My fiancée prince poisoned me and my love cooled..!

I PICKED IT UP ON MY WAY BACK TO THE TERRITORY||• (Chapter 3)

A carriage travels on an unpaved road with rattling.

　I left the royal capital for the first time in a long time and headed for the territory. The Marquis Nesbitt had a territory in the eastern part of the country as a cornerstone of the frontier. If you move by carriage, it will take about 10 days. However, since Luera uses relocation from the royal capital, it is a carriage after moving to a nearby city. In half a day, she will arrive at the Nesbitt mansion.

　Looking out from the window, Harriet, a maid in front of me, softly called out to me.

"How is it? If the shaking is severe, take a break."

"I'm getting numb, but I'm still okay."

"Don't overdo it. This movement also hurt your body."

　Harriet looks unconvinced. Ruela knew she was worried, so she nodded obediently.

"I know, but I've been in the mansion for twenty days and it's boring."

"It's boring"

　It was a little disappointing, but Ruela didn't care. She woke up and she took twenty days for her to manage to go out. She is in this state with healing magic on a daily basis. As Harriet says, it's definitely better to lie down slowly in the mansion.

"I just didn't want to be in the royal capital."

"Young lady"

"Things that come in even if you don't want to hear"

　It was a body that was not freed by poison, but even so, if you were conscious, various information would come in. In her early days, the information itself was blocked by his family, but he insisted that he was more anxious when the situation was unknown. His parents didn't look very good, but his brother simply told me what was going on.

　Ruela's engagement has returned to a blank slate.

　Gwin is not informed of that.

　I knew this from a conversation with my mother. Still, when she was told only the facts, her chest hurt. She had a tearing pain because she had lived for a long time thinking she had to support Gwin.

　The information didn't end there.

　Gwin's actions are also reported once every two days. At which store I made a fool of myself, I jumped into a masquerade ball and participated.

　Of course I'm not alone. When you act, your aides are by your side, and what's worse, Gwin is always on your side with Janie Fraser.

　The two are so close together that if you see someone you don't know, you might think they're lovers or fiancées.

　Even though I'm just reading the report, I can imagine how it looks. They must be having fun every day with a radiant smile, like lovers destined to be united in their hearts.

　He may be happy with what he wants to do, but for the aristocrats who support Ruela and Gwin, it's almost a betrayal. In a blink of an eye, Gwin's achievements, which he had accumulated desperately to be as good as the Second Prince, were destroyed in a blink of an eye.

　There is no longer any aristocrat who supports the first prince. It seems that everyone unanimously agreed at the preliminary assembly of the crown prince's decision that Gwin had no qualifications as a crown prince. Normally, it is a place to line up each other's achievements and judge which qualities are more suitable for the king in the future.

"Even though we worked together to make it suitable as a successor to the king, it disappeared in a blink of an eye."

"..."

　Harriet was silent when he muttered. The expression is so regrettable and uncomfortable that I feel sorry for Ruela. I knew why she felt that way. Because she was Luela's companion the day she drank her poison.

"At that time, if I was forced to be present"

"Your Highness told me to go down. Only I could refuse, so don't blame me for it."

"but"

　Harriet burst into tears. It's the first time she's seen her tears, and Ruela is amazed at her. And she leaned a little and wiped her tears as she took the handkerchief out of her pocket.

"Oh, don't cry. Did you contact your dad to get back to the mansion right away? Thanks to that, I wasn't trapped in the castle.

"Because I absolutely didn't want to leave my daughter in such a place."

　From that way of crying, Ruela understood what happened after she lost consciousness. She was right next to the unconscious Luera, and she would have been ranting as much as she wanted to say. She knew she was being slandered, but she must have been swearing even worse next to Ruela, who was about to die.Smile at the mouth and stare at Harriet with strong eyes.

"I'm sorry, I didn't notice."

"Young lady"

"I'm only angry that I was poisoned, but now I'm glad my engagement was blank."

　Speaking flatly, Harriet cried even more. He quietly watched as much as he wanted to cry, and the carriage shook and stopped.

"...?"

　Ruela called out to the coachman.

"what happened?"

"Lady, something has fallen on the road."

"falling?"

　I didn't understand the coachman's words, so I looked at Harriet.

"The escort will check it, so leave it as it is for a while."

　If you pay attention to that, you have no choice but to be quiet. Curiously looking out the window, Harriet gently held Luela's arm.

"Don't embark any further. Toward a little further."

"Isn't it dangerous?"

　As far as you can see from here, it seems that it is not dangerous if you see the escort crouching down and having a conversation.

"I want to see what's going on."

"Young lady"

"Not just a little ..."

　During such an exchange, the door was knocked. If you turn to the window in a hurry, the escort looks in trouble.

"what happened?"

"That's it. It looks like the magician lying there was hired by the Marquis Nesbitt."

"Well, my home?"

"Yes. I have also confirmed the proof of the special contract."

　When I heard that it was a special contract, I was surprised to open my eyes.

"Well, should I pick it up and go home?"

"if you can"

　When I started such a conversation, Harriet strongly opposed it.

"Don't! Even if you know what you're doing, you're a man. You can't be with your daughter!"

"But you're about to die, right?"

"I'm not injured, but I can't move one finger."

"Maybe the magical power is exhausted?"

　The escort nodded slightly. No matter how strong a magician, if the magical power is exhausted, he will die. If he is dying, he will not hurt Ruela.

"Young lady!"

　He screamed, so he smiled to reassure him.

"It's okay. Our special contract is special. If you try to attack the Marquis Nesbitt, the curse of the contract will be activated."

　There is a pretty nasty curse in the contract.

　Harriet, who knew about it, said reluctantly and closed his mouth.
