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

"I'm really... I'm really, really sorry..."

"... no......"

In the carriage returning from the theatre to the castle, Richet bowed his head deeply.

I can't even see Arnold sitting across the street. While trembling, he repeated his apology desperately.

(There's a fire coming out of my face...!!)

The interior of the car was somewhat awkward from earlier. When you are aware of this, your cheeks are not so much hot as your ears, and your embarrassment becomes even more intense.

That, too, is the result of the actions we took earlier.

Leechee told Dietrich that she would prove Arnold to be gentle.

As a result, Dietrich stayed in Galkhein for a while. But this air in the carriage was caused by Leechee touching Arnold.

(Uuu, what do I say...!! I'd like to argue with His Highness Dietrich, that I've made a strange declaration of war, and that I'm holding on to His Highness Arnold......)

Such a thing is not a noisy place to hold your hips in public.

The moment I clung to it, I remembered Arnold's surprise and wanted to cover his face with both hands. I felt that Arnold's words were few, and I could not resist the silence.

"In the first place, including setting up a place to talk with His Highness Dietrich, I'm sorry for the inconvenience......"

Leechee apologized over and over again, and Arnold sighed.

"I'm not trying to control your behavior." You just have to meet the person you want to meet and talk to the person you want to talk to. "

"Your Highness..."

Naturally, Leechee wouldn't allow such freedom.

Dietrich is more normal, Leechee's mother is normal, and Arnold is different. The position of the daughter of the nobility and the wife of the royal family is such as it should be.

"... after all, I want you to know that Lord Dietrich is very kind to Lord Arnold."

Arnold says with a sarcastic smile.

“What that man says is true. Your words are sweeter."

"... that's impossible."

"More than that." If you want to keep that man in this city, you should make him pay for your nonsense. "

Arnold says so, but he's more than grateful for Dietrich's betrothal.

"I hate it much more when Lord Arnold says terrible things to me than what he does to me."

"I don't feel anything when I'm told what to say by such a person." No matter how much the trinket barks, you can let it go as you please. ─ ─ But...

After saying it with a cool face, Arnold spun in a slightly low voice.

"I'm not going to allow you to be taken lightly."

Leechee felt her heart jump again.

(... even though you've told me so much for me...)

What makes Arnold so ruthless and brutal?

I think so, but if you say it out loud, I'm sure they'll deny it. It seems that Dietrich and Arnold himself need to communicate outside of words in order for them to understand.

That said, I'm sure you were surprised at what happened earlier.



Leechee shrugged her shoulders at the sign that the conversation was back.

"It's unusual for you to behave like that."

"And... I don't want to sincerely apologize for hugging you..."

"...... that's not it"

For some reason, I was told to do so in the sinister face, and I tilted my neck.

"You seem more open to that man than you do to other people."

"Mugu..."

Indeed, as Arnold pointed out, Dietrich was aware that he was going to say too much.

"That's because I was also the eye-catcher of His Highness Dietrich, and I used to scold him a lot." I mean, it's just going to be inadvertently spicy on that person... we're also familiar with childhood. "

……

At that time, Arnold, with his cheek stick on the carriage window frame, stared at Leeche.

"Leeche"



Arnold pounds the seat next to him.

What he does is he signals to sit here. With a strange thought, Leechee stood up from the call and sat down beside Arnold.

Then, looking up at him, Arnold says, looking at us.

"Don't you scold me?"

"Hee-hee"

Leechee rolled her eyes in response to an unexpected question.

Arnold, who remained expressionless, seemed to be waiting for us to answer.

(I wonder if it's about official business...?)

Leechee was puzzled and spoke frankly.

I never would have disappeared if I had scolded His Highness Arnold.

Huh?

"For example, with regard to His Highness Dietrich, there was also an impatience that" I can't help it without telling you "......"

……

Arnold stretches out his hand as he hears Leeche speak.

It's like putting Leechee's side of her hair in her ear. Then, just like when I arrived at the theater earlier, I stroked the shaky earrings with my fingers.

"Lord Arnold doesn't have to be here without me... nnh"

After tickling her neck, Leechee glanced up at Arnold. Arnold, staring at Leechee, puts his blue eyes down a little.

I don't know.

……

Strangely, Leechee was surprised.

Could it be that someone scolded you once in a while?

……

Arnold gave a slightly narrative expression. Although it was not affirmed, it was not refuted, so I think there is nothing.

"Then, 'You can't work late every night' or something."

"... I'll return it to you as it is"

"Please take more rest and recuperation."

"I'll give it back to you as well."

"No... 'I should distribute my work more to others' or something..."

"...... Leeche"

Leechee, who had mixed a few little jokes with a lot of truth, told Arnold.

“So, 'If you're wary of someone, tell me too'?”

――……

Then, Arnold laughed with dark eyes, as if he was amused.
