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

I've been thinking about it all by myself while His Highness has been busy these past few days.

Leechee squeezes the hem of the dress and tells Arnold.

"After all, I realized that I was the one who was talking about one-sided self-consciousness."

-No.

An unexpected denial came back and I blinked.

"In the first place, I didn't have enough words."

"... Your Highness?"

"The means I've taken from you are abominable."

Arnold stretched out his hand to me and hung his side hair on Leeche's cheeks.

And he speaks slowly.

"From another country, bring in the queen and take her hostage."...... that was the means that Father Emperor had taken so far. "

He told me about it before.Arnold's father suppressed other countries by offering a bride from a variety of countries and holding her hostage.

"You must have disliked the way it was done.But in the end, I'm using the same method to make you my wife. "

Arnold's expression didn't convey any clear emotions.

However, it seems that various thoughts are coming and going.

"--You made me marry you and robbed you of your future."

Leechee unexpectedly took a breath.

"There's nothing more I want from you."... I don't deserve that. "

Arnold's eyebrows narrowed slightly.

Somewhere it seemed to be suffering, it looked like it was suppressing that suffering.

"That's why it's okay."

"...... ah"

I feel like my heart is nearby, making a crackling sound.

I'm sure Arnold wasn't allowed to want anything from himself.

I don't think he wanted or was given anything.Even if it were the Crown Prince of a great power, Arnold might have only counted what he had acquired so far.

Even if it wasn't clearly spoken to, Leechee knew it.

"... that's what I think most of all is what His Highness said."

With that in mind, Arnold looked around like a fool.

"I don't want anything from you.... I realized that I had a problem with the reason why you thought that way in the first place. "

"...... Leeche?"

“I was thinking about when Lord Arnold asked me to marry him.”

That night, Arnold knelt before Leechee.

Let's apologize for the sudden disrespect.And what do you wish for? "

He took Leechee's hand and looked up at her, and he said:

"Please, I want you to be my wife."

"At that time, I replied, 'I refuse.'"

"..... ahh"

Leechee leaned down, took a deep breath, and then looked up at Arnold's eyes again.

"I'd like to try that proposal again."

……

Before he could say anything, he reached for Arnold's left hand.

It's a big, very beautiful hand.Not only the shape of the fingernails and the muscles that float to the back of the hand, but also the sword octopus that receives the impression of martial bone is beautiful.

"Leeche"

While spinning his words hard, he tangles his fingers to Arnold's.

"I apologize for being rude to you."And what do you wish for? "

He drew his left hand toward Leeche's own mouth.

When Arnold gave me the ring, I imitated what you did when you wore it.With courage, he dropped his mouth from Leechee's side at the base of Arnold's finger.

"...... ah"

Chuu, there was a small noise.

That is extremely embarrassing. Even though I just kissed the back of my hand, my heart was throbbing and I was about to break.

I felt my face burning all at once.To hide the redness, he pressed Arnold's hand against his cheek.

Then I looked straight at Arnold.

"Please, be my husband..."

――…………

I chose the same words as Arnold back then.

Has he noticed that?Arnold's eyes turned to Richet's proposal.

"...... what......"

"Ah, this is it!"

She told Arnold with a bright red face as her voice almost trembled.

“Now you're not the only one who wanted to get married.And it shouldn't mean that you've forcibly brought me to Galkhain...! "

At that time, Leechee refused to ask Arnold to marry her.

As a result of thinking about going around on one's own, it seemed that Arnold was responsible for Leeche's rejection at that time.

However, Arnold didn't say anything while looking down at us.

"I... can't...?"

……

"I will listen to what your Highness wants as long as I can make it happen."It might be a lot less and awkward than what you can do for me. "

Leechee clenched her eyebrows and repeated her words.

"Me too. I want to fulfill many of His Highness Arnold's wishes..."

However, I think it will probably remain the same.

What Arnold is determined to do is not known to the current Leechee.I don't know why I asked Leechee to marry me, or why he's about to end up in a future war.

(But, please)

It was the moment Leechee wished for.

……

Arnold drew his fingers to his hands.

It was gentle, but also imposing.Arnold stops holding Leechee and turns his arm to his back.

Gyuuu tightly hugged her and whispered smallly beside her ear.

"I accept that proposal."

"......!"

A low, but clear voice.

"... will you marry me?"

"Ugh..."

The gentle voice in your ears twitched, and you sat down unexpectedly.

Not knowing where to put her hands, Richet grabbed the shirt near Arnold's waist, a bit lost.

"You've been here a long time already..."

"I don't know yet.... I haven't become a formal wife yet"

It was embarrassing to hear the pale way of saying it, but it sounded a little stingy.

But that was the only thing I could do.

Neither Leeche's homeland nor this country, a woman can enter into marriage until she turns sixteen.Leechee's sixteenth birthday is about three weeks away.

