The night Arnold gave me the ring.

As he approached the hall of the club, Riesch, who was walking next to Arnold, murmured with remembrance.

"Why did His Highness Arnold propose to me then?

I asked him several times when I had just met him.

I was distracted at that time, but maybe it's time for you to tell me.Looking up like that, Arnold looks at us with his face.

I put it in my mouth with a flat expression.

"I told you.Because I was in love with you. "

(... that's why it's such a lie...!

When I think of the moment I met him, I don't see any elements that Arnold Hein might like.

And that Arnold Hein is not going to propose with the momentum of the moment.Rieschett gave out the words she had kept, even though she was still hesitant.

"... and then I said, 'I proposed with the intention of using you.'"

That's right.--Well, whatever the reason is. "

(For His Highness, perhaps!

It's a branch of life for Riesch.I don't say I want to know everything, so I just need a little more information.

Arnold smiled funny when he felt uncomfortable.At this rate, he doesn't intend to tell me how to propose.

Staring at the ring of a ring, Riesch makes a decision.

(It's time to move on to the next stage)



"That's why His Highness Theodore.I'd like you to tell me about your father's relationship with Lord Arnold. "

"... you're really stepping into a place where you can't help but think about it..."

Lieting on the lawn, Theodore looked stunned at Richie's questioning.

Whether the sunshine is dazzling or not, he rubs his eyes after he looks up at Richie.

Though you don't seem to like it, it is very gentle, just like your brother, because it wakes you up to discipline.

"It's important to me to talk to my fiancée and her father."

With a handkerchief next to Theodore, Riesch sat on top of it and knelt together.

"Speaking of His Highness Theodore, he knows His Highness Arnold best.I'm sure you know something, and it's up to you to rely on it. "

"Fufu, well, that's a lot.I don't want to lose to anyone in this world if I have knowledge of my brother. "

Theodore proudly clapped her hands.Then he immediately got up on his knees, and put his cheek cane on it, and pointed his mouth.

"I'm sorry to be expecting... but I don't feel like I can respond to that.No matter how much sister-in-law's favor, you'll be rewarded with new information about your brother!

"Say,"

"I've never talked to my father.I tried to find out as much about my brother's relationship with him as I could, but he and I don't talk in public. "

Theodore keeps scratching the lawn.

"Even when my father gives me an order, my brother calls me alone.Oliver and his men will not be allowed to be present. "

(... that means you're being paid thoroughly...?

"But I know a little about you, Mother."

Lieting down, Riesch looked up at her unexpected words.

"Surely Lord Arnold's mother is different from Lord Theodore's mother."

Well, that's not unusual.

And I hear that the woman who was Theodore's mother is already dead.

Emperor Garchain's current queen is a bloodless opponent to his brother.

"... do you remember?My brother said he killed his real mother. "

Theodore asked me with a lonely expression.

Rieschett nodded and answered the question she had not heard at that time.

"What the hell happened?

"Niisama's mother has always hated her brother.Keep your brother away from me, and when I see your face, I'll swear at you.One day, my brother stabbed my mother with a sword. "

Theodore continued in a quiet voice.

He said he pierced his left chest straight through with a sword.

……

Riesch remembers unexpectedly.

Died by Arnold's sword in his sixth life.

The tip of his sword stabbed Richie in the heart.

"Are you sure about that?

"It's hidden from the public, but if it's a big town in this country, we all know it."

Theodore continues to look like this with some bitter expression.

"My brother's mother was a princess of a certain country.My father ordered me to marry him like a hostage. "

"... Your Highness taught me before.His Majesty imposed "the inheritance of the blood of another kingdom" as a condition of His Majesty's wife, Arnold. "

In Leachet's case, it draws the blood of the royal family of the homeland.

Arnold said it was distant, but it was acknowledged.

(If we know about your mother, we may be able to see why His Highness Arnold proposed to me... and what he intends to do with this marriage.)

But this idea would be sweet.

(Now that we know it, we don't know if it will lead to a way out of the war in a few years.After all, the beginning of the war, the killing of the father... I feel like I need to investigate the coup against the current emperor.And about that.)

After various calculations, Theodore grew and stood up.

"Fuwaah, it's time to go back...."

"I'm sorry to bother you during your break."

"It's true, man!Well, I can't replace anything when I can talk to my brother.Ah, what time is it... "

"It's past three o'clock at lunch.Calculated from the position of the sun. "

……

Looking at Rieschetto, he looked slightly withdrawn.

"I want you to listen to the clock, look at the clock, do something like that, and then I want you to answer immediately."

"It's only an approximate calculation, so it's not as accurate as a clock.... speaking of which, Your Highness Theodore. "

Richie asks her future brother-in-law about what she has always been concerned about.

"There's a beautiful castle town over there with a pointed tower.What's that? "

I've asked Arnold before.

Theodore glanced at the tower and replied.

"Oh, it's a church.He said he was the second biggest and splendid man on the continent, and sometimes came to worship from other countries.Gather once a month to pray, or once a year to sing.Looks like a pretty important building. "

That's right.

Again, there seems to be something we need to check.

Liesche lays her eyes down quietly and makes a plan.



After thanking Theodore and breaking up with him, he returned to the apartments with the knights who were waiting for him in a remote place.

Then he visited Arnold's office and asked to be alone with him, and sat down on the bench opposite him.

Reese lay her hands on her lap and called out her name with sincerity.

"Lord Arnold."

"... what's wrong with your serious face?"

"This time, I have a favor to ask myself."

Encouraged to continue with her gaze, Rieschetto talks clearly.

"--I want to officially cancel my engagement."

…………

Arnold turned his quiet gaze towards us.

"Ah, but of course before...."

Arnold stood up just as Riesch was about to say.

When I thought about it, I sat down next to Richie.Being stared at from the brink, Riesch took a slight breath.

"... if that's what you want"

"Yes?"

Until the end, Arnold won't ask for more.

(Because it's about His Highness Arnold, he may have learnt my intentions before me this time.)

If you think so, your shaped hand stretches out.And I stroked Leesher's coral hair.

Hiya

The other day, Arnold occasionally strokes Richie's hair after telling her that she could touch it directly.

The way you touch your ears makes you tickle strangely and uncomfortable.From Arnold's point of view, he might be stroking some animal, but it's bad for his heart because of the accident.

My face is close to the end of the quote, and I feel like I'm being chased.

"Hmm, Your Highness?

To Riesch's knowledge, the man with the most beautiful face in the world whispered slightly lower than usual.

"In that case, I must do whatever it takes to get in your way."

"... eh"

I will not say anything about that declaration.

After thinking about why they said this, I realized that there was a gap.

"Oh, wait!!I didn't have enough words, I'll explain it to the end!!So just get away from me!

"I won't let go. You just said you wanted to break the engagement, didn't you?

"Yes, but it's not!!I don't intend to run away from His Highness Arnold's scheme, but the engagement I want to officially discard is...!!

--- With his former fiancé (His Highness Dietrich).

……

In addition, Arnold raised his eyebrows deeply and sighed heavily.
