Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

"This... this...!"

Surou's body started shaking.

He turned his head and glared at the gold-haired Horeo.

...his older brother...

The perfect being who never made any mistakes was so outstandingly smart, so incredibly powerful, and so loved by their parents that no matter what Surou did, he could never even dream about being better than him...!

And that very perfect brother was looking down on him with a smug, almost challenging look on the face that the second prince hated the most...

Horeo merely stood there in silence with a triumphant look in his eyes - as if he couldn't wait for Surou to snap...!

"...!"

The second prince gritted his teeth so hard that they creaked, and his hands clenched into fists.

The blue-haired second prince could feel his hatred towards his brother - built up through all his life - raising over the threshold of his reasoning and common sense.

|It's his fault! It's all this bastard's FAULT!|

If Surou could only hurt that perfect older brother of his, how good would that feel?

To make that annoying high-and-mighty smile disappear...!

To wipe the smugness off of his face...!

"...ghhhh...!"

The blue-haired boy loudly inhaled the air and his glare hardened.

"You have caused this – didn't you?"

While glaring at his older brother, Surou pointed at the announcement.

His voice was shaking with barely held-back fury.

"Excuse me...?"

Horeo tilted his head and straightened his back to glare down at the shorter boy.

"...!"

Surou flinched and bit his lip to control himself even a little bit.

"Don't you dare act like that! You must have pressured the Academy to do this! Why else someone like me would get punished?!"

*WHAM*

"!!!"

Surou shouted and smashed his fist against the noticeboard – but only the blond heroine by his side flinched – no one else was even remotely threatened by the childish outburst.

"I'm a member of the royalty! I cannot be treated like that!"

The second prince's face twisted in anger as he continued getting the attention of every passing student.

"...my prince...!"

"...hmph..!"

At that moment Surou felt someone grabbing his hand - he instantly turned to shake it off but the person didn't let go.

"My prince! Please, calm down! What is going on? Why are you so mad?"

"...!"

Surou heard the voice of the blond girl by his side and regained some reason, not much, but just enough not to throw himself at his brother.

"Buru..."

He turned and looked at the heroine's face.

The blond girl was terrified.

Her beautiful eyes were full of worry...

She pressed her body against Surou's arm to constrain his movements even a little bit.

"My prince, what is happening? What caused such anger? Everything will be alright, right?"

She added looking past the first prince and his fiancee, right at the black-haired attendant – who clearly looked like he wanted to do something but was being held back by the dark-haired girl...

"..."

...not to mention that the first prince himself noticed Burushiitto's look and stepped to the side to block Zoemi from her eyes.

"...I... you see... it's...|

The second prince lowered his gaze - he felt a red-hot shame burning his insides...

He was going to be expelled from the Aspakeony Academy because of his older brother...!

...and... it had to happen right in front of his beloved girl...

"This..."

Surou motioned towards the announcement, not even able to tell her the news.

"...?"

Burushitto looked up and quickly read the document.

"!!!"

...and her jaw dropped from the shock...

"That's not possible! Something must be wrong!"

She exclaimed and clung to Surou side.

"My prince, let's go and ask the headmaster, there must have been a mistake, you have done nothing wrong! I-I mean, you have been the one getting misled! But in the end, sir Zoemi isn't holding a grudge, is he?! I healed him already and all!"

Burushiitto's shoulders trembled and she gasped – trying to make eye contact with the black-haired attendant.

|It's wrong! All wrong! What is happening!? The final event for the route has already happened – why did this scene trigger!?|

She wasn't just distressed on the outside, the heroine was also panicking on the inside.

"That's right! I don't hold the second pri...!"

"Zoemi – this isn't only about you."

"!!!!"

The black-haired boy tried to move past Horeo while dragging Miriette with him, but he was forced to stop by the first prince's outstretched hand and cold voice.

"Although I can't deny that the injustice done to you was the reason the idea of removing the second prince from the Academy was brought up – it ended up not being the deciding factor."

Horeo explained in a stern voice – warning Zoemi with his eyes to stay quiet and not get involved.

"Truth be told his behavior from the beginning of the studies here was... less than acceptable..."

He added turning around and glaring down at the blond-haired heroine who flinched under the weight of that gaze.

"How dare you...!?"

Surou gasped, stepping in front of the terrified Burushiitto and shielding her from his older brother – which was Horeo's entire point – after all, only one person was going to be punished...

"This decision is clearly biased and unjust! Especially after what you've just said – what was wrong with my conduct in the Aspakeony Academy?!"

The blue-haired boy called out in anger, raising his head with a challenging look in his eyes.

"The headmaster was the one to made the decision about the expulsion... suggesting that someone of his status is wrong isn't the wisest choice to get out of trouble, second prince..."

Horeo's face lost every trace of mockings and became cold and indifferent like an iron mask.

"Lies! You were definitely the one who threatened him or something! Just you wait – we will see what mother will have to say about tha...!

"But Surou is a prince! No one can just expel a prince of the Kingdom from the Aspakeony Academy!"

Surou was about to snap but he was interrupted by the desperate heroine clinging to his side and calling out towards the gold-haired Horeo.

"Second prince."

Horeo corrected the commoner girl without even sparing her a single glance.

"You...!"

"Whatever! Still, what about the high-noble rule?! Even the headmaster can't make a decision about expelling a high noble decision without the consent of the king!"

Once again Surou was going to say something but was interrupted by the heroine.

"Yes, you are absolutely right about that – what a fortunate coincidence."

Horeo nodded and turned his head to the side.

"Sir Karestas, lady Yarvestreg, if you may."

"...!"

"..."

"..."

He called out in a loud voice and two tall figures entered through the main entrance as if they were waiting for the summon...

A man and a woman in matching shining golden armor sets - both of them had bright golden hair and eyes, glistening marvelously as they walked towards the noticeboard proudly with their white capes fluttering dramatically even though the pair didn't move all that fast.

""My prince, lady Espine.""

The pair of knights bowed their heads at the same time towards the future royal couple. Their position was high enough that they weren't obliged to kneel in front of anyone except the current king.

"Those...! Those are members of the King's guard! I've seen them during parades!"

"Wait – no...! But that means...! The second prince is actually getting expelled?!|

If before the students gathered around the noticeboard were observing the quarrel between two princes with curiosity and shock, now all their attention has been focused on the newly arrived guests.
