Herscherik (Reincarnated Prince Series)
Chapter Two: Men's Talk and Sympathy and Contact Part One
The day after the massive New Year's Eve party, Hershelik sat on his favorite couch at his own window after breakfast, looking out the window with a worried look.
Only three people are indoors: Hershelik, Kro, who prepares tea after meals, and Orange, who takes care of his sword while forming in a chair on the side of the door, with subtle air wrapping the three.
The cause of Hershelik's expression and the subtle air flowing through the room are all due to the engagement story that was yesterday's New Year's Eve party.
(Unexpectedly, you were able to flatter me. That old raccoon.
Hershelik leaks a tongue punch that doesn't suit its delicate appearance. Although the prince has serious behavior, he and his bellies are the only ones in the room at the moment, so nobody pays attention to the prince's behavior. Because everyone has the same heart.
Yesterday, Minister Barbasse examined Hershelik's engagement to his own daughter.
Engagement from childhood is not uncommon for royalty and nobility. Rather, romantic marriage is rarer. In that sense, Hershelik's father and mother would fall into a rare category even though they are royal.
Almost all of my brothers and sisters are now engaged or have a fiancée candidate. Because marriages to royalty and powerful people in other countries are for the prosperity of the country, and such political marriages are obligatory for royalty.
Hershelik is also royal, so he could marry a leading nobleman or enter the royal family of another country, and Hershelik is also prepared for marriage. But the problem this time is not the engagement, but the content. The engagement of Hershelik, who is also the last seat as a prince and the daughter of that Barbasse minister, without a powerful back shield. That makes a lot of political sense.
In the sense of referring to Hershelik's back shield, it must not be said that the Marquis Ordis, the home of Oran, the lead knight, is also the back shield. But our lord Roland Ordis is retired from active duty, and his eldest son and second son belong to the Knights, but they have a low status, which is a subtle thing to call a back shield.
If an engagement is entered into with the Minister's daughter, the shield behind Hershelik becomes the Marquis Barbasse family. The Marquis Barbasse family is a prime position among the aristocrats and a state that is moving a substantial country. That the status of Hershelik, whose daughter and engagement have hitherto been low among the princes, will rise to no avail. More to the point, as long as the minister holds back, the next king will be in a position that is not a dream either.
Despite the presence of Marx, the First Prince, who will be the next king, this minister, who declared in public, is difficult at this stage to anticipate what he is thinking.
(What the hell are you thinking?
Yes, Hershelik remembers yesterday while asking himself.
"…… the joke is over because it is the New Year, Minister.
Hershelik's voice echoed in the venue where he had quieted down. Using all the muscles in his face to reattach the smiling mask, if he runs his gaze around, his father, Marx, not only the triplets, but the second prince and the king's daughter-in-law are breathing and watching. Incidentally, Prince Six is studying abroad today, and Prince Five and other princesses have not attended the various circumstances.
"No, what's a joke! I am serious about being here.
Saying so, Barbasse smiles and shows. To a very playful laugh, Hershelik regained his calm.
"I am impressed with His Highness Hershelik's brilliance. I thought that if this person had a good personality, I could entrust her with my beloved daughter.
(What brilliant. Ride such a looking flattery!
While intoxicating hershelik considers the following words: I can't answer poorly. It could harm my father and my brothers if I refuse without permission. On the contrary, there is also the possibility of conflict with my brothers.
(I can't believe you came to take it in instead of eliminating it... it would have been easier if you still set me up with an assassination or something.
One day they'll set us up, and that's why we're doing Operation Tiger Hole. The elimination was more likely, and I was stepping on it because it would not be risky to take it in.
"Minister, isn't that just as soon as possible?
It was Marx, the first prince, who stepped forward to shelter Hershelik, who had not been able to respond. Everyone is pointing a favorable smile at the minister, but his eyes don't have any warmth.
"I also know Hershelik is smart, promising and expected in the future, but he is a child and immature. Besides, in a public place like this, even if they talk about deciding on the engagement for the rest of their lives, they'll have trouble.
