Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

"Shh, we'll be doing fine all day!

Make a good stretch and get out of the room. The soldiers who noticed me smiled and bowed their heads. And smiled back as well, and I proceeded to walk into Zion's room.

◇ ◇ ◇

The raffle event, which was held rapidly, closed with the best result of more success than expected.

Guests with last-class Japanese confectionery vouchers also came quite a bit, and some people said they became fans of it. It was my aim to spread Japanese sweets to a lot of people, so I was so happy to have them say that, eavesdropping on the story in the shadow of the kitchen, I was happy alone.

Japanese confectionery tastes like nothing else. I thought the management would be stable if there were more fixed customers, but my cheeks remained loose for a better feel than I expected.

And when that happens, I'm the one who wants to increase the variety of Japanese sweets a little easier to get on with.

In the end, when I got the Japanese cafe, I kept going to the store regularly even though it was the frequency that dropped.

"'Cause, you see, I still have Japanese sweets I want to show you... hey?

I know it wasn't much to be praised for, but it was because of this that we had a place where the people could eat Japanese sweets with dignity.

As Chairman of the Wilhelm Commission for the Promotion of Japanese Confectionery, I am not leaving (I am the only member of the Commission).

Fried and his step-parents, who came to the store a while ago, happily forgave me about once or twice a week, and this was surprising, but my father didn't disagree.

"... but don't do anything extra"

I got a novel saying something like that, but he just made sure I had an escort on me and told me all I had to do was like it.

- Oh, my God.

Will he even shake a spear tomorrow?

By the way, I told my brother that, and he was laughing at Guerraggera with his stomach.

"Ah, it's the Duke of Pegegrini"

As I walked down the hallway of the castle, remembering my interaction with my brother, I saw a figure I saw on the other side.

Walking with a tough face is the Duke of Maxwell von Pejegrini.

He is Wilhelm's foreign minister and, needless to say, Will and Glenn's father.

He stopped and bowed his head when he noticed me. Walking to that side, he keeps his head down and expresses his apology.

"This is Your Highness. I didn't notice, and I'm very sorry for your loss. Please forgive my disrespect."

"I don't mind. By the way, this is a royal neighborhood, but what can I do for you, Your Majesty?"

Make him raise his face and ask for it.

Away from me or Fried's room, but the place I walk is a clean royal neighborhood.

I know that the royal settlement is a place where only specially authorized persons can enter, and that the Duke of Pegegrini is also a qualified person for it, but it was simply unusual for him to be here, rarely to be seen.

"Yeah. In a hurry requirement. I heard you were in the private room."

"Yes."

Nodding at the Duke's words.

As surprising as it may be, this is actually the first time I've talked to the Duke of Pegegrini face to face.

It is a famous story that my father and the Duke of Pegegrini are unfriendly, avoiding each other unless my father and he need each other. I have nothing to do with it, but seeing each other is really less frequent when parents avoid each other. It's not like I want to meet someone special, so I haven't had a chance to talk to them before.

I talked to him decently like that, and it felt strange since I became Princess Wang, but I was under the impression that it was easier to stick with him than I thought.

As much as I hate my father. I guess my daughter doesn't like me either, and I assumed on my own that she wouldn't take an unpleasant attitude... as normal as clapping out, or standing up for me as a proper queen. I knew perfectly well that was talking to him.

- Oh, well, that's right.

Convinced. I'm sure the Duke doesn't confuse public and private, he's a decent guy.

If you think about it, he's Will or Glenn's father, someone who serves as Foreign Secretary. My father never complained about the Duke's work either, and I guess he's a trustworthy head cutter on that point.

As the Duke remembered "speaking of which," he said as he rewrote his impression in himself of a person named Duke Pegegrini.

"Surely Her Highness knew the story of the Princess of Irvern coming to Wilhelm?

"Yeah, Fried told me."

Prince Hendrick's sister princess. Not long ago, Fried told me about it, and I was looking forward to everything.

"Should I take care of the princess? It's okay. I'm gonna do it right."

Of course, when it comes to taking care of people, it's like talking to them or something.

The only royal woman currently living in the castle is me and my mother-in-law, so it's an erasure method, but Fried has asked me to do it right away, and I was going to do my best to get along.

This is my job as Princess Wang. I'm simply glad to have more royal friends, and dreams were spreading about where to show them, and maybe like Japanese sweets too.

"When will you be here? I'm looking forward to it."

Time has elapsed since I heard you were going to reschedule. We should have decided on a specific date.

Asked with the feeling that the Duke of Pejegrini, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, would naturally know, he said with a slight silence, "Actually -".

"It's a little difficult to navigate. I was just about to report the matter to Your Majesty. I heard that Her Royal Highness will take care of Her Royal Highness, so it's up to me to talk to you."

"Yes... it is. Too bad."

The princess's study abroad is what she said. So I thought it would be decided so much.

Clouding his expression, the Duke of Pegegrini said as he bowed his head again.

"Nevertheless, it doesn't seem like it will be discontinued at the moment. However, I think you will have some more time. That's all I want you to know."

"Okay."

It is the work of my father-in-law and the Duke of Pegegrini that I am coordinating, and I only follow what I have decided. I didn't mean to complain, but I was grateful you told me because you cared.

"Thanks. I was wondering what happened, so glad you told me."

"I'm afraid so. Speaking of which, Your Highness. Do you mind if I ask you one thing?

"? Yeah."

Successfully, the Duke of Pegegrini said.

"Are you happy to marry Your Highness?

"Yeah, I'm very happy... but what's wrong with that?

I wonder why you've asked me that. Leaning his neck, the Duke of Pegegrini loosened his mouth slightly.

"I had the opportunity to see His Highness the other day. That's when you said it. He said he was very happy to marry Her Highness. When what I wanted came true in the best possible way, I was already in love with your happy face, so I just wanted to ask Her Royal Highness what happened."

……

Where the hell is Fried talking about?

I'm glad, but every once in a while he's in love with something I don't know, so a third party tells him and he takes damage.

Embarrassed and blinking his eyes, the Duke of Pejegrini nodded in full.

"You look happy and most importantly. At this rate, you don't seem to have to worry about your son, as long as you're at ease."

"Uh, the..."

Hard to reply to. Misleading the reply, the Duke of Pejegrini now laughed out loud.... unusual.

"Your Highness seems happy, too, but I'm more than happy to see His Majesty watching it. Your Highness and stay happy forever."

"... thanks"

In gratitude, once again, this time deeply bowing his head, the Duke of Pegegrini walked towards his father-in-law's private room.

I stare at that back.

- Something was out of the beat.

Just talking about it didn't seem very much like he hated my father as much as a snake scorpion. I liked the proper attitude, and to be honest, I like it a lot.

I also found that he was sincerely pleased to have married Fried, and the impression was completely overshadowed by the current conversation alone.

"Duke of Pegegrini. Ah... I heard you and your father were friends with a dog monkey, but you didn't look like that at all"

It was sensible and it felt very good to have responded. It comes from every word that I swear allegiance to the king. Or will it change if I put my father in front of me?

I'd like to see that. That's what I thought, and I remembered what I was going to do again, and I was in a hurry.

"Ah... it wasn't if I was relaxing"

I was going to give Lena the letter that came to her. For that reason, he contacted Theon in advance and asked Lena to stay in his room.

"Let's hurry..."

No matter how much the Crown Princess is, you can't possibly make her wait and be late.

Maintaining the speed at which I could maintain my critical majesty, I hurried to Zion's room.
