The Princess Who Was Married Off To The Prince of Slaughter In Place of Her Sister. While She Was Growing Fairies and Potatoes in The Garden of The Detached Palace, His Highness's Infatuation Began - Episode 23

“Fel~~? Where are you~~?”

A notice arrived that the guest room was ready, and my sister headed there.

When I returned to the detached palace after parting with my sister, I couldn’t see Fel.

I searched all over the detached palace, but I couldn’t find it.

“It’s almost snack time, but where could he have gone?”

I wonder if she’s angry about being left alone.

“Your Highness, the Crown Princess, just now, Princess Charlotte’s maid has arrived.”

“Charlotte’s maid?”

“I was instructed to deliver this letter to the Crown Princess.”

I received a letter from Claire.

What does my sister want with me……?

“……!”

After reading the letter from my sister, I was left speechless.

“Your Highness, the Crown Princess, is something the matter?”

Ms. Claire called out to me with a worried voice.

“N-no, it’s nothing! I, um… well, I have an urgent matter to attend to! I’m going to pick some flowers in the field!”

“Your Highness the Crown Princess…?”

To avoid raising Claire’s suspicions, I left the detached palace.

“Charlotte… what is the meaning of this?”

When I went to my sister’s guest room, she was relaxing on the sofa.

“Oh, you were surprisingly quick, sister.”

“Where’s Fel? Give Fel back!”

In the letter from my sister, it was written, “The fairy has been taken. If you want it back, come to the guest room alone without telling anyone.”

“Please don’t make a fuss. If it’s a fairy, look, right there.”

There was a table behind the sofa where my sister was sitting, and something covered with a cloth was placed on it.

When my sister signaled with her eyes, her servant took the cloth.

On the table, there was a large birdcage, and inside it lay Fel.

My heart skips a beat.

“Fel…! Charlotte, what did you do to Fel?!”

“Don’t worry. They’re just sleeping.”

Just sleeping…? I’m glad you’re alive.

“Fel, I’ve come to pick you up.”

“Don’t move, sister.”

Just as I took a step forward, my sister stopped me.

“If you move, the fairy will lose its life.”

When her sister signaled, her servant thrust a knife to Fel’s neck.

“……!”

The bl00d is draining from my body.

“Do fairies also have red bl00d flowing through them, just like us?”

My sister tilted her head slightly.

With such a cute face, how can you say something so terrifying?

“Please! Charlotte! Give Fel back!”

“That’s an impossible request. However, if you move as I say, I can guarantee the safety of the fairy.”

“What are you… talking about?”

“Sister, I have something I want. If you cooperate, I will protect the fairy under my care.”

“Something you want?”

“One is the blessing of the fairies. This is as good as done. The fairies are in my hands. I’m lucky to have such foolish fairies. They came running at the smell of sweets and ate all the candies laced with sleeping pills.”

It’s my fault. I trusted my sister and told her Fel’s favorite food, and now Fel is in this situation…

“I have one more thing I want. Would you be willing to give it to me, sister?”

Give it up? Is what my sister wants something I already have?

What I desire is His Highness Leonis.

“Huh…?”

“Lord Leonis is my ideal type, you know. I was deceived by that terrifying title ‘Prince of Slaughter’ and regretted giving him up to my sister.”

My sister grimaced with regret.

“Prince Leonis was originally supposed to marry me. Even Prince Leonis would prefer me, the one called the most beautiful girl in the country, over an older sister with an ordinary appearance. So, sister, please return Prince Leonis to me.”

Anger welled up from the depths of my being!

You said you didn’t want to marry Lord Leonis, and yet you sent me as a substitute to the Wolfheart Kingdom, and now you want me back!

“Is that the consensus of the Noble Grant Kingdom? Do Father and Brother know about this?”

“They don’t know anything. Father and Brother are saying pathetic things like bowing their heads to Sister to get the fairies’ blessing. I refuse to live by currying favor with Sister!”

It seems that our homeland is not involved in this matter.

“Father and brother are fools. They should just take the fairy from sister.”

“I can’t comply with your demands! Give Fer back!”

Sorry, Fel.

Because of me, you ended up in danger…

When I asked my sister about Janet, she replied, “I don’t know any maid by that name.”

I haven’t told my sister about Janet’s job.

The fact that my sister knew Janet’s profession was proof that she had been manipulating her…

I can’t believe you didn’t notice something like that…!

“If you don’t listen to me, I’ll kill the fairy!”

The maid of my sister brought the knife close to Fer’s neck.

“Stop it…!”

“Then move according to my instructions. In front of everyone, say, ‘The fairy originally belonged to my younger sister. I wanted to be treated like my younger sister, so I took it from her when I got married’… that’s what you should say.”

“……!”

“I am not worthy of being the crown princess because I am ugly,” she says, demanding a divorce from His Highness Leonis. “My pure-hearted and beautiful younger sister is the one worthy of being the crown princess,” she says, recommending me as his second wife.

Does my sister have human bl00d flowing through her veins?

“If you do as I say, I will grant this country the blessing of the fairies. If you don’t, I will take the fairies back to my country and not grant this country their blessing. Just when you were starting to become prosperous, you’ll be back to your old, poor life.”

Why can my sister do such a terrifying thing so calmly?

It’s hard for the people of this country to return to their previous poor lives.

If that were to happen, Lord Leonis would surely be saddened as well.

“Hey, sister. I’m not asking, I’m commanding. If you want, I could take a fairy’s life right here and now.”

“If you kill Fel, you won’t be able to receive blessings anymore.”

I want to somehow help Fel, at least.

I need to convey the benefits of keeping Fel alive.

“I can’t stand the fact that only you, my sister, are being pampered and living well in the neighboring country! I’ll kill the fairies and make both our homeland and this country poor! I won’t allow anyone to be happy while I’m miserable!! Everyone should be unhappy together!!”

My sister’s eyes were bloodshot.

My sister is not normal right now.

At this rate, Fel will really be killed!

That’s absolutely not okay! Fel is like family to me! I won’t let anyone kill him!

Moreover… if Fel’s protection were to disappear, the people of this country…

I had no choice left.

I’m sorry, Fel.

Live happily with my sister…