Instead of not listening to her wishes right away, Leechee swears in her own words.

“I'll be your wife....... Your Highness Arnold"

……

When I said that, I was hugged even harder.

However, it is never bitter, and it is an illusion of being added to and subtracted from it.This is how Arnold gets stacked up.

"- Say it again."

……

When he was told, he realized that it was his fault.

"Leeche"

"... ahhh"

Leechee rushes to ask him for a name.

"Can't we just do it one more time...?"

……

"As long as His Highness doesn't like it."I want to tell you many times in the future... "

If he thinks it's his first time, he'll want to respond to it.

But when I thought it over calmly, I realized it was a strange request.It is obviously unreasonable to repeat the words of the proposal over and over again.

"Oh, I'm sorry. That's weird."

"... no."

Arnold smiled faintly.

"I want to hear it."

~ ~ ~ ~

At that moment, my face became even hotter.

This is what I told you in this sea a few days ago.I press my forehead against Arnold so he doesn't notice my face is red, but it might be annoying to stick to this.

"I-I 'm sorry... just a little bit more in this position"

I don't mind.

Arnold said this after stroking his back to say goodbye to Leechee.

”... you should put some more meat on it, right?”

"Eh...!!"

Unexpectedly, Leechee jumped her shoulders.I almost looked up at Arnold's face, but I couldn't move.

"Hi, are you poor!?"

No, no, no, no.

I am relieved for the time being because I don't seem to say that I don't look good as a crown princess.

Arnold tried to keep his head on Leechee's shoulder and said in a small voice to him.

If you touch it badly, you say it's going to break.

……

After I was surprised to be told such a thing, something went wrong.

It won't break, so it's okay.

But Arnold didn't say anything.Realizing that words could not be conveyed, Leechee gulped Arnold back from there.

Right?

……

Arnold stroked Leechee's back convincingly and gently released herself.

“Take care of it”

"... yes"

I was struck by such a word.

Apparently, it doesn't seem to tell us that Leechee is quite sturdy.

(... although the couple didn't fight very well)

Still, I wonder if you made up quite well.

Thinking so, Leechee looked up at Arnold and laughed.Even at sunset on the beach, Arnold's blue eyes are the most beautiful in the world.

"The wind is getting stronger.... or I'll go back."

Arnold said, reaching out to Leechee.

I get nervous when I'm shown an escort as a matter of course.I touched Arnold's hand so he wouldn't notice this upset.

And the two of them start walking.

(I'm sure I can't understand what this person has in mind.No matter how much I wish for it, it won't change so easily....)

I understood that very well.But then I prayed.

"Still, one day, may His Highness Arnold speak of a desire for happiness."

No matter what the purpose of this marriage is.

(It doesn't matter if it's not me)

Leechee will definitely stop Arnold's war.

At that time, Leechee would be Arnold's enemy.I knew that staying beside him while hiding its purpose was nothing but a betrayal to him.

(Still...... I really want to make this person happy......)

War is not a means of wounding a variety of people, including him.

I wanted Arnold to see a world where he wanted something from his heart and could get it.

Leechee, what's the matter?

"... no"

Arnold smiles when he notices that his pace has been delayed.

"Let's go home and have dinner."... you can't eat as much as you want to change your shape in order to wear a marriage dress. "

"Rest assured, if anything happens, I will gather craftsmen from all over the country and have them tailor it."

"When Lord Arnold says it with his own face, I'm afraid it doesn't sound like a joke..."

While talking like that, the back of my chest became slightly tickled.

Walk the sunset sandy beach and sometimes look back at the ocean.

Glittering light shone on the surface of the water, narrowing her eyes to the glare, and Leechee squeezed Arnold's hand tightly.



Quiet waves echo through the seaside castle, which is completely dyed at night.

Walking without any footsteps, Raul opened the door of the room and looked around the deserted reception room.

Without anyone's permission, sit on one leg of the bench.Within a few minutes, a stiff shoe sounded.

The door is opened.

Raul raised the edge of his mouth and dared to pat him lightly.

”... you don't want to sneak in when people come quietly?”

……

He looked back at Raul with cold eyes as he leaned back on his chair and hung his elbow.

Without saying anything, she sat down opposite Raul and put her cheek stick on her armrest.

Looking at the situation, Raul asked for more.

"That's unpleasant." It's going to be a cooperative relationship from now on, so don't you think it's okay to be a little more friendly? "

"I don't want to hear your mouth."

"Well, I owe you guys a debt, I'll take your orders."... even if it's a dark story behind something you can't even tell your doting wife. "

Say that and stir up the man in front of you.

"Shall we start talking confidentially as planned?"...... Her Royal Highness Arnold Hein "

――……

The chilly-looking man turned his cooler eyes toward Raul.
