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 6

With the sudden announcement of the broken engagement, they are trying to pin the false accusation of bullying on me. I haven’t heard anything about this. Prince Alfred’s reckless actions. Unbelievable. Are they planning to drag my name through the mud to the very end?

“Wait a moment.”

“What is it?”

Prince Alfred glared at my face as I spoke. His eyes were cold and looked down on me, as if saying, “Shut up and stay silent.” But this time, I couldn’t just stay quiet.

“I am not bullying anyone.”

“I have evidence. Making excuses is pathetic. It’s already been resolved, so I won’t say any more about it. Just admit it quickly.”

Even though I didn’t do it, they say it’s resolved. The gazes of the surrounding nobles were painful. I felt their curious eyes, as if they were looking for gossip material.

“That’s why I think bullying is…”

“Admit it!”

He had an attitude that allowed no argument. At that moment, one of the men nearby spoke up.

“Wait a moment.”

“Are you Edgar? What do you think you’re doing, pushing in like that?”

The one who stepped forward was Prince Edgar, the second prince. He stood before me with a serious expression and faced Prince Alfred. As the venue fell silent, I felt a sense of security in his strong back.

“Brother, is that really true? Is there any evidence that Eleanor was bullying?”

“Of course there is. There’s no way I would lie in a place like this.”

“Then, could you please present that evidence in front of everyone?”

“Th-that’s…”

Did he not expect to be pursued this far? Prince Alfred hesitated. Sweat was glistening on his forehead.

“If there is no evidence, it can only seem like my brother is trying to frame Eleanor.”

At Edgar’s words, the venue begins to buzz. Whispers can be heard from all around. Prince Alfred’s face contorts even further.

“Edgar, are you siding with a woman who would bully others?”

“I only stand by the truth. I won’t do something as foolish as blaming before it’s clear whether bullying actually occurred.”

“Supporting a woman like that is foolish.”

“Shouldn’t you be ashamed of your own foolish actions, brother?”

Lord Edgar’s straightforward words are cornering Prince Alfred. He cannot present any evidence. Moreover, he even tried to slander me with lies. The nobles’ gazes are gradually turning towards Prince Alfred.

“Be ashamed? Me? Why?”

“To frame Eleanor and slander her with lies is nothing short of cowardly. A true prince should find such actions disgraceful.”

“……Hmph. It’s not a lie.”

“Then, please show me the evidence.”

“There was bullying. If you don’t believe that, it seems pointless to discuss it.”

“That’s our line.”

At Lord Edgar’s words, the venue fell silent as if soaked with water. Prince Alfred, gritting his teeth, left the place in a huff. Disgusted glances were directed at the left-behind Vanessa.

Vanessa, who had been watching the situation in an excitement, seemed unable to withstand his gaze and hurriedly followed Prince Alfred.

I could only stand there, frozen in place. I could only watch silently.

“Eleanor, are you okay?”

Lord Edgar kindly calls out to me.

“Oh. Lord Edgar… Thank you very much. If you hadn’t protected me, I would have…”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s only natural to protect someone innocent like you. It honestly frustrated me quite a bit to see you being blamed for something you didn’t do. I couldn’t help but speak up.”

Lord Edgar believes in me. There was something overwhelming in the strength that resided in his earnest eyes. Tears streamed down my cheeks.

“Eleanor, you can live strongly. Believe in yourself.”

His words deeply resonate within my heart. I nodded repeatedly and wiped away my tears.

“……Yes. Thank you very much. Edgar-sama.”

With Lord Edgar’s encouraging words, I left the venue feeling uplifted. Although some frustration remained, I felt genuine joy knowing I had a strong ally by my side.