The words are soft, but translated as, "Turn away your position and your place." The minister laughs furiously at Marx's words.
"Slightly, that's right. What I did was quick. Speaking of which, would His Highness Marx like to talk about your engagement, etc.?
"…… it won't matter to me in this place either.
"No, no, no. You're in charge of a country in the future. As a subordinate, I am worried.
Marx looked bitter for a moment at the words, but soon returned to Prince Smile.
"I'm sorry to worry about that.
I checked later and they said Marx has more than one fiancée candidate, but he's not engaged yet. From the standpoint of the next king, it is not easy to get engaged, which means that there is someone in person who apparently decides that it is in front of the building.
"You haven't given up yet, Mark………"
Oran, apparently aware of the circumstances, shook his head sideways as if he had left the New Year's Eve party. Incidentally, the relationship between Orange and Mark has improved over the past year and a half, and the way we call each other names has returned to the way we were students.
Ultimately, the conversation came to a close at a later date when it meant setting up a meeting place with the Marquis Barbasse's maid.
"Hershey, what are you going to do?
The first person to open his mouth was Oran. Even if I didn't turn on the subject, both Hershelik and Kro figured out that was yesterday.
"I don't care what I do or what I do... I just have to see you.
I have no right of veto at this point in time. Hershelik knew that too. Even if he's royal, he's actually worth less within this royal castle than a minister. If you're going to launch an attack, this is still an ostensibly normal engagement story.
"Turn it off.
Cro squeaks disturbingly as he puts his tea on the table. When Hershelik looks up, his dark red balled eyes are lit with suspicious light.
"Clo, you can't, can you?
"…… just kidding.
(No, I absolutely meant it. Those eyes were serious!
Hershelik turns half-eyed at the clo pointing at the pussy.
"But what do we actually do? You really don't think this is just an engagement story, do you?
Hershelik nods at Oran's words as well. The minister's aim would surely be his take-up, which is a risk factor, and division within the royal family.
(Efficient way. I hate to think about it, but you sacrificed one of your own daughters?
I think Hershelik could be the minister while thinking about it as a parent.
In the past, he appeared ill and assassinated his grandfather, his uncle, the royal people, and his father's first daughter, the one-year-old princess. It's hard to believe that such a human being is special only for his own daughter.
"If you can't turn this one down, you just have to set it up to say no from them.
Or this is the only way, Hershelik thinks.
"If the other person doesn't like you, then you'll end up with something that you didn't.
If you still want to impose it, then you can categorically reject the lady in a considerate way, Hershelik thinks.
"Is that the most convenient thing to do?
Oran nods too.
"…… I am dissatisfied with Hershey, if I say so, will I erase it?
"Mr. Crowe? Which side are you on? Or should we stop saying disturbing things?
The blush and chrome leak and Hershelik scratches in. To the word of the LORD all Crowe did was flaunt his shoulders.
(But marriage...)
Hershelik thinks. The body is a man, but the spirit is better than the woman, either because she has memories of her past life.
(I wasn't really interested in marriage or romance in my previous life either, um...)
But it was a three-dimensional thing, and she was a loving woman when it came to the two-dimensional. I very much doubt if I can fall in love with her instead of marrying her like that, or if I can see her mentally as same-sex.
(My body is a man, but the contents are a woman... but I don't have a sexual identity disorder or anything.
Hershelik himself, now accepting about the man's body. I have no particular difficulty even though it is different from when I was a woman. Instead, there was too much to worry about than my body, and it wasn't the other way around.
(Well, you get used to being human, don't you?
In my daily life, I would get used to it if I looked directly into the bathroom and bath and my own body to get dressed.
If I were a woman, what would have happened?
(I wouldn't have even been in this situation first.
I had the right to choose because I was a prince. My father might have arranged for the princess to marry someone else who knew nothing and was safe.
(Well, it wouldn't matter what I do if I were a princess.
