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

The small abandoned church seemed to be forgotten from people's memories by the construction of a large church in the middle of the city.

The statue of the goddess was removed, and the auditorium's auditorium was filled with dust.

And Raul sat on his back, and laid his staff on his lap.

The Fabranian knights turn their backs on Raul and prepare for each other.Raul leaned in in a relaxed tone as he watched the sight.

"Hey, isn't it a little late to get together?"

Just as they were aiming, the Lady Knights stared at Raul.

"Shut up. Unlike you, we must obey His Majesty's orders."

"It's tingling." Well, that's right. "

Raul laughed and glanced back.

"...... If I don't kill Harriet well, will it be inconvenient for Galkhain to blame me?"

Harriet, tied to the back of her hand, was sitting on the rostrum without strength.

The knights looked unpleasantly at Raul.

"It's too much to say." Don't forget what you've done in addition to being a part of the plan, because you can't help but bow your head. ”

"That's a good word." You didn't realize I was a Curtis fake, did you?It would have been nice if I had been on Fabrania's side, but if I had been in a position to help Harriet from Sigwell's country..... "

"I told you to shut up."

It seems to me that they were disfigured, too.Raul laughed and looked around the abandoned church.

Whatever it is, just bring all the knights of Fabrania here.

There are twenty Fabranian knights here in all.

I wonder if there are only ten people left.Raul jokes as he spins his head.

"After all, I've sold my quarrels to the Crown Prince of Galkhain."I need your protection until I get to Fabrania. "

"... hmm. A cowardly, hunter-like mood."

"That's a terrible way to put it. Harriet, the kidnappers."

Of course, though, I'm not going to tell Raul any details.Raul leaned off the back of the chair, taking a gentle gaze.

And as I approached Harriet with a light footstep, I crouched down in front of her.

"Harriet, are you crying?"

"... Raul, why are you doing this..."

Raul was surprised when Harriet raised her face while trembling.

Although she is frightened, it seems that she was not crying in tears.

(I was surprised. I was definitely fading and confused about this guy, and I was determined to keep crying...)

Thinking so, Harriet turned her cold expression to Harriet.

"'Why' is our line, Harriet.Why did you act like you betrayed Fabrania? "

"...... ah"

"I gave that girl the gold I had received from Lord Walter."... it looks like that girl saw that it was a penny and she was hoping that she might be able to help me. "

In fact, that girl named Leechee discovered that fact.

I was surprised to see Raul.

"She's a bad girl for her princess habits, Harriet.If you do that, Fabrania won't be able to protect you, and you know Sigwell's country will be in trouble. "

"Uu, uuu....."

"At best, Sigwell's country is only good at bullish technology."We have to help each other with our allies, and Fabrania, the representative of our alliance, will do the trick.... we [hunters] are a group of mercenaries hired for money and not knights who have pledged allegiance to you. "

The Fabranian knights turn their contemptuous gaze to Harriet as if they were passing through Raul's words.

Even one knight looked down on Harriet, who was supposed to be royalty.

Just looking at the knights shows how much the royal family of Fabrania looks down on the Sigwell nation.

Harriet, who would have gone to the country to train as a bride and been wronged, was thin before she could see him for a while.

Raul gazed at the faded Harriet and continued in a terribly boring mood.

"I know you're weak, but how easy was it to trick Galkhain?"I should have put up with my guilt and shopped properly.I'm sure that's all you've got to admit as the queen of Fabrania. "

"...... ah"

There is a sign that Harriet is holding her breath.

And she shook her head sideways.

I... don't use it anymore...

……

She starts talking slowly, awkwardly, as if she were ready for something.

"I knew that if I used fake gold coins, I would get what I wanted."I'm sure you'll admire His Majesty Walter for his work."You think it's worth using... but you can't."

The trembling voice spun frightened.

"I can't go shopping."... if one fake gold coin goes to the market, it's over. "

"... heh?"

"That's all... I can't believe all the gold circulating in that country."Even if only one coin is discredited, the economy will be ruined..... "

Raul squeezed his mouth and looked down at Harriet's little claw.

"Ri... I didn't give you that coin because I wanted you to help me."I mean, I don't deserve your help...! "

And Harriet spun awkwardly, as if she was ready.

Leechee-sama told me that I was your friend.

……

That girl was certainly going to say something.

Even though she seems to have eyes to look at, she doesn't seem to know that she doubts people. It's a girl with a contradictory nature.

It's only been a few days since we met, but if we're observing, we'll know.

"I absolutely have to tell Galkhain about Fabrania.... it's not just Galkhain's gold that I'm trying to make.And a lot more. "

(...... I know)

Raul is roughly aware of what that country is aiming for.

"If only you were still silent, Fabrania would be rich with gold and the Sigwell nation would be blessed."

"There are many books that say it's impossible...!"The richness that you have acquired by disturbing other countries disappears instantly... the people are the first to bear the suffering. "

The trembling voice still says clearly.

"In order not to bother Galkhain, and in order to protect the innocent people.I can't obey Fabrania..... "

Fabranian knights despise Harriet.

Harriet's shoulder jumped.But her olive-colored eyes looked up at Raul.

"I was born a princess, so I know I can't live as I want."

A courageous voice said clearly.

"I decided not to suffer an innocent people, even if they were killed...!"

Harriet, who must have been terrified, made that decision at some point.

I thought about it, but the existence that inspired it was obvious.

The presence of a girl who gave Harriet confidence, brought back pride, and steered her forward appeared in her mind.

"... a stupid princess without thought"

Raul sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Harriet here doesn't know what's going on at the castle on the hill.

The girl named Leechee immediately discovered something about the ransom money and said she wanted to save Harriet.

