After Starting a Thread as a Reincarnated in an Unknown Otome Game, I Got Caught in a Battlefield of Beauties - Chapter 17: Meeting the Princess

Chapter 17: Meeting the Princess

632: Former Earthling

I messed up.

633: Anonymous Earthling

Here it comes!!

I wonnnnnnnnnnnn!!

634: Anonymous Earthling

I won tooooooooo!!

Feels so gooooood!!

635: Anonymous Earthling

>>633 >>634

There’s no winner because we all bet that Itchi would mess up anyway lol.

636: Anonymous Earthling

That’s true.

Of course, Itchi would mess up!! (seriously)

637: Former Earthling

You guys… What are you doing while I’m in trouble?

638: Anonymous Earthling

What are we doing… We’re just predicting when Itchi will mess up next.

639: Anonymous Earthling

In the end, no one bet that you wouldn’t mess up, so it wasn’t even a real competition, just a pointless game.

640: Anonymous Earthling

Everyone trusts that Itchi will mess up.

Right, guys?

641: Anonymous Earthling

Of course.

642: Anonymous Earthling

Absolutely!

643: Anonymous Earthling

There’s no one here who doesn’t believe in Itchi messing up.

644: Former Earthling

This is really embarrassing. 

Anyway, putting that aside… Listen to this.

I… messed up the timing to announce my engagement with Leticia, and now I might end up marrying the princess.

645: Anonymous Earthling

Death penalty.

646: Anonymous Earthling

Goodbye, Itchi.

647: Anonymous Earthling

Ah… is this the end of the thread?

With Itchi’s death.

648: Anonymous Earthling

Go to hell, Itchi.

I can’t forgive you.

649: Anonymous Earthling

Everyone loves Leticia-chan so much lol. 

Oh, and here’s a one-way ticket to hell for you, Itchi.

650: Former Earthling

I’m an I◯OCA card user, so I’ll pass on that. 

Anyway, I have no intention of marrying the princess! 

If I’m going to get married, it should be to Leticia, since I confessed to her.

651: Anonymous Earthling

Exactly. Good, I almost had to cave in Itchi’s face.

652: Anonymous Earthling

Phew… Crisis averted. 

True love is justice.

653: Anonymous Earthling

If you make Leticia-chan sad, Itchi, it’s the death penalty for you. 

Remember that, Itchi.

654: Anonymous Earthling

Everyone loves Leticia-chan so much that their murderous intent towards Itchi is off the charts lol. 

Besides, if it’s an otome game world, you could just have a reverse harem, so why not a harem?

655: Anonymous Earthling

T-true…! I never thought of that…

656: Anonymous Earthling

That’s an option. But the main wife has to be Leticia-chan.

657: Anonymous Earthling

Absolutely. We won’t accept anyone above Leticia-chan.

658: Former Earthling

No, I need advice on how to decline this marriage… There’s no way my introverted former self can make two women happy.

659: Anonymous Earthling

Ah, I see.

660: Anonymous Earthling

So much sense in that.

661: Anonymous Earthling

The weight of those words is different.

662: Former Earthling

You guys are really rude, huh!? Help me out with a solution…

663: Anonymous Earthling

Just be honest. You can’t make Leticia-chan sad.

664: Anonymous Earthling

>>663

Agreed. This time, no joking around.

665: Anonymous Earthling

This time, we’re not joking around. 

Honestly tell the king about Leticia-chan.

666: Anonymous Earthling

If honesty doesn’t work, do whatever it takes, even grovel. 

If you manage to turn this down, Itchi, you’ll be a real man.

667: Anonymous Earthling

Good luck, Itchi. The sooner you tell him, the better your chances.

668: Former Earthling

A-are you guys really the same thread members…? 

You’re so different from usual, I’m confused… 

But I’ll be honest.

669: Anonymous Earthling

Good luck, Itchi. We’re seriously rooting for you this time.

670: Anonymous Earthling

For Leticia-chan’s sake, do your best, Itchi.

Well… the thread members are saying all that, but what should I do…?

I’m already drenched in cold sweat, thinking hard. 

In front of me, the king is happily talking about his daughter’s good qualities with a big smile… Sorry, but I’m honestly not listening at all. I just don’t have the luxury for that right now.

Still, who would’ve thought that those usually joking thread members would give such serious advice… Is it going to rain spears tomorrow? 

And the fact that Leticia can make even those merciless thread members so devoted is the scariest thing…

As I was thinking this, I heard a knock on the door and a beautiful voice from the other side.

“Father—it’s Lara Ignis.”

“Come in.”

At the king’s words, the door opened, and the first princess of the kingdom, boasting a beauty rivaling Leticia’s, appeared with her unique odd eyes—one red and one blue, and her blonde hair.

She looked at me and gracefully held the hem of her dress, giving a formal greeting.

“Nice to meet you. I am Lara Ignis.”

“Oh, nice to meet you too. I’m Alto Bersac. Thank you for coming all the way here for someone like me.”

“It’s no problem. I am to be your future wife, after all.”

“Um… about that…”

Lara, smiling without a hint of displeasure, and the king, looking pleased, made me feel guilty, but… I have to say it here… Alright, whatever happens, happens!

Nearly in tears, I mustered the courage to tell them.

“Although it isn’t public yet, I am actually engaged to Lady Leticia Freezing, the duke’s daughter! So, I’m really sorry, but could we please cancel this marriage?”

I then performed a full sliding, jumping bow with all my might.
