Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

"Welcome home, Liddy"

"Wow..."

As soon as I left Reid's room, Fried called. I'm surprised because I didn't think you were waiting outside the room.

"Bi, I was stunned. I'm glad you got back to your room first."

"I can't help but go back to the room where Liddy isn't. So, are we done talking?

"... yeah"

Next to Fried was Edward, who was kicked out by Reid. When he noticed me, he bowed his head deeply.

"... thank you for your company, Lady Lydiana. So, did Your Highness call me?

"Yeah. Reid didn't say anything."

"Really..."

Edward looked sorry for him when he was told not to come in until he called him, but he didn't say anything more. Somehow I see Edward.

I've always liked Reid, someone who must still love her. But Reid kept thinking of someone else. Was he aware of that? On top of that, has he continued to love Reid?

……

"Liddy, I'm going home."

"Oh, yeah."

Encouraged by Fried, we left Edward on the spot to return to our own room.

The ladies waiting in the room take me to the bathroom and carefully wash my body. I had a sea breeze and it was sticky, so it felt good to use water.

Clean your body, get dressed, and then come back to your room. Unlike me, Fried is not particularly keen on using water. Apparently, he magically cleansed his body today, and he just got dressed.

The Fried, apparently, was doing some writing, headed to the concierge in the room.

"Fried."

"Oh, Liddy. Welcome home. Wait a minute."

Write your signature at the end and Fried puts the blade pen down. Somehow I was curious, so I asked.

"Letter?"

"Oh, to my father in the country. … Now that we have a conversation about making an agreement with Irvern, we need to get back to you about the progress."

"Agreement?"

I don't know that story. Surprised, looking at Fried, he said with a seal on the letter.

"You told Liddy before, didn't you? Sahaja's movements are becoming more active. Sahaja is reaching out to Irvern, too. There's Hendrick, and I know he's okay, but he's not the top of the country. If the king attaches a promise, there's nothing he can do, the prince. I talked to my fathers and decided to get ahead of me. I pretend I don't know anything about Sahaja, and I'm keeping a secret conversation about a cooperation agreement. Make King Irvern think it's better to work with this one. And I'm busy every day."

"I was doing that..."

Irvern is a friendly country, but he does not have a special treaty with Wilhelm. It's been a friendly country for a long time, because you didn't have to. But the lack of any promises means that when they reach out from other countries, there is no stopping them.

Knowing why Fried seemed to be busy every day, I still thought he just didn't come to Irvern listening to Prince Hendrick's very own.

"Externally, we make it look like a visit to Ilvern, a friendly country, with a queen. In fact, it's true that I responded for that reason. But it's an opportunity to go to Irvern and talk directly to the king. We have to do what we can."

"Right..."

"Oh, of course, there's a parallel discussion about Liddy's recommended coffee imports, so don't worry."

……

I understood that Fried was very busy. I say we stay for just ten days. Well, we have to have a meeting with the kings every day.

I also found out why my brother barely showed up. My brother is a civilian. I guess that's what keeps me busy preparing paperwork and doing all sorts of research.

"Wow..."

If you listen to me like that, tomorrow, I'm having a hard time asking you to take the time out of your way. But this is important to Reid. It was only for a few hours, and I definitely wanted Freed to help.

"Fried, you know..."

"So? What were you talking about Princess Ophilia?

"Uh... oh, yeah"

Fried, who has pulled the letter out, rises up and comes to me. As he reached out, he drew my hips.

"Of course you don't have to if you can't talk to me, but if you can, I want you to tell me."

"That's, yeah. I was just about to tell you..."

It's just fine if you ask. I invited Fried to a nearby couch and sat down with him. I didn't think it was going to be like standing up.

I told Fried how she felt, except that Reid only liked Prince Hendrick. I also told him that Ilya had found out that she was an animal man. Because Fried knows about Ilya. Then I decided it was better not to skip this place.

"... and that's what I'm talking about. So, Fried asked me to be with him."

Finish the story and stare at Freed. He looked me in the eye and nodded.

"Of course, I'll let you go with me. But right. Princess Ophilia knew what Hendrick was up to. So it was that attitude..."

"I can marry whomever I want, and I can't leave that quote, the inheritance, so I'll leave it to my sister, how dare you?"

"Once again, it's a terrible story."

"Really?"

At first, I didn't think that far when I heard the story, but if I heard it from the pressed Reid side, I could see that this was entirely Prince Hendrick's only self.

There's nothing you can do about Ilya being an animal man, not that Prince Hendrick is bad for liking that girlfriend.

But that's why I don't know just how to try to push my sister to the throne on her own.

"Moreover, His Highness Hendrick prepared Sir Lantinotes, who is not a paedophile for her. Reid was furious that you married someone you liked and pushed someone I didn't want to marry."

"Well... if you think about what Hendrick did, maybe it's natural for the princess to be angry. But does the princess hate Lord Lantinotes so much?

"You say you don't like it... hmm. If His Highness Hendrick had been in a political marriage, he would have accepted that it was something he had no choice about, Reid said. I don't know if you just don't like the way His Highness is doing it right now and refuse to do it, saying you're on the shelf about yourself... I think Reid will snort properly if there's only one way to marry him. Because he said it was a royal duty."

"Right."

"... about Reid, I don't think I'm as good as I am"

"Liddy?"

