Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

◇ ◇ ◇

"Princess. Lord Lydiana is here."

On behalf of the soldier who had sent me to the front of Princess Ophilia's room, a soldier who appeared to be the guard of the room spoke to Princess Ophilia, who would be inside.

The answer will be back soon.

"Please come in."

"I understand. Dear Lydiana, go ahead."

"Thanks"

You opened the door, so I'm going in.

The first Princess Ophilia room I entered was somehow not at all feminine.

There's nothing a woman might like. The large room was neat, but unified in brown and green, and one way or another, it seemed more convincing to be said that it was the prince's room.

In more and more prominent places, there is a large executive desk. So Princess Ophilia was headed to the paperwork and moving a blade pen. Right behind that diagonal, stands her escort knight.

Princess Ophilia stopped her hand and rose from her chair when she realized I had come into the room.

"Dear Lydiana! Thank you for coming. Glad to hear it."

"Welcome and thank you for inviting me"

exchange greetings gently. Princess Ophilia's outfit today was the same simple dress I saw yesterday.

She looks at my face and laughs. That's how I told her escort knight.

"Ed, get out of here."

"Your Highness, but I am with Your Highness."

"I said, get out. Can't you hear my orders?

"- Your pleasure."

It looked a little lost, but the escort knight - Edward walked out of the room.

Why did you bother to keep your escort away? Princess Ophilia turns a full grin as she leans her neck if she doesn't know what it means.

"Princess Ophilia?

"I apologize for my disrespect. Let me try you now."

What will you say? To me frowned, Ophilia said nothing and put her hands on her own hair. That's how I pull my mind.

"What...!

What showed up was so short hair that I mistook it for a man. Short hair opposite Prince Hendrick with long hair. It's only about as long as Fried. I thought the hair to the shoulder earlier was approximate, but the hair flashed just like that.

……

I can't tell you anything, Princess Ophilia laughs a lot. That's how I corrected my posture.

"Surprised. That was a rash earlier. By the way, I don't usually even talk this way. - Again, nice to meet you, Dear Lydiana. It's Ophilia Reid Irvern. The castle people are told to do whatever they want with men and women, crazy, freaky princesses. Well, what do you think?

"Why such a terrible name...?

I was also surprised by the masculine tone, but I was more concerned with the name she said than that.

Every call is a terrible disdain. I don't think it's a very good name for a princess in my country. When she saw the princess as unbelievable, she said plainly.

"I'm a pretty woman, but you don't like dressing as a woman. Of course, I hate talking like a woman. If I didn't fake myself, I'd be distant from them and call them that at some point. As far as I'm concerned, I know how they feel, so I don't even feel angrier now."

"He said he didn't feel angry..."

"A princess in her own country would want to complain about a thing like this."

The princess who speaks the language of masochism. But there is no sadness in her expression. I have absolute confidence in my way of life. It looked that way.

And I also remembered the words Kate and the soldiers had said earlier. Kate referred to the princess as a 'male and female princess', and the soldier said, 'Maybe I feel comfortable with the princess'.

That's what happened.

Convinced, the princess clapped her shoulders and said blurry.

"As we did earlier on in the official arena, I'll try to fix it, but I can't allow you to imitate yourself more than you have to. Everyone doesn't like me leaving, and they say no to night clubs as long as they can. That's what I didn't even go to the night club last night. Nobody in Irvern would have told you my story, would they? Everybody knows I'm not going to the nightclub."

"Was... But how could you tell me that story?

If I could fix it, I wonder if I could have kept it.

We only stay ten days. Besides, I don't even meet the princess every day.

That was strange, but the princess did not answer the question, but instead asked me.

"Lady Lydiana. Let me ask you an answer to an earlier question. What do you think when you hear about my hair and how I talk? Oh, for once, I usually dress just like my older brother. I don't like flirty things like dresses. If you're going to hang out with me in the future, that's how I want you to think I'm going to show up before you."

"… what do you think,"

Even to my surprise, I observed the Princess of Irvern.

She was taller than me and her neat dress looked great on her. But if it's about wearing men's clothes, wouldn't that suit you?

He's a neutral face, and he's going to look like a man without discomfort. I thought so, and I kept it in my mouth.

"I would definitely like to see you in men's clothes. He said you look great... Can I just ask you one question?

"What?

Even the trick of leaning my neck made me wonder, thinking I was kind of manly and well-dressed.

"It's what it looked like when you first met me. If you're going to wear a rash anyway, shouldn't you have used a long-haired one? I don't know why you were wearing short rashes on purpose."

Why Halfway Womenswear (?) Did you? That was strange.

"Oh, that's for screening"

"Is it a screening?

When she rebelled the words, Princess Ophilia nodded with a true face.

"It's been my experience so far, but first, people reject a woman's short hair. Women usually have hair on their backs and hips. The reaction would also be natural. That's why I first determine if I don't see a rejection in that hairstyle at the very beginning. If it looks okay, the next stage. I mean, take the snail and make it look real. If you don't step in, and suddenly you look like you are, you'll probably be defeated. And at the same time, it's a means of self-defence."

"Means of self-defence…"

"Nevertheless, most people, both men and women, have a sense of rejection towards me.... Hmm. You look fine."

"I'm surprised, 'cause I think short hair suits you, too"

Shortcut women and others were not uncommon in previous life. Some people preferred to dress like men, and because they remember that, I just thought Princess Ophilia was a hobbyist like that.

- What's wrong with dressing like you?

You think because I lived in a country called Japan, but still I think so. Besides, the original girlfriend is somehow lively and likable.

"As far as I'm concerned, I want you to be my friend."

"Is that as the Lady of Wilhelm?

