I Don’t Want to Break off my Engagement…

It was in His Royal Highness's private room that His Highness took my hand and went.

A Kingsguard guarding the door lowered his head to me and His Highness and stopped by the door.

His Royal Highness enters the private room as he opens the door to the room without saying anything.

It's not awkward, but it's not a calm atmosphere. Somehow we felt something giddy between each other, and I was halfway down to see what to do.

It has been a long time since I entered His Highness's private room. I feel like I used to play in this room when I was young.

I was urged by His Highness to sit on the couch. As always, His Royal Highness's private room is clean and has nothing extra. A room with ornamental plants, calm and youthful.

"Well... Tia, where shall we talk from"

Even if I ask you that. I don't even know what you're going to talk about.

I saw His Royal Highness. His Highness had his elbows on the table and his hands together. That face is going to be difficult. His Highness often gives this look these days.

"Than that......... Your Highness. Can you talk to me first?

I don't know how to listen to His Highness, but I have something to say. His Royal Highness said, "Hmm?" And when he looked at me, he turned to me his eyes as bright as the sea of summer.

That said, I really liked His Highness's eyes when I was little......

Cut out my business remembering that I didn't care.

"Your Highness... please break my engagement with me"

For a moment, I felt the indoor time had stopped slightly...... but I'm sure it was my fault. I'm not that nervous. But I'm actually nervous that I didn't realize I felt that way.

No, I'm not nervous at all, and I don't know if I'm a chicken surprisingly, even though I think this will finally free me. I'd like to make it southerly for you to eat.

His Highness, who had received my word, had opened his eyes and hardened, but eventually moved slightly.

"..................... can I ask why?

"Oh, you know what I don't have to say."

I don't know what happened and I was close to Baroness Schmier, but I learned something about this one.

That, Your Highness and I will definitely not be good enough to be husband and wife in the future............! Because neither my lord nor I have romantic feelings for each other.

You said you loved me in the venue earlier, but I can't believe it's only ever happened.

Nothing is more unnecessary than a word of love that is faintly believable.

His Highness, who had spoken to me, was clearly pale. Is there anything inconvenient about breaking my engagement?

His Highness, who received my gaze, exhaled briefly.

"What is Baroness Schmier...... really nothing. I didn't say anything to mislead her."

"Oh yeah. Whatever the truth is, it's true that you two seemed to get along."

"That's... I'm sorry. It was royal fate."

"Ouch?

I parrot it back as it is, and then I notice the words rumbling in my mouth. Oumei, come on............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Friendly with her by royal decree? I don't know what that means. Then why didn't you tell me?

"... Tia knew there was a civil war in the kingdom of Dilria, right?

"Yeah, I know."

"Behind it, one woman was heavily involved."

………

His Highness explained to me with a difficult face.

The explanation given in a hard voice is far from how His Royal Highness always looks.

"The second prince clearly went crazy after getting to know the woman. I stripped my fangs of the King Prince, whom I had respected until now, and finally raised my soldiers and tried to fall asleep."

"Prince Wang... you mean His Royal Highness Lion..."

"Lion is reading disturbing movements in the country, and............ he has made contact with me, realizing that there are similar movements in the Kingdom of Haulfa"

"Even in my country...... something similar?

You would never think that the civil war in another country had anything to do with our country, either. I don't imagine it. My spine chilled at His Highness's words.

Where the hell is the landing place for this story going? I got anxious and grabbed the hem of the dress. His Highness finally loosened his expression to my condition and told me to reassure him.

"It's okay, calm down"

…………

When I shut up, His Highness opened his mouth slightly. The word was more shocking to me than it was earlier.

"Perhaps the culprit in the numerous murders that have occurred here recently is not Baroness Schmier."

"Huh..................!?

"She can't turn her head that far, and oh I don't think she'll come up with many means. That's the idea of criminals used to killing."

Again on that word, a chill ran on my spine.

I held my breath, and waited for His Highness's words. His Highness deposited his back on the back of the couch when he took off his assembled hands. And keep the words coming.

"She was saying, wasn't she?

"Something I haven't heard."

"I did what I was told."

"I just wanted to be, I wanted to be involved"

She seemed quite confused, but I don't think the words that came out at that time were lies.... I mean, yeah. Behind her is a man who drove the kingdom of Dilria to ruin. "

To His Highness's quiet voice. Now it is I who have lost my word. I thought it was just a change of heart of His Highness, a mysterious beautiful girl who captivates men. Just strange, a girl who feels terribly bad for the same sex. I just thought that was all... I can't believe that's happening...

His Highness laughed lightly at me for losing the word.

"Besides, Tia. I was telling that girl that I really liked Tia. Especially since I think you only saw us as lovers... I did need to contact her to find out who was behind it. I guess I would have to whisper love to her and draw information, as Prince King of the Kingdom of Haulfa."

So separated the words, and His Highness saw me with nostalgic eyes.

"But I couldn't. I like Tia. I can't do that because I love you."

Lose words in a calm soft voice.

I didn't hear much of a shock.

I can't move my head well. Looks like the language processing function in your brain has gone down.

Rebellion words in a hard moving brain.

Your Highness likes me?

Oh, is that really......... with real romantic feelings?

Ugh, lying ~! I can't believe it.

My lord revealed that I liked him, but I was more upset and surprised than that.

For more than a decade now, I have been engaged and of course have not had any manoeuvres or bare gestures that would make me feel in love.

Yet I wonder what you intend to do now............

It was scattered. I don't think I can help being suspicious.
