If his Highness did not desire it then———If that was the case, then won’t you give her over to my brother? That was what I’d thought.

I thought that if whoever was fine, then it didn’t have to particularly be her.

For the sake of my brother, who doesn’t want anyone but her.

Isn’t it fine to give up on the phantom princess?

If we were to eliminate his Highness, then presently there’s n.o.body more suitable than my brother to be her partner.

It seems my father was also no longer opposing. I knew that my parents have already resigned to giving up on my brother who always refuse to decide on a marriage partner.

More than anything the Duke who knew about my brother’s strong feelings, wouldn’t think to not make him into a candidate.

————anyhow I’d hoped for it to go well.

I wanted everything to fall in place.

While I was thinking that, somehow his Highness had fallen on love. He informed me with a happy face that I’d never seen before that he wanted to annul his engagement so that he can welcome that girl.

When he said that he’d already granted her the「King’s Flower」, I was shocked from the bottom of my heart.

But, with this everything would go well. At least that was what I’d thought.

The woman his Highness loved was, more than anything his own fiancee that my brother was in love with.
