The Incompetent Bratty Prince is out (2/3 chapters)

“Your countless insults against my Haru-sama deserve a thousand deaths.” (Alexandra)

“!?” (Christia)

The overwhelming pressure that Xandra exerted made not only Christia, but also me, who was standing next to her, gasp for breath. The air in the room vibrated and the vibrations caused cracks to appear in the window glass.

“Xandra…?” (Harold)

“I don’t care if you’re the Saint or not. It doesn’t matter. I’ll rip that filthy mouth of yours apart right now.” (Alexandra)

I looked carefully at Xandra’s face as she stood up.

Huh!?

Her eyes, normally a deep sapphire blue, glowed blood red and her pupils had lengthened and become vertical, like those of a reptile.

What is this?

“S-someone… Hic!?” (Christia)

“What’s wrong? Hurry up and call those knights, or whoever you want. But know this. Every one of them will be bathed in blood, because of you.” (Alexandra)

“A-ah…!” (Christia)

As Xandra slowly and grinningly approached, Christia fell off her chair in fright, her face contorted in fear and she crawled backwards.

But then…

“Hehe… nowhere left to run to.” (Alexandra)

“Hello…!?” (Christia)

Christia, who was pressed against the wall, was grabbed by the throat with Xandra’s right hand and lifted high into the air.

As light as Christia is, is it really possible for Sandra, who weighs less than 63 kilos, to easily lift her with one hand?

“Go… gaha…” (Christia)

“Hehe. Just a little more force, and snap… it will break.” (Alexander)

As Christia gasped and struggled, Xandra’s grin grew wider, but…

Wait, I couldn’t just stand here in shock, could I?

“Xandra! Please stop this!” (Harold)

“Why should I? This woman insulted the supreme you during the previous match, made you come all the way here, and then said things that should never have been said. Shouldn’t her punishment for such a crime be death?” (Alexandra)

Xandra tilted her head slightly, as if she didn’t understand why I was asking her to stop.

T-this is bad. My fiancé is really bad news in more ways than one.

“I don’t care at all! Besides, I’m sure the Saint had her reasons for behaving like that! R-right? Right!” (Harold)

While I held Xandra back, I desperately searched for Christia’s agreement. She, her face now turning purple, nodded vigorously.

“S-see? Let’s hear her side of the story first, without any unnecessary negotiating!” (Harold)

“…You should be grateful to the most high Haru-sama.” (Christia)

“Gyaaah!!” (Christia)

Xandra carelessly threw Christia aside, after which she crashed into the wall with a scream.

What the hell happened to Xandra?

“Now that I’ve done everything I can to spare you, tell us your intentions.” (Alexandra)

“Cough… cough…!” (Christia)

“Didn’t you hear me?” (Alexandra)

“Cough… Hiccup! I-I’ll talk! I’ll talk!” (Christia)

Under Xandra’s intimidating gaze, Christia immediately threw herself to the ground and confessed everything without reservation.

First, Christia had allied herself with the Pope in the Holy Kingdom. However, because of her role as a Saint, she had to maintain a neutral stance in public. However, Lorenzo had been trying to use Christia for his own plans for some time.

So, after consulting with the Pope, they planned to send a goodwill delegation to the kingdom of Dehaubalz. By leaking that information to Lorenzo in advance, they deliberately set the stage for the ‘Saintess Kidnapping Incident’.

Christia arranged for Holy Knight Carla to accompany her, thoroughly preparing to deal with Lorenzo. Furthermore, since the official purpose of the visit was goodwill, they also wanted to secure allies within the kingdom. After all, Christia would be attending the Royal Academy as an exchange student in two years.

Given that, it made sense to target Wilfred and me, who were the same age. However, we were both known as the “tainted prince” and the “incompetent brazen prince,” with terrible reputations. So Christia decided to test and evaluate us.

If we were as the rumors said, she would avoid involvement altogether. If not, she planned to form an alliance and secure cooperation. But even if she wanted to form an alliance, Christia wanted to do it on her own terms. So she deliberately provoked me, in an attempt to gain the upper hand. As for Wilfred, unfortunately, he did not meet her standards.

“…So, as I said, I had no intention of belittling you, Your Highness Harold. In fact, I hope that we can continue to build a good relationship from now on.” (Christia)

When I saw Christia crawling, I felt some conflicting feelings.

—

“Hehe, it was just a joke. After all, Haru-sama now has the support of the Baltic Holy Kingdom and the Saint. I wouldn’t even think of messing that up. Besides, it’s pretty funny to see that pathetic idiot puffing up his chest and thinking he’s won your favor.” (Alexandra)

“Y-Yes! Exactly!” (Christia)

Christia was doing her best to flatter Xandra at that moment, but Carla, who didn’t know what had happened between the two, seemed confused.

“Ahem… but to think that Lorenzo was actually a vampire… I would never have guessed that. It is truly a grave failure to allow someone like him to operate freely within the Holy Kingdom.” (Carla)

Carla tried to change the tense atmosphere, coughed and brought up Lorenzo. But thanks to my memories of my previous life, I already knew his true identity.

“There is a chance that other vampires like Lorenzo are still hiding. We must conduct a thorough investigation once we return to the Holy Kingdom. And as for you, Your Highness Harold…” (Carla)

“Of course I won’t tell anyone about this.” (Harold)

I brought a finger to my lips and assumed a playful pose.

“Thank you.” (Christia)

“We are very grateful.” (Carla)

Christia and Carla both bowed their heads at the same time.

And so I somehow managed to extract Christia’s scenario from ‘Engage Hazard’. Although the Saintess did not enter a ‘romantic state’ with me as in the game, we eventually formed a bond that was perhaps even stronger.

Then the day came.

“Thank you very much for your hospitality, everyone in the Dehaubalz kingdom.” (Christia)

As Christia bowed deeply at the entrance of the palace, it was finally time for her to return to the Holy Kingdom. Of course, as host, Wilfred, myself, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, officials and others were all there to see her off.

“Christia… let’s meet again in two years.” (Wilfred)

“Yes…” (Christia)

Wilfred knelt down before her and looked at her longingly. Although Christia also had a somewhat warm expression, it was all part of her act.

Impressive, really. Well, I guess you couldn’t survive as the Saintess if you didn’t have those acting skills.

“Your Highness Harold, thank you very much for everything.” (Christia)

“No, not at all.” (Harold)

As if running away from Wilfred, Christia came to me and took my hand.

Wait a minute!?

“…Thank you for protecting me from both Alexandra-sama and Lorenzo. I will never forget your kindness.” (Christia)

Her warm breath tickled my ear as she whispered, and I couldn’t help but freeze on the spot.

Seriously, what hidden agenda does she have now? This is terrifying.

“Well then, goodbye.” (Christia)

Together with Carla, Christia got into her carriage and left the capital.

“…Haru-sama. What did the Saint just do?” (Alexandra)

“Nothing! She just thanked me for everything that happened, that’s all! I swear!” (Harold)

Although I had nothing to feel guilty about, Xandra’s voice almost gave me the shivers and I couldn’t help but let my voice break.
