Kaifuku Shoku no Akuyaku Reijou - Chapter 3

My house is close to the royal castle since it takes less than 10 minutes by carriage to reach our mansion, and after passing through the gate, it just takes a few minutes to reach our mansion’s entry hall.

It’s a race against the clock from now on!

I dashed inside my room and stuffed my suitcase with cash and jewelry that I could sell.

After that, I removed my difficult-to-change dress and replaced it with the most plain dress I own. Even though it’s a simple dress, it’s nevertheless elegant.

As I muttered, I glanced around the room, which was styled with sepia and an aged rose tone, with pearl white serving as the basis hue. It’s fun just to stare at the opulent canopy beds, mediaeval European-style tables, and sofas in the subdued interior décor.

However, because this game is situated in a fictional universe, they aren’t exactly the same as the furnishings found in the planet from which I came.

“Oh, I forgot. I don’t have any time to idle around!”

If only I could find some healing potion to soothe the pain in my head. As I was thinking this, the door to my room burst open, and my parents entered.

“Charlotte, did something happen?”

“Aren’t you with His Highness Ignacia today?”

When they saw me packing my belongings they were taken aback. That’s understandable considering that they thought that I was still at the evening party with His Highness Ignacia. And usually, after a party, His Highness Ignacia gives me a ride home, but today that wasn’t the case.

I’m sure right now he’s doing great with Emilia.

My parents are Theodore Cocoliara and Angela Cocoliara.

Both of them are leading figures who are trying their best for this country, and they are individuals I admire. And because of that they have determined that it would be beneficial for this nation if I were to become engaged to His Highness Ignacia.

My father, like me, has white blonde hair the same as the color of milk tea, but because he’s a knight commander, he has a muscular body, or more accurately, a strong body. He’s also rather tall, standing at 180 centimeters.

Even though my mother no longer frequently attends evening parties, she is still a lovely lady. She is so lovely that she is known as the “flower of the social world”. Her deep rose-red hair sparkles like a jewel, and her proportions are so perfect that she would fascinate both men and women.

I pause for a second to consider what I would say to them, but I’m sure they’ll find out what occurred at the evening party even if I don’t tell it to them.

“His Highness Ignacia has broken off our engagement, and I’ve been exiled from this country; that’s why I’m leaving right now.”

That’s why I decided to tell them the truth.

I merely stated the facts about what had occurred; I did not bully the heroine, Emilia; and I decided that it would be best not to discuss anything else.

When my father found out what had happened, he reacted quickly.

“I see, so that prince said that to my sweet Charlotte, huh?”

My father, plainly enraged by His Highness Ignacia’s actions, is clasping his hands together and cracking his knuckles. Looking at him right now would be extremely frightening.

“My, what an undisciplined child he is.”

My mother shrugged her shoulders and let out a small sigh.

My mother didn’t appear as surprised as my father, so she might have expected something like this to happen to some extent. My mother appears to have accumulated a lot of information regarding this affair.

“I won’t tolerate this kind of absurdness! Matthew, get the horse ready right away! We’re going to the royal castle right now!”

“F… father!”

My father stormed out of the room while calling his butler, not noticing my call. He sprints away like a bear storming towards his prey, which is why he can’t be stopped right now.

My mother then chased after him, exclaiming, “Such a troublesome person.” My father had to have gone to see His Majesty the King in the royal castle.

“….”

There’s nothing else I can do if I think about it.

I couldn’t keep up with my father if he rode a horse. To begin with, if a knight commander became serious and mounted a horse, you could only count on your fingers on the number of knights that exist in this kingdom that could follow him. In that case, I suppose I won’t even need all of my fingers on both hands to count.

“I guess I should also leave now.”

After all, I’d already been exiled.

To be honest, I don’t need to leave just because His Highness Ignacia exiled me. Also, my parents went into the royal castle to speak with His Majesty the King about how to handle this problem, because no matter what, His Highness Ignacia is to blame.

Aside from the game scenario, there’s a good chance we’ll be able to reconcile, but I don’t want to be reunited with him.

To begin with, I despise that prince.

That’s why, I chose to leave this country in accordance with the game scenario.

If this is the otome game, right now the happy ending credits are now being displayed.

“But there’s no more scenario after the ending.”

That means I’m free to do whatever I want.

Right now, I want to go on a journey and see and enjoy the scenery of the world. I want to feel and experience every inch of this universe that I adore, which cannot be duplicated alone through VR.
