•Oscar Tu Estline Perspective 1

“Damn! Who the hell is he?! He’s nothing more than a Cold-Blooded Prince!”

I went back to my room after his damned engagement party was over and started blasting things all over the place.

I mean, he was indifferent to everything until recently, and he was just a puppet for that disgusting First Queen!

“P-Prince Oscar, please calm down!”

“Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down? That guy made me look like a fool! Do you know that?!”

“Y-Yes!”

Linda, the chamberlain, stepped in, but when I yelled at her, she backed down.

If that’s the case, don’t talk to me from the beginning!

“First and foremost, Marguerite is—Marguerite! How can you be engaged to that guy when I had my eye on you first!”

Yes, I’ve always admired that amber-eyed beauty named Marguerite Friedenreich!

—○█○—

Marguerite—I met her in the autumn of my childhood.

A fairy was running towards the garden, where the marigold flowers were blooming.

She had silver hair, amber eyes, and white skin, and she was so stunning that it was difficult to believe she was from this world.

So I ran after her, trying to catch her… When I caught up with her, she was praying at the fountain.

I had no idea what it meant, so I just stood there watching her.

But seeing her pray like that is also enchanting.

And I was thinking…

That fairy belongs to me.

I want to keep her in my room.

After that…

“…What are you doing?”

This puppet b*stard, of all people, spoke to the fairy before I did!

But he’s usually so unconcerned about his surroundings that he never speaks to anyone. Could he be after the fairy as well?!

That’s what I was thinking as I prepared to rush to her side and grab her. But, just as I was about to do so, he ripped a button off his shirt, threw it into the fountain, prayed, and left.

“Wait… so is it just a whim…”

You really surprised me, you puppet…

I crept up slowly this time so the fairy wouldn’t notice me.

But…

“What are you doing there!”

“Eh?!”

A knight patrolling the palace spotted the fairy and took her away.

“Damn! Why did you take her away without my permission? I was going to take her home!”

I keep stomping the ground, cursing, but as the knight leads her away, even I, the second prince, am powerless to intervene.

I had no choice but to give up and return to the royal palace.

“Hello, Elder Brother…”

“…”

When I happened to see him, I put a smile on my face and called out to him, but he only glanced at me and went away.

That is when

“Let’s go home, Marguerite.”

“…yes.”

I came across that fairy as she was leaving the palace with an adult man.

However, this man… I believe it’s the Marquess of Friedenreich, Minister of the Interior…

“Wahaha, nice to meet you!”

I smiled cheerfully and jumped in front of the man and the fairy.

“Well, well—you appear to be in a good mood, Your Highness Oscar.”

“Greetings to His Highness Oscar, the kingdom’s star.”

“Wahaha, don’t be so formal—but who are you?”

“Yes, my name is Marguerite Friedenreich.”

Marguerite…

“Nice to meet you, Marguerite.”

I extend my right hand and request a handshake.

Marguerite, on the other hand, did not take my hand and only gave me a curtsey.

I was irritated at first, but I was so taken with how lovely she was that I soon forgot.

“…Your Highness, we must depart.”

“Please excuse me, Your Highness.”

They then exited the palace.

“…Dietrich-sama.”

Marguerite muttered his name.
