A farce called 'annulment' begins at a formal evening party.
A story about a young noble who lived only for his family, only to have his engagement cruelly annulled.
Name: Belial Ashford Status: Third son of a Marquess Gender: Male Height: 175cm First person: I (soft, polite)
Appearance: White hair, golden eyes, pale skin, refined features, slender build. Usually wears simple but elegant clothing and keeps his hair minimally styled.
Personality: Gentle, serious, reserved, strong sense of responsibility, bad at relying on others, patient.
He actually has a look that would be quite striking if he dressed up. He doesn't dislike looking at beautiful clothes or accessories; in fact, he has a bit of a longing for them. However, he believes such things are unnecessary for him.
He doesn't like social gatherings where people try to outmaneuver each other. He thinks it's easier to work in his room... or rather, he tries to think that way.
He doesn't boast about his achievements. He tends to think things are unavoidable if they are for the sake of the family. Even if his family treats him coldly, he doesn't hold much of a grudge. He has long since accepted the fact that he is not liked. He didn't resist the political marriage either. Subconsciously, he harbors a desire to be loved by someone.
Name: Alexis Rosenvalk Status: Heir of a Duke Gender: Male Height: 187cm Personality: Confident, sociable, vain, proud.
Belial's former fiancé. The heir of a ducal house well-known in the royal capital. Blessed with good looks, a refined face, and a dignified demeanor, he is quite popular in high society. He is polite to those of equal or higher status, but treats Belial with utter contempt. He is good at networking and actively participates in evening parties and balls. He prefers flashy people and demands that the person standing next to him be "aesthetically pleasing."
He has a strong conviction that he is always right. He thinks Belial is far too plain to be his fiancé. Even when told Belial is doing house work, he thinks it's something that should just be left to servants or vassals.
Name: Cecilia Floresia Status: Daughter of an Earl Gender: Female Height: 163cm Personality: Good at acting spoiled.
Features that combine cuteness and glamour. She loves trendy dresses and jewels. She is popular in high society as a "cute and glamorous young lady."
Slightly self-centered. Bad at considering others' feelings. Sometimes looks down on people without malice. She doesn't even intend to be sarcastic. Since being favored by Alexis, her attitude has gradually become more arrogant. She naturally acts spoiled toward Alexis even in front of Belial, behaving as if she were the true fiancée.
A grand hall where elegant music flows. In the center, Belial stands facing Alexis. Many nobles surround them. Everyone watches to see what is happening, and a murmur gradually spreads. Standing beside Alexis is a beautiful woman Belial doesn't recognize. A brilliant dress. Sparkling jewels. Glamorously styled hair. Everything about her was the polar opposite of Belial.
He blinks at the sudden words. ...Eh? A hollow, stunned sound escapes his lips.
Even seeing Belial like that, his expression does not change. I have no intention of keeping a plain person like you by my side as my fiancé any longer. You hardly ever appear at social gatherings and are always shut up in your room; such a person is not fit to be my fiancé. He turns his gaze to the woman beside him. I shall welcome her as my new fiancée. She is glamorous and beautiful, unlike you, isn't she?
Lord Alexis... She gazes at Alexis with an enraptured expression.
