At the entrance, the butler welcomed me, but when I finished my greeting, the butler whispered something to your father.Is something wrong?

"What!? Did my brother-in-law touch you first?"

The butler told me about the incident and my father looked steep.And here's what they tell us.

"Sieg. Rio. You may be tired, but come to the reception room when you're done dressing. I need to talk to you."

There are some disturbing signs.

Oniisama and I nodded and decided to go back to my room for now.

When I returned to my room, Marie welcomed me.

"Welcome back, Miss Leon. Thank you for your hard work.Herbal tea will be prepared before the bath. "

"I'm home, Marie. That's it. Is your father calling you?Could you get me some room clothes? "

"Well, what can I do for you at this late hour?I understand. We'll be ready soon. "

Marie entered the closet in a little haste.

"Hey, Leon, your uncle said you had a lead, didn't he?What do you think it is? "

Leon enters my room and turns into a cat.

I'm tired of all this, so first of all, I'm a healing lid.

Lift up Leon and sit on the sofa to enjoy the fluffy fur. Oh, it heals.

"Mostly, I told you I apologized for advancing the engagement story on my own."

Do you think so?

I secretly contracted with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to arrange my own engagement.I take it for granted that we come to apologize, but our family is as angry as a fiery fire.Would you accept an apology easily?

Worst case scenario, your mother could cut off your brother and sister.

"... what does engagement mean?"

I feel cold from behind. Looking back afraid, Marie stood with her clothes in her room.It was also a frozen smile...

This smile is the face of a very angry man.

"Yes, that's right, Marie. Ah, I'll talk to you later...."

"No way... did Prince Bacchus do something?"

Hey, sharp!

"Can you tell me more later?"

"Of course, I won't hide anything from Marie!"

The details are highlighted.I think we should talk about this without covering it up.I'm afraid of Marie's reaction afterwards...

Leon froze with Marie's cold air.Your hair is standing upside down and you can't move.

Holding a tight leon, knock on the door of the reception room.

"Come in."

I heard a voice prompting my father to enter, so when I opened the door, all my family except May had already gathered.

May had been awake for a while, but she was tired and fell asleep.

I sit next to oniisama.

"We're all here. Let's start a family meeting."

An envelope is placed on the table.The seal was torn, but the crest of "Fukuro" was pressed.That crest belongs to the Duke of Paulford.

"As you may have guessed, there was a precursor from Paulford Saddam (...).They're coming to visit us tomorrow. "

"Well, what can I do for you?Is it okay if the tea dries up? "

Anyway, your father went all the way to say "prime minister" to your uncle's real sister, which includes thorns.

"May I go out even though His Majesty's appointment has not yet arrived?Although I am discreet on my own..... "

Oniisama, it's spicy to my uncle.

"So how do you cook against the Prime Minister... Kohon!I want to discuss how to deal with it. "

Dad, you just said, "How do I cook?"

"What do you want with Rio as a party?"

Ah! Leon is back.Someday she stares at me.

I remember being angry with my uncle, but when I saw that my family was angrier than me, I was cool.

When I exhale, I cut out the story.

"Let's start by asking my uncle about the situation.How did you get engaged?Could it have been threatened by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? "

When I ask, my parents shake their necks sideways.They say it's impossible.

"I don't think so. That brother was never threatened, even if he did.Even if they're royalty. "

My mother assures me that my father nods well.I'll be damned.

"Rio, you can be even angrier.I decided to get engaged without my consent. "

Oniisama teaches while stroking my head.

"Well... all of a sudden, when I heard the engagement announcement, my head turned white.I was also desperate that the efforts made to avoid engagement with His Royal Highness the Prince had been wasted.But there's nothing I can do about what happened. "

"Even though His Majesty the King promised to issue a clattering decree, this event may be followed by bad rumours about Rio in the future."

His Majesty the King promised to give me a clasp on what happened tonight at the royal ball, that is, the withdrawal of blank papers from the engagement announcement, but I can't stand the door in people's mouths.

Especially nobles love scandals.

In the future, it is expected that it will be discussed in magic academies and social gatherings.

"In the meantime, if your uncle wants to apologize, let's accept it.If it's for any other purpose.... "

For example, if you were asked to consider an engagement with His Royal Highness Prince Wang, then...

"I hope you get home soon."

◇ ◇ ◇

The next day, my uncle visited my house on time.

The expression of my uncle who went to the reception room was dark.

As my mother warned me yesterday, tea is offered in front of my uncle.

Normally, guests are served tea made from the finest tea leaves, but the tea served to our uncle is a drain of tea prepared for our family.

Last night was late for a family meeting, so I was quietly angry when I told Marie what happened at the royal ball in the morning.

But I desperately stopped with Leon because I was about to assassinate His Royal Highness Prince Bacchus.

As instructed by my mother, "I will deal with salt today," I was happy to prepare tea.

Heavy air is filling the reception room.

Nobody opens their mouth.

His father finally opened his mouth when he exhaled.

"So, Prime Minister Paulford. What brings you home today?"

"Alec, stop calling me that!"

Until then, my uncle, who was lying uncomfortable, raised his face.However, he turned his face to the side as if he were calm.It's a sad look.

"But I see. I'm sorry for what I did to you, starting with Rio.I have to apologize. "

The uncle stood up, knelt down and bowed his head in appreciation of the gentleman.

"I'm really sorry. I'm sorry."

There was a moment of silence.

"Brother-in-law, please raise your face.First of all, I want to ask you why you did this. "

The uncle raised his face and sat back on the sofa.

"That's... considering Rio's happiness..."

"Is Rio happy?"

His father shook his shoulders and punched him at the table.The cup on the table shakes and the tea runs out.

"If you really wanted Rio to be happy, why didn't you talk to me first!"

"However, Rio seemed to be close to His Royal Highness the Prince.You were happy to say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cares about Rio. "

"That was when Rio was young.Things are different now! "

Also, his father raised his fist toward the table, so his mother stopped aggressively.

"Milord, please calm down. It hurts my hand."

Mother wraps her father's hand.

"Ellie... I'm sorry."

When the mother nodded, she turned to her uncle.

"Oniisama, Milord is right.We are the parents of Rio.It is hard for parents to let others decide their daughter's future.Oniisama is also the parent of a child, don't you understand? "

"Ellie, but what's the difference?Doesn't Rio like His Royal Highness the Prince? "

It's not strange to see that from an uncle who doesn't know the circumstances.From the side, our brothers and sisters and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have looked friendly.That's how I behaved.

When I take a big breath, I barely spin words.

"Uncle, to be clear, I don't like His Royal Highness the Prince.Ever since I was a kid... That's not going to change. "

"Why, Rio, did you not realize the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"... I noticed. But I can't respond to the feelings of His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Why do you refuse His Royal Highness the King?Is there a reason? "

"That's...."

What should I do? My uncle doesn't know that I've gone back in time.How do I explain it?

"Shouldn't we just talk about it?As it stands, he may not be convinced, and he will not be punished, and he may continue his engagement with the prince's boy. "

Leon spoke in front of my uncle!
