Chapter 9

Alvin, who was seething with anger, believed in a baseless rumor. It seems that Isabella had been spreading false information, thinking that I was an unreasonable younger sister who was trying to take her things.

Sigh... What should I do? This person is talking based on the assumption that Isabella is always right and we are always wrong, so I don't think he will listen to anything I say.

When I met Fernando's eyes, he shrugged with a look that said, "What can you do?"

Perhaps he has seen this side of Alvin many times before.

"Prince Alvin, I don't think it's fair to believe Isabella's words one-sidedly. I would like you to provide evidence that we are liars and Isabella is honest."

Here, should I state the truth? I don't think such a truth will get through to Alvin, who has been piling one fallacy on top of another from the start. No, perhaps Fernando knows that the truth won't get through and is stating it anyway.

After all, there is no way to prove who is the liar and who is the honest one. Alvin will surely get angry without being able to answer. Then, he probably intends to somehow make the agitated Alvin leave.

"The eyes! You can tell who is honest just by looking at their eyes!"

"―Huh!?"

"Who is the honest one? Hahaha, Isabella's beautiful eyes are undoubtedly those of a person with a pure heart. I can immediately tell who the liar is. There's no way such a beautiful and delicate Isabella could be a liar!"

With a clear and confident expression, Alvin fully endorsed Isabella. This is a bad pattern. There's no way this can turn into a discussion. After all, this person... thinks of Isabella...

"Wait? Do you like her? Does Your Highness like Isabella...?"

As I realized everything, Fernando straightforwardly asked Alvin. Alvin's face quickly turned red upon receiving the question. His face became as red as a ripe tomato.

"I, I, I don't like her! I don't like her at all! I, I, I have a fiancée named Laila!"

"Your voice is trembling."

Alvin, clearly flustered, revealed everything. He must be so flustered because his fiancée is Laila. Laila Nartoria, the third princess of the great Nartoria Kingdom, is known for her strong personality and her public declaration that she will never forgive traitors.

Therefore, if Alvin were to develop a close relationship with Isabella, it would quickly escalate into an international issue.

"Love is blind, as they often say. That's why you are so credulous of Isabella's stories."

"Shut up! You country bumpkin! You and the thief go well together!"

It's no use. Fernando's words don't get through. After receiving what seemed like an insulting remark from a friend, Fernando, who usually has a composed expression, showed a slightly sad face.

"I, I will protect Isabella! It's not out of romantic feelings... Isabella and I are not in that kind of relationship—"

"Prince Alvin! It's an emergency! There's an urgent message!"

"What? Noisy! I'm not in the mood for this..."

A soldier, drenched in sweat, entered the mansion. This must be a serious situation. As he listened to the soldier, his expression gradually turned pale.

"What! The information that Alvin and Isabella kissed multiple times at a party has reached Laila's ears!? No way! Ah...!"

"―Huh!?"

Alvin let out an incredible bombshell. Fernando and I were speechless, and Alvin looked regretful, as if he had let it slip. No, why did you shout? Everyone in the mansion heard it...

"Did you hear that, you two?"

Feeling a bit disrespectful, I slowly nodded to confirm Alvin's question, and Fernando sent a disdainful look to his old friend—Alvin, already at the end of his rope. This means Isabella is also...
