The random characters in the dating sim world are a bit bad.

That is, Lyon rejects such actions, and if the kingdom forces it upon him, then he will naturally defect. After all, the kingdom has many enemies.

The three of them quieted down, and at the same time, they heard the noise coming from inside the venue.

"this is?"

"This is going to be good!"

Lyon stood up and ran towards the venue.

Seeing this, Daniel and Raymond had no choice but to follow.

Upon entering the venue, they saw Angelica confronting Mariah alone, with Julius, Zeke, Chris, Brad, and Greg behind her. Also present was Kyle, the demi-human slave Julius and Zeke had purchased for Mariah.

"Olivia, are you alright? What happened to them?"

Leon approached Olivia and asked her a question, his face showing amusement.

"Leon, I'm fine. But you should tone it down. This is going a bit too far."

Olivia spoke softly, noticing that her voice was too loud and attracted the attention of those around her, and then she began to explain.

"Your Highness! Why won't you listen to me? Everything I've done is for your sake!"

Angelica screamed, her eyes red-rimmed.

But all he received was Julius's indifference.

"Your words are worthless! That's all."

The cold voice came from Julius's handsome face. If Leon hadn't learned what had happened from Olivia, he probably would have thought Angelica was just being unreasonable.

"Your Highness, you know this person's background perfectly well, so why did you still accept her!"

Angelica, fighting back tears, asked the question.

On the field, Angelica looked stunning in her red dress, while Marie looked timid and frightened, prompting Julius and the others to protect her even better.

"Hmm~, I almost forgot! This is the world of an otome game, right? But why does Angelica seem completely different from the villainous heiress?"

After a long period of peaceful life, Leon almost forgot that he had transmigrated into the world of an otome game. However, this also shows that Leon has completely integrated into this world.

"Leon?"

Seeing Leon deep in thought, Olivia became worried, but she quickly smiled and continued watching the show.

The boys around started discussing the group that continued to protect Maria despite Angelica's questioning, but no one stepped forward to stand behind Angelica.

Brad stepped forward at this moment, a hint of mockery on his face.

"It's quite tragic for the Red Grab family heiress to have come to this point. There's not a single person around her who agrees with you."

Angelica looked around as she listened to Brad's words. Her former henchman lowered his head and tried his best to hide himself in the face of that gaze.

"This girl actually made a move on all of you!"

"Of course I know about this little thing! She saved me because she listened to my troubles. So, I've decided to—protect her!"

Chris stepped forward, a hint of pride on his face, followed by Greg.

"You're really being long-winded. Why don't you just say you like Marie?"

Zeke then declared that he was the one who loved Marie the most, but Julius denied it!

[Confessing your feelings for another girl in front of your fiancée is pretty brainless. But since it's an otome game, it doesn't matter, as long as it has nothing to do with Olivia.]

Lyon watched with great interest, making his own judgment in his mind, his eyes filled with anticipation.

The people around them stirred up a commotion after hearing Julius's confession.

Did you hear what you just said?

"I wish I could be said that to you too! Marielle is so lucky!"

"I'm so envious. Compared to her, the duke's daughter is making a complete fool of herself."

Hearing the mocking laughter around her, Angelica clenched her fists so tightly that her nails seemed to dig into her palms.

"Your Highness! You don't intend to treat this as a game during your studies, do you?"

“Angelica! For me, the only woman I can’t replace is Marie! If you hurt her, I will never forgive you!”

Finally, His Highness Julius, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Holfalt, remembered his identity as the Crown Prince!

"Damn~"

Angelica felt a piercing pain, which was exacerbated by the surrounding laughter.

"It seems His Highness has given up on the Duchess?"

"Isn't this great? I've hated her for a long time."

With Angelica's fall from grace, the girls around her changed their tune, spouting nonsense and abandoning their previous attempts to please her.

Lyon was completely excited by what he saw!

"Either erupt in silence or die in silence!"

"Leon, what are you talking about?"

Olivia, puzzled by Leon's words, tilted her head and asked, looking quite adorable.

Leon simply pushed up his non-existent eye and said, "It will be revealed soon."

On the field, he faced ridicule from those around him and Julius's indifferent attitude.

Angelica kept her head down in silence for a long time, then took a deep breath and made up her mind, raising her head! The glimmer in her eyes disappeared, replaced by darkness!

pat!

Angelica removed the white gloves from her hands and threw them at Marie.

“Pick it up, you harlot. You witch who deceived His Highness.”

Volume 2 School Life: Chapter 20 A Battle Worth a Warship!

Among nobles, throwing one's glove to another is an invitation to duel!

Accepting the gloves is considered an acceptance of the duel!

Simple and easy to understand!

In male duels, there are no proxies, but female duels do.

