Chapter 83: The Princess of Fonbeau

Why does nothing ever go the way I want it to?

I’d received a summons to the mansion used by Fonbeau royalty, and there I sat drinking tea, Miranda and Novem beside me. Monica stood behind us in wait.

The woman sipping tea in front of me was Lianne Fonbeau—A princess of the Kingdom of Fonbeau, and the former fiancé of Banseim’s Crown Prince.

The princess sported long, deep pink hair, braided and bundled. Her skin was pale and she stared at me with eyes that were the same pink as her hair.

She wore a regal-looking dress that exposed her shoulders and gave off the impression of a rather adorable well-to-do lady. Her somewhat protruding chest was neither small nor large.

However, she looked a little emaciated—and she was probably worse off than she looked. She was doing a good job hiding it with makeup.

As for why I was sitting across from the Fonbeau Princess, it all started with Miranda.

Princess Lianne turned her eyes to Miranda and smiled.

“Long time no see, Miranda. It looks like even someone as perfect as you has one defect—you have terrible taste in men.”

“The princess is already making snide remarks,” the fifth head said with a sigh. “Doesn’t she hate us a little too much?”

I found her hatred perfectly understandable. House Walt had done enough to warrant it.

Miranda shrugged. “Believe it or not, I consider myself a very good judge of character. That aside, I was shocked when I heard the rumors.”

“I was shocked too—I didn’t know you’d dropped out and become an adventurer.”

They shared a laugh, but I wasn’t having fun at all.

Miranda had apparently become acquainted with Princess Lianne in the capital—rather, they were so close that the princess had invited her out to tea a few times. Owing to their connection, they got in touch as soon as Miranda began to look into the rumors.

The knights and servants stationed around us were glaring daggers at me. They directed their murderous intent, knowing I was a man of House Walt.

My stomach ached.

“Now then, even if you were disowned, you carry the blood of Walt,” Princess Lianne said, turning back to me. “Are you aware of the bond you share with Fonbeau?”

She chuckled to herself as she dragged the conversation in a sinister direction. I wanted to run, then and there.

“I heard that various things happened with our previous head, and the head before that,” I replied.

“Right. Various things. My grandfather was killed by your ancestor, Fiennes Walt. What an amazing man he must have been, to kill the Hero of Fonbeau.”

My hands quivered.

From the Jewel, I heard a carefree laugh. “You’re making me blush,” the sixth head said.

But the sixth head was quite a problematic person, having had secret kids out of wedlock and fleeing out of terror from his wives. He also took mistresses to his heart’s content. I...didn’t know what to say about him.

“Then, there’s your grandfather who chased my dad across the battlefield. Dad still has nightmares to this day; did you know that? To top it off, they both snatched a good deal of Fonbeau’s land.
