"Except I don't blame you."

"Eh......"

"I fought back just now without worrying about it." That's the offset. "

Riesch blinks.

After that, I felt troubled and opened my mouth.

"... I knew it wasn't too sweet for me..."

I guess not now.

It is obvious that it is not obvious at all.

But that's not good.

"If you don't scold me once in a while, I'll grow more and more."

"Growth?"

"That's how Lord Arnold will be kind to me."

Keep your eyebrows close together, hide your mouth with both hands and tell your thighs.

"If I keep this up, I'll say more of myself..."

Nh, fu

Arnold laughed strangely, with an unusual and age-appropriate expression.

And when I look at Riesch, I say with a soft voice.

"I want to hear it."

"....."

The way I said it was so calm that I felt my ears burning for some reason.

"I can't imagine what you're doing."

"Well, that's interesting again...!"

With regret, Arnold slowly bowed his eyes as he rolled his face.

"... besides, there aren't so many things I can give you."



“If not, it's okay to spoil it a little.”

Tilt your neck to something different from what Rieschetto perceives.

"Your Highness has already heard a lot of requests..."

"That's because all your wishes are without love."

That's what made me wonder.

(According to my standards, I'm going to say something nonsense......)

I have prepared a detached house for my fiancée, who is a 'hostage', and have her make a field in one corner of the castle.

All maids were at their discretion, and they were free to do business with the Chamber of Commerce.I wonder if this alone is quite selfish.

Arnold says that such thoughts appeared on his face.

"I must give priority to something."

A glance was directed towards the sea.

If what you want goes against that priority, I can't ask you.

……

When she received Arnold's proposal, Rieschett said, "Will you listen to me for anything?"

At that time, Arnold said, "As long as I can make it happen,"In other words, it was clearly indicated at that time that it could not be met depending on the content.

"Sometimes you have to give priority to the state and public affairs from the standpoint."

"Of course, I understand that."

"Not only that."

The blue eyes looked straight at Riesch again.

"... even if you hate this marriage, you can't leave me alone."

……

The area around your heart feels tingling and pale.

"For the purpose that His Highness Arnold proposed to me?"

Arnold glanced slightly and still spoke clearly.

"Yes, it is."

……

Without being noticed, Riesch squeezed her left chest.

It is wrong to feel lonely here.

(I can't even say what I really want)

A white hat hides your expression as you lower your eyes slightly.

I relied on it and gently traced the soft sand with my fingers.

("I hope you don't kill your father.""I want you to give up the war you're going to start."... because I'm hiding my greatest hope.)

But it's not easy to show.

(I can't tell you… Your Majesty let me go because you don't know my purpose is to 'stop the war')

Everything Leescher is doing in this world is trying to sabotage Arnold.

I want to avoid his war and motivate it.

(I'm sure that war is a strong will for His Highness Arnold.Otherwise, there would never have been such a gentle war of aggression)

What Arnold said earlier about "priorities" is probably a war in the future.

(... so if you know that I'm blocking it)

Liesche becomes an enemy of Arnold.

(It is not easy to obstruct His Majesty's plan.In that case, if I have the only element that lies behind His Highness Arnold, only one thing is "I know the future")

That is why you must not be made aware of the future in order to preserve it.

(I have a secret too.I don't deserve to know what His Highness is hiding)

But my heart still hurts.

"...... Arnold, Your Highness..."

Richie has asked many times before why she is proposing.

That said, the question can't be said right now.Instead, he raised his gaze slightly and looked at Arnold from the shadow of his hat.

"What do you want me to do when I become your wife?"

……

Arnold looked surprised.

After that, laugh to see something interesting.

You've changed the direction of your questioning.

"I know you won't answer the usual questions."

I lied and stared at Arnold.

Arnold answers flatly.

"I know what I want you to do.-- "Was it a life where you gurgled, lazy, and didn't work?" "



I remembered the words.

I will definitely go crazy in the castle!Slow, lazy, doesn't work!

This is what Leechee told Arnold when he asked him to marry her.

"That's not what His Highness wants, it's what I want to do...!"

"Nevertheless, I don't think you can."

"Huh, what's impossible!?"I'm definitely going to win a glorious life! "

"There's no point in winning.It is not suitable in the first place. "

What do you mean it's not suitable?Arnold also asks if Rieschett feels unwilling.

“But why are you asking me that?”

"... it looked like Harriet-sama was working too hard on her bride training."I wonder what men think at this time. "

We're not lying either.

I'd love to hear Arnold's thoughts, too.

"What kind of country does Fabrania look like from His Highness's perspective?"

It's a country I've been to in my past life, but don't pretend to ask questions like that.

"The western continent is the most active country in the Garchain."

"... it looks like you have a troublesome face."

“Diplomacy with the western continent is not very advantageous at the moment.You won't be able to use it later, but there are many other priorities. "

"I mean, it stinks..."

Speaking of which, Harriet's maid said.

On this occasion, it is King Fabranian's wish to establish friendship between Garchain and Fabranian.

"Nevertheless, the western continent is full of small countries.If we were to make a strong relationship among them, it would be Favrania, who leads the alliance in that area. "

In other words, other countries, such as Sigwell, are less present than Favrania for Arnold.

"... even in a small country from the point of view of the Garchain, the Fabrania for the western countries will surely be irresistible."

Well, I guess so.

Riesch has one question.

(I don't know why His Highness Arnold proposed to me, the Duchess daughter of a weak country.---and just like that)

I remember the future in the life of a hunter.

(Sigwell's political marriage to Fabrania does not allow Fabrania to see what profits it generates.)

That's why it's so rough, and I look down on you.

(Harriet accepts political marriage as a duty, but of course it is.I also thought it was a role I had to play until His Highness Dietrich's engagement was abandoned.)

But after choosing to live as a merchant, I enjoyed living my life and became obsessed with the days before me.

I've never thought about marrying anyone in my life.

(But not in this world.)

When I raised my face, my gaze overlapped that of Arnold, who was looking down at me.

――……

This man will be Leeche's husband.

The moment I think about it, the words I've been told before come back to life.

"You don't have to be ready to be my wife."

"....."

Her left chest twitched again, exhaling a small breath and deceiving her.

"Your Highness, Arnold... soon, but I have something to ask you again."

"What? Say it."

"Let me check some records at the bureau de change."

Saying so, Arnold looks at it with surprising eyes.

Riesch pulled out the basket and took out the cylinder of rounded documents.

"Whatever you say in lieu, I will report to His Highness as well."

"This is...."