And Raul made her take some numbing pills.

While mocking herself, she asked Harriet meanly.

As a result, what's the situation like now?

"...... ah"

“The knights of Fabrania have found out, and the plan has been changed to your murder.--If that's done, Galkhain, who let you die, will be shot from Fabrania and various other countries. "

Of course, some countries will try to determine the situation properly.

However, this event will undoubtedly be a stain on Galkhain.

After the royalty of another country is murdered in the country, there is no way that the crown prince and his wife can get married.

As a country whose marriage was postponed and whose guests could not be protected, the nations would exchange rumors.

While imagining the future, Raul vaguely remembered.

Always keep telling lies.

Raul was told this many times when he was young.

"In the meantime, throw away your own hopes and hopes."... look, Raul. "

The grey-haired old man was the forerunner of the hunter group.

My heart gets in the way.Truthful emotions slow down your legs.To be a perfect shadow, that's how you get used to lying. ”

Yeah, I know, Grandpa.

Understanding that, Raul nodded honestly.

After all, I lived by myself until the old man picked me up.

Raul's oldest memory was the night he was staring at his dead mother's dirty fingertips in the corner of the alley.

Since then, I have learned desperately to live by observing adults.

Whether you're begging for food or change, there's no point in begging a prospective opponent.

So Raul stood still and looked at the people who walked.

Can they afford it?

How are you feeling now?

What kind of behavior do you like and what can you do to save Raul?

While examining it every day, I tried and tested various behaviors.

Then you'll know a lot.

What the adult wants or wants.I'm vulnerable to any kind of flattery, so what can I do to refuse?

(You don't have to be happy to laugh. Even if you're not sad, you're crying in tears.)

Raul, a young boy, kept telling himself.

(... if you're lying like that, you'll still be eating bread tomorrow...)

I'm sure that way of life was right for you.

At one point, the previous leader, having spotted Raul's lies, said that he would take them in and raise them himself.

Instead, I learned my skills as a hunter and was ordered to succeed.

"Thank you. I'm glad you like me."I'll do my best. "

Raul said that and smiled at his predecessor.

But the truth is, I wasn't at all happy.

(From now on, if you lie, laugh and follow your grandfather, you can eat every day.... oh, I'm so glad...)

Raul still remembers his relief.

If you lie, lie to yourself, and act like you're liked, you won't go hungry.

That was all that mattered, so even after I went to my predecessor's head, I did my training as I was told.

I pretend to be happy if I get praised, and pretend to reflect if I get scolded.

Thanks to the desperate observation of adults, the "substitute" who acted like an escort object gradually improved.

(But)

As my back grows taller, I sometimes wonder.

(... what makes you think I'm happy...?)

And it came to pass, when he knew not, that Raul was to escort the princess in a certain country.

In a short period of time, it will only be a year.

Raul was about eleven years old at that time, and I think that the princess was just sixteen years old.

Raul. How happy does Raul feel?

Raul was annoyed at the princess who laughed reluctantly and questioned him like that.

(Happiness is not necessary for a hunter who is a [shadow])

”And what kind of things do you like?I want the cook to make what Raul wants to eat. "

(I don't want anything I like.... if you realize something like that, you'll realize even something you don't like.)

"Hey, Raul? I'm going to marry someone else in a political marriage soon."It's just a short period of time to spend with you in this country. "

The princess with her blonde hair twitched her ears and smiled lonely.

I hope I can see your real smile by then.

{...... sweet princess. Why would you want me to do that? ”

She stroked Raul's head as she asked with a sneering smile.

That's right. I want to be a little happy to be married to you.

……

I want to believe that my political marriage has made children like Raul of this country happy.

I think there was just a little bit of smile on her face.

If you believe that, I'm sure I can feel happy even at my dowry destination.

At that time, Raul had no idea why the princess would say such a thing.

It was the first time the princess had ever been unaware of her identity even when she was observing.

At first, I hated it and had no choice.However, I eventually began to think, "I want to know."

I felt it for a long time, "My own emotions".

It wasn't to be liked by anyone, or to pretend to be someone, it was that pure feeling.

So I made a desperate observation.While training as a hunter more than ever to stay with her and not be removed from her bodyguard.

She didn't want to see Raul smile at all.

(Whether I laugh or not has nothing to do with her happiness, right?)

But I also understood that my wish to make my master happy was a big one.

(The man who makes him happy is the man who becomes his husband.... that's why I have to risk my life to protect her until the day she goes to marry me.)

And a year later she went in marriage.

I heard that the dowry was a great country, and it was the emperor of the other country who wanted to marry the princess.

If you become the bride you want, you will be happy.

Whether it's a political marriage or not, I'm sure she can laugh as she wants.

That's how I believed it.

However, Raul soon realized that the idea was unpleasant.

It seems that she has lost her life on her own.

It was only a year later that I heard the obituary from the head.

I let one of the hunters find out.The other country told me it was a disease, but it was a lie. ”

Why do you do this to yourself? Perhaps after you were born in stillbirth...?

"No, there is also information that she lost weight badly and seemed to be weak before giving birth.I had some hard feelings about my dowry..... '

The huntsmen, including the head, secretly whisper to each other.

Raul's deaf ears picked up everything.

The only reason this country didn't get invaded was because they got married politically and carried all the misfortune.

……

Apparently, the princess married because she was chosen as a hostage.

It was not such a happy conversation that I became the bride I wanted.

That's probably why she collected her modest wishes as a hope to behave modestly in her bride.

That's embarrassing.... I'm sure it was harder for her than death.

The customer's neck turned pimples in her mouth.

What country is Galkhain, the dowry country?