Therefore, Angelica's duel invitation was tantamount to one person challenging Julius and his five companions, or, to put it more broadly, a test by the Duke's family against the royal family.

In short, everything started to turn out very badly.

However, Leon found this unfortunate situation quite interesting, and he explained it to Olivia from the side.

"Leon, does that mean Miss Angelica is going to lose? That's just too bad."

Olivia said somewhat sadly.

"There's nothing we can do, Olivia. It seems unlikely anyone will dare to step forward and help her. Of course, that depends on Marie accepting the duel invitation."

Lyon continued to look forward to it, all that was missing was popcorn and sunflower seeds.

This kind of plot where the original wife tears apart the scheming woman is very exciting. It would be even better if the kingdom didn't have this rule of using agents!

When it really comes down to a fight, sometimes girls can be even more ruthless than boys!

On the field, Julius showed a disappointed look, then glanced at Angelica with disdain before saying to Maria, "Maria, pick up the gloves. I will be your agent, nothing will happen."

Next, Zeke, Chris, Greg, and Brad also stepped forward.

“We can’t let His Highness show off all by himself. According to the rules, a girl’s representative can be more than just one boy. So I’ll get involved too.”

“I am very confident in my sword skills. I will fight as Marie’s sword.”

"I'm joining too! Bring it on, no matter who the opponent is!"

"That's why I called you a brainless brute... But I won't pretend I didn't hear what you said, you slut. Please correct yourself, and apologize after the duel."

Marie wiped the tears that had welled up in her eyes from her fright as she looked at the group of five who had stood up for her. She was terrified by Angelica's imposing manner.

“Everyone… I’m scared, but I feel safe with you all by my side. I want to fight alongside you all too. Angelica, I accept your duel!”

Kyle, who was standing next to Marielle, stepped forward when he saw her expression.

"What a silly owner! Don't forget I'm here for you! I can still cheer you on."

"Thank you, Kyle."

While Marielle's family is all together in harmony, Angelica is all alone, looking quite miserable.

"Leon, what should Miss Angelica do? Who can defeat His Highness and his five companions?"

Olivia was starting to get anxious.

"Hmm, that's true. Although His Highness and the other four have excellent grades in the academy, defeating them is still not a problem. However, the situation will only be as I just said."

There are many people in the academy who could defeat Julius and his group of five, but no one would step forward in a duel.

So after Maria accepted the challenge, Angelica turned her attention to the boys who had once surrounded her, only to be met with avoidance.

Finally, Angelica's gaze fell on Leon, who was watching the melon, and after a moment, she used great willpower to look away.

"What a kind but foolish guy. He could have just asked me for some gold coins right now."

Leon felt somewhat disappointed after watching Angelica leave with that longing look in her eyes.

He was one of the students in the academy who was able to defeat Julius and the others and was willing to fight.

However, the kind-hearted Angelica seemed unwilling to let Leon get involved.

"Leon..."

Olivia seemed to have heard what Leon had just said and turned her gaze toward her.

Daniel and Raymond, who were behind them, came to Lyon's side at this moment.

"Lyon, that's a bit of a pity. This duel is destined to have a winner, so the bet may not be able to take place."

"gambling?"

"Leon, don't you know? Those rich guys in the academy set up betting pools for duels."

Raymond pushed up his glasses and said with an arrogant expression, this was one of the few times he and Daniel could show off in front of Lyon.

After all, Lyon wasn't very well-informed about some of the news within the academy.

“Lyon, gambling is wrong, you can’t be like them. Besides, Miss Angelica has already suffered enough.”

Olivia corrected Leon, her gaze turning unfriendly as she looked at Daniel and Raymond.

Leon nodded and then pressed the button on his headset.

"Lucasion, predict the winnings of the bet."

On the field, Greg began to make sarcastic remarks.

"Hey, isn't anyone going to step up and help her? I remember she had a lot of followers. But Angelica, you've already challenged to a duel. So even without a proxy, don't run away."

Angelica simply clenched her fists tighter in response to Greg's sarcasm.

"Even without an agent, I won't run away, even if..."

Now, her only remaining option is to seek help from her family.

I'm sorry, Father and Brother.

"What's wrong? Where did that arrogant attitude go?"

The people around him were laughing and gossiping, but none of them were as cold as Julius.

“Angelica, prepare yourself. It’s too late to pretend it never happened. You’ve already thrown the white glove at Marie.”

The cold voice that came from the field fell silent for a moment, followed by Lyon's extremely excited voice!

“Uh-huh!”

Upon hearing that Lucaccion had guaranteed a minimum of 500,000 gold coins, Leon couldn't help but shout out!

Five hundred thousand might be a large sum of money for others, but for Lyon, it meant he would have an extra second-class warship!

That's a warship even more powerful than an aircraft carrier!
