(MTL) It seems that the fiancée who is in love will be turned into a villainess

Chapter 6

6. Investigation start

　The weekend I spent with Elizabeth blew holes in my soft, delicate heart, but it was still rewarding.
　I am convinced that Edward's behavior is suspicious.
　The fact that he didn't attack Elizabeth and the other ladies around him shows that Edward still has some sense of reason, but with Miss Ulysse he seemed completely irrational.
　Even when I complained about Miss Ulysse's misfortune, a normal Edward would have asked me about my intentions. A true knight will never go against the will of a superior. He first confirms his intention and then moves.
　Besides, Edward, you touched Miss Ulysse as hard as you could. I can't imagine that overly aggressive behavior from a serious chivalrous man.
　
　
　And so, the day after my meeting with Elizabeth, I called out――.
　
"Yo-ho☆ I never thought I'd hear from you~"
"I will cut off your head for blasphemy, Raphael-dono."
"Sorry sorry, I'm so happy"
　
　Before Raphael, who had spread his arms as soon as we met, was restrained by Harold before he could touch me. Raphael lowered his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders at Harold, who threw harsh words at him while releasing him.
　No matter how close the relationship is, it is forbidden to contact the royal family without meaning.
　Especially if you're someone like Raphael, who has the qualifications of a 《Magician》.
　
　Raphael's father is also my magic tutor. Raphael was one year older than me, and when he was little, he was brought to the royal palace with his tutor, and was often made to compete with me. Of course, Rafael, who has a lot of practice opportunities, passed me in no time.
　Because of that kind of upbringing, Raphael, despite being the son of a family that had a master-servant relationship with Edward, treated me with frankness that bordered on being disrespectful, and Harold hated him a little.
　
"I won't go near you anymore"
　
　This time, he exaggeratedly distanced himself, stepped back to the wall, and winked at Harold.
　
"What did you call me for?"
　
　It's hard to talk about this, but I'm reluctant to get too close, so I'll just keep talking.
　I guess I'm putting up a barrier without knowing anyway. Rafael is a man who has a sharp eye for such things.
　
"Edward looks strange."
"Haa, that's what I'm worried about. He's the kind of person who boils down his words to a homunculus."
"I don't understand your analogy as usual..."
"So, you want me to find the cause?"
“As expected of a quick talk. Do you know Miss Ulysse?
"You're Miss Ulysse Merrifield, aren't you? I know!"
　
　Rafael, whose face suddenly shines, raises both hands and cheers.
　Hmmm, as one would expect from a rare witch and a rare woman lover. Rafael, who has her purple long hair tied around her shoulders and wears a monocle to adjust her magical power, seems to be popular with women because of her intellectual appearance. In front of me, she's exposed to the elements of her rotten relationship, but she's a decent answerer at school, so she probably wears a cat to the extent that she doesn't spoil her appearance.
　If you know Miss Ulysse, it's too early to talk about it.
　
"I really wanted to talk to you once! But you definitely don't like it, do you?"
"You know all too well, don't you?"
　
　Really, Raphael would be perfect as a future aide if he could fix his sloppy tone.
　
“If you give me permission, I will try to find out anything about Miss Ulysse… Fufufu, I’m looking forward to it.”
"I'm begging you, just stay away from Elizabeth."
"I know that too. I would like to meet Elizabeth once, but I wonder if it will be at your wedding celebration.
"K-marriage...!"
　
　The unexpected words brought back Elizabeth's smile from yesterday, and her cheeks became hot. Rafael spotted such a change in me, and she smiled with a hint of "Oyaoya♡".
　Behind him, Harold let out a big, disrespectful sigh.
　
“Do you have any clues? Nothing?
　
　I shook my head sideways and then upright, watching Raphael turn around and take an awkward bow before I finally caught my breath.
　Elizabeth's shy smile, I think it was played 10,000 times last night, but it still has a high destructive power.
　After seeing Raphael off, Harold returned with a glass in his hand. He silently drinks what is offered to him.
　The chilled water permeates my hot body. good.
　
“That’s right, Harold.
"What?"
"First read through this and--"
　
　Saying that, I handed over the [Otsusei]. Harold bowed with both hands. Even this is a gift from the Crown Prince.
　
“Also, I read it again yesterday and realized that the author is probably related to a noble family.”
　
　Before doing it to Harold, I read it again, and it was something I understood.
　The reason why this book was received by nobles was because the characters who resembled me and Elizabeth felt real, but besides that, there were many detailed descriptions that only nobles would know.
　The situation in the school and the coming-of-age party where the heroine and the crown prince condemn their fiancée are written in detail as if they had seen it. It's impossible for a commoner to write this just by imagining it. Unless he or someone close to him has actually lived in the Royal Academy.
　
"Try to find the author's identity from that line. If by any chance this was written by a noble—"
“Don’t close your eyes.
　
　Originally, I thought that commoners would have added an extravagant setting to sell their novels. However, if it was written by an aristocrat with the intention of demeaning the royal family, it cannot be left unattended.
　Also, what if someone deliberately popularizes this novel, not just to demean it, and tries to tear me and Elizabeth apart according to the scenario?
　I need you to show me that I would be better off dead, so that no one else would feel that way.
　
"I think it's going to break my bones, but I'm begging you."
"will"
　
　At that time, I think I represented the personality of a king. He had icy flames in his eyes, ruthlessly slaughtering enemies who dared his kingdom.
　Harold bent his knees and bowed his head.
　
　
　――Who would have predicted that?
　It's so grandiose that you discover the author by chance the next week.
