The Villain Daughter Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride (Hostage) in a Former Enemy Country

After finishing his training as a cadet, Riesch hurried back to the palace and took a bath before dressing.

The two Knights of the Guard are heading for the guest room in the main castle.

When the knight knocks, there is a reply from the inside. Reese thanked the knight Camille for opening the door and called out to the other knight.

"I'm sorry. Can Mr. Volker be guarded in the hallway and only Mr. Camille be present in the guest room? It might be rude to have so many Guard Knights to meet customers....."

"I understand, Mr. Riesch."

The knight nodded and stood aside by the door. Riesch looks back and smiles at the knight, Camille, saying, "Thank you."

And then I went in with him alone.

Excuse me, Your Highness.

"Lord Riesch."

Kyle stood up and lowered his head to Riesch at a perfect angle. Even with one of these, his seriousness suddenly appeared.

Yesterday Kyle had an all-day discussion with scholars in the Imperial City, and dinner seemed to have taken place with them, and I haven't seen his face since the night before yesterday.

I was worried about my condition, but I could tell by watching Kyle raise his face.

"I'm relieved that the medicine you gave me is working."

"Hello, do you know how I feel at first glance?

"We need to examine the exact situation in detail, but not about the salient symptoms. Coughing in the morning and evening calmed down a little and made it easier for me to get some sleep."

"--You still have the eyes of a goddess."

(Uhh...)

Regardless of the courtesy, Rieschett felt like she couldn't say anything.

I know that it is Coyol's custom to pay tribute to women, and it is a social resignation.

Nevertheless, it is uncomfortable to be scolded in my past life for saying this to someone who has told me to "clean up the books in the room" "go to bed early at night even if I am busy with research."

Slowly smiling and deceiving, Rieschetto sat on the sofa. Kyle also lowered her hips, so she put the vial she had brought on the table.

"Kyle will be taking this pill with him from today."

"I understand. Is this different from the previous liquid?

"The medicine absorbs quickly and has quick effects, but it's weak and it lasts for a short time. However, to sleep well and not recover my health first, I can't take this medicine...."

"Strong medicine can poison your weak body," the teacher said.

Kyle's disease, which is susceptible to symptoms in the respiratory tract, is actually largely related to the weakness of the stomach, so I wanted to sleep well and restore my appetite.

"This pill is a crushed and mixed powder of some herbs, solidified with honey."

The vial is filled with sugar-covered milk tea pills.

"Does His Highness Kyle sometimes catch a shallow sigh? You may have lung fatigue, but heart palpitations should also be affected. In addition, it seems that the closed lips apply force and sometimes the color becomes white. It's caused by unconsciously biting your teeth."

"That's... I didn't mean to, but is that so?

"My mouth usually doesn't touch my upper and lower teeth, and it's normal to have a gap of a few millimeters. In the case of His Highness Kyle, are the upper and lower teeth touching each other even when you are trying to relax?

That said, Kyle was surprised to see her eyes round.

"When I was watching His Highness Kyle at the evening party, he occasionally pressed his forehead. You have a headache, right? But in the case of His Highness Kyle, the headache medicine doesn't work because of the tension in your body."

"... how much do you know about my behavior?

"I'm still studying. My mentor from the Renfa will diagnose more at a glance."

"The pharmacist named Huckley, who saw me in the past, had equally wonderful eyes. Many people call her the best pharmacist in the world, but there are no other people who have such knowledge....."

(... no. That Hakuray-sama is exactly my master....)

I couldn't get it out of my mouth, so I murmured in my heart. Riesch takes a fresh look and places a vial of pills in front of Kyle.

"Drink it 30 minutes before you eat. Slowly and for a long time, I think it will be easier during the day."

"Well... thank you very much."

"However, the taste is as bad as liquid medicine...."

………………

It really tastes bad.

Even medicinal herbs add sweetness to the taste, which creates extra discord.

But Kyle nodded with a mysterious look.

"If this body moves properly at all, that's not enough."

"Kyle."

At last, today's topic.

Leesher quietly opens her mouth when she puts her hands on her knees.

"I overheard you talking to Lord Arnold the other night at a party."

Kyle opened her eyes and then slowly fell down.

"... I've shown you something embarrassing."

The silver eyelashes are delicate as if they were made of ice and look well on his pale light blue eyes.

"Originally, I think it would be natural to return home with great courtesy when His Highness Arnold refuses. But I can't just give up here."

"... didn't you think it was dangerous? Although not at war right now, the situation can be overshadowed by the presence of the victorious country, Garchain. Of course, you heard about the first battle in which Lord Arnold jumped off the heads of all the royal enemies during the war, didn't you?

"That's...."

Kyle glanced at Camille, a guard knight standing away.

Reese tells me that she cares about Kyle.

"Don't worry. His Highness Arnold will not hear a conversation from that knight."

Guard Knight Camille is a knight from the Glades.

He is Arnold's Guardian Knight and is obliged to report to Arnold everything that would have happened to him.

