I Shall Break Off Our Engagement For You
[Chapter 8]
Translated by: ME
"Even though Adrian won, you're a fan of Kevin?"
Bernie teased, suggesting it was because he was handsome.
However, Adrian was also a blonde with blue eyes, and although their types differed, he was quite the looker.
Felicia had many friends who admired Adrian.
"His Highness didn't attack when Lord Adrian's shield fell..."
In the final match of the Royal Tournament, there was a moment when Adrian's shield fell, even though he wasn't being attacked.
It seemed like there was some kind of defect in the shield itself.
If Kevin had thrust his sword at that moment, he would have won, but he waited for Adrian to pick up his shield again.
"That's because there was a possibility it wasn't Adrian's fault."
Kevin said that if he weren't a prince, and if it were a real battle instead of a match, he would have attacked without hesitation.
"If you weren't a prince?"
"There are sometimes people within the royal family who do unnecessary things."
Kevin said he didn't attack because there was a possibility someone had tampered with Adrian's shield to make Kevin win.
"When I asked about it later, they said it was Adrian's maintenance mistake, so I was like, 'Seriously?'"
Kevin laughed brightly.
If Silas knew that he had protected his opponent's mistake in a match that determined the winner, he would have cursed terribly.
That thought flickered in the corner of her mind.
Although, if it were Silas, he would have attacked an opponent who dropped their shield without hesitation.
A maintenance mistake is the player's fault.
Even if they drop their shield because of it, it's permissible to attack.
But Kevin said he didn't know that much during the match.
He laughed, saying that no matter what the result, he was glad he didn't resort to any cowardly tactics to win, even if there was a slight chance.
"The fault lies with me for suspecting someone within the royal family."
Seeing his humble demeanor as he shrugged, Felicia thought that she was definitely a Kevin fan.
The party at the Ashfield residence was very enjoyable.
She was able to have a friendly conversation with Kevin, with Bernie in between them.
"I've read some of Felicia's poetic tales."
"I'm kind of embarrassed."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. They were all wonderful... or rather, I thought they were great."
Technically speaking, the royal family's exclusive court poet might be more elaborate.
However, Kevin honestly expressed his opinion that Felicia's poems had a sense of freedom.
"Felicia's poems have kindness towards others. Her gaze is gentle."
When Felicia smiled shyly, Kevin said "Ah" and blushed.
"I feel like I said something presumptuous from a superior position. I'm sorry."
"Not at all... I'm very honored to receive your praise."
He nodded.
Then, looking down a little shyly, he said, "If you don't mind, could you stop using honorifics?" and smiled slightly.
"I'd be happy if you treated me casually, like Bernie does. Call me Kevin, not Your Highness..."
"Eh..."
Bernie offered a helping hand, saying, "That's impossible all of a sudden."
Kevin nodded, looking a little sad, as if that was the case.
He probably really wanted her to treat him casually.
"Well... if it's okay if I take it slowly, I'll try my best... Kevin..."
She somehow managed to say that.
Kevin smiled happily.
Seeing Kevin like that, Felicia also felt happy.
"I hope you'll continue to write good things. I'm looking forward to it, Felicia."
"Thank you very much. I will do my best."
Kevin stared intently at her.
"O-oh, thank you. I'll do my best."
When she hurriedly corrected herself, she was met with a bright smile.
