When I saw His Highness, who had shunned, I remembered that I had forgotten to say something important.

"I have something to say to Your Highness."

"Talk in this stream? I only have a bad feeling."

"It's no big deal"

"Don't tell me you broke your engagement."

"I won't tell you anymore"

"Already..."

I grabbed His Highness's cuff as I approached His Highness.

"I'd like to talk to you alone."

"What are you up to?

……

His Highness said he would stare at me for a while.

"Got it. If it's okay in my bedroom."

"Yes."

"Shuna and the others wait here."

Master Shuna said to me with a worried face.

"If Brother Rudd is about to attack you, scream. I'm coming to help!

"You can't do that! Shuna, I'm gonna bust you."

His Highness grabbed my arm and escorted me to the bedroom next to his private room.

Behind His Royal Highness's bedroom is simple with a large bed and a little furniture.

His Highness closed the door and looked at me in front of the door.

"What's the story?

"Um..."

My lord waited for me to speak without haste, even when I was in words.

I took a deep breath and opened my mouth.

"Welcome home, Master Rudd. I didn't realize for a while that Master Rudd wasn't here."

"... oh, I guess"

His Highness looked a little complicated.

"But I was kind of wondering if you'd come home early knowing Master Rudd wasn't here."

"Oh well."

I continued slightly down.

"Master Rudd returns and sees Master Schna clinging to Mr. Rudd's arm, wondering if I have to break my engagement"

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, shna is a man"

"Because I just found out"

His Royal Highness looked like he had chewed up the bitter worm again.

I said, staring down again.

"So it's better since Master Rudd came home... than when Master Rudd wasn't here... I missed him..."

……

Your Highness didn't say anything to me when I finished all the words I wanted to say.

Looking up at His Highness's face, though frightened, His Highness stained him bright red to his ears and kept his mouth with his left hand.

Oh, Your Highness is adorable.

I accidentally wrapped my arms around His Highness's hips.

"Yu, Julius"

"I missed you."

I understand that His Highness breathed humbly.

And he held me back so hard that I thought I would be unable to breathe.

"Don't say anything cute."

It makes me kind of happy with the bossy and whining words.

But it's painful.

"So, Your Highness"

"You're my fiancée. I won't give it to anyone. I like you. You like me, too."

I'm supposed to be the one physically suffering, but His Highness said that much more painfully.

I pounded His Highness on the back.

Then His Highness peered into my face.

"Can I kiss you?

All of a sudden I breathed.

My face is hot and there's going to be a fire!

His Highness kept his face close without even hearing my reply.

Oh, it touches me.

The moment I thought so, I heard the door open.

It was Master Shuna who put his face out of the side room.

"Brother Rudd, you can't do that."

"Don't interrupt. And don't bug me."

"The Beast Man has good ears. Than that...... chew in the bedroom and then what are you going to do? Since when did Brother Rudd become a wolf?

His Highness sighed deeply when he shut up for a while.

"A chance at the corner..."

"Brother Rudd's fiancée! Tell me your name."

Oh, I didn't even do that yet.

"Count Nogger's house, my name is Julius, my eldest daughter"

"Sister Julius?

"Oh, yes."

Master Shuna laughed with Nico, clutching His Highness's hand with me in her arms as she came into the bedroom, hugging me.

"Schneider! Julius is mine!

"Yeah, I know! But beast men are creatures who take their turn."

"Are you going to avenge your gratitude?

"Brother Rudd loves it, but he likes crispy cookies more"

I said, grinning couscous, stroking Master Shuna's fluffy head.

"Tomorrow, you'll bake a lot"

"True! I love my sister Julius! It's my turn!

That's what Master Shuna said and buried his face in my chest.

"Schneider! Get away from Julius!

"Dear sister Julius, I love it when it's fuzzy"

Master Shuna stuck to me even more.

His Royal Highness was struggling to rip off Master Shuna as she cracked her mouth, but Master Shuna never showed any signs of letting me go.

"Your Highness, Master Shuna likes me because I can make hard-baked cookies. Master Shuna, I'm sending you the pastry chef I raised, so you don't have to stick around with me."

When I said so, Master Shuna snapped her neck.

"Isn't the way you make it a secret?

"Yes, let's make it a cup of tea."

I laughed at Master Shuna before heading to the door.

Master Shuna followed His Highness in his bedroom when he left me first.

As soon as I tried to follow him, His Highness held my arm and whispered in his ear.

"I never love anything but you. Just trust me on that."

My ears. Your Highness's words and breath tickle.

I nodded cocklessly, feeling the fever of flinching.

His Highness gently pressed his mouth against my ear before leaving my bedroom first.

When I was left, I covered my ears with my hands.

I didn't think His Highness would do that.

I laughed bitterly at the bitter feeling of being kind of happy.
