The Lady Who Was Rejected with 'I Love Someone Else' Turned Out to Be the Strongest Sorceress – The Fate of the Prince Who Abandoned Her and the Lady Who Found Freedom - Episode 16

“Eleanor!”

After the practical magic class ended, while I was sitting at my desk in the classroom, I heard someone call my name. It was Prince Alfred.

I stand up and stand in front of him.

“What’s wrong, all of a sudden?”

“Eleanor, were you hiding your true abilities from me?”

They barged in and suddenly said something like that. Hiding behind him, Vanessa was also there. It seems she passed on the information.

“Hiding it is cowardly. Why didn’t you tell me?”

Prince Alfred’s voice, filled with anger, echoed throughout the classroom. Drawn by his voice, our friends began to watch us from a distance. A murmur enveloped the classroom.

“W-what? A quarrel?”

“A man’s shouting. Scary.”

“With that kind of expression, it might be dangerous.”

“Are Lady Eleanor and Prince Alfred having a fight?”

“I wonder what happened…”

Everyone’s curious gaze is directed at me. It’s such a hassle.

“I must have told you several times. To behave quietly at the academy. Besides, you must have seen me training with my master several times as well.”

I didn’t intend to hide it from Prince Alfred. I thought he knew, but apparently, he didn’t.

“I didn’t know! It’s probably because I never had the chance to see your true abilities. If I had known, I might have made a different decision.”

“In other words, you weren’t interested in me, right?”

“No! I’m saying I wanted you to talk to me about it beforehand. If you had, our relationship might have changed.”

Prince Alfred’s words sounded like they were mixed with regret and anger. However, I truly think it’s for the best that it turned out this way. Because his true nature has been revealed. I’m really glad I don’t have to marry someone like him.

“Besides, if we’re talking about hiding things, you were hiding the fact that you were cheating too, weren’t you?”

“……That’s different. This and that are two separate matters.”

“It’s not a breakup. The fact that you were secretly meeting without my knowledge is true, isn’t it?”

“I haven’t cheated on anyone. Vanessa and I are in a healthy relationship, and we’ve decided to date for the future of the kingdom—”

“Well, I don’t really care.”

I was disgusted by his constant excuses. Since we’ve already broken off the engagement, there is no longer any relationship between us. Therefore, this discussion is pointless. Yet, he continues to be angry.

Well, how should I settle this? Even if I explain it, Prince Alfred won’t be convinced.

A crowd is starting to gather around. If this continues, it will turn into an even bigger commotion. What should we do?

The people around probably won’t interfere with the prince. The teacher likely doesn’t want to get involved either.

Unfortunately, it seems we can’t expect any help.
