiates a wet sheen and mysterious golden eyes.

Your brother has an incredible masculine charm, doesn’t he?

It’s the expression you’ve started showing me recently, that smile.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Is that box of sweets a farewell gift for me?

“Y-yes… Mother prepared it for you because it’s your favorite patisserie.”

“Will you continue to be concerned for this unworthy self until the very end?”

“Then you should try eating it once. You should be able to understand Her Highness’s thoughtfulness.”

“Me?”

“If you finish everything, I might consider returning to the royal capital positively.”

“Whoa?!”

It was a fleeting moment.

Mob Accounting slammed the candy box onto the floor.

They simply lift their foot and crush it. The Second Prince and the villainous noble ladies watch in stunned silence as the box is crushed over and over again, turning into a pile of debris.

“I apologize. My hand slipped.”

You knew the poison was in it, didn’t you, accountant?

It was a prank that I didn’t really think he would eat, but given the context of the conversation, I think the second prince would have mentioned it.

The accountant bowed his head calmly, but of course, Ian-sama would never forgive him.

Order your subordinate to detain him and tell them to interrogate him.

As expected of the Empress’s favored child. The decision to cover up the evidence was swift.

Well, the higher-ups here probably won’t let it slide. They laid hands on items that were supposed to be passed from prince to prince. They will definitely be expelled, at least on the surface.

“Um, um, brother…”

“David”

Lord Cedi, who was looking at the floor scattered with broken cookies, shifted his gaze to his half-brother and the villainous noblewoman.

As if nothing had happened, Cedi-sama continued calmly.

“When we arrive in Lakewood, let’s arrange for a witness and sign the annulment papers immediately according to royal custom.”

The daughter of the Duke of Wenham, who broke off her engagement with a male royal, has a six-month period during which she cannot remarry, but once that period is over, she can get engaged to you anytime. If all goes well, the announcement could be made at the New Year’s celebration.

At the very least, I hope you find happiness.

Cedi-sama, who had never smiled before, gives a faint smile.

The second prince was overjoyed, his expression one of overwhelming emotion, but for some reason, the villainous noblewoman’s complexion had turned pale.

Was there something concerning that was said?

I feel like I’m just congratulating my half-brother normally, but…

I tilted my head inwardly, but Prince David the Second pressed his half-brother with a follow-up question.

Um…

Did you ever love Trissy, brother?

Huh? You ask about things like that too?

I think it doesn’t really matter to confirm it now, but it might be important to the second prince.

The villainess and Lord Cedi never seemed to get along well.

Even so, maybe, just maybe.

Engagement by royal decree.

The villainess, who knew the plot of the anime, kept running away from the first prince, who showed no interest in such a fiancée.

And she is trying to be united with the second prince just like in the anime.

To her half-brother, who didn’t resemble her much in appearance, Lady Cedi narrowed her eyes of the same color and replied.

“I have never loved ‘her’ even once.”

Yeah. I actually heard that you’re gay.

Love doesn’t just happen, does it?
