"Father, are you here?"
Wait for permission to enter and open the door. Main room slightly larger than Arthur's. The person sitting on the big couch looked back.
Exactly the same color as Arthur. Silver hair, blue eyes. Your face doesn't look that similar, but you can still tell at a glance that you're a parent and child. Unlike Arthur in his neat shape, he was plump, but for that matter, Pierce Rock as king seeped out.
"Are you finally here? I think it was quite a while ago."
My father looks grumpy and points his gaze at the couch in front of me. said Arthur as he sat back where he was directed.
"I was looking into the Gemini matter, of your order. If you have any doubts, please ask Diedrich. He was with us."
I'm not throwing up. The king nodded as Arthur said all he had to do was ask Diedrich.
"I don't mind if that's the case. I was wondering if you ran away again. It's about you anyway. Is that how you know what I'm trying to say?
"... come on, get married. Is that what you're talking about?"
"Don't you still understand? That's right. You're already twenty-five. Don't ever say you don't like people, but as the next king, you need to marry the Queen."
"... I know"
Prince Wang, I understand that you must marry and have children more than you have been born to such a status. When he showed an honest attitude, the king looked horrible and had embarked on himself.
"Right! Have you finally understood? I was always worried you'd run away when I told you this story. Yeah, well, there are a couple of ladies I'd definitely recommend to you. I'm not asking you to decide here. Let's make a pageant first, then..."
"I have a woman I've decided on in my heart, so I'm not going to marry anyone but that woman"
"What? You're the one who hates people?
Arthur gave a grin to the king who blinked his eyes.
"Yes. You're right, Father. I won't tell you who that woman is, by the way. I'm still in the process of dictating, right? I don't want to be disturbed."
"So, the foretaste of a natural mutation... you dictate a woman, etc..."
"... Father"
I sighed as much as I said. The king comes stuck like he returned to me hah.
"Arthur! Oh, you, that story is true, isn't it? When the hell?"
"No matter how long they say... It's true. Oh, yeah. I will only erase your father's concern material first. I haven't mentioned her name yet, but she's a Marquis' maid. There's nothing wrong with your identity, is there?
"Wouldn't you say your name? Why?"
The king, who had listened to him as if he were in awe, gave him a much blushed face.
"I still don't want my father to know. You don't have to worry. I'll propose to her - and I'll bring her in if you agree. So until then, please wait a little longer"
My father would have convinced me, too, because I didn't tell him my name, but I confessed that they were there. That's what I thought, but the king looked up.
"How much more exactly is that? I certainly congratulate you on being willing to marry me. I don't have a problem with her identity if she's a Marquis' maid. But does that warrant really exist? Even if you don't tell me who you are, and they tell me to wait, it just seems to me that you're throwing up lies for not wanting to get married. If you're telling me to wait, at least tell me what kind of warrant it is. Otherwise, trust me."
For various reasons, the fact that I have been avoiding marriage for a long time came here and went behind my back.
They suspected that we might not be able to postpone the marriage, but Arthur said it clearly.
"I don't like it. I won't give you her name."
"Arthur!"
The reprimand flew, but Arthur did not answer. If you give Silvi's name here, the father in a hurry for his son's marriage will definitely move. That was visible.
"I get her my way. Father, I don't need your help."
"... that's why I'm saying I can't be trusted"
low, roaring voice, the king said.
But even Arthur can't retreat.
Staring at his father with a strong will, the king sighed an oversized sigh.
"Okay.... then, six months. Six months from now, just for your birthday, we'll have a celebratory feast. I'll get you a place, Arthur, where you can make your fiancée nominations."
"Engagement nomination, is it"
The rights allowed to Prince Wang, the engagement nomination was brought up, and Arthur turned his eyes round.
"I'm not complaining about what kind of daughter you call a warrant if it really exists and accepts your proposal. I will bless you in silence. Finally, I can finally show off a lot about you.... Arthur, please, take the stage. You are the Prince Wang."
Father.
"Oh yeah. And one more thing..."
Separating words, the king looked to Arthur.
"If you fail to bring them to the feast with the woman you fell in love with, then make an engagement nomination to my recommended maid. You got it."
"... I thought you said I wasn't willing to marry anyone but her. No matter how much you say, I refuse anything but her."
"Don't pry, I often say push only your demands unilaterally to make you do what you want. If you want to marry that woman so badly, six months from now, you'll just have to take her to the venue. I'm supposed to be saying I bless you."
"... ok"
Arthur nodded under the silent pressure of his father not to make any further concessions.
It is not preferable to be put on deadline, but nothing is said for at least six months. I thought that would be a good enough story.
"Let's take a talk. If you need to be on the stage to get her, I'll take that too. I will definitely stand with her and show her on the stage prepared by her father.... then Father. That's the end of the story, isn't it? I beg your pardon. I still have work to do."
Return the crevice.
The king did not blame Arthur for leaving the room before obtaining permission.
