I, Who Was Dismissed as Worthless Failure by my Family and Fiancée, Discovered I had Reincarnated as a Game Character I Raised with Great Care and Vowed to Take Control of my Life and Defy Anyone who Opposes Me. - Chapter 143: A Surprising Apology

Chapter 143: A Surprising Apology

And thus, a low-ranking noble like me must tread carefully within the territories of nobles of higher titles. This principle applies to everything I do and everywhere I go.

In truth, there’s a certain distaste for joining gatherings with them. Whenever I see those who possess titles greater than my own, I can’t help but feel wretched about myself. That’s a fundamental reason I came up with the idea of making convent nuns my mistresses.

Just at that moment, the presence of Saint Hildegard came to my attention. I regarded this as a gift prepared by the divine for my benefit. The instant I thought I could partake in the slightly premature fruit, it slipped through my fingers.

However, the fruit didn’t vanish into thin air when it fell to the ground. It’s still there, so I could simply pick it up again. It should be that simple, but Emperor Gaius came along and obstructed my attempt to retrieve the fruit.

Today was supposed to be different, but here again is Emperor Gaius. Not only that, Saint Hildegard is absent from the church, and in her place is Queen Blanche. In such a circumstance, especially with Queen Blanche present, even if Saint Hildegard were at the church, partaking the fruit would have been too perilous. Regardless, I wouldn’t have been able to indulge in it.

Especially in this era, our reigning Queen is a person of utmost integrity, befitting her position as the monarch of the Holy Kingdom. If my attempt to donate to the church and have a saint as a mistress were to be exposed, it could even lead to the revocation of my title.

“When did Queen Blanche arrive in my domain? If only I had been informed beforehand, I could have prepared a proper reception… It’s quite challenging to arrange things without prior knowledge…”

“No need to worry so much. There’s no need for such formality. The reason I came to your territory was related to Gaius from the very beginning.”

Realizing that I hadn’t made any preparations to welcome Queen Blanche, who had graciously visited, I attempted to apologize. However, Queen Blanche stopped me and went as far as to say that she herself was at fault.

In a situation where I might have expected some form of penalty, I would have felt quite unjust. Contrary to my expectations, however, Queen Blanche took a different approach. She unexpectedly apologized for her sudden visit.

This is the highest-ranking monarch in the Holy Kingdom, indeed.
