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

Chapter 17

17. Ulysses' Trap (Before)

　At the beginning of the week, no one spoke openly, but the school was full of rumors about Miss Ulysses.
　That should be it. Because she is always surrounded by her three noble sons, who are nothing more than a baron's daughter from her region.
　Son of Marquis Luke Enhunt, son of Marquis Raphael Marshall, son of Count Edward Norden. Chancellor of the royal palace, top magician, son of the Knight Commander. A future royal aide promised a bright future.
　As expected of the "Star Maiden", there are those who say it with admiration, and there are those who frown, wondering what kind of technique they used.
　
　――However, Miss Ulysses’ expression is not so bright.
　Haunted by her three sons, she is seen from afar, and no one approaches her. She would avoid a baron's daughter who had three aristocratic sons attend her if she had a normal sense.
　It seems that there are some young ladies who admire Miss Ulysse, but because they have received an aristocratic education, they are sensitive to people's curiosity and antipathy, and do not want to be willing to join that circle. . It's a situation where even Miss Ulysses can't talk to her.
　
　There are probably other reasons for Miss Ulysses' tight smile.
　As I was passing by, I was pricking up my ears when I heard Raphael whispering with an enraptured expression, "I want you to receive the magic of my new work... of course, just the two of us." I could hear it, so it seems that he is trying to persuade Miss Ulysse with the same tension he has towards me.
　The corners of Miss Ulysse's mouth twitched and trembled as she appeared to be dodging while smiling. She has a completely "I caught a bad guy" face.
　Edward and Luke are also softly admonishing him, but they are probably reluctant on the inside. Raphael and Miss Ulysse cannot be left alone. That's why all three of us end up sticking together like this.
　And the other students don't approach. If you don't get close, the effect of the blessing of "Charm" is weak.
　Rafael's strategic victory... huh? that's true? Let me think so.
　
　Miss Ulysse should be impatient with the current situation.
　According to the novel, the harassment from Elizabeth must have worsened during this period. However, far from aggravating her, Elizabeth did not harass her, and she said that she would protect Miss Ulysse even if the other ladies complained about her.
　Looking from the surroundings, Miss Ulysse may be a ''Star Maiden'', but Elizabeth is not a villainess.
　
　Three months until the coming-of-age party.
　It's both our time limit and our grace period. Nothing decisive will happen until the day of the party. The other side also has no choice but to entrust it to Miss Ulysse's work.
　If we can find evidence that Duke Dorroid is involved in this matter before the party, we win.
　
　Now then, I hope that by making Miss Ulysse impatient, she will be able to take out her rags.

　I thought that if Miss Ulysse moved, it would probably be aimed at me first, so I decided to spend after school in the classroom where Miss Ulysse and Edward had previously caught me. She's been avoiding me lately because she doesn't want to see me, but she can't say that anymore.
　Harold, who was standing by his side, was silently shaking his hands. Is it the image training of the capture when Miss Ulysse tried to touch me?
　Since I had some free time, I whispered about Elizabeth.
　
"Once this case is settled, I'm going to go to the circus with Elizabeth."
"Your Highness, that is an ominous curse (death flag)."
"What about you and that girl?"
　
　The identity of the other party has not been investigated because of this commotion. Or rather, all of my hands and feet are under Harold's breath, so I have to start by finding the spy. And don't let Harold find out.
　When I asked, Harold's expressionless face changed into a Noh-mask-like face—in other words, a face that seemed to freeze even more of the emotions that weren't there.
　
“…From His Highness, I am able to see the face of the person I am thinking of.”
"Say something that touches your heart with the minimum number of characters."
　
　I felt sorry for myself waiting for Miss Ulysse to appear in an empty classroom, so I kept my mouth shut. Originally, the time I spent with Elizabeth was omitted below.
　Let's stop talking about this for a while.
　
　
　After waiting for several days, Miss Ulysse jumped in as expected.
　
　
＊＊＊
　
　　
　The one who came in accompanied by Miss Ulysse was the young lady who had called Elizabeth from her room for a study session. She looked down, her back hunched over, and she didn't have the cheerfulness she had at that time.
　I was also me, Brutus, you too... I was shocked.
　Appearing like this at this timing means that she has taken Miss Ulysse's side.
　
“His Highness, there is something I want to tell you.”
　
　Out of consideration for Harold, Miss Ulysse didn't even call me by name, and she didn't even run up to me.
　The young lady who was brought here bent her knees in front of me, put her hands together in front of her chest, and fixed her eyes on my shoes.
　This is the posture when making a statement to a superior.
　Miss Ulysses put her hand on his shoulder to encourage him――the effect of 《Charm》 must have increased.
　
“I would like to express my sincere apologies to His Highness the Crown Prince.”
"forgive"
　
　I don't really want to hear it, but if you answer while thinking.
　
“I was the one who damaged Ulysse-sama’s personal belongings.
　
　A single tear streamed down his cheek as he spoke with a trembling voice.