That concludes. The hearts and minds of my stomach went into my eyes. If I were a princess, I'd be surrounded by good-looking people.
(If you were a woman, would you have stuck with both of us?
They are handsome and competent. It is now also very popular with maids within the royal castle. I'm sure I would have been tempted if I meant in a two-dimensional sense. But this is the fantasy world, but it's the real world.
(Because there is a difference between nearly twenty years of age.
Ryoko is thirty-four years old, the contents of Hershelik without any apparent age. That's the age of a previous life, and if I add up my current age, I'm close to forty. It's hard to try to be heterosexual at that point. It is also disastrous that I am not interested in real-world romance, or pale nights when it comes to my romance.
"... Speaking of which, aren't you two having a girlfriend?
A sudden inquiry stops the two bellies from moving. It was meant to be a casual question for Hershelik, but it seems to have been an unexpected one for both of us.
"What suddenly.
"No, I was just wondering. We both do.
Answer Oran's words honestly. Formerly a woman, I'm more interested in other people's love paths than in my own.
"I know that you two are confessed to maids, ladies and city women quite often.
It's like some girl comic book. The two of them are getting confessions. But I've never seen it develop since.
"I'm turning it all down. Uncondensed, but honestly, I still don't feel that way. Besides, I'm a threesome, so you don't have to think about the house.
Oran answers to sigh. He is losing his beloved fiancée. The moon has already flown for more than three years, but he still doesn't seem to be next. Oran is on his way. So I guess, even if the women I've confessed to were shaken up, I would never denigrate him.
"Black dog over me, what about you?
"What do you say?"
"I know. He's been at the training ground a few times!
Clo laughs with his nose at Oran, who laughs with his throat and face in the wind of doing it.
"I'm not dating anybody else, am I? They're just mistaken on their own.
"On my own..."
"As Hershey's butler, I strive to maintain a well-rounded work environment. They are very helpful in giving us the information we need in good faith. But I was wrong. It's hard for them to fight.
Yes, Khlo said and lay down his face, but it was like a play.
(I see. Were some of Crowe's sources maids?
Besides, there is a verse that others think is just to use because Clo was a former person behind the scenes. Only myself and Oran, the exception, are the Lord.
I guess you don't care about anything else for Crowe. Hershelik will draw attention to this.
"Cro, adolescent girls are so hurtful and cheap. Follow me properly.
"Okay.
Cro nods. Afterwards, as the Lord commanded, the crocodile following subtly still became lovely and popular, and the stock of crocodile in the castle rose, but he did not change his mind at all.
"What kind of person likes Hershey to say that?
Oran fights back, which was just being asked. Hershelik thinks about the question.
(Older after all? If it was a voice or something, Mr. Luke would be a moro lover.
Soft motion at the waist to that calm atmosphere, a low but pleasant voice. I'm about the same age as I was in my previous life.
"I wonder if he's an adult with a calm atmosphere after all.
That's exactly what Luke can't say he likes about hershelik.
"He's also smart and sweet, but I like someone with a strong core.
(The inside is important, isn't it?
Yeah, nodding Hershelik.
"Don't you have a preference for appearance or something?
Ask Cro as well. Speaking of which, I probably haven't talked about this before. On second thought, this is the first men's talk of my life.
"Hmmm...... not particularly. It won't matter if you like it.
They prefer the so-called loved ones.
"Yeah, but.
Hershelik slaps his hand with a pound.
"You may like blonde hair and blue eyes!
It was the image of a prince, and blonde Bigeye was a favorite in his previous life.
(Silver and black hair are fascinating, and I like the red eyes of Chro and the pale eye color of Oran, but I knew it would be King's Road!
Yes. Concluding in himself, Hershelik reaches out his hand to the tea that has completely cooled him down.
"Calm, adult, intelligent, gentle and core..."
"Blonde, eye-catching……………."
The heads look at each other and see the Lord enjoying his tea. The closest thing to the Lord's ideals was precisely the Lord's, but the leaders said nothing and said nothing.
