And then he was gone.

And then he was gone.

杜野秋人

"I hereby break off our engagement!" At the royal ball held at the palace at the end of the social season in the capital, the crown prince's distinctive voice echoed through the venue. The crown prince elaborates at length on how inadequate his fiancée is, and therefore condemns her as unfit for himself and for the future queen. And she, having far too many reasons to feel guilty, offers no particular objection. But when she sees the person the crown prince announces will take her place in the engagement, she is left speechless. Because that young lady is—! ◆As usual, this is an improvisational work born from a sudden idea. And you can catch a glimpse of darkness here and there (lol). Since both romantic and fantasy elements are thin, I'm returning to human drama after a long time. ◆Since there are many portrayals of the prince breaking off the engagement being implausibly stupid, I've twisted the reason a bit this time. Approximately 6,000 characters, posting a short story for the first time in a while. ◆I've accidentally given it a title similar to a past work, but there's no direct connection. ◆This work will also be published on Alpha Polis. ◆11/21-23, 22, [Human Drama] Daily Ranking #1! Thank you so much!
