Chapter 1
Episode 1 Part I
Oh! Again? I'm curious as to what she is attempting to ask of me this time.
"Prince Olea! I want you to break up with Celis and to leave her alone!"
"I'm very sorry, your highness, but I can't marry your highness anymore. I've already found my true love. "
I sighed in disappointment as I heard them say those words while standing next to each other holding each other's hands.
"I under..."
Just as I was about to approve their proposal...
...
I'm sure I'm the number one man in the world with the worst luck when it comes to women.
When I was studying, I went into an all-boy's school, so as a student until senior high, I didn't have any romantic experiences. All of that changed when I started going out with my first girlfriend in university. I thought that we were seriously in love with each other as we frequently talked about marriage. But in the end, she betrayed me. She used my credit card without my permission, then she disappeared all of a sudden, leaving me with a debt of 500 000 yen.
After working really hard all day and night, I finally paid off the debt. Then, after a while, I fell in love with my senpai at the place where I work.
"I'm sorry, but I can't go out with you as I only see you as my younger brother."
After she rejected me, she started dating one of our kouhai at work. The guy she dated was the kind of guy who is lazy and just plays around all the time, not doing his work.
Because of the shock of what had happened, I decided to quit working for that company. Then one day, I bumped into her on the corner of the street.
"You're too serious. That's why I felt like dating you didn't seem interesting and I would just get bored with you. " She said that while she was rubbing her growing belly.
Soon after that, I left the city as if I were running away from the truth, and I got a job in another city. At my new job, I got close to one of my female kouhai.
However, since I was tired of falling in love and getting rejected or being deceived, I didn't try to court her, so we just stayed as very close friends.
Just as I thought that my life was finally at peace, a man who had a crush on the female kouhai that became close to me, became jealous of me, and he began to spread nasty rumors about me in our workplace.
I wasn't aware that he was doing that behind my back.
Eventually, my female kouhai heard the rumors that were spreading about me. By the time I realized what had happened, she completely thought that I was stalking her.
Wanting to clear up the misunderstanding, I decided to set up a meeting with her in a restaurant. When the day of our meeting arrived, that's the only time I realized what had been happening all this time when I saw her being escorted by the man who has a crush on her, as he was smirking triumphantly at me.
"Delete all of her contact information, then sign this."
I was forced to delete all her contact information from my phone. Then she told me to sign the document in front of me that said "To never talk or contact her ever again." That's when I realized that I could no longer clear up the misunderstanding that had happened.
In her mind, I was completely treated as a stalker.
I was in despair and I couldn't bring myself to eat the meals that were served in front of us, so I decided to immediately pay for the meal and I left the restaurant.
As I was walking on the streets, even though I had only drank a glass of liquor, my vision was shaking and I couldn't properly walk straight.
After a while, a little further ahead, I saw the female kouhai and the guy that spread the rumors about me crossing the crosswalk with their arms crossed against each other.
I wanted to clear up the misunderstanding about me being a stalker at all cost, so I ran out to them and while I was running in the middle of the road, I was hit by a police car.
...
Today is the Spring Anticipation Party.
Passing through the nobles that had gathered in the party hall, and accompanied by my aide Sophia, I headed to the seats at the top of the hall.
My name is Olea Kai Hortessa, and I am the crown prince of the kingdom of Hortessa. In order for me to prepare for the time I succeeded to the throne, I was strictly trained and disciplined from an early age.
As I passed, the male nobles around me showed their loyalty to me as they thanked me for allowing them to be my vassals, while the young ladies in attendance blushed their cheeks as they curtseyed.
After I arrived at my seat, I looked back down at the hall to give my opening address. After that, I finally sat down.
The different nobles then went into the front of my seat one after another to give their greetings to me.
The slow music of the orchestra reverberated through the hall, and those who had finished their greetings began to dance in the dance hall.
When all the nobles finished their greetings, she finally arrived.
Lady Celis Connaught, the daughter of the Marquis and my fiancée.
Because of her position and our relationship, she should be the first one to greet me, but she has only just arrived now, and as she walks towards me she has a stiff expression on her face.
She has a set of big azure eyes and fluffy platinum blonde hair.
The pale blue dress that she was wearing was a gift that I sent her the other day.
"Oh, Celis I thought that you wouldn't be able to come today. Why are you late? Are you feeling fine? " I asked that while I smiled while feeling concerned about her.
I thought that she was not feeling well and that's why she was late.
She put her hands together in front of her stomach, then she shook her head.
"Come to think of it, Lord Connaught gave me his greetings earlier. Will you be accompanied by Norris again today?"
Norris is the name of her brother.
Most of the time, she was accompanied by either her father or her brother during the parties that were being hosted by the Royal Family because I couldn't be her partner.
"Uhmm... my brother... he won't be coming today."
"Then who will be going to accompany you today?" I asked Celis that question while I was feeling confused.
"...I'm her partner!"
Then, a beautiful and handsome man, dressed in white formal attire that was provided by the Adventurer's Guild, walks forward while his blonde hair shines brightly against the chandelier.
He then stood next to Celis and he gently took her hand.
As if encouraged by what had happened, Celis lifted her head and looked up at me.
"You... your highness! I have a request from your highness today. "
Oh! Again? I'm curious as to what she is attempting to ask of me this time.
"Prince Olea! I want you to break up with Celis and to leave her alone!"
"I'm very sorry, your highness, but I can't marry your highness anymore. I've already found my true love."
I sighed in disappointment as I heard them say those words while standing next to each other, holding each other's hands.
As if reading the situation, the orchestra has stopped playing.
I could see that all the nobles inside the hall were staring at me while holding their breath in anticipation of what would happen next.
"I under..."
Just as I was about to approve their proposal...
An unfamiliar memory suddenly poured into my head.
It was the memory of a man who had tried to live seriously and earnestly while being deceived and dumped by different kinds of women.
I finally realized that those memories came from the memories of my previous life and that the existence of the previous life the Satillian religion has always told us about is also true.
I then find myself laughing loudly from the bottom of my stomach.
Note:
1. For the MCs name I can't figure it out if it's Orea or Olea if someone can correct me I would really appreciate it but until no one corrects me it would remain as Olea.
