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 33

With heavy steps, I headed to the room of my older brother, Prince Alfred. I was going to inform him of the outcome of this matter, despite his being forbidden to go out.

To be honest, I didn’t want this kind of role. But I thought I had to see it through to the end myself. And I thought I had to witness it to the very end.

I took a deep breath in front of the door, steeled myself, and opened it. My exhausted brother came into view.

Under the watchful eyes, the room was filled with a suffocating atmosphere.

When I entered the room, my brother had a displeased expression on his face. In his eyes, anger, resignation, and a hint of hope were mixed together.

“Hurry up and get me out of here.”

“I can’t do that.”

At my cold reply, my brother’s expression twisted for a moment.

“Hmph…”

My brother snorted. Without a greeting, he demanded to be let out of the room while still sitting. Standing in front of the door, I continued to handle the situation calmly. I had to be careful not to speak emotionally. I repeatedly reminded myself in my mind.

“Brother, there is something I must tell you.”

I brought it up. It’s a hassle and I don’t want to say it. But I have to.

“It has been decided that my brother’s right to the throne will be revoked.”

“Such a thing is unacceptable! Sure, I caused an incident. But to have my right to the throne revoked over such a minor mistake!”

My brother was furious. His voice trembled with anger, and his face was flushed.

“It’s not just about the incident in the square. It’s the accumulation of actions up to this point that led to this.”

I spoke to him as if to reason with him. My brother fell silent. He stopped resisting surprisingly easily, but it was clear that he wasn’t convinced. Flames of hatred flickered in his eyes.

Perhaps, after leaving this room, he is planning to repay this humiliation many times over. In other words, my brother hasn’t learned his lesson. He hasn’t learned anything at all. Once he leaves the room, he’ll probably repeat the same behavior.

“Also, there’s one more thing I need to tell you.”

I continued.

“What is it?”

With an arrogant attitude, my brother listened to my voice. In his eyes, there was still a glimmer of hope.

“Vanessa has been executed.”

“Huh?”

For the first time, a look of surprise appeared on my brother’s face. He seemed to not understand what was said.

“What did you just say…?”

“Vanessa has been executed. She is no longer in this world.”

Once more, I conveyed the same words. This time, they seemed to be heard clearly, and my brother’s face turned pale. A silence that felt as if time had stopped enveloped us.

“……Waaaaahhh!”

Suddenly, my brother jumped up from his chair and tried to grab me.

“Hey!”

“Stop thrashing around!”

The soldiers immediately moved to restrain the brother. However, he continued to struggle violently. His demeanor was like that of a wild beast. Gradually, he began to lose strength. Eventually, he fell silent.

“How could this happen… Why her…”

He seemed to be quite shocked. Did he care about Vanessa that much? If so, why did he let her take such a dangerous action?

“I went too far.”

I said calmly.

“Ordering harm to befall the daughter of a duke’s family is absolutely unacceptable, no matter how you look at it.”

“I never thought it would come to this.”

My brother murmurs. Completely drained of strength, he slumped in the soldiers’ arms.

“Wasn’t it you who ordered me to do that, brother? If so, it’s foolish to say such things. It’s pointless to say you didn’t think about it later.”

My brother fell silent and sat down in the chair as the soldiers urged him. He suddenly aged and transformed into a frail figure.

Really, why did I do something like that? If I regret it so much, I should have stopped.

“Such… Vanessa…”

My brother still muttered in a daze.

“Why is she…?”

It seemed like there was no longer any strength left to argue. They just stared blankly at the floor, occasionally shaking their head slightly.

After finishing the report, I left the room with heavy steps, just like when I entered.

After that, so he couldn’t cause any more trouble, my brother was sent to a remote area and imprisoned.
