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 7

Both Eleanor, my fiancée, and I were ordinary people without any particular talents. We thought we would continue living like this without any issues. We accepted our ordinariness and told ourselves that it was fine.

What changed my mind was an encounter at a small party at the magic academy.

That day, in a corner of the party venue, I was bored and alone. Eleanor was not by my side, saying she had other matters to attend to. There was no one around me. It seemed that no one wanted to befriend such an ordinary prince.

Amidst all this, I suddenly noticed a woman standing alone, just like me.

“Are you alone too?”

I called out to her on a whim. The moment she turned around, I gasped.

“Yes…?”

“！？”

I was captivated by her beautiful features in an instant.

“Wh-what’s your name?”

“I’m Vanessa. Are you, by any chance…?”

“Ah. I’mAlfred.”

That beautiful woman knew about me. I was so happy about that. After that, I talked to her.

The reason she was alone was because she had no friends at the academy. Among the many nobles, she, a commoner, stood out. Why would they exclude such a beautiful woman? Hearing this made my anger rise.

Even after the academy party ended, I started meeting Vanessa frequently. That’s when I learned that she was being treated unfairly. Despite her abilities, she wasn’t being recognized. Those in power were obstructing her, preventing her from receiving the proper evaluation. And all of this was because she was a commoner. I feel a sense of indignation.

I also got to see her skills. She was undoubtedly excellent.

Even the ordinary Eleanor receives an average evaluation, yet the true powerhouse Vanessa only gets the bare minimum. She is not being properly recognized.

“Vanessa, I appreciate your abilities. Even if others don’t recognize them, I do.”

When I told her that, Vanessa was so happy that she had tears in her eyes. I was also happy to see her so delighted.

Yes, this was the turning point for me. Meeting Vanessa made me realize something for the first time. I hated the idea of a mundane life.

For the first time, I genuinely wanted to help someone. Even an ordinary person like me could use the prince’s power to help at least one woman. With that thought, I took action.

Finally, Vanessa has started to receive the recognition she deserves.

“Thank you very much, Alfred-sama!”

I was very grateful to Vanessa. Being thanked by a woman I like felt exceptionally good. Thanks to her, my life is no longer ordinary.

I want to stay with the girl who changed me from now on. When I felt that way, I realized the truth. I didn’t really love Eleanor. She probably doesn’t love me either. Being together with someone who doesn’t love you will only bring unhappiness.

So, I decided to take decisive action. Just like when I helped Vanessa, I want to help my fiancée Eleanor. For that, I need to break off the engagement.

Getting married, having children, and living life without knowing anything is unfortunate. She should also break free from her ordinary life. Thinking this, I called Eleanor and revealed my true feelings.

“To be honest, I love a woman named Vanessa more than you.”

Like me, I want you to find someone you can truly love and seize the opportunity to change yourself.
