Ficool

Chapter 14 - Interlude — Lux and Lam

In a hallway of the academy corridor, Prince Regulux was walking calmly.

His hands were in his pockets. Suddenly, he was called from behind by a familiar voice.

"Your Highness, sorry, may I have a moment of your attention?"

Lambert was behind him. Regulux turned around with a smile in his eyes.

"What do you need from me?"

"I'd like to talk about what happened a while ago."

Regulux brought his finger to his chin to remember what Lambert was talking about. After it came to his mind, he made an 'oh' expression.

"What about it?"

Lambert replied.

"I understand you're upset, but she is still your fiancée. Your Highness, can you not—?"

"Lam."

Lambert cut off his words when Regulux called him in a very familiar way.

Lambert's eyes widened.

"Didn't I tell you to call me informally when we're alone? I don't like my best childhood friend, whom I consider a close brother, calling me like the others."

For some reason, Lambert lowered his gaze and blushed.

"Sorry. Lux."

"That's right."

"Well, about what you're saying."

"Lux, will you really continue with this?"

Regulux looked at Lambert with a disinterested gaze.

"Lam. You know it, don't you? You know how much she has annoyed me and tried to control my life."

"I know. But still, this is an engagement that your father, His Majesty, approved."

"My father is an overprotective man with me. Once I explain what happened, he'll agree with me."

Lambert watched him say that with a big smile.

"I understand. And, about the duel."

Regulux scratched his head while closing his eyes.

"I'm not interested. I just accepted since it would be interesting, after all. Isn't it funny that a low-ranking noble challenges me to a duel? I'm sure he'll soon come to apologize to me and reject the duel. Or, he'll want to make a deal with me, hahaha."

Lambert was Regulux's sword. He had sworn it since childhood.

Regulux was the character who talked about love, peace, and how to end problems through conversation.

But at this moment, none of that matched his role.

"If you're asking that, do you think I'll lose?"

Lambert stood at attention and, with his hand over his heart, said.

"I would never allow it! I personally will defeat him that day, or much earlier if you wish. I only came to confirm your feelings."

Regulux smiled in a very childish way.

"That's how you talk. Besides, I'm sure the palace will be happy if that ruined household disappears."

"I couldn't really say if that will be the case, but I fully trust Lux and his words."

"Good. Let's calmly wait for that day."

"Yes."

Lambert turned halfway after saying goodbye.

At that moment, Regulux made a twisted expression.

"Hahaha. The Rosenberg Household is a nuisance."

Regulux brought a finger to his nose and picked at it a lot.

His beautiful face was distorted by what he was doing.

That was because he...

"After all, they are destined for ruin according to the game."

Was a reincarnator just like Razel.

"The only strange thing here is that the protagonist hasn't come to me yet. The worst part is that I made sure no one else's route but mine would happen. I even managed to eliminate the reverse harem route. But that idiot hasn't come to seduce me, and that's why I got distracted with other women."

"Elize is a beautiful woman, but she's an idiot who tries to make me improve my manners. Wow, what a stupid and hateful bitch. I should send assassins after her and her mother as soon as possible. But, since I'm the wonderful, charming, and righteous prince, I shouldn't do it, hahahaha."

Regulux laughed in a disgusting way.

He continued on his way while laughing and murmuring.

"I don't care who that guy is. The only thing that truly matters is that I will win since I am the future White Knight. I don't even have to worry about my older brothers since they'll kill each other sooner or later, and the throne will be mine."

Regulux was a person born to have the throne according to the game.

"I can't wait to live the happy, luxurious life I couldn't have in my previous life, hahahahaha!"

He walked calmly while laughing perversely.

Eagerly awaiting the day of the duel, just like in the game.
