She paled, and the smile on her face stiffened. The last time Volte saw her, he didn’t realize she’s his fiancée. Because, he’d only seen her once, when they were children.
What’d happen the second time they meet? I don’t know, but I do know that Rossa-ojou… is afraid of Volte finding out her identity.
It was only after everything passed that she remembered her past life. She’d already disguised her gender and deceived the royal family. Though… it’d be great if that’s all that happened.
But, Rossa-ojou’s parents received support from the Royal Family, and proceeded to sell it to fulfil their own greed. Once she’s found out, they’d blame it all on her and run away.
And, Rossa-ojou also mentioned;
“Taya, I… After my true gender was exposed, His Highness Volte would break off the engagement, and I could either be exiled, sent to a brothel, or thrown into prison… Thinking about it, I’m scared…”
She’d confided the last time she visited. Rossa wants to amicably break off the engagement with him. But, using Volte’s infidelity as the reason felt wrong.
“I mean, both Taya and Prince Volte are destined mates…”
I’m Volte’s destined one. A life of anonymity isn’t a choice for me.
“Rossa-jou, I thought I’d met you before. I asked around and… it seems like you’re my fiancée?”
Aah, he found out.

“Ktja wjs yf agef, yea…”
We whispered amongst ourselves in front of Volte, talking about things he didn’t understand. Irritated, he hit the table forcefully.
Dan!!
“Hii–!”
“Lute?!”
We held each other’s’ hands in surprise.
“I’m not so conceited as to assume you’re having a fall-out over a strong alpha; Taya and Rossa-jou aren’t the type to do that. –Somehow, I wonder, Taya and Miss Rossa, if you two have instead, a secret I’m unaware of?”
He’s sharp! –But, how does one even begin to explain? Between myself and Rossa-ojou, one was transported here, while the other, reincarnated. Furthermore, the fact that Rossa is a Beta?
No no no, no matter how big the problem is, we must discuss it carefully. After all, my lover is Volte, the first prince of this country, and a member of the royal family. Said prince’s words will decide Rossa-ojou’s future.
As I thought so, Rossa-ojou clasped her hands together and opened her mouth.
“Your Highness Volte, I, I’m actually… not an Omega, but rather, a Beta.”
“What, Rossa-jou is a Beta?… You dared to lie about your gender?!”
Volte’s low-pitched voice sent the fine hairs all over our bodies stand on end. I immediately took Rossa into his arms.
“Taya…”
“Taya!”
Rossa-ojou trembled in my arms from Volte’s intimidation, her ears flattened until it blended in with her hair.
“Is that true?”
“W, wait… c, calm down, Lute. R-Rossa-ojou knew this was gonna happen… but she still told you! Please don’t scare her… and hear her out.”
“But…”
Holding her in my arms, we trembled under Volte’s gaze. Volte clenched his teeth so hard I could hear it crack. Or maybe that’s his hands on the table?
“… Shit! F, fine, I’ve calmed down—so? Rossa-jou is actually a beta? Are you sure you’re not lying on that too, since you know of the relationship between Taya and I?”
“N, no, I’m not lying.”
Hearing that, Volte took a deep breath.
“I see… I’ll have to dole out some kind of punishment for lying about your gender, but I’m relieved. I thought I’d have to hurt my fiancée Rossa-jou once I found my destined partner. Now, even if I break off my engagement with you, you won’t be hurt.”
“No, not at all. Rather, I congratulate you two for meeting each other.”
Rossa-ojou let out a sigh of relief from my arms. With this, she’d avoided the exile, sent to a brothel, and imprisonment endings.
“Well then, let’s move on from the subject of lying about your true gender and breaking off the engagement… So? I wonder how much longer you two will hold each other like that in front of me.”
“Eh?”
“Ah!”
Volte’s current mood was scarier than when he was told Rossa-ojou was a Beta.
