My Fiance Is The 2nd Male Lead
The Crown Prince's wish

As a child, Frederick never realized that his mother's affection could be a thorn in his future life. Even today, he felt the affection his mother had given him just because he was born Crown Prince. If only he were not the only descendant of his mother, perhaps the story would have been different.

During this lifetime, Frederick never worried about anything. When there is a problem, his mother will take care of it. Either in a good way or in a way that is not worth describing.

He was not just a child to his mother. He was a sword and shield that would take his mother to such a high position that no one would be able to touch her.

Like a fish that never satiated drinking sea water, his mother was never satisfied with all the power he had.

It is no exaggeration to say that his influence was greater than that of the Emperor himself. After all, Empress Eleanor was the one who put Emperor Theodore Helianthus on her throne. A Kingmaker.

“Your Majesty, your mother called you to have tea with her this afternoon.” Claudia, one of Crown Prince Frederick Helianthus' personal bodyguards said. “He said that there was something he had to say.”

After crashing into his father's study last night, Frederick had not visited his mother at all. He was supposed to have breakfast with his parents this morning, but he decided to skip.

Without thinking about his mother's request in advance, Frederick immediately refused the invitation to drink tea. “Tell him I can't fulfill his request. I must go see the state of the military forces on the border with the Kingdom of Ginryuu.”

He shouldn't have gone to the border until tomorrow, so he still has time to attend a tea party with his mother.

“Your mother knows your schedule, Your Majesty. He also knew you would refuse his request, so he asked if you wanted to greet Lady Serena Tagates.” Claudia carefully gave this information.

“Mother invited Lady Tagates to have tea with her?” Although he asked that, he did not really want to know the answer.

Claudia did not answer her master's question. He just looked at Frederick with a sorry look.

“Haa..., do I have a choice?” Frederick answered while letting out a long sigh.

“Maybe Empress Eleanor is interested in Lady Tagates.” Continue Claudia. “He looks like a warm and cheerful figure.”

Frederick smiled slightly. “You don't have to try to comfort me, Claudia. We all know, Mom did that because I acted last night.”

Part of him felt sorry he had gotten out of control of his emotions last night. But some feel that he needs to take a stand for the actions of his mother who always does arbitrarily.

He himself did not know where this desire to oppose his mother grew from. But after meeting with Serena Tagates that day, he finally found someone to protect with his own two hands. Therefore, he was determined to protect his chosen girl from all sorts of things that might hurt her. Including his own mother.

His mother had always acted to protect the throne, either to protect the Emperor from threats to his throne or to protect him from any threats that prevented him from taking the throne. So as long as Serena Tagates does not meet that qualification, then there should be nothing to worry about.

“Claudia, lead the way to Greenhouse.” Frederick said as he buttoned his official white coat. “There is a tea banquet that I must attend.”
