Extra 19 – The Otome Game will not Start

The Villainess Verbena and the Heroine Annabel.

ーーーーーーーーーー

It was a bright evening.

A small tea party held in Duke Richard Estate.

“—And then, His Highness was really angry at me.”

The one who spoke just now was the daughter of this house, Verbena.

She let out a big sigh after saying that.

“I bet that he is jealous. Maybe he doesn’t like that you get along with the son of the Anvil Family?”

At that time, calling Felix by his nickname triggered Freed’s wrath. She could see that he was in a bad mood and angry.

—-Felix, is the first son born from Violet’s friend, Licoris and Aubrey. In that game, he had the role of a ‘knight’ and one of the capture targets.

While Freed was the main male character to be conquered and the First Prince of this country.

Of course, the only ones who knew about these facts were Violet and Lily, and they never told anyone about it.

“… It’s not that I don’t understand Freed-sama’s feelings… I want His Highness to be more forward to me. Somehow, he is like my father.”

“Ara, Verbena’s father is also like that?”

“Yes. He was making a whim too much that Mother scolded him… Well, in the end they will get along again. What a troublesome couple.”

“My father loves my mother so much that he is having trouble for averting his eyes.”

It was like they understood how troubled each other were, and they put their cups back to the saucer, acting like an adult, although the ones who sat there were two 9-year-old girls who were not drinking black tea, but milk tea instead.

“Verbena also has through a lot, becoming the Prince’s fiance.”

Waving her reddish-blonde hair, the girl called Annabel lowered her eyebrows. She looked really worried.

Basically, she looked pretty just like her mother, however, may be due to the environment where she grew, her behavior was like a grown-up.

“But His Highness is getting better now, you know. It was even worse in the beginning.”

Verbena whose red hair inherited from her grandmother squinted her amber eyes which shade is just like her mother and looked outside the window.

As she could feel it, she was having a hardship that was not supposed to be a young girl’s problem. 

For information, the engagement between Verbena and the Prince happened just recently.

However, she had known the Prince since she was three years old. Three years had passed since the official talk began until the engagement was concluded.

The Prince who from the beginning was arrogant and rascal, 5 years had passed and now he was becoming a better person. That was what she hoped for.

Compared to the beginning, she felt that the words he used were more rounded up now. It was still a little bit stiff, but at least they were able to make a conversation.

“I wonder if all princes are like that. It seems that Father used to be a prince, but he is not like the princes in the storybooks at all.”

“You can’t say that unconditionally. His Majesty Albert is a very kind and amazing person. It’s just like the one in the storybooks!”

Annabel agreed with Verbena’s previous statement and said, “His Majesty Albert is perfect” as she made a satisfied expression.

“I want to enter the academy quickly! Annabel is going to the academy too, aren’t you?”

“Yes. It is decided that I will study abroad here! In order to get into the same class as Verbena, I am studying very hard.”

“I too want Annabel in the same class as me… I wonder if there are poison and picking classes in the academy.”

“Unfortunately, there are not. It seems that the ladies were having those classes in secrecy. That was what Mother said.”

“I see…”

For her, the poison and picking courses were really fun, and she was very disappointed that she won’t have it in the academy.

(Emma-sensei said that both Mother and Anna-sama have very high skills. I need to work hard as well.)

The moment when Verbena looked down as she drank her milk tea, Annabel followed suit.

“Ladies, do you want some madeleines?”

There was a maid who was pushing a wagon towards them.

The sweet smell was filling the room, and the two girls were shining their eyes.

“Sara, I want some! Annabel too, please eat as much as you like.”

“Thank you. I am really happy I am able to eat madeleines as well when I come here.”

Sara, who was smiling brightly, put some madeleines onto their plates.

It was like looking at Violet and the others when they were still little and it made her heart warm.

Verbena, the daughter of the Duke, and Annabel, the daughter of the former prince of the neighboring country, were meeting frequently since they were little.

They were very close like sisters. Every time they were together, they were always giggling and laughing and never ceased to smile.

“Three more years, and I can meet Annabel every day.”

“Yes. I wonder if I will live in the same dorm as Verbena.”

“Having one room together sounds good.”

“… That is a wonderful idea! When I go home, I will ask Father about it!”

“I will ask as well.”

As they were looking at each other, their hands entwined together and smiles were shown on both faces.

Looking forwards towards the growth of these two girls, Anna pushed the wagon and went out off the room.

Three years had passed. They successfully reunited in the academy and just like their fathers once did, they were given special rooms and spent their academy life together.

In order to take the place of the Prince’s fiance, Verbena and Annabel’s battle took place —- Such a story like the otome game would never be deployed. In contrast, the prince was jealous of Felix and Annabel, and everybody around Verbena as she never looked at him.
