Leechee bowed down in a panic as she felt embarrassed.

At that time, Dietrich across the street finally raised his voice as if he had noticed our situation.

"So what's your posture!?" Even though I'm not a couple yet, I'm going to hold my hips...!? "

Dietrich looked at Arnold with his ears bright red.

”Hah, hah, that's shameless!!”

“How's it going?

"Woah...!"

Dietrich jumps up on a couch at Arnold's short words.

It was too cold and murderous. Even Leechee, who was just listening next to me, was about to freeze her spine.

Even after silencing Dietrich, Arnold will not quench his murderous intentions.

With a heavy gaze and a shrinking Dietrich, Leeche apologizes to Arnold.

"Lord Arnold... I'm sorry..."

"There's nothing you can apologize for."

The only words that can be directed at Leechee are calm and gentle.

However, Arnold opened his mouth in a somewhat lazy atmosphere after watching Dietrich with cold eyes again.

"... so?"

"Gu......"

Dietrich stands up to questions with few words.

"I'm not talking to you right now, I'm talking to Leechee!"

"Because Leechee wants to talk, she allows you to be here." Understand that you are not in a position to speak directly with the Queen of this country. "

"Well... that's why Leechee isn't your queen yet." It's too early to treat it as your own! "

Arnold then turns his quiet contemptuous gaze toward Dietrich.

"It seems that you are making a fundamental mistake about [husband's] rights."

What are you talking about!?

"Leechee will be my wife, but not mine." She's the only one who owns the rights to her. ”

"Ugh...!"

"I will not restrict my actions as long as there is no danger to Leechee. It's against you that I won't allow you to act freely."

(... really, Lord Arnold always respects what I want to do. It's also thanks to you that we have a place to talk with Lord Dietrich....)

Arnold says in a low voice as he crawls through the earth.

"Answer Leeche's first question.... 'Why are you in this country?'"

(...... you're really in the mood...)

No matter how much the Crown Prince of the great power Galkhain, if this is the usual Arnold, he should be choosing a slightly different language.

At least when talking to the royalty of another country, they would not have suddenly spoken in an orderly tone unless it was an enemy state in wartime.

After all, the conversation with Dietrich was not a good mental health experience for Arnold.

"Your Highness Dietrich"

Leechee opens her mouth in order to get out of here quickly.

"Actually, I've been writing to Marie-sama lately."

"What!? You said you were communicating with Marie!?"

"It was written in that letter. Marie has dedicated herself to His Highness Dietrich's" education "since I left the Ermiti country."



Immediately after Leechee arrived in Gulkhein, Marie sent her all her apologies.

There were many pieces of paper on which Marie apologized for what she had done to Leechee and what she had decided to do to make amends.

Dietrich's future was also written in words.

"Marie-sama said that even if you don't become the princess of the king yourself, you will support His Highness Dietrich so that he can become a fine man."

"Ugh... ugh..."

"... but I was wondering." Even with the guidance of his beloved Marie, His Highness Dietrich could endure such [education]..... "

Leechee suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at Dietrich.

Your Highness Dietrich. ― ― You must have fled from the Land of Hermiti?

Chichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichichuchichichichichichichichichich

"Don't come near me, sit down."

”Hiiiii”

Arnold intimidated Dietrich, who stood up screaming. At that moment, Leechee's heart was about to explode as she hugged her hips even more.

"I'm not going to run away!"

(With that in mind, why did Lord Arnold somehow take the position of sheltering me...!?)

Dietrich sat back down and said, desperately searching for words. But Leeche's feelings weren't enough.

"Marie is so delicate that she's too sick of breaking her engagement...!!" "What we've done to Leechee is an unforgivable crime." In order to reward our generosity, we have to change. "

Hugged by Arnold, he calmly told Dietrich as he held his throbbing left chest.

"Oh... please don't mind me." But Marie-sama is so happy and heartbroken. ”

"You can say that because you don't know the current Marie!!" Look, since then, Marie has been smiling with a textbook in her left hand and a tough whip in her right hand, and she's been trying to whip her 'Let's do our best today, Dee-sama'!? "

(...... I'd like to see what kind of situation it is, but......)

Looking at it like this, I think Leechee was right.

Ladies and gentlemen, including His Majesty the King, Marie is cooperative.

