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 29

Prince Alfred and Prince Edgar faced each other. An invisible tension hung in the air between them.

“You’re in the way. Move, Edgar.”

Saying that, Prince Alfred glared at Prince Edgar. His gaze was filled with contempt for his brother and full of hostility.

“I can’t back down, brother.”

In response, Prince Edgar answers calmly. He stands firmly, showing no signs of being disturbed.

“I have business with that woman. Get out of the way!”

Prince Alfred pointed at me and said. His attitude of treating me like an object made me involuntarily frown.

“Unfortunately, that is not possible.”

Prince Edgar stated firmly. His words conveyed an unwavering determination.

“Why? That guy was bullying Vanessa! We have to make him pay for that crime!”

Prince Alfred, bursting with emotion. His voice is tinged with resentment and hatred. I didn’t bully her, though. It seems he truly believes that.

“…sigh”

Seeing Prince Alfred like that, Prince Edgar let out a sigh. It was a sigh that seemed to express both exasperation and disappointment at his brother’s childishness.

“Alright, move aside!”

“……”

Prince Edgar had been staring at his brother for a while, but eventually gave orders to the soldiers behind him.

“Please restrain Prince Alfred. We will also take the woman lying there.”

The words were spoken in a calm yet strong tone, as if by an absolute authority.

“Huh? What are you saying? There’s no way that’s acceptable—”

“Brother, you went too far.”

To the visibly shaken Prince Alfred, Prince Edgar declares. His gaze is utterly serious, devoid of any trace of a smile.

“W-What are you saying!? Stop it! Let go of me!”

Prince Alfred, still resisting despite being restrained. He desperately focuses on casting a spell, but he can’t match the soldiers’ speed. In no time, both of his hands are held down, and he becomes unable to move.

Meanwhile, Prince Alfred’s companions stood there in a daze. Not a single one of them attempted to help the prince. Perhaps they were intimidated by Prince Edgar’s imposing presence.

“Who do you think I am? I am a prince!”

Even as a captive, Prince Alfred still delivered his lines with vigor. His voice even sounded pitiful.

“You can ignore it. Just treat it like apprehending a rogue.”

However, Prince Edgar dismisses it outright. He treats the person in front of him as if they were just a common criminal, not a prince.

“Wh-what do you mean, a scoundrel!? How dare you treat me like that—”

Prince Alfred, who continued to cause a commotion, was dragged away by the soldiers. Prince Edgar, who watched him leave, had an expressionless face that revealed no emotions.

Eventually, the square was enveloped in silence. The companions who had followed Prince Alfred were also taken away, but they seemed to be obediently following orders and were not being treated roughly.

The only ones left in the square were Prince Edgar, a few of his subordinates, and me.

Amidst all this, Prince Edgar approached me. I felt my tension ease at his gentle expression.

“I’m sorry for being late to help.”

Saying that, Prince Edgar bowed his head. For someone of his stature, even if she is a daughter of a duke’s family, to bow to me… I can’t help but feel a bit guilty.

“Lord Edgar! Please lift your head! I’m fine. I’m not injured.”

I hurriedly answered. Indeed, although I was delayed, thanks to Prince Edgar, I was able to escape the crisis. I was sufficiently helped. I am filled with gratitude.

“Actually, I had them under surveillance. I made sure to get a call immediately if they caused any trouble.”

Prince Edgar confesses like that. I can’t hide my surprise.

“Oh, is that so?”

Apparently, they were being monitored because they might cause some trouble. I didn’t know that.

Oh, by the way. I remembered something. About her before she came here.

“There is a student who came to tell me to come here. I have to help her too.”

Saying that, I asked Prince Edgar. I was worried about that child who had been threatened by Prince Alfred.

“It’s okay. That child is being taken care of here.”

I let out a sigh of relief at Prince Edgar’s words.

“Is that so?”

“She informed me too. She told me the situation and came to let me know that you might be in danger.”

That person went that far for me even after we broke up.

“Is that so?”

I’m really glad she’s safe. I was worried because it seemed like Prince Alfred was threatening her. If Prince Edgar is protecting her, then we can rest easy.

“I plan to have her testify about this matter as well. So, I don’t think there will be any problems.”

Hearing that, I felt relieved.

Prince Edgar declares strongly. He was the reason I came to the square. But I’m glad he seems to be considered not one of the culprits.

“This matter will be handled here. We might come to hear the circumstances, so please testify honestly at that time.”

“Understood. I’ll leave the rest to you.”

I nodded. I intend to tell the whole story of the incident, every detail. The truth, as it is.

“After that, I don’t think there will be any more harassment from my brother and Vanessa. So you can rest easy.”

“Yes”

Hearing Prince Edgar’s words, I can’t help but smile. It seems like the days of their harassment are over, and I can finally enjoy a peaceful school life.

Thus, the magical attack incident in the square came to a close. What remained in my heart after the incident was only a sense of relief and gratitude towards Prince Edgar.
