I Don’t Want to Break off my Engagement…

"Almis has a lot of magic, but the sword hasn't. In this case, Violis would be the right man."

His Highness went on to say that.

"I told Violis that if I detained Baroness Schmier, I would also bring the woman as an important reference person. It should be time for you to take me with you. And......... this is where it becomes a real battle. For Dilria and for Haulfa."

Closing so with a difficult expression, His Highness looked at me and relaxed his expression.

"Than that, Tia. Didn't you hate my smile?

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

To His Highness's sudden words. Am I surprised? I was about to make a pitiful voice, so I pressed it off. It's great, me. Wow, me.

I stared at His Highness, blinking my eyes again and again. His Royal Highness also seems to wonder.

I hate Your Highness's smile............!?

What's that, what's that information! Where did you come from? Words don't follow impossible words. Become...... duh, where did that come from......!?

"Is that enough now?

Her Royal Highness, who curiously hangs her neck, doesn't look like a beautiful girl if she only looks at her face with a light pigmented hair color. Though you are a gutsy man. I said to His Highness in a state of confusion.

"Wait......... what are you talking about!? I don't like His Highness's smile..."

Such disrespect, there is no way I can say it......................................................................................................................................................................................................... His Highness had blinked his eyes several times in silence this time, if I may say so in the way I was stuffed with cut feathers.

"Huh? Oh, yeah...... yes"

"Wait, Your Highness. I have always hated His Highness's smile and so on.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Ridiculous, I almost stopped being so aggressive. No matter how many assholes this prince is a king prince. Don't be disrespectful.

His Highness laughed a little bitterly at my words. That is the answer above all.

"What's happening to you!

"You'd think Tia was kidding...... sorry. That's what I've been thinking for the last decade."

..................... you must be lying!?

I left my back on the back of the couch with incredible thoughts. His Highness was out of sight with an awkward look on his face. And you repeat something, "Well... right..." I don't know what it is, but it's not normal for people to hate people's smiles. Think of me...

When I thought that far, His Highness said quietly.

"You're all right now."

"Now!? I've been fine for a long time."

Or okay. There's no way anyone hates a smile before. I would be pretty out as a human being if I were there. When I corrected His Highness's words as they were played, this time His Highness was looking at me with a bewildered look.

What is it...? I'm kind of tired all at once. Sometimes I haven't been in contact with His Highness lately, but this is how you were...

I feel like this is the first time I've known you since we've been dating for 10 years.

But you cried before.

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

I look upon you in astonishment at His Highness's words. There is a seep of impatience and confusion in His Highness's deep green eyes. Seeing it made me feel restless, too. Did you cry? Me? When?

At least I can't believe I've cried in front of His Highness in the last few years... I don't even remember talking about crying in the first place. His Highness opened his mouth to dispel my doubts.

"Before... more than ten years ago. I laughed in your arms. You told me. [M]" Look at me and don't laugh, "he said... I thought you hated me so much that I didn't even want to see your smiling face."

...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

And what are you talking about, Your Highness?!?

I don't remember myself at all, by the way. What did I tell His Highness not to laugh!? I don't remember that! 'Cause if I told you more than ten years ago, I'd be five or so years old. There's no way I can remember the detailed memories of that time. But there's no way I'm throwing those words at His Highness without meaning.

There was a reason...!

Otherwise it would be too disrespectful, and I don't want to think you were rambling without meaning.

I am busy turning my thoughts and exploring beyond distant memories. I told His Highness not to laugh........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

What shall we do, I can't remember..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

His Highness laughed troubled at me with his sarcastic face blue as I looked.

"If you want it now, that's fine. Tia. I told Tia..."

"When are you talking about!?

"What?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't remember...............! When did I say that to His Highness............!?

A little more hint, I might recall. And I cried unto His Highness desperately, and his eyes blinked, and he laughed a little.

"If you don't remember Tia, it's better now than in the past"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I'm a man who wants to change his past more than I am now."

"............... well. Uh, that's for sure... Tia's five. I guess it was when I was eight... after my birthday party"

His Highness spoke of the past as he had been pushed by my too many swordscreens. His Royal Highness's eighth birthday....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... I remember hearing from my parents that I had an engagement with His Highness just before I turned five. That means me and Your Highness probably just became fiancées at that party. I wonder why such a statement popped up yet......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Party, party... That said, I, when I said five years old, would have been a little plumper than I am now...... Oh yeah!!! The shock ran like it was struck by lightning.