When I told him Porsche, Fried peered into my face.

"Because I could marry whoever I wanted. I'm sure I have no right to say anything to Reid. I'm happy to be married to someone I like, and I can't tell you how Reid feels about being wanted in a political marriage, and maybe I don't want Reid to know."

"Yeah. That's the same for me."

Fried attracts my body and strokes my hair slowly.

"I'm sorry, but I know how Hendrick feels better. I didn't want to marry anyone but Liddy. Because I know what it's like not to like anything else. I can't say that Hendrick's means are bad."

"... yeah"

"Rather, when I heard from him, I even took that for granted. I think it's a priority to get someone I love, and I can sacrifice whatever it takes to do that, because I can understand how he feels."

Each has an idea that cannot be given way.

And that, I'm sure, is right for each of us.

But Reid is also right to impeach Prince Hendrick. Because she's involved, and she alone has the right to blame her brother.

Prince Hendrick must hear it.

Though he had no choice but to silently try to make his sister pay the price for what he had done, he had to hear the sin directly from his sister.

"... it shouldn't have been a bad thing that Ilya was an animal man"

But as a result, it's causing a lot of frustration.

Discrimination should have been abolished a long time ago, but it still spread to the country, and in fact, I saw it as a scene of persecution. After seeing that, there's no way I can say that Ilya has no problem being an animal man.

The wife of the prince of her kingdom is the beast man. Will the people honestly accept that?

At least I don't feel like I can do it in Irvern right now.

And I'm sure it's the same in Wilhelm.

Discrimination against beasts still persists, so both Mr. Titty and Levitt hide who they are.

"I... want to create a country free of discrimination"

"Liddy?"

I didn't mean to say it, but apparently it was in my voice.

Fried looks at me like he's surprised.

I said with determination as I looked him in the eye if he had asked me.

"I want Wilhelm to be a non-discriminatory country. It's like an animal man doesn't have to hide being an animal man to live. Yeah, they're not the only ones. There must still be all kinds of discrimination. Nobility and civilians. The rich and the poor. There's still discrimination I haven't noticed. I want to make that a little bit better… a country where everyone can laugh and live."

"Liddy."

"Maybe that's the country I want to make with Fried"

Becoming the queen of Fried, little by little, my consciousness has changed. But I didn't see my direction clearly.

What do I want? What kind of country do you want Wilhelm to be?

I feel like I've never seen that shape before.

I do not want to destroy the aristocratic society. I think it's a necessary mechanism for my living world. But having an aristocratic society is another matter for the aristocrats to abuse civilians. The same applies to the difference between rich and poor. I can't help but make a difference. But wearing it in a casket, it's something different for the rich to ravage the poor.

I want to get rid of that kind of irrational discrimination, abuse, etc.

It's time to look at Fried's reaction.

Though he was surprised, the joy eventually spread in his eyes.

"That's the Wilhelm form Liddy wants to go for, isn't it?

"Yeah. Of course I can't do it right away, and I could die halfway through my mind. But this is what I wanted to do until the end."

"Right..."

"Amongst Fried's aspirations to make a country, I'd be glad to have this one of mine with me"

He is the one who will be king. So basically, I think it would be nice if he could make the country he wants to make. Because I believe Fried can't possibly do something weird and I want to help him do that.

But in that, I think it would be nice if you could incorporate my wishes with me.

Fried stares back at me.

"Of course, I don't mind. - Liddy's wishes are mine too. If Liddy wants a non-discriminatory country, I'll do everything I can to make it happen."

"Thanks"

"The night before the wedding, I told you. Together we will protect our country."

"Yeah."

Of course I can't forget. Proposal again from him. Because I'm sure I'll remember that for the rest of my life.

"That was also a desire for Liddy to stand in the same spot as me. And now, as my queen, Liddy has spoken for me as royalty. I'm so happy about that."

I can hold him tight. On that back I turned my hands.

"Liddy is certainly walking the same path as me. He's thinking about the future of the country from a royal point of view. I'm so happy to know that."

"Fried."

"I'm sure it will come true. Liddy wants it."

Fried, who tells me to declare, looked very good.

"Let's create a non-discriminatory country. a country that does not suffer unreasonable discrimination. I will spare no effort for that. 'Cause that would make Liddy laugh, wouldn't it?

"- Yeah."

Affirming, Fried laughed. He had a very happy grin.

"Then it goes without saying. For me, there's nothing more rewarding than Liddy's smile. I'll do my best to die crazy."

"Freed. Together, so be it. 'Cause I'll do my best."

Fried, I don't think you want one of us to make a wish come true.

Together, yes. Because we're a couple.

Correcting him softly, Fried said with a confident face, "Of course".

"Of course you have to have Liddy. You lead me because you're always Liddy. Heh heh, when this happens, don't make me want to take over the throne sooner."

In Wilhelm, by convention, when the first child is born to the Crown Prince, the throne is replaced.

And at that time, I'm sure it's not far into the future.

"Liddy, my lady. My loved ones."

Untie the arm Fried was holding, and take my hand instead. On the back of his hand, he spoke as if he had sworn.

"- I love you. I knew I was the only one with Liddy."

"I love Fried too"

They stare at each other.

Fried's face approaches. I closed my eyes naturally. Lips overlap.

While Fried held me tight again, I knew it was good to love this guy, and I sincerely thought he was happy to be loved.