"Ggh, ghhhh!!"

"In order to study, we will re-educate the courtesy of the Emperor." His Highness Dietrich couldn't stand all this and lost his place in his own country, which is why he came to Galkhain. "

………………

Shin, the room calmed down.

Arnold, next door, is silent, but he is looking at Dietrich, who is hungry, as if he could see anything dirty anymore.

Leechee sighed and opened her mouth.

Your Highness Dietrich. Neither Marie nor His Majesty the King have ever been mean to you.

"Ugh...!"

“I did too. I have made various advances because I think we have to support His Highness Dietrich.".... That's it.... "

"Who do you think I am!?"

Dietrich shouted, blocking Leeche's words.

"Therefore, it's not as if you've fallen asleep enough to be educated!" I've been told I can do it if I'm talented for a long time!! "

"But you didn't do it, did you?" Not once. "

"Grrrrr!?"

Dietrich held his left chest as if something had pierced his heart.

"The word 'you can do' is synonymous with 'you can't because you haven't done it'. Tools that cannot be produced because they have been destroyed are the same as those that do not exist."

"Uuu, uuuu...!"

“Your Highness Dietrich, it would have been a great blessing to be in an environment where you can do whatever you want.”

When I was a fiancé, I chose a few more words. But today, I want to go home as soon as possible for Arnold's mental hygiene.

That's why I decided to tell Dietrich.

"My maids were children who had to take care of their younger siblings, no matter how much they wanted to study. Have you ever imagined days when you couldn't even allow yourself to" work hard to learn something "?"

"Gu...!"

"Marie-sama must be too. I wanted to marry a wealthy partner to help my family, and I was desperately trying to get into college. What do you think of the fact that such a Marie-sama is being told by His Highness Dietrich that it doesn't matter if she becomes the princess of the king or not?"

"Oh, that's it!!"

Marie's name changed Dietrich's complexion.

But he said, clenching his hands and squeezing them.

"Oh, what do you know...!!" I've been trying to be normal for a few days after I was born!! "

“Babies born a few days ago can't think of that yet.”

"I don't care about details!!" That's right, you know how I feel!! "

Dietrich blushed and cried out to Leeche.

"I don't want to be born to a prince, but since I was born, I feel like I've been around you!!"

……

With unexpected words, Leechee blinked.

"Before me, Leechee, you always stood up!! My exams are higher than mine, I remember well, and I always get attention from adults...!!"

"Di...... Your Highness Dietrich?"

"Even though you're my tutor, you're the only one who talks to the teacher equally!" Take me to the stable and you'll get along with the horses first! I ran faster than I did, and I was completely defeated by the swordsmanship!! "

……

Leechee gets lost in words and shuts her mouth.

"If I tried, I would never be an enemy to you!" But there are many things that are good for me! If I hadn't been born to the prince, my prowess would have been appreciated... If I had been born to the prince, at least I would have had your abilities! I feel that way all the time, I feel that way, I feel that way..... "

Dietrich was hung up again in front of Leeche, who was surprised.

I'm... giggling



Without knowing how to speak, Dietrich can hear tears.

"I really wanted to be like you...!"

(Woah... I'm crying...!!)

Leechee was stunned.

Although I grew up close to Leeche for fifteen years, it was the first time for me to see Dietrich cry like this.

(I wonder if you've overstated everything.)

Leechee, unwittingly, looks up at her neighbor Arnold.

Recently, Leechee relies on Arnold when she's in trouble. He was spoiled, and he reflected on his tendency to be bad.

(Your Highness, it's hard to ask for help at a time like this.)

That's what I thought, but Arnold looked down at Leechee with a slippery look on his face.

"... All right, I'll take care of it."

Eh!

Looks like you've noticed that Leechee is in trouble.

(Perhaps Lord Arnold will comfort Lord Dietrich? Maybe so. Your Highness Arnold is a very gentle man.)

And Arnold opened his mouth to Dietrich.

"- whatever the reason and whatever the background."

(... nnh?)

No matter what I think, it's not an atmosphere where the words of consolation continue.

While Richet thought so, Arnold let it out.

“It doesn't explain your foolishness to break the engagement with Leechee and try to expel her from the country.”

”Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!”

(Ah, Your Highness Arnold!!)

At that moment, Dietrich collapsed in tears.
