In Place of Losing My Memory, I Remembered That I Was the Fiancée of the Capture Target - Chapter 2.6
“Theodore-sama! Would you like to have lunch together?”
“Hey! I was going to ask!”
“Well, Theodore-sama… if you don’t mind, I’d like to…”
As soon as the morning classes were over, Theodoro was surrounded by female students.
My mother told me that the school was an important encounter for those who had no fiancee.
Especially for girls, the family background of the marriage partner is very important, so there would be many girls who would target the heir of the Bertini, the Queen’s family, which is Theodore who has no fiancée yet.
Theodore, who is not only of good family background, but also as good looking as the other targets, has received several offers of engagement, but he has been adamant in his refusal.
The reason for this…I can’t say I have nothing in mind.
—If he meet someone good at this school, Theodore’s feelings for me may change.
I have such expectations.
“I’m sorry, but I’m eating with my sister.”
But Theodore was unwelcoming.
All of their resentful gazes were directed at me at once.
I must be an obstacle to these women who are desperate to get married.
“…Theo, forget about me, go with them.”
If my classmates resented me, it would hinder my future school life.
I am sure that in this kind of group life, relationships with the same sex are more important than those with the opposite sex, and I am sure that this is no different from my previous life.
When I said that, Theodore furrowed his brow as if miffed.
“No, it’s not safe for you to be alone.”
Dangerous? Eating lunch at the academy?
“But…”
“Alexia-sama.”
I turned around when I heard a voice.
The heroine was standing there.
“If you like, would you like to have lunch with me?”
With a lovely smile that was typical of the heroine, she—I think her name was Rebecca—said.
A helping hand—-or so I thought.
With the heroine? Having lunch with her?
Just the two of us?
I think ……I’m not ready yet…
“Yes…please.”
I replied, losing myself in the pressure of the girls’ stares.
“Wait…sister!”
“Well then, Theodore-sama, I’ll borrow your sister.”
Good luck with those girls, little brother.
While sending a cheer in my heart, I headed to the dining room with Rebecca.
The academy is indeed a place where the children of noble families gather.
The cafeteria is so magnificent that I wondered what kind of high-class restaurant it was.
The menu is buffet style, and you can choose as much or as little as you like.
The seating placement is also free, and the rank does not matter……but it seems that it is impossible not to be aware of the difference in status.
It is an unspoken rule that the slightly elevated seats with the best view are reserved for the children of royalty, dukes, and other families with high titles.
It seems that this is also the case in real life, and I saw His Highness, his fiancée Briggite, Liam and the others sitting there.
“I see you are very close with your brother.”
I took my food, found a suitable place, and sat down facing Rebecca.
“…I wouldn’t say we get along well…I’d say he’s overprotective…”
“Overprotective?”
“Well, I was sick and bedridden until a little while ago…”
“Is it true what they say about Alexia-sama that you stayed in school because of your illness?”
“…yes.” I nodded.
“And that the illness caused you to suffer from amnesia?”
“Yes…I forgot everything I learned at the academy, so I had to start all over again from the first year.”
“By amnesia, do you mean that you have forgotten who you are?”
“Yes… my family, my surroundings.”
“… But you remembered that I am the heroine.”
As the title of the game says, the heroine has very impressive eyes.
Her large amber eyes are a mixture of green and blue, and change color depending on the light.
Her eyes, which are filled with intelligence and strength of will that captivate the targets of her games, looked straight at me.
“Uh…um”
I felt as if I couldn’t say anything to escape them.
“I remembered…or rather, I remembered yesterday…”
“Yesterday?”
“I seem to recognized Patrick and His Highness Leopold… but I didn’t know them… and then yesterday, when I came to the school, I remembered a lot of things…”
I was almost slurring my words when I said that.
“Is it about the “game”?
“Uh… well…”
I bowed my head vigorously.
“I’m sorry!”
“What are you sorry for?”
“The event…I may have ruined it…”
“Oh. Don’t apologize for that. I’m rather grateful.”
“…Huh?”
I looked up.
Grateful?
“Shall we talk about it somewhere else?”
Rebecca said so with a smile.