But Camille was the only exception.

He was impressed by Riesch's plan for the Glades the other day and offered to help him.

Theodore's kidnapping of Riesch has brought Camille and Else, the maid, together.

Richie, who has a fiancée, can't talk to Kyle alone.

However, Arnold would have been informed if he had normally withheld the Knights of the Guard.

For that reason, I was waiting for Camille to arrive at the replacement escort, but I was lucky to come quickly.

When Riesch saw the knight Camille, he bowed and stood as far away from Riesch as possible.

Kyle waited for it and barely opened his mouth.

"I have read the materials about the state administration in which His Highness Arnold was involved. It is clear that the policy puts the people first, and there is no doubt that he is wise.... and I think that mercy might have even been directed at wartime enemies."

"... please tell me"

Kyle is still aware of it. Though convinced, Riesch dared to wait for the words.

"I don't know the battlefield, even though I'm a royal man who has to protect his people. --So I can imagine everything, but the battlefield should be much harder to move with more injured people than with more dead."

……

Kyle was right.

If a companion is dead, the remains will have to be abandoned and moved forward.

It's very sad, and it's going to tear your heart apart, but it's actually hard to lead to a reduction in combat power.

However, this was not the case for the injured person.

When an ally is injured on the battlefield, the Knight helps, rescues, and protects that ally.

As a result, your troops may be wiped out to protect your wounded allies.

"Arnold brutally killed enemy soldiers on the battlefield, probably because it was' effective '. If you know at a glance that you are desperate, fewer people will stand up to help you and lower your willingness to fight those who survive. Instead of capturing the royal family, I could take the view that in addition to putting an end to the war, I tried to reduce the sacrifices of the knights who risked their lives and tried to take them back...."

Kyle nodded at the thought of not knowing the battlefield.

(After all, Prince Kyle is amazing. You are approaching a group of merchants and scholars, and you are talking about battlefield theory… you have the right analytics and imagination for a situation you did not experience on your own)

If he hadn't been sick.

And if the world hadn't been at war so often, it would have been known as a famous man.

I agree with His Highness Kyle.

"... Lord Riesch"

(His Highness Arnold's brutal killing of his enemies in past wars has a purpose. With some intense sacrifices, it's no wonder you're doing the same thing to save the whole thing. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arnold is gentle.

And because of its tenderness, I don't hesitate to choose the means of war or murder.

That's why I think we have to stop.

Kyle thanked Riesch again.

"I'm sorry to say this to a woman.... Besides, even if Lord Arnold was truthful and brutal, the actions I should have taken would not change."

"I risk my life to protect Coyol."

"... that's what you must say."

She looked up at Kyle in surprise and smiled with a sad feeling.

I want to protect this country. If that's the case, I'm not going to choose the means. "

"... that would be the biggest responsibility I've ever been born dead."

He said so and joined the line of unwanted warfare.

"I used to think that something important should be protected at the risk of life. But I'm sure that won't work."

While recalling what I told Fritz earlier, Riesch continued.

"I mean, the life of the person I wanted to protect goes on forever."

At that moment, Kyle felt breathtaking.

"Life's plight is more than one visit. There is as much danger to happiness as there is to happiness before we can overcome our present difficulties."

Remember the royal people who served as knights as they spoke.

I risk my life to protect my princes. I'm not afraid to die for that. He stood on the battlefield with that feeling and fought with his sword.

Now Leicher knows that it was bad.

Emperor Arnold may have caught up with the escaping carriage.

Betrayed by our fleeing allies, we may end up losing our lives.

If only one of our knights were alive, we might have been able to protect ourselves from such difficulties.

"I learned that the Garchain knights are stronger because they fight with the spirit of 'surviving and protecting anything' rather than 'dying nobly here to protect'.... even if my limbs are gone, or I can't hold my sword, I can be taught to fight and live."

And it was the crown prince Arnold who invented the training method.

Please, Prince Kyle.

Riesch looked Kyle in the eye and called him that, not "His Highness Kyle."

This is what the people of Coyol call it, a nickname that is familiar to the royal family. It may be a sort of rudeness for Riesch in this world to call it this.

However, Riesch dared to talk.

"First of all, why don't you and Prince Kyle make a little alliance?"

"What is an alliance..."

"To persuade His Highness Arnold. The alliance between Coyol and Garchain needs your help."

Leesher told him and spread the paper she had hidden on her desk.

Last night, after we broke up on the balcony with Arnold, I hurried to write it down. Kyle, who had read through the plan, rang his throat.

"Miss Riesch. What the hell are you..."

"I can't go into detail. But Prince Kyle, with you, we can make this a reality."

"But I don't think this will convince His Highness Arnold. On the contrary, I don't think they're looking at me."

"No"

Leachet speaks clearly.

"I don't know if His Highness Arnold will nod.... but if this plan works, I'm sure you'll listen to me."

"Why do you say that?"

"Of course."

She stretched her chest and smiled.

"I am Lord Arnold's future wife."
