Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

"Your Highness, if I may, I would like to continue what I just said."

Fried nodded at his father's words.

"That's right. Uh, about Cain. But should I ask Liddy about him instead of me? Besides, you should pay someone. I promise you there's no danger, so I suggest you lower your guard."

"And the guards?

My father kept an eye on him, but he immediately made a decision and ordered him to do so in a rusty tone.

"If His Highness says so.... everybody, back off. Will, Glenn, Theon. I want you to go back to your positions."

Father lowered the ladies and guards who were there, and urged Will, Glenn, Theon, and others to leave.

They must have lowered it just in case. Will and Glenn know Cain with black eyes, and Theon knows him with red eyes, so I don't mind staying, but I decided to keep quiet.

Will and the others left the room without saying anything extra.

"Liddy"

When the door is closed, Fried urges me. I opened my mouth accordingly.

"Uh, he says Kane. Well, there's a lot going on, and you're signing with me. Mostly my Shinobi... escorts me, and my arms stand to the extent Fried admits."

I didn't know how much to talk about, so it became quite ambiguous.

But I thought it would be good because I didn't lie, and my father looked uncomfortable.

"Don't say that in a cloudy way. What do you think you paid for? We also know that you helped a Hiyuma man before. His eyes are black, but isn't he from the Hiyuma clan?

"... uhh"

I was stuck in words by my father, who cut into me without any hesitation. Cain wanted to keep quiet about the Hiyuma clan because it was going to be confusing, but the eyes of the incumbent prime minister could not be deceived.

"Um...."

Now he's using Dellis' medicine and has black eyes. That's why I thought I'd get away, but my father didn't seem to suspect Cain was a Hiyuma family.

What should I say? Cain opened his mouth when he was worried.

"Princess, I don't care if you tell me everything. It's nothing to worry about, and it's nothing to keep a secret from now on."

"Are you sure?

"You care too much. You know Alec. I'll do what the princess decides, so do what you want."

"Thank you."

If that's what Cain says.

I took a deep breath, again against my father.

"That's right. As your father said, Cain is a Hiyuma clan. The real man has red eyes, but now he is using medicine to darken his eyes. Make it easy for me to escort you. Of course, I know Frieds around here."

Turning to Fried, he nodded as if he were right.

Looking at it, my father's harsh voice eased a little.

"... I see. You chose the Lord. And Hiyuma hath ordained his Lord himself, and thou hast saved thy life, and hast thou noticed it? Hiyuma is a family that will surely repay the favors it has received."

My father sees Cain. The gaze was sharp, but Cain was flat.

"No. That's not why I chose Princess."

"Huh? Then why?

"There's no reason to tell you that. I only obey the princess's will. Father, I don't have any reason to listen to you when you say you're my husband."

Father watched slightly over Cain, who said clearly that the prime minister of a country was in front of him. I nodded as if I was convinced.

"If it's the Hiyuma clan, it makes sense. Okay. So that's how you chose your daughter for the Lord by your standards?

Ah.

Hearing Cain's reply, my father saw me this time.

"Liddy"

"Yes, yes."

"You made a formal contract with him, didn't you? You know what the Hiyuma family is, what kind of person he is, and you're putting him on your side?

"Yes"

I nodded without hesitation.

My father stares straight into my eyes. I didn't miss the eyes. My father stared at me, but eventually he turned away and said to the king and stepmother who were watching.

"There seems to be no particular problem with a man named Cain. Your Majesty seems to approve it, and I hope you recognize it as your daughter's escort. I'll do the same for you."

Good.

The king agreed to my father's words.

"I don't want anything to happen to my son's loved one. Excellent escorts are welcome. Elizabeth, you should remember him too. They say it's a new escort for the princess."

"Okay."

My stepmother answers honestly.

I couldn't hide my surprise at the way they reacted, but I'm glad they admitted it.

"I'm glad..."

I thought it would rub a little, so it was an unexpected joy.

My father said to my brother as he stroked his chest down.

"... but Alec... Looks like you knew him a long time ago. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Ah... I thought you'd definitely say that..."

My brother opens his mouth while his father stares at him.

"I can't help it. Friends kept me quiet. I'm not bad."

"Hmm, to Your Highness. I can't help it... I was watching you cover for him earlier, Alec, but have you been in that man a long time?

"Really? I don't think so. He said he was just a friend."

"Friends?

My father snorts and turns to Cain for the second time. Cain's gaze convulsed his face.

"Bye, stupid, Alec. Don't say anything extra!

Angry brother has a jittery face. I said to Cain blinking my eyes.

"Yeah? I didn't say anything extra. It's true you're my friend."

"Ahhhhh! So stop it! You know the Duke's bastard isn't a good date!

"What? What are you talking about, Cain? I don't discriminate against my friends, do I?

I can only agree with my brother's words, which he said were crispy. But Cain showed a desperate expression and then looked at me with a broken body.

"Hi, princess."

"Uh-huh. What's the matter with you?

"I can't do any more. In the meantime, we've met, right? I'm getting away!

"Ah...!

Soon after retaining him, Cain set a mark and disappeared from the scene.

I guess I couldn't stand it. He couldn't even wait for my reply.

"Ah! Cain's got away!

My brother says with regret. Fried said to his brother with a bitter smile.

"No, that was your fault. I think it was more like a needle to him."

"Really? He's not the kind of balls you care about, is he?

My brother leans his neck. My father grabbed such a brother's shoulder.

"Alec"

"Aaah!

My father's hand has muscles. I knew at a glance that I was putting a lot of effort into it.

"Wow...."

"Dad, wait! Hey, hey!

"It hurts. Alec, I need to talk to you.... Your Majesty, too. Would you be so kind as to join us?"

With his hand on his brother's shoulder, his father says to the king and Fried.

"Eh, well, so am I."

From the flow of the story, the contents are probably about Cain. Then my husband raised his hand thinking that I should go too, but my father shook his head.

"You're good."

"But...."

As he devoured, the king said softly.

"Princess, as a matter of fact, Elizabeth has been waiting for you long enough for your return. He wants to have tea with me. Could you make that wish come true, please?

"Oh, is that so?

Turn your eyes to check with your mother-in-law. My mother-in-law seemed surprised that she had spoken to me, but she nodded immediately.

"Yeah... I thought it was short, but ten days is surprisingly long. Would you be so kind as to go out with the tea?

My beloved stepmother begged me to say no.

Of course, I nodded at the invitation with all my strength.
