The Crown Prince’s Fiancée - Chapitre 4

Quoi, qu'est-ce que c'est. Am I in danger of dying again?

······No matter how I looked at him, it seemed like that was the case.

“What are you thinking just now?"

“Ah······ That, erm······ That is······.”

I couldn’t possibly tell him that I feel sorry for his fiancée, droite?

As I groaned and couldn’t speak properly, the Prince drew his hand on the sheath of his sword.

“Do you want to leave this world?"

"Non, I was thinking about something entirely different!"

On my excuse, the prince’s expression hardened.

Even though I didn’t know what it was, it seemed that I had firmly gone against his favor this time.

“How dare you think of something different while I was in front of you, it seemed that you really like to perish from this world?"

"S'il te plaît, épargne-moi! J'ai eu tort!"

“We’ll see about that.”

Close to killing me. Terni, who was watching us from the side, intervened.

“Adrian, stop making fun of her~.”

You call that making fun?

pourtant, the prince only pretended to hear Terni’s words.

I stared at the prince’s hand still placed near the sheath. I was so terrified, worrying he would pull it out soon.

If he picks it up, I’ll definitely die. Zut. je ne veux pas mourir! I haven’t achieved my dream of buying my own house yet!

As I looked at the prince with a nervous expression, he sighed coldly.

“Repeat what I had just said.”

“Ah······.”

As I was so deep into my thoughts, I couldn’t possibly have heard what the prince had just said.

Ah, so this is how my life ends.

Looking for some hope, I glanced at the people standing behind Prince Adrian.

Two men were standing behind the prince side by side.

One was a man with pink hair and green eyes. It was a hair color that reminded me of the rose stone I saw back in the days.

The light green eyes stared at me carelessly as if they weren’t least bit interested in what’s happening in front of him.

Après tout, the rumor that the prince’s close knight, Diano, only knew swordsmanship, seemed to be true.

And next to him stood Terni, the man who calls himself my brother.

I looked at them hoping to catch even a little bit of alms of help when Terni’s and my eyes met.

Frère, please help me once more like you did earlier······. Are you just going to let this man send your younger sister to the underworld?

pourtant, Terni only looked at me with a smile on his face and took no action.

······Yes, I think he will.

How did I get involved in this damn freaking family?

In the fierce eyes of the prince who looked at me, I felt like I would melt away anytime soon. That’s why I knew my life was at stake.

Devant lui, I tried guessing what exactly he said earlier. But nothing came to mind.

Bien sûr! I haven’t heard anything, that’s why I won’t be able to think of a single thing!

Merde! I’m dead now!

“I haven’t heard of an answer yet.”

The prince’s voice sounds irritated.

Par inadvertance, he lifted his head slightly and glanced at Terni, who seemed to mutter something.

Que dit-il? I looked and focused on the shape of his mouth.

Ge······ What?

“Have you forgotten how to speak?"

Stunned from the prince’s cold words, I nervously spat out.

“Ge······ Gay?"

"Quoi? De quoi diable parles-tu?"

Zut. Isn’t he saying the word gay?

Hâtivement, the prince turned his head and looked towards Terni. He was sinking slowly, and laughing silently in his place.

It must have been on purpose for that human being to humiliate me.

It’s alright to have little fun in your everyday life, but can’t you just think of something that doesn’t put my life at stake?

The prince quietly drew his sword.

I threw my pride and begged to live.

"Je suis désolé! J'ai tort! S'il vous plaît épargnez-moi!"

But the Prince laughed sharply as if he couldn’t hear my begging voice.

“Even though I have given the opportunity so many times.”

Wow, lies······.

To lie without wasting saliva in your mouth. I have never been given a chance!

I wanted to argue that, mais malheureusement, I value my life.

I held back my fear and looked up at the prince nervously.

"Je n'ai pas entendu ce que tu as dit. "Mais reste

“What’s the use of your ears?"

"Droit, these ears were so useless······. Maybe it’s just for decoration······.”

I scolded myself, accepting the prince’s words.

“I dare not listen to the dignified voice of His Majesty the Crown Prince. It’s all my fault······.”

I was mourning for my life that would soon disappear, but the prince turned around and gave Terni a glance.

“Everything will be useless because she’s this stupid. I think we’ll get caught soon.”

“But it’s still better than nothing!"

Something struck me upon hearing the lively answer. The prince said that more than his mother-in-law, he hated his sister-in-law more who just watched and didn’t prevent her mother from beating him most of the time. It was exactly those words.

That asshole!

He said he was my brother, yet he was pushing me into the limits of this mean dog.

