Chapter 10

While watching the engagement of the crown prince to the duke's daughter being broken off from a distance, I never expected that later on...

"Miriam Honest! I will break off our engagement with you!"

"Pyo"

My father, mother, and I went to the graduation party venue with Cornelia and the others.

The sexy young man with a beauty mark is the son of Marogas Solridia, the Duke and Commander of the Knights, and his name is Doliche.

He had been studying abroad in another country.

No wonder I had never seen him before.

Doliche and Cornelia stood side by side, smiling gently at each other, creating a soft and wonderful atmosphere.

Cornelia and I were enjoying a pleasant conversation, but when Cornelia suddenly looked at my dress, her words faded...

"Is this dress a gift from the Second Prince?"

"Yes..."

"...A dress with such deep colors..."

Cornelia smiled and placed her closed fan against her right cheek.

"Your taste is terrible, isn't it!?"

"...Thank you..."

I hid my mouth with a half-opened fan in my left hand and smiled slowly.

"Isn't it!"

While we were doing this, as soon as we arrived at the venue, there was the declaration of the engagement break-off by Elancio.

My father said "Pyo" at the sudden announcement of the engagement break-off...

Elancio, ignoring my father, looked at my dress and smiled with a nasty grin.

"Did you come in such a dress to erase your existence, knowing that our engagement would be broken off today?"

Elancio's three followers laughed mockingly.

I flicked my left wrist and swept the fan from bottom to top, smiling brightly.

"This dress, a gift from Elancio-sama, is very comfortable to wear."

"Unpleasant..."

The crowd around us murmured, wondering how he could denigrate a dress he himself had given me.

The women waved their fans, saying "Unpleasant," "Unpleasant," causing Elancio's plain hair to flutter slightly.

Elancio probably didn't expect that I, who usually obeyed him without resistance, would reveal in front of everyone that he had given me such a plain dress.

He glared at me with hatred but, realizing his disadvantage from the women's "Unpleasant" fan calls, cleared his throat and started over.

"I will say it again! I will break off our engagement! You do not match me, who will become the Crown Prince! The only one suitable to stand by my side is the Duke's daughter, Cornelia Resharka!"

For the second time, I was told of the engagement break-off by Elancio, who was claiming to be the Crown Prince, with a lively expression and flared nostrils.

Wait? I was just watching the Crown Prince's engagement break-off at the graduation ceremony, but now I'm unexpectedly caught in the crossfire...

In front of Elancio, who was breaking off the engagement, my body started to tremble.

My father and mother, standing next to me, were also trembling.

Welcome! Engagement break-off!

Welcome to the unexpected engagement break-off!

My father, mother, and I couldn't stop trembling with joy.

We exchanged glances.

With the family motto in our hearts, we must swim with all our might in this river!

We nodded to each other.

I made a sad expression and looked at Elancio.

"Elancio-sama... no, Second Prince, I humbly accept the break-off of our engagement."

Yes! With joy!!

Elancio, who could show such considerate malice, had brought the engagement break-off documents for me to sign and even a civil servant.

Good job!

Come on, come on, let's get the engagement break-off documents!

I signed the documents immediately.

Elancio snatched the documents from the side and handed them to the civil servant.

The civil servant stamped them as accepted.

Quick and good!

"Hereby, the engagement between the Second Prince Elancio Solridia and the Count's daughter Miriam Honest is officially dissolved. Furthermore, no one can reverse this engagement break-off."

The civil servant declared it loudly.

Hooray!

I gave a standing ovation in my heart!

Finally, the title of the story has come to life.

This scene was the first one I imagined for this work, so it's very moving.
