Although Sir Will was stabbed in the stomach by Charlotte with a knife, he possesses some special skills.

And fortunately, the poison didn't work, but it was still a serious wound.

After I healed his wound, Sir Will knelt down on the spot.

"My apologies. I was careless and caused you trouble. I will pay for this with my life!"

His knife was about to reach for the carotid artery, so I hurriedly stopped him. He looked very serious.

"Please wait! It is not Sir Will's fault."

He was knocked unconscious, but when he tried to capture Charlotte just in case, he was caught off guard. Such things are unpredictable.

"But ......"

"If you want to make amends, be my knight."

When Chris asked him to be her knight, Sir Will looked puzzled.

"Why me?"

"I was just in trouble because my guard knight had fallen ill from exhaustion. If you want to remain an escort knight for my brother, I won't force you to do so, but ......"

The knight escort of Chris had collapsed from old wounds.

"I am honored. But I must say goodbye to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so I ask for a little more time."

In the past, he would have refused, but I guess he had already given up on His Highness the Crown Prince.

Suddenly, my eyes met with the Crown Prince's.

The Crown Prince, who originally was drooping his head, is now staring at me, his cheeks flushed.

"...... Rio. You have light magic? Why did you hide it?"

The fiancee of my pre-return of time approached me with wobbly steps.

"I knew you were the one I was meant to be with."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have still not gotten over Charlotte's skills.

He probably thinks that his destined partner is someone with light magic.

"That's not true, Your Highness the Crown Prince. My destiny is ......."

I went to stand by Leon.

"Leon."

"Why? Leon is only a nobleman, even though he is the adopted son of the Prime Minister. But if you become my wife, you can become a queen in the future. Yes, that's right. I will not take a second queen. Only you, I swear."

I let out a deep sigh.

I thought he was different from the Crown Prince before the time reversal, but it seems that he has not changed in essence.

"His Royal Highness still hasn't awakened from Charlotte's skill, it seems. He seems confused."

Father said, telling His Majesty the King that he would leave his treatment to him, so I had nothing more to say to him.

Pulling Leon by the arm, I turned to walk away from the scene.

"Wait! Rio!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chased after me, but my brother and Sir Will stood in his way and stopped him.

"Sieg! Will! Get out of the way!"

The Crown Prince attempted to get between them, but he was unable to do so.

"I beg you to stop messing around with my sister."

"Sieg. What are you ......talking about?"

"You're ...... no. I've been thinking that if you are going to be a great crown prince, I would be willing to serve you as a friend and a vassal with all my heart. However, I'm disappointed in you for being so easily tricked by that girl and falling for her skills. You are no longer my friend, and I am no longer your vassal."

I thought that Big brother was only friendly with His Highness the Crown Prince on the surface. But as he watched him become involved in national politics as the crown prince, he was willing to become a true friend.

How painful it must have been to watch the Crown Prince so closely as he fell victim to Charlotte's skills.

"I didn't fall victim to that girl's skill because I liked it either!"

"That's right. Charlotte's skill is not something you can resist even if you try."

"That's right! You also fell victim to her skill, didn't you?"

The color of disappointment on my brother's face intensified.

"I didn't. Charlotte's skill didn't work on me."

"How is that possible?"

"I'm not the only one," he said, "It's not just me, Sir Will too, and a few others were not affected by Charlotte's skill."

"But most of them were affected by her skill, weren't they? Isn't it strange that you blame only me?"

The crown prince's face was full of pride. Did you think that was a good argument?

"You are not simply one of them. You are the crown prince of a country."

The Crown Prince was taken aback.

After all, he is indeed the crown prince of this country.

He should have been wary of someone with charm skills.

He should have taken some countermeasures like His Majesty the King.

But he let his guard down.

And this was the result.

"But I ......"

"Don't embarrass me any further! Richard!"

An angry shout came from the throne.

The voice echoed well in the spacious ballroom.

One whose voice was similar to Chris's--- the queen's.

"How badly do you want to hurt the royal family!"

The queen stepped down from her throne and came to the Crown Prince.

"Mo, mother ......."

The queen grabbed the Crown Prince firmly by the bosom.

"Oh, dear? Beatrice has lost her temper."

The Queen Mother clasped her hands together and chanted, "Kuwabara, Kuwabara, Kuwabara."

Incidentally, "Kuwabara Kuwabara" is a word from the country of Hinoshima.

It is like a spell to avoid disasters, but when the queen is angry, she is scary.

The queen's anger is truly a disaster for His Highness the Crown Prince.

"You spent the people's blood money like bathwater for the sake of such a girl's gift, and abandoned the Crown Prince's duties to play around!"

"But ...... mother. It was because of her skill. It was not my intention."

It sounded like a child's excuse.

"But that doesn't change what you did! A fool like you does not deserve the position of Crown Prince!”

The queen was on the verge of slapping the Crown Prince.

"Christina!"

"Yes! Mother!"

Chris's voice was more nervous than ever.

"Richard will step down from the Crown Prince position. I will appoint you as the Crown Princess instead, and you can start your preparations tomorrow."

Although I had expected it, it seemed that the Crown Prince would not be given a chance to reform.

"What is your reply?"

The queen stared at Chris with a sharp glare.

"I will do as mother says. As you commanded, mother."

Chris straightened her posture and curtsied.

"Richard," she said. "You will be given the dukedom of Lioness after you graduate from the Magic Academy. Your future task will be to rebuild that withered land."

The Crown Prince turned away in frustration and nodded a small "yes."

Originally, the answer to the question of how to deal with the Crown Prince must have come after consulting with His Majesty the King.

The queen, who lost her temper, quickly decided to give him the final verdict. ......

It is often said, "A mother is strong."

After that, I was repeatedly apologized to by His Majesty the King and the Queen, and by the time I finally returned home, it was almost dawn.

On my way home from the royal palace, Sir Will stopped me and handed me a small white pendant.

It was the pendant with Sylphy-sama's scales that I had given to Therese-san.

"Sir Will. What's this?"

"Please return it to the Dragon God Tribe."

"How did you get it back from Charlotte?"

"I slipped it out of her pocket before the ball began."

"You stole it from her?"

When I gave him a skeptical look, Sir Will hurriedly waved his hand.

'No, no. I did not steal it!"

He explained that he merely confiscated the property of the guilty party, but isn't this a misappropriation of the confiscated property?

"How did you know it was in her pocket, then?"

"Because I saw her take it out of her pocket and look at it before."

Charlotte always kept this pendant in her pocket in a jasmine sachet.

I wasn't sure, but I wondered if this belonged to one of the Dragon Gods. ......

I chuckled.

"Thank you very much. I am sure that Sylphy-sama and Ron-sama will be pleased."

With the exception of Kikuno-sama and Leon, the gods should have already returned to their homes to prepare for a feast or rather a celebration.

"And how about the tie pin of His Highness Richard? I believe it is made of the same material. ......"

"Please return it to His Highness Richard ....... I am sure it will be of use to him."

Although it has not been officially announced, he has since been deposed as Crown Prince and his title has changed.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Ron-sama and Sylphy-sama didn't mention anything about a tiepin."

"I understand."

Sir Will and Chris saw us off and our family left the palace.

TL: Wow the Crown Prince...was a disappointment.... Anyway happy reading and hope you enjoyed~!
