“Giorg-sama, I regret to announce that I am breaking off our engagement.”

　Suddenly, this is what the young lady said when she came into the office without knocking.

“What are you talking about?”

　No one could blame me for saying that in disgust. I was in the middle of my workday, and I could not help but feel uncomfortable when she suddenly spoke rudely to me, Giorg Leoms Zafing. Even if it was from daughter of Countess Serenity, Fiona.

“This is why conversations with a fool like Giorg are so exhausting, you know.”

　Fiona’s face contorts into an ugly scowl as she taunts me. The fact that Fiona’s face is beautiful and ugly is not a bad thing, and she is certainly one of the most beautiful women in the world, but the reason it looks so ugly is because her face shows her true colors.

“The engagement between you and me is a political one between our families. I believe that it would be undesirable for you to break the connection between the two families at your own will.”

　At my words, Fiona gives me a look of utmost contempt.

　As for me, it is true that I don’t have many romantic feelings for Fiona, but I have tried to approach her as my fiancée and future wife. The way Fiona looks at me, it is clear that my efforts have not borne any fruit.

“Brother, you have a bad start.”

　Another person entered the room, also with a sarcastic voice. This person was my half-brother Leon.

　Leon put his hands around Fiona’s waist in a very natural way, and she looked at him with an adoring gaze, and he looked at her with a loving expression.

“So, the daughter of Countess Serenity, Fiona….. has fallen in love with my brother, Leon, and wants to break off our engagement, am I correct?”

　The two of them give me a twisted sneer at my words.

“Yes, I’m sorry about that. Leon-sama is a far better man than you, and a far better person to lead the Zafing family.”

“Brother, if you are going to hold a grudge, you should hold it against your own weaknesses.”

　The two of them mocked me in the same room. In a way, the ugliness of their character is evident on their faces, making them a perfect match.

“I see. Well, I have a few questions I’d like to ask you.”

　My words were met with another look of mockery from the two.

“In the meantime, what does Countess Serenity mean when she says that Leon is the one who will take charge of Zafing?”

“Haa, it’s only natural since Leon-sama is going to be the next Marquis of Zafing.”

“Does this mean that Countess Serenity intends to become the next Marquis of Zafing?”

“Yes, of course. I am the next Marquis of Zafing. You will never be the Marquis of Zafing, as you are not well-liked by the current Marquis.”

　Fiona’s words almost made me sigh, but I could barely contain myself. The effort is certainly worthy of praise.

“So, Count and Madame Serenity are well aware of this?”

“Of course. Father and mother know what we’re doing.”

“I see.”

　I turn my gaze to Leon here and just said.

“Leon, do you consider yourself to be the next Marquis of Zafing?”

“Of course I do. Father has told me.”

“I didn’t hear anything.”

“Why should he tell you that?”

　Leon’s voice was mocking and unpleasant, but he endured it and continued to speak.

“I’m a member of Zafing, so I need to hear it.”

“You’re nothing more than a waste of an ex-fiancee, so why should he tell you?”

“Having that said, I’m working for the Marquis.”

“Shut up!!”

　Leon interrupted me with a loud voice.

“It is only natural that a breadwinner like you should serve Marquis of Zafing. No, you should be grateful that he is using a piece of s**t like you!”

“Well, ……, sorry about that.”

“Fuun, I bet you are. You really don’t know how to talk.”

　Leon twisted his mouth into an ugly grimace and gave me an infinitely unpleasant look.

“Are father and stepmother aware of this?”

“Of course.”

　Leon replies confidently to my words. It’s the kind of look that people have when they are in a position of absolute advantage and are confident that they can never be hurt.

“Well, ……, I see no need to show you any mercy.”

　I said, turning my gaze behind them.

“Roy, Aisha, seize these two.”

“”Yes!!””

　My orders were straightforwardly answered and Leon and Fiona were pinned down on the floor.
