Chapter 95

Hirt's doubt was understandable, perhaps, if one knew nothing.

"It's different from the Book of Prophecy. The names of the characters and the broad outline are similar, but my personality and the position of the Princess of Einhorn are completely different from that story," I explained.

At my explanation, Hirt nodded slightly, saying, "I see."

"I mentioned earlier the love story of a prince and a town girl, and the story where the jilted fiancée takes revenge. Let's call the first story A and the revenge story B. The Princess of Einhorn loved reading A, but the phenomena in this world are closer to B, with her as the protagonist. However, I want to make it clear that the Princess of Einhorn understands that this world is similar to A, but the flow is becoming like B, and she doesn't want to be the protagonist. Who is guiding the events to make it like B, then?"

"Who...?"

"Wait a moment. Lord Albert says that someone is twisting the natural course of events?" Hetta asked.

I nodded quietly in response to Hetta's question.

"I thought it might be overthinking, but after hearing the story of the Silver Dragon, I became even more convinced."

"Is it about Lady Liette?"

"Yes. The soul of the first generation was sent to another world, and the alliance between the Silver Dragon and Marquess was broken. Seizing this opportunity, my mother fell in love with the king at first sight and wanted to be by his side or become his wife, all guided by the goddess Wisteria. Considering this, don't you think that the people around the king, who treated me in a way that distorted my personality, making me into a disappointing prince like in B, might have been acting on someone's orders?"

Nebel and Hirt also looked startled at my words.

"Even the events that happened to Al six years ago might have been due to the intervention of the goddess Wisteria."

"Not only that, but also the events involving the Princess of Einhorn."

When I mentioned the Princess of Einhorn, Hetta reacted sharply.

"It might not be that everything is due to the goddess Wisteria, but every time something ominous happens around me, it seems to be guiding the flow to make the Princess of Einhorn the protagonist."

"Indeed. The mistreatment of Al in the palace seems to have been an attempt to create a thoughtless prince who would break the engagement."

"The kidnapping of the Princess of Einhorn might have been to put both Lord Albert and the Princess in danger, making them aware of each other and fostering goodwill."

"Or, if the Princess had been injured, it might have led to a situation where the engagement was formed as a way to take responsibility."

At Hetta's final words, Nebel, Hirt, and I exclaimed in unison.

Indeed! That could have happened! Especially since there are people around me who would say such things.

The most powerful person in this country would think of such things and might even issue a royal decree!

"I hadn't considered that."

Nebel patted my back comfortingly as I groaned, and Hirt gently stroked my head. Ugh~ Their kindness is touching.

While basking in their kindness, I suddenly thought of something.

"No, maybe such a proposal has already been made."

Looking up, I saw Hetta, who was sitting in front of me, smile and say, "That's possible, isn't it? Compensation for the mental distress caused to the Princess of Einhorn or something like that. Someone might suggest it, you know?"

That's true, and someone might suggest it. And there might be someone who would latch onto those words out of love for their daughter.

"When we return to the capital, I'll confirm with the Queen and the Chancellor."

"Even though it's a past event, will it be dragged up?"

"Adults will do it. They'll bring up forgotten matters and say, 'Back then, it was like this~'"

Especially the nobles involved in national affairs. Well, let's make that a task for when we return.

"In any case, this has solidified my resolve."

"Resolve?"

I nodded at Hirt's tilted head.

"My enemy is the goddess Wisteria. I will crush her plans one by one."

Nebel, who seemed to understand my thoughts, nodded in agreement, while Hirt looked worried about challenging a deity, and Hetta's eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Of course, what a human can do is limited! But if I can crush the phenomena caused by the goddess Wisteria until I come of age, I think everything will be fine! After all, I won't be a royal anymore!!"

Saying this with determination, the three of them nodded in understanding.

"The goddess Wisteria has already interfered with my mother. I believe she even interfered with the marriage of the king and the queen."

After the original fiancé's engagement was broken, the public proposal was definitely a setup for my mother.

That goddess, she only does unnecessary things.

"Indeed, the ripples have spread to the Duke's family, centered around the Princess of Einhorn. What was it, the charm of the Princess of Einhorn that Lord Albert mentioned in the past? The gentlemen around her are almost blind, and that is the work of the goddess Wisteria, isn't it?"

Yes, that's true too.

"We need to be cautious about Ignatz and his surroundings. And the Princess of Einhorn... I know it sounds harsh, but control is necessary."

"That's the purpose of the dispatch. Please leave it to me."

How reliable.

The goddess Wisteria, who has been meddling in my surroundings and trying to shape my future according to her will.

I don't care what you're planning.

You started this fight with me. I will crush all the scenarios you desire, so remember that.
