Chapter 6: Apology
The trials were over, and the results were just as he anticipated.
Canonically, Valerie would have been suspended from attending classes for three months and the news of engagement annulment would have made her a laughing stock back home. Not to talk about, her father had to pay a hefty sum as compensation.
Those moments she spends back at home, all alone, change her personality. She yearned for Austin and got betrayed by him. However, even after annulment she never stopped loving him. Even when she returned as a Parasyte General, she just desired to become one with Austin.
... but all Valerie received was betrayal again.
The protagonist, Rhea, couldn’t defeat Valerie head-on, so she used Austin to lure her ... before stabbing Valerie in her back.
Such an unfortunate fate and all because an idiot failed to notice the feelings of his fiancée.
...
The headmaster asked Morkel to stay and told the others to leave.
Austin, along with others, walked out of the office at once.
The blond Prince could feel the shy gaze of his fiancée on his back. It seems she couldn’t bring herself to walk beside him.
‘Haa ... what an adorable girl... ‘
Austin was about to ask Valerie something when suddenly Rhea asked, “Austin ... can you accompany me for a bit? I want to talk to you.”
Hearing that, Rudolph and Parkinson’s faces darkened. Even without looking at her, Austin could tell that Valerie’s expression shifted.
Rhea looked serious and Austin could guess what she had to say. However,

The violet-haired looked at him with her sharp eyes turning round in astonishment.
Austin glanced at her and instantly looked away. The way she was looking up at him was too damn adorable.
‘Gah ... control Luke ... you can’t pet the adorable creature here ... control... ‘
Rhea glanced at their connected hands, a frown dancing on her forehead before she nodded and wordlessly walked away.
Parkinson immediately followed her while Rudolph remained standing.
With his eyes narrowed, he said, “What happened to you? You never spoke so indifferently with Rhea before.”
Austin sighed, a little surprised that the big man cares about things like emotions and sentiments, before he said, “Look Rudolph, I was just stating the fact without showing any partiality. If it seems rude, then you should say sorry.”
Rudolph nodded, “Okay sorry. See you later.”
Saying so, the taller one walked away, leaving a dumbfounded Valerie behind. She couldn’t understand what just happened so she looked back at her lord.
Austin smirked; easy to manipulate that guy is.
He looked at the lovely princess beside him—urging her to lower her head immediately—before asking, “Should we walk around a bit?”
Naturally, she didn’t disagree.
