Along with the smell of light, I bit Arnold's words.

But Dietrich, who was listening, bowed down and roared.

"Ugh, ugh...!"

(Hah...!! That's right, your Highness Dietrich...!)

It is not the case that it is fluffy. Leechee needs to get Arnold away from Dietrich as soon as possible.

"Did I... make a mistake...?"

(What's the right thing to do here?)

I switched and thought about it somehow.

(If it had been your life so far, Lord Dietrich would have failed in his quest for a coup d 'état against your father in less than a year.)

When I heard the rumor in my past life, I was shocked.

Although it is called a coup d 'état, its endings are shoddy. Dietrich was instigated by his lords to act treacherously against his father's king, but was quickly exposed.

We were unable to gather weapons or divulge state secrets. If I hadn't given my father a single wound, the knights wouldn't even have moved.

Too soon to be noticed, I hear Dietrich didn't have time to take any action.

In other words, Dietrich's crime was only one of [planning to betray the king].

But it is also a great sin that will never be forgiven.

Dietrich was stripped of his prince's authority and put under house arrest. And the seat of the Prince, King Hermiti, passes to Dietrich's younger brother, who was separated from him in 1885.

With that in mind, Leechee glanced up at Arnold.

(Really, it's the opposite of Lord Arnold.....)



Arnold, who had taken the throne from his father in all his past life, took Leechee's gaze in wonder.

("I can't interfere with His Highness Dietrich," something that I know has stained my body in the fifteen years that I was my fiancé. Even if I didn't stop it, that coup d 'état would have cost Dietrich his right to inherit the throne.....)

Leechee thinks ill of it.

(However, I feel that the rhetoric of His Highness Dietrich had been passed through before has arrived more than usual today. As a result of Marie-sama's education...? "I wonder if I owe it to the might of Lord Arnold." Maybe I can help Dietrich with something right now.)

It was then that Dietrich raised his face.

"No... I'm not wrong!" Open your chest, Dietrich! "

"... Your Highness?"

"Let's talk about it now!" Why did I come to Galkhain before your sixteenth birthday...!! "

Leechee was silent when she was told that there was no tears and no sudden beats.

"Is it my birthday?"

Indeed, Leechee celebrates her birthday nine days later, on the thirtieth day of the seventh month.

But what's the matter with that?

"Like Japan, Galkhain can't get married until he turns 16, right?" In other words, Leechee, when you're fifteen years old, you're not officially married to Galkhain! "

……

I got more and more confused by the powerful remarks.

"You know what? I'm telling you I'm gonna help you now that you're not qualified for marriage."

"Help me? Help me? From what?"

Of course!

Piercing, the tip of the index finger is pointed at.

"Even if it's unwillingness on your part, it's definitely decided from your engagement!!"

――――……

Leechee unexpectedly shrugged.

"Mostly, my father is my father too!" Suppose I were to present my childhood friend, Leechee, to a man rumored to be "ruthless and cruel". Whatever it takes, it's pathetic!! "

……

Dietrich said with a smile that seemed to restore his confidence, even as he grunted and cried.

"However, I won't give in to the opponent of a great power." You're still trying to help Leeche in time! ”

……

"Then I arrived at the Imperial City, and I saw the name of Sylvia and entered the theater, but I was able to make a chance reunion!" Yeah, the more you think about it, the more the goddess is on my side! "

…………

"Happy, Leechee. I'll open your birthday celebration when you get back to our country."

Dietrich then looked at Arnold with clear tears.

"Lord Arnold Hein! I'm not afraid of you!"... no, I'm actually a little scared... but this is a challenge to overcome!! I am the king of the future, full of qualities! "

Arnold, who was supposed to have been rudely directed, had a heartfelt expression that didn't seem to matter.

For Arnold, it must no longer be worth the effort. Arnold has taken care of us without giving Dietrich any response.

Leechee, you're ready to go.

…………

"Then let's go home. I'll order the knight to turn this man over somewhere."

"Oh...!! Are you going to drive me back!?"

After taking a deep breath, Leechee leaned down and opened her mouth.

"Your Highness Dietrich"



Dietrich tightens his shoulders when he calls his name puffy.

"... I didn't mean to say anything about it, whether you ordered me to break my engagement or to leave the country."

"Ri... leeche...?"

“But”

Leechee looked straight at Dietrich.

"--You can never ignore what you say about Lord Arnold."

"Hee...!?"

For the past fifteen years, Leechee has scolded Dietrich many times.

But it may be the first time I've put such strong emotions on him.

The Dietrich in front of me was surprised and couldn't say anything.

"Your Highness Arnold is the gentlest man in the world to me. They allow me to go to the city, lend me a horse for riding, and sometimes give me training in swordsmanship. None of this was acceptable to me, who was your fiancée.”

"What, what...!?"

Arnold wasn't angry that Leechee had gone out with impunity.

He entrusted me with the maintenance of the palace, growing medicinal herbs in the fields, hiring maids, and education. If Leechee asks for a swordsmanship skill, she can make time even when she's busy.

He admits that Leechee chose.

For a noblewoman, for Leechee, how irreplaceable is that?

"Please take care of me, take care of my physical condition, and consider whether I can spend my free time." His Highness only scolds me when I do something dangerous.... and yet, if you're going to say something like "help me"......

The next moment, Leechee clung to Arnold with her words.



"Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!?"

Arnold and Dietrich's surprise was directed at Leechee at once.

Arnold's body looked slim as a swordsman. However, if you actually turn your arms like this, you will be surprised by the good physique and stiff feeling of your muscles.

Trying not to think about it deeply, Leechee surely scolded Dietrich.

"I will prove it to His Highness Dietrich!" See how wonderful Her Highness Arnold is as a husband! ”

"N-no, that's what I want...!"

………………

However, it was only for a few seconds that I was able to stay in such a position.

Richet then apologized to Arnold on his return carriage, his face blushing brightly.