If I die this way, it seems so shameful to tell my parents in heaven the reason of my demise.

I held back my fear and looked up at the prince grudgingly.

The prince didn’t seem to shake his hand off his sword.

“Still I think she has some wits in her.”

Diano, the pink-haired man who was just watching the whole situation silently, intervened.

He didn’t seem interested in me, though I was puzzled by the sudden mediation, still I was grateful that my life had been extended.

From what this man had done up to this time, it was obvious that he was a follower of the prince.

This was because every time the prince would say or do something, his eyes would brighten and would keenly observe.

The prince stared at Diano with an unpleasant expression on his face.

“Are you rebelling now?"

"Non. I won’t dare refute your highness’ words.”

"Tu viens de faire. Refute.”

"N-Non, je n'ai pas. Your highness······.”

At least he tried to help, though it was useless. outre, I was already in a corner.

Mince. There were enemies everywhere. It seemed that if these humans couldn’t kill me, they would live their lives unhappily.

je ne veux pas mourir, Mom······.

But looking at the situation, it seemed that today would be my memorial day.

Then Terni, while watching the situation, laughed suspiciously.

"Votre Majesté. Are you really going to marry ‘that woman’?"

Whether he said honorifics or plain words, Terni used a grotesque tone as he said those words.

“Do you want to die too?"

"Oops, Pardon."

Terni quickly shut his mouth.

D'ailleurs, who the hell is ‘that woman’? Even when I came on the errand of Princess Marie, I could only remember hearing that she was called the prince’s ‘woman’.

Malheureusement, they seemed to have no intention of explaining to me. I started thinking hard to myself, who is the person involved as the prince’s attention was immediately distracted just by the mention of that person.

Or fortunately, is it that the topic of our discussion has already changed from ‘my death’ to ‘the woman’? I was very glad thinking of that fact alone.

Please stop bullying me.

While having a conversation between them, Diano suddenly turned to me.

“The princess was looking for this maid. She sent her on an errand to your majesty, but she didn’t come back.”

Diano’s expression was serious.

J'ai fait. I had an errand to pass on to his Majesty the Prince.

pourtant, my existence disappeared from this world, and now I have the name of ‘Athena Sheville Tabatha Oviedo’.

If I was just an average person, I might be happy that my status was suddenly lifted, mais je n'étais pas.

What’s the use of rising on status when I’m always on the verge of death!

Didn’t I cross the hurdle of dying many times just for today alone?

“I told you to tell her she died.”

“Who would believe that? Only stupid people would believe that lame excuse.”

“Then take care of it yourself, properly.”

The Crown Prince waved his hands at Diano and Terni, seemingly annoyed.

It seems that I’m the only one who could really take care of myself.

"Ah, you’re making me do something difficult again.”

You’re all making me do something difficult too.

Terni made an expression that he was really frustrated, but soon as he made eye contact with me, his original smiley expression returned.

Dans les deux cas, I couldn’t get into this conversation. The subject of the conversation is me, but I was being left out completely.

I was more than satisfied with that fact, when Diano opened his mouth out of nowhere.

"Votre Majesté. If you’re going to kill her, I think it’s best to execute your plan quickly so that we could also immediately clean up.”

I have to sew that mouth. Why is that bastard suddenly taking another’s life?

He said he noticed my wits before, but now he suddenly wants to kill me.

je ne veux pas mourir! I really want to live!

But the voice inside my heart didn’t seem to be heard by anyone. I looked at Prince Adrian’s face to see if he would really continue with his plan.

“What the hell is that nonsense this time.”

My expression brightened at the words of the prince. Heureusement, he didn’t seem to want to kill me immediately.

Pour la première fois, it seems that our hearts connected.

The prince stared at Diano with a voice full of irritation.

“Then are you going to marry that crazy girl?"

"Votre Majesté. There are things that can and cannot be said. How can you say such harsh words······.”

Who the hell is this crazy woman that Diano has a shock and horror expression on his face?

Même le duc a été rejeté! Diano’s face was charcoal black as if he had heard something he really didn’t want to hear.

You could see that he was really terrified at first glance which means he sincerely hates that crazy woman.

Soon he shook his head down and held his head. He seemed extremely distressed.

“······I’d rather die.”

"Non, you don’t need to die.”

Comme c'est envieux. This damn prince keeps saying he’ll kill me even if I beg him I wanted to live.

A sudden question popped out inside my head as I was listening to their conversation. I watched them quietly for a bit, then took advantage of the silence and opened my mouth.

"D'ailleurs, your highness······ Do you really need to have a fiancée?"