Zubari asked, and I nodded honestly.

"Of course, sometimes it's because they want me to. But it's best that I myself, seeing Princess Ophilia, wanted to be friends.... can't you?

Would it have been too hidden? But somehow I didn't want to throw up.

Staring at Princess Ophilia. She stared back at me... loosened her expression all the time.

"No, be honest. Plus, actually, you're the first person who's seen this way of talking and hairstyling of mine and said he wants to be my friend. I think I'm honestly pleased with your offer. [M] If it's in this way, I want you to be my friend."

I did not hesitate to hold the hand offered. I was so happy.

"Thank you!

With a full smile, Princess Ophilia said as troubled.

"Please stop saluting me. We must be friends, right? And about me, call me Reid. Is it good about you in Lydiana?

"Oh, then I'm talking about Liddy, so. 'Cause that's what all the friendly people call me."

When I answered the happy suggestion with a smile, Princess Ophilia - Reid also smiled.

"Liddy, right. Nice to meet you, Liddy. I've never seen a woman become my friend after finding out about this. Glad to hear it."

"Nice to meet you, Reid. Glad to be friends with you, too."

I got a little lost, but decided to put it back in its original tone when talking to Fried and my brother.

Reid trusted me to expose himself. I, too, should try to be who I am. That's what I thought.

Smile at each other. I felt like the tension that was drifting inside the room had been lifted. Reid turns his shoulders with glue.

"I'm sorry for being quick, but would you mind if I got dressed? I can't help but dress like I'm unfamiliar."

"Sure, go ahead"

Getting dressed would mean wearing men's clothes. I was purely interested in what she would look like, and I nodded with a smile.

"It'll help," Reid said, heading all the way to the back of the room alone. While I drop that off, I hear what I wonder.

"Hey, don't you have to call the lady? Are you okay on your own?

"Few women want to help me get dressed. Not now, but in the beginning, that's what nobody was there for. That's why I had to remember myself. As a result, I was able to get dressed alone."

"Oh yeah..."

I regretted for a moment that I shouldn't have listened, but Reid's voice was bright. I can see right away that I don't think anything of it.

I thought I had time to get dressed, I sat appropriately on the couch that was nearby and waited for Reid to finish dressing.

"You kept me waiting."

Unsurprisingly, Reid came out in a short time. She dresses well like Fried and Prince Hendrick always wear.

He tightened his clavat and wore a long frock coat with even a thick crotch, but it looked better than he thought.

Is it because your body shape is slender? Unexpectedly, I remembered the male role of a certain opera troupe that was performed solely by a woman from a previous life.

"Wow... looks good. Looks good......!

I honestly got zero compliments. Reid laughs happily when he hears that.

"Thank you. You tell me you look good in this outfit."

"Except you look good, I don't. Rather, is there something else?

"Don't be often told that women are disgusting."

"... what a blind eye to see"

I can't believe someone said that.

I guess you found out I meant it. Reid laughed happily couscous.

"I didn't think the King Princess of Wilhelm was such a talkative person. A lady from the lead Duke's house. Prince Wang saw me and married me in just six months. The drowning of a king prince to the point where he even sounds like Irvern. I was interested in what kind of woman the hell I was, but I'm like this, right? Being a birth warrant lady, I thought you'd be repellent."

"I think it's personal freedom to dress..."

"There are surprisingly few people who think that. Well, it's time to call Ed, who was kicking him out. - Ed!"

Calling his name, Edward, who was being kicked out of the room, opened the door and came inside. I look at my husband, and I round my eyes.

"Your Highness... what do you look like?"

"They say Liddy doesn't mind me like this. No, I'm glad you recognize yourself."

"Wow, I admire any Your Highness! I'd rather have His Highness!

"Oh, I know your loyalty"

Reid gently relayed Edward's words, which he told him to sue. And if I don't need more than that, I'll do something to get rid of it all the time.

Edward lay down his face with a little remorse and just told him, "Thank you," but I didn't miss the look on his face then.

Obviously, a burning love affair for Reid appeared in his eyes.

- This way, I think I really like Reid.

I don't know about Reid, but at least Edward seems to like Reid.

So much so that he dresses up as a man and follows his husband who is neglected from his surroundings. I thought loyalty was thick, but this is totally romantic emotion. Nodding that Prince Hendrick was right.

- Yeah. But sure. I think you like Reid dressed like a man. Are you serious, and do you admit His Highness Hendrick?

I've never known about Reid's men's clothing, but naturally there's nothing Prince Hendrick wouldn't know about it. I don't even know how Prince Hendrick feels about supporting her like that and thinking of his beloved Edward as her husband.

I think the problem here is Reid's feelings.

- So far, I wonder where Reid seems to like Edward.

As much as I keep it on my side as an escort knight, so I guess I have faith. But I don't think Reid's attitude toward him leaves the realm of his friends. In front of me, I can't be as sure as Prince Hendrick, though I may just be losing my temper.

Thinking muh, Reid said as he came up with something.

"That's right, Liddy. It's a beautiful day, and why don't we take a walk in the courtyard? Wilhelm doesn't have the same kind of flowers that bloom, so I think it's fun for you."

"Wow, I want to go!

I am interested in flowers and plants that only bloom in the South. Besides, it said in a book I had read before that the garden was not built like Wilhelm's either, so I would have liked to see it if I could see the actual garden.

"It's settled."

When he saw I was happy, Reid grinned. That way of laughing is also different from when I was wearing a dress earlier, I feel somewhere like masculinity.

Reid has offered me a hand when I admire how awesome she is to look even though she is a woman.

"May I borrow your hand? Lady?"

I put my hand on it with great joy.
