Translated by Momo & edited by Mary!
Oscar Abel Prospere.
He is the prince of this country and the fiance of the Duke’s daughter, Cecilia Silvy.
Vivid red hair and eyes sharp as blades. Although he isn’t bad looking, he exudes a cold and intimidating aura at first glance. He has long and elegant limbs, and an air of royalty surrounds him.
(Wow. I came across a dangerous scene …)
Cecilia crouched down so that they couldn’t find her.
This is Leanne and Oscar’s first romantic event.
It’s a scene where the confused Leanne and Oscar, the prince, meet in the courtyard.
“I think we have a difficult responsibility, but let’s do our best together. At least I believe you are more suitable for the Saint role than Cecilia. Your semblance while fighting adversities without turning away from the painful reality is beautiful. “
Oscar would deliver these words of encouragement to a bewildered Leanne.
(Oscar loved Leanne from the beginning, so he hated Cecilia more than anyone else…)
Cecilia was an unexpected fiancée and the biggest enemy that disturbed his relationship with Leanne. Even though they’re engaged, he absolutely hates her.
On the other hand, Cecilia yearned for Oscar and kept harming Leanne because of jealousy. Those actions crossed Oscar’s bottom line and Cecilia was imprisoned and executed.
Actually, the sequence of “Making Leanne suffer, being imprisoned, and going to be executed” appeared frequently throughout Oscar’s route and also in the other character’s scenarios. But most of the time, it’s indeed Oscar that sends Cecilia to the execution grounds.
Even when Leanne ended up with someone else, he kept thinking about her. What kind of pure love is that? All the same, Cecilia continued to be hated by Oscar on any route.
(For me, that doesn’t want to be involved with Oscar at all, this event is especially bad …)
According to how this romance event goes on, Cecilia actually interrupts them.
She suddenly appears in front of them amidst a good atmosphere. Then she promptly slaps Leanne’s cheek.
“How dare you look at my fiance like that, you wench!!”
Oscar dismissed the angered Cecilia saying “I’m truly disappointed in you” and leaves while taking Leanne by the hand. Bothered by this, Cecilia starts to despise Leanne even more.
This event will be mentioned several instances later, and when Cecilia is accused unjustly, it will be used as proof of ill conduct since “A wretched woman who’s capable of such foul act must be a criminal”.
(Okay! I must flee from here!)
If she stayed there and casually disturbed this event, Cecil may follow the same path as Cecilia in the game, even though she’s crossdressing.
Cecilia stood up slowly, bending down a little.
However, the next moment, the cat in her arms jumped out.
“Gah!”
The kitten used Cecilia’s head as stepping and jumped towards Leanne and Oscar.
Cecilia ended up falling on her back in surprise.
“Wha-!”
“Aaaah!”
Cecilia, with her back on the hedge as support, body bent like a bridge, stared at them with an overturned gaze.
(What did I do…)
The kitten nestled in Leanne’s arms and let out a “Meeeow”.
“…Were you eavesdropping now?”
Oscar looks down at Cecilia with a cold stare, making her whole body tremble. He must be annoyed at the intruder who disturbed his date with Leanne.
At this point, Oscar’s affections to Leanne should be 80% full.
Just give away the ‘treasure’ if you like her so much!
Well, that’s just what Cecilia wished for, but there’s a game-specific mechanism for that, so it’s no good.
“Ahaha… I just happened to fall asleep under the shade of that tree there …”
“…Haaa…”
Oscar rolled his eyes hearing that lame excuse.
Of course, he didn’t believe it. Things are getting dangerous.
“Cecil, are you okay?”
It was Leanne who helped Cecil get up with an angelic smile.
Even if she usually doesn’t want to get involved with the protagonist, the absolute zero arctic wind blowing from the other person here, is making her smile look like a warm comfortable ray of sunshine.
“Thank you.”
“Even though you’re always so cool, Cecil, you also have this clumsy part of you. Somehow it makes you more approachable!“
"Is that so?”
“…………”
(The arctic wind! The gaze from the embodiment of the arctic winds is ominous!!)
Oscar stared at Cecilia so much it might have formed a hole somewhere. Though his line of sight looks like it’s more observing rather than glaring.
It’s not gentle at all, but it doesn’t look like he’s frowning either.
(Wha-what!? Is he wondering “What kind of guy is approaching my Leanne?!”)
“A-ah, I’m going back. I’m sorry I disturb-“
“If you don’t mind, can I talk to Cecil? Actually, I’ve always wanted to know more about Cecil. Maybe Oscar would like to join us?”
”…That’s okay.“
(This kind of answer doesn’t sound okay at all!!)
“L-let’s leave that to another opportunity! See ya!!!"
Cecilia hurriedly left the place to escape from the gust of chills she was getting from Oscar’s stare.
After Cecilia left, the remaining two looked at each other.
"He really left. I wanted to talk a little more …”
“That’s right. Anyway, that face, I saw it somewhere before…”
Oscar seemed to be deeply thinking about something while stroking his chin.
At that time, the kitten that was in Leanne’s embrace shouted another “Meoooow” and jumped off her. Then, the handkerchief wrapped around its foot came off and fluttered in the air.
“It seems like Cecil was looking after this kitten earlier. Oh? I think it’s injured …”
"Looks like he made a bandage with the handkerchief. Since it can be taken off this easily, it would be better to put on a proper compress and disinfect the wound. Wait. This handkerchief–”
Oscar picked up the cloth that was previously wrapped around the cat’s leg and frowned. He remembered something.
“That guy… is it possible…”
Oscar looked in the direction Cecilia had left with a scrunched up bitter expression.
