Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

"I know that kid has seen you better. You're nothing wrong. It would have been desirable and rather unhappy for the prince king of Irvern. I can deduce that you're also struggling. But I'd like to ask. As queen of this country. As the mother of that child. Are you just someone who can be given? I just want to know if you're just shivering and being protected, or if you deserve to be that kid's wife."

"My queen..."

In a sincere inquiry, Ilya looked hazy. That's how "I..." makes a lost voice.

I've waited awhile, but the words don't follow. Just lay her eyes down and Ilya was shaking her lips.

"Ilya, good luck"

I also thought about pinching my mouth, but I couldn't help but support it. Ilya turns to me.

I shook my neck sideways, feeling sorry for those eyes like I was asking for help.

"Ilya knows, doesn't she? This is a story that Ilya needs to answer. I also know that Ilya is shy. But you know you can't do that now."

"... Yep"

Cochri and Ilya nodded.

"I know. But..."

"What does Ilya think of His Highness, Hendrick? You're just married because your father ordered you to? What does Ilya think of His Highness Hendrick, who thinks you can throw everything away for Ilya? Do you like it or don't you? Or was it annoying? That's what the Queen says she wants to hear."

……

"Okay. Ilya regrets marrying His Highness Hendrick."

"Liddy!"

Ilya screamed, but I didn't stop.

"'Cause, right? Ilya doesn't say anything. If you're not going to say anything, I'm going to have to guess. For example:' Because you married me, Your Highness is in a painful position. I wish I hadn't married His Highness', or something. And then there's 'cause I'm the Beast Man. You just have to leave me. I'm going back to my country, and I'm going to ask Your Highness to marry me a new queen."

Arranging things mature and proper changed Ilya's complexion.

"Wow, I don't think so!

"Then tell me. No, it's not. It's what I'm thinking. You're not gonna tell me anything, are you? I don't think I can help it if it's misunderstood.

"It's..."

To my words, Ilya looks like she's about to cry. I feel like I'm abusing a little girl. But I know you can't put your hands on it here.

So I won't help.

"If Ilya wants to be misunderstood, I think she should keep her mouth shut. Even if Ilya doesn't do anything, I think His Highness Hendrick will move on his own. All you have to do is get to Your Highness in silence. I think that will do. But are you sure that's good? You don't mind exchanging words with Reid, who got the hang of getting along because of this? Are you sure you don't want to regret not telling the Queen what Ilya thinks because she set up a place to listen to you? If you don't, you can do it on your own."

That's all I can say.

Neither the queen nor Reid pinched a single incision. I was just staring at Ilya.

I see her again, too.

Ilya was distorting her face and putting tears in her eyes. But I raise my voice desperately.

"I don't... I've decided to regret it"

"Then tell me. Now, everyone listens to Ilya. Because he wants to hear it."

"... Liddy"

"Good luck, Ilya. If you say you can't... right, you can't work hard for His Highness Hendrick? I can do my best for Freed, even if I don't like it. Is Ilya different?

If it's for someone you love, you can stomp as much as you want, and I'll try my best.

That's nothing special or anything. I think it's something that girls can do.

To my inquiry, Ilya muttered, "For Your Highness's sake..." That's how I take many deep breaths.

"Thank you, Liddy. I can do my best for Your Highness."

"Yeah."

Nodding, Ilya bowed her head toward the queen. That's how he pulls his lips together cuddly and exhorts himself to open his teasing mouth.

"My queen. Wow, I... I'm a weak woman who has always just had Her Highness protect me....... If you can't do anything to move from yourself like Liddy, you can't get rid of the defamation around you like Master Ophilia, and you can't be laughing hard. But..."

Lift your head. Above that head, the cat ears I'd been hiding were shaking.

"As you can see, I am a beast man. But it's true that I love Your Highness. I don't want to leave your Highness. Your Highness... I don't even want to think about having children with women other than me."

"So, even if you know the country could be rough?

Inquired in a quiet tone, Ilya nodded, though lost.

"... Yes"

"Yes. So what are you going to do if Hendrick tells you he's leaving the country? That child, who is no longer Prince Wang, has nothing. There's nothing left for that kid, no status, no honor, no wealth, and there's only hard work in the future. Answer me when you understand that."

It was a harsh word, but it was also indisputably true.

If you are no longer the King Prince, nothing you had when you were the King Prince will remain with Prince Hendrick. It's all national. Because it is the Prince Wang who was given it.

I've also been asked by Fried before.

I was wondering if you would love me even if I was no longer Prince Wang.

I was not lost in it and replied 'yes'. It is not the Fried Prince Wang that I loved. If he is him, I don't care who he is, and if he has to, he's ready to open a small restaurant and feed him.

I think that's what the promise of being with you for the rest of your life means.

Promise that no matter what happens to them, they will remain on their side the same.

I see that the Queen is asking about her readiness.

"... If Your Highness wants me to, I want to get everywhere. I don't care where His Highness is. Wherever you want to be with me, whether you're in a shithole or a wild boarding house. There's nothing untrained about wealthy living. It doesn't make sense without His Highness."

The queen smiles at Ilya, who whispered but clearly told her.

"Yes. You're ready for that, aren't you? Then there's nothing for us to say. Do as you please. Ophilia. I'm sorry for you, but from now on I'm going to have you educated as the next king."

"Yes, Mother. Above and beyond."

Reid nodded with a smile as well.

"If my sister-in-law is ready, I'll have to brace my stomach, too. Just, Mother. I'd like to welcome to my son-in-law the man I want too, if I may."

To Reid's words, the queen frowned, "Oh."

"Weren't you the one who said anyone was okay if it wasn't Edward? I think I heard that story yesterday."

"That's what I thought... that... I had a man I liked. It's an unexpected position to be the throne. I reconsidered that I was happy to be at least the person I liked as much as I was married to."

"Well... to you, my favorite man?
