"why……"

Katrina-sama in front of me looks more haggard than the last time I met her at school. Her hair is matted and untied, and she has it loosely pulled down, creating a distinct dark circle under her eyes. Her eyes, which she hasn't seen in months, have lost their previous luster and look dark and cloudy.

No way…….

Looking at Katrina-sama's current appearance, it's hard to imagine how she used to be, with her shiny blond hair tightly wrapped, her make-up firmly applied, and her posture always upright and elegantly fanning her fan.

Is this really the daughter of Marquis Katrina Higgins?

Whether knowing my thoughts or not, Katrina-sama in front of me raises the corners of her mouth to make her smile like she used to. However, since its appearance has changed completely, it looks unrealistic.

"Oh! I was looking forward to seeing you."
"Dear Katrina..."
“I think I have to apologize to you. It's strange, because I'm supposed to be His Highness's fiancé, and I'm the future Queen.
Hey, is it your fault? His Highness didn't come to see me. The reason I'm being treated in such a humiliating way."
"Katrina"

Katrina-sama spoke so fast that she couldn't even catch her breath. Her appearance is truly insane, and she can't feel her previous appearance as a young lady.

It's like this. Doesn't it seem like your heart... is broken?

That proud Katrina-sama.
Katrina-sama, who always had a dignified and beautiful smile.

Now, with only a smile on her lips, she continues to say "Future Queen" and "His Highness's Fiancee" over and over again.
I'm sure that was all Katrina-sama believed.

She must have loved him from the bottom of her heart.
I don't think it worked that way. But in my last life, all I wanted was that position. But what Lady Katrina wanted was Her Highness herself. Both now and in the past, what she wanted more than anything else was probably a place where she could be the closest to Her Highness.

I can painfully understand Katrina-sama's desire for His Highness.
I also love His Highness from the bottom of my heart.
Still, I can't understand Katrina-sama, who ignores His Highness's feelings, thinks that being by His Highness's side is everything, and that alone is the value of a queen.

For me, to love His Highness is to respect Him.
Because I think it's about cherishing what he cherishes together, protecting it with care, and wishing for his happiness.
I absolutely cannot accept the kind of forced love that ignores His Highness' heart.

"You're wrong. You're not going to do what I want."
"Because I'm not Katrina's puppet. Your Highness is also not a tool to fill Katrina's heart."
"You! What are you doing to me!"

Perhaps because she felt that her feelings for His Highness were denied, a strong flame of hatred against me dwells in the depths of Katrina-sama's dark eyes.
However, I looked straight at that line of sight and took a deep breath. Contrary to her bewilderment, his mind clears up and she gradually regains her composure.

"Katrina Higgins. Do you know who you are pointing your sword at now?"

At my words, Katrina's expression hardened as if she had been caught in the void, and she let out a voice, "Huh?"
It's as if he didn't expect me to object.

"I'm Rachelle Marcel.
The fiancée of His Highness the Crown Prince of this country. In other words, do you understand that the royal family is behind the person you point your sword at?"
"What...what..."
“What will happen to the Marquis Higgins family from your actions?
