I, Alan Stiart, summoned my fiancée, Miss Mary Hunt, to speak today.

The place was a dorm room, and it was paid for.

I was finally going to tell that story to Mary.

A month was about to come from the incident in which Catalina Kraes was cast into the magic of darkness.

I wondered what would happen at one time, but the case was settled safely.

Sirius, a party to the incident, Raphael left the school and the student council was a little bummed, but now he was still calm as usual.

In the meantime, there was something I had to do.

I, Alan Stiart, have been engaged to Mary, the fourth daughter of the Marquis of Hunt, since I was eight.

I certainly preferred the adorable and hard-working Mary thing... but I realized that it was apparently not a romantic emotion.

The trigger was that incident where Catalina was about to be killed.

That time, when I thought I was going to lose Catalina, I realized how I really felt.

I love a girl named Catalina Kraes.

When I realized that, my thoughts overflowed at once and I couldn't stop.

I wanted to be around a little bit and watch her smile.

I knew perfectly well that she was the fiancée of my brother Geold.

So also that this thought doesn't come true...... still makes me want to be beside her as long as I'm allowed.

That's how I remembered Mary when I got caught up in that thought.

I do think it's preferable about her, but it was like family love, not romantic feelings.

Family love, still you may not mind...

Wouldn't that be rude to Mary...

Is it good for Mary to be engaged to a man who thinks otherwise?

After troubling myself, I decided to reveal my thoughts to Mary.

That I love someone who never thought I would, not Mary.

And I was going to listen to that story and let Mary decide.

Discard your engagement or not...

And finally, Mary came.

My adorable fiancée looked at the look on my mind and wondered what it was.

To Mary like that I... I didn't give Catalina's name, but I told her everything else I thought.

"Mary, I am so sorry for you. So if you want, I'll destroy your engagement so you don't get annoyed soon."

Mary's face, which looked surprised at the beginning, gradually gave her a somewhat troubled look.

And...

".................. you are more serious than I imagined. It's a hassle."

"What?

Mary shrugged something, but the voice was too small to hear, so I listened back.

Mary smiled softly and laughed 'It's nothing'.

And...

"I know exactly how Alan feels...... but if I dissolve my engagement that way, I think they'll appreciate another fiancée again soon because it's about my house. Then we're in trouble."

"Do you have trouble getting another fiancée? You're very popular in the social world, and I'm sure you can have a nice fiancée who will love you properly?

In fact, Mary's popularity in the social world is high, and it would be helpful to say that she disengaged me.

But Mary looked harsh and snapped her neck.

"No. I'm in trouble...... Dear Alan, I've been silent for a long time too...... actually some of you admire me too"

"Yes!?

I open my mouth and solidify myself to too much expansion.

"I'm sorry I kept my mouth shut. … but my admirers are also unexpected."

"... well. So did you."

Really? I can't believe Mary had someone like that.

I had no idea. Am I a pretty dull man?

"... but I can't give up... not likely, but I'd like to try. So it's more helpful to be engaged to Alan with similar thoughts this way than to be appreciated for a new fiancée. So please let me stay engaged."

That's what Mary said and stared at me with her slightly moistened eyes.

Mary asked me to do it that way, and I can't stop saying no.

"Okay. I'll take your fiancée's place until you're married to that person."

When I said that, Mary smiled happily.

It wasn't long before I realized that the adorable girl smiling like that was actually our biggest rival, and quite the mighty enemy.
