Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 203.4
“I’ve heard that Sera has been asked out by quite a few of the lords and ladies.”
“Your current husband was a junior who was not even in sight at the time. Hasn’t His Highness been invited as well?”
At Sera’s words, Elena smiled vaguely, as if giggling.
Even first-year students like Elena and Aria were likely to receive invitations from third-year students who had not yet found a partner when the school reopened.
If you do not have a fiancée, you can choose your partner to some extent, but a position like Elena’s involves a lot of politics, so it was not easy to accept an invitation. This was because there was a general tendency to make the fiancée a partner, and the nobles around her see her as the closest partner.
“I heard that your father had a difficult time when he made the baroness his partner instead of the princess of Dandol, who was his first fiancée at the time? It’s still an ongoing problem, but if your mother had stepped down from the betrothal, would your father have had to ask for a cup of poison in secret?”
Sera re-heated the tea as if she did not hear Elena’s thin smile, using words that could be taken as disrespect even by a father and daughter if this were not their own room.
Indeed, if even the Princess of Dandol had to withdraw, as well as the other declined fiancées, His Majesty the former King could have made the prematurely deceased Second Prince the Crown Prince; as Elena said, that could have been the worst-case scenario to prevent the troubled royal family from being embroiled in succeeding disputes later on.
Elena’s decision to become Queen, and taking the crown from Crown Prince Ervan could have been the worst-case scenario.
It was not that she laughed at her father when she laughed at him earlier, but Elena laughed at herself for being so heartless that she would not stop aspiring to be king for the sake of the nation and the people living there, even if there was a possibility of that happening.

(…not so good.)
Sera guessed that Elena’s spirit had returned to the old days when she fought in solitude.
Currently, Aria is going down to the royal capital to repair her armor that was damaged in the deadly battle in the desert. It is a necessary thing to do, but when Aria was missing in the past, Elena was in the same condition as she is now.
Even if she was praised as superior to adults from an early age and decided to become king for the sake of her people, Elena is still a girl who has just turned thirteen.
Because the Crown Prince had neglected his official duties in favor of his daughter, Elena had been taking care of his work.
This was no different when Elena was sent to the desert, and even now, she has just returned to finish the work that the Crown Prince, who has headed for the dungeon, has accumulated, and she has had to put in significant effort.
Even now, many nobles and officials are visiting him, and just sorting through them is taking up a lot of time. Although there were civilian officials under his command, political decisions require experience, and even Sera, who was capable of making such decisions, felt that this time there were too many.
