「Luria, with immediate effect, I am breaking off our engagement with you!」

「――!」

During a glittering evening party attended by nobles from across the land.

Prince Galam, my fiancé and the Crown Prince of our nation, suddenly made this declaration.

Th-that's impossible――!

――I leisurely sliced the onion into wedges, added them to a greased stockpot, and quickly sautéed them.

「What is the meaning of this, Your Highness! Please explain your reasons!」

「Hmph, it's no use feigning ignorance! It's already come to light that you've been secretly subjecting Tameri to malicious harassment!」

「Ah, Prince Galam...」

Lady Tameri, the Baron's daughter, leaned against His Highness, her face etched with a look of profound sorrow.

Th-that's impossible――!

――Once the onions had caramelized, I added bite-sized carrots, potatoes, and thinly sliced pork. When these were cooked through, I added plenty of water and simmered them gently over medium heat.

「That's a misunderstanding, Your Highness! I have done nothing to harass Lady Tameri!」
