In Place of Losing My Memory, I Remembered That I Was the Fiancée of the Capture Target - Chapter 3.5
”Why… why… is this happening?”
Rebecca muttered to herself as she looked at the colorful cakes laid out on the table.
This was never part of the game.
Rebecca and I were sitting at a table in the garden in the royal palace, in the private area of the royal family.
We had been invited by His Highness to thank him for the sandwiches the other day.
I had been here several times since I lost my memory, but this was Rebecca’s first time.
—It would normally be impossible for a viscountess to come to a place like this, she said.
“So it’s different in the game?”
“I never came to the royal palace.”
“Oh, really?”
“He gave me a necklace in the backyard as a thank-you and his fiancée saw it and pushed me down the stairs.”
“Oh… that’s…”
Is this the route to death ending?
“Maybe I shouldn’t get the necklace…”
“But if you don’t get the necklace, you can’t get into the route.”
“But you’re going to fall down the stairs, right?!”
“You just have to make a choice that won’t lead to that.”
“Choice? Have you ever done that before?”
“No, I haven’t. I mean, things are already different from the game…”
Events similar to those in the game have occurred so far, but Rebecca, who has no intention of conquering them, says that she has not chosen the options that are in the game.
Despite this, she seems to be progressing with events with Liam, and his liking for her is also increasing.
I’m sure that the characters here are the same ones who appeared in the game, but it’s not the same as in the game.
…and I’m not supposed to be “included” in the game in the first place.
What the hell is going on.
“I’m sorry to keep you waiting.”
I turned at the voice and saw His Highness and Liam standing there.
“Thank you for having us here today.”
Rebecca and I stood up and bowed.
“But…I think that’s too much of a thank you for just a few slices of a sandwich.”
“Why, if you hand something out at school and someone sees it, it’ll be a lot of trouble.”
Is it… about that jealous fiancée?
“This is a private space, so don’t worry about it and make yourself comfortable.”
“…yes”
It would be difficult for Rebecca even if she said so.
Anyway, the tea party started with the four of us.
The only people who talking are me and His Highness, and Liam is silent, only occasionally giving his Highness a nod.
Rebecca was probably nervous, too, and she spoke less than usual.
“By the way…”
His Highness said when the teapot was empty.
“I need to talk to Alexia. Liam, will you show Miss Stefani around the garden?”
“What…?”
Rebecca rolled her eyes.
“Understood”
Standing up, Liam held out his hand to Rebecca with a blank expression on his face.
Rebecca looked at Liam and said, “Well, um…”
“Liam, that’s no way to escort someone. Smile, smile.”
“…even if you say so.”
“Miss Stefani. I’m sorry, but this is all Liam can do. Would you take his hand?”
“Yes, yes…”
Rebecca was not willing to say no after being asked to do so by His Highness, so she reluctantly put her own hand on the hand Liam had offered.
“That Liam….”
His Highness opened his mouth as he watched them walk to the back of the garden.
“I think Miss Stefani is on his mind.”
“Liam-sama?”
“He’s…he’s had a lot going on with his mother, and he’s never been much of a ladies’ man. It’s a relief to see that he finally have someone he can like.
“…Is that why you invited me here today…”
To make the two meets?
“I told Liam to behave honestly. I hope that’s okay.”
His Highness said this in an amused tone, and his eyes were kind said this in a happy tone, and I could tell that he must really care about him.
