Chapter 8: It seems the engagement to my crush was canceled
My mother in anger mode left the room, so I started muscle training immediately until mealtime.
If you think of it, do it immediately! With this ugly and fat body, there is no way I can subdue the evil god!
I started whipping up my aching body and doing push-ups.
āHmm! Huh! Hmm! Zeha ⦠Strength up! Oe ~~!ā
After about 15 times, my arm shook and I felt sick ⦠I feel palpitations.
Of course, I still canāt do sit-ups even once ⦠Can I subdue the evil god with such a body?
The food was delivered shortly, but a little less ⦠no, itās a standard amount, but itās not enough to sustain this giant.
I just swore on a diet ⦠Wow ~~~!
Naturally, the royal family employs first-class cooks. Heās a so-called court cook. The food thatās being served now is also very delicious. Itās the first meal Iāve had in two days, so it was prepared to be kind to my stomach. The chef here may also hate Luke, who trolls ingredients in the middle of the night, but he seems to be proud to serve the food.
Itās a well-balanced diet, so you wonāt get fat with just this.
Then why am I so fat ⦠Lukeās [subspace warehouse] always contains some kind of food. Iām eating more than three meals ⦠Especially a midnight snack is indispensable.
Iāve been in the dormitory of the Dragoon School since April, but even though Iām lazy, I buy food at food stalls on holidays and store it . Although heās a person who doesnāt go out for the basics, he still goes out to buy food by himself.
The [Subspace Warehouse] itself does not have a [Time Stop] function, so it canāt be stored for many days, but it seems to last longer than with normal exposure to the air. It seems that I canāt take it out now because of the [Magic Bracelet].
Well, I swore on a diet so I canāt eat anyway.
If you die once, the contents of [Subspace Warehouse] get empty, but I canāt confirm it now because of the bracelet.

Two beautiful girls visited when the sun went down.
Sheās surprised to hear me say āIām sorryā.
Sheās the second daughter of a Marquis family and is a childhood friend.
This girlās Marquis family was originally a royal family and are close to our parents, and I donāt know how it happened, but it seems that Luke was engaged to her when she was about six years old. Even in this world, engagement at the age of 6 is quite early, but Luke has been happy about it since then.
Luke loved his childhood friend. I clearly feel his feeling that heās glad she came to visit..
Lulutier C. Marrell (16 years old) Height 157 cm, weight 44 kg
With a light purple hair color, it is a rare short hair for girls in this world. It looks great and is cute.
Actually, Iāve been suspicious of the relationship with Lulutier recently. Itās been a month since we started going to different schools. I used to play with her until I was about 10 years old, but since I started to be called āOrc Princeā, I havenāt had many chances to meet her.
I may not be liked anymore, he kept on doing things that she hated.
Luke loved her ⦠too much and stupid Lukeās actions were to catch frogs, snakes, and bugs in the royal yard and chase her around. There was a time he even crumpled her beautifully tied up hair ⦠maybe because of that, itās pitiful but she keeps short hair now.
The stupid elementary school bad boy whoās the worst, and wants his childhood crush to take notice of him.
Even if we talked, I was nervous and could only answer in a blunt manner, so from the perspective of others, it seemed like bullying. Sheās surprised because Luke said, āIām sorry to worry you.ā
āLuke ⦠itās hard to say, but your engagement with Lulu has been canceled.ā
āEh !? What do you mean nee-san?ā
Those close to Lulutier call her Lulu ⦠Luke also called her that.
āI donāt know the details, but Iām sure this case was the cause ā¦ā
āLulu, did you hear anything?ā
Lulutier answers my question.
āYes. This afternoon, the King himself visited my mansion and talked to my father about canceling the engagement. He seems to have been worried about Luās recent behavior. My father was happy to cancel the engagement. No matter how many times I asked for more details, he wouldnāt tell me ⦠ā
I ⦠I canāt help it. Most aristocratic marriages are political anyways.
It seems that the son of an aristocrat goes to school for a grace period to find a partner during that time, if the person brings a partner who matches his familyās expectations, he can marry that partner. However, the age of 18 to graduate is a marriageable age. If you canāt find a partner in the meantime, the aristocratās view of marriage is to marry the partner of their choosing.
Parents also want the best for their children. Theyāre desperate to find a good partner. Even though itās a marriage of convenience, thereās parental love there ⦠well, Iām convinced of the person my parents decided on.
āWas my stupidity this time that bad ā¦ā
Normally, once an engagement is established between aristocrats, it wonāt be dissolved unless there is a great deal of trouble.
The higher the family, the more disgraceful it is to break an engagement.
Since we requested the cancellation, they canāt refuse the royal family. However, itās a disgrace for the daughter of a Marquis family whose engagement has been canceled. I see Lulutier looking at me with an uneasy face.
Itās probably due to Lukeās memory, but his emotions flowed in and my heart started beating faster ā¦
āLulu, Iāve put a disgraceful label on you just because you were involved with me. Iām really sorry ⦠Iām sorry, but I understand your fatherās feelings. Can you tell him that Iām going toā¦.ā
āDoes Lu approve the canceling of the engagement !?ā
āIt canāt be helped if our parents agree. Itās better than Lulu getting married to āPrince Pigā and pointing her back, right?ā
āIāve been waiting for a long time, believing that youāll be back to the old Lu someday! You didnāt think of me at all ⦠youāre terrible! Lu you idiot!ā
Lulutier left the room crying.
What was that now? Eh ~~ !? Iām not the main character of Nibutinās light novel, so I understand! Did Lulutier also like Luke?
If It was Luke in the old days ⦠I think it was before he was 6 years old, we played a lot ā¦
āLuke, you idiot! Chase her quickly!ā
āBut nee-san⦠I canāt get out of my room cause Iām grounded!ā
Pa!
āfool!ā
I was struck by my sister as an idiot ⦠Why do I have to be struck so many times because of āPrince Pigā! Itās unreasonable!
My sister glared at me then quickly left the room. If I leave it to my sister, sheāll take care of Lulu.
Lukeās emotions overflowed, and tears started falling from my eyes.
A knight on the lookout was smirking through the open door and looking at me ā¦
