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 25

One day, my friend told me about a rumor that piqued my interest.

“Lady Eleanor, there have been strange rumors spreading lately.”

Seeing my friend’s serious expression, I braced myself. I decided to ask for more details about what it was.

“Strange rumors?”

“It’s a rumor full of lies that lowers your reputation.”

When I listened to the conversation, the content of the rumors was that I was bullying others, associating with bad people, and cheating on exams.

“Is that rumor spreading?”

“Yes. But no one believes it. Some groups of boys seem to be discussing the rumor out of amusement, but not a single girl believes it.”

“Is that so?”

Hearing my friend’s words, a feeling of relief welled up inside me. They believe in me.

“The girls all think of you as a benefactor who watched over their training and helped them improve their exam scores. It’s unthinkable to doubt someone like that.”

I was moved by my friend’s words.

“Thank you. I’m glad you believe me.”

“We’re the ones who should be thanking you. Thanks to you, everyone has been able to grow.”

I felt that my past activities were being recognized and that I had gained the trust of those around me. That made me truly happy.

“Anyway, the content of the rumor is uncertain and there’s no element of truth in it at all. But I can’t stand the fact that Lady Eleanor is being gossiped about. I want to somehow find out who spread the rumor.”

I immediately guessed the source of the rumor. It was probably Prince Alfred and Vanessa. They’re doing something foolish again. They must be doing it to lower my reputation.

But I kept quiet with the friend who informed me.

This is just my prediction, and it’s not confirmed yet. Besides, I want to avoid doing anything extra that might anger someone other than me.

“Thank you. But for now, just leave it alone without trying to find the source of the rumor.”

“But!”

“Just that feeling is enough. It’s okay because everyone believes in me, and I have friends who are kind to me like this. For now, there’s no harm, so let’s leave it be. If the rumors get worse or if people start believing them, then I would like you to help me.”

“Of course! Understood. As Lady Eleanor wishes, I’ll keep quiet for now.”

“Yeah. Please do that.”

I held my friend’s hand and expressed my heartfelt gratitude. No matter what rumors spread, I have friends who believe in me and support me. That is the greatest encouragement of all.

No matter what tricks Prince Alfred and the others try, I won’t lose. If I face them head-on with integrity, the truth will surely come to light.
