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

Rudolph Gert Gutheil assisted in future wars with the invasion centered on the western continent.

While commanding on the battlefield, I have heard that the reason why [Emperor Arnold Hein] was particularly important was that Gutheil was good at using intelligence.

However, this is during the war, and not all information about Galkhain can be extracted. It is also possible that the information itself was deliberately leaked for strategic purposes.

(In fact, Lord Arnold is still manipulating rumors about himself. Even after his remarkable political achievements, he does not pretend that it is his own, but leaves the impression that he is a "ruthless and brutal crown prince")

I also learned about Arnold and Princess Harriet that rumors and future events cannot be trusted as they are.

That's why Leechee needs to see for herself.

"Hmmm. Sylvia, my knight, Gutheil..."

It was Theodore who had come to the garden earlier to stick his cheek at the garden table.

Beyond Theodore's gaze was a man and a woman walking among the blooming flowers. Theodore opened his mouth as he poked the cake that Leechee had divided.

"Well, Goutheil looks well, too." You're not as tall as your older brother, you have a sophisticated face, you have a crisp eyebrows, you're tall, and you're in good shape. "

"Sylvia hardly seems to remember her appearance. However, I was very relieved to be carried away by Master Gootheil."

"So the sister-in-law decides how to cooperate with the singing princess..."

In Theodor's words, Leechee also pays attention to the person across the garden.

It was very helpful that His Highness Theodor just walked by!

"-Yeah. When you suddenly said," Do you know the knight Gutheil-sama? ", you were very vigilant about what you were getting into..."

Not far from the garden were Sylvia, the red-haired singer, and Gutheil, the knight who was in a panic as she smiled at her.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Even if Sylvia wants to thank me, I can't do anything about it."

Of course, Leechee, who was only Arnold's fiancé, couldn't ask for a knight.

Therefore, it was necessary to go through Arnold, the royal family, but I heard that he was busy with his official duties in the office in the morning.

"I'm glad that you accepted the visit with pleasure......"

"Hmm. Looking at that, I don't think he's fuller either."

"Huh. Do you understand?"

Leechee and Theodore are not listening to their conversation.

Sylvia has been talking a lot in the garden with a soft smile. How could Theodor judge Goutheil for that, even though he was much more nervous?

Tilting his neck, Theodore gave a lumpy, perfect smile.

"Your sister-in-law is really weak when it comes to romance!" I didn't even realize that Kamil likes Elsa, except for Elsa herself, she's probably my sister-in-law. "

T-That's it!

Kamil is one of the knights who escorts Leechee.

Kamil, a knight from the favela, is a childhood friend of Elsé, who grew up in the same favela. But Leechee had no idea that Kamil was giving Else a second thought.

"With regard to love, I don't have enough training..."

Eh, what is training?

(In addition to that)

Leechee leaned down gently and thought.

(Though I think that it is still useless. until you fulfill your vows....)

After thinking that almost unconsciously, Leechee forgot about it and raised her face.

Your Highness Theodore, what kind of a lady is Guthey?

To get to the point, I cut into what I wanted to hear. We have a simple purpose to gather information, but we want you to know that for Sylvia, who has become a friend, there is no support.

"I think he's serious, right?" He is 23 years old and stands out among the Knights. She had a pretty good sword arm, and she was in the middle of her studies. It seems like it's a bit of a struggle, or that the guidelines are not very good, but I can say that it's honest. It's just-- "

Theodore, who had a speechless expression, glanced at Leechee with a stick on her cheek.

"Hey, you asked me about Gootheil, and that means I know a lot about Gootheil. In other words, your sister-in-law told you that he might become your brother's Kingsguard."

"... Mr. Gootheil, you didn't tell me this as a personal story." His Highness Arnold is currently considering expanding his Guard. "

“So here's the problem. What do your elder brother's chosen subordinates have in common?”

“Besides the fact that you are all very good?”

Theodore tried to play, but Leechee gave in lightly.

“His Highness Theodor has no enemies, because of his knowledge of His Highness Arnold.”

”Hmph. Well, I'll tell you what I can't help it.”

Her blue eyes, a little darker than Arnold's, narrowed proudly.

But after that, Theodore mumbled with an erased expression.

“Everyone. They're capable, but they can't accept it for some reason, and they're oppressed.”

"Ah....."

That's what I'm taught, and I'm going to do it.

"The Servant Oliver was originally a knight with a very promising future. The eldest son of the Marquis family, whom my father treasured. He said that his sword was very strong and he had the power to move people. I don't want to admit it."

"......" I heard that the training of my boyhood broke down and I could no longer aim for the Knight. "

“Yes, he was mentored with violent severity by his father, the Marquis of Fleetheim. As a result, I couldn't hold my sword properly. The Marquis decided that Oliver was unnecessary. My brother made me a servant after being cut off by surprise."

It's much more painful than Oliver told me on the surface. Leechee, who had faded, continued Theodore.

"So is Kamil, who is from a ghetto and has not been given a good reputation. Galkhain is a meritocracy, but that's why everyone pulls their legs together. And you are the only one who has been unduly evaluated for many other reasons."

Your Highness Arnold......

"Actually, my brother is very thorough about that." My brother's military horse, Hildebrandt, is a good horse, but the treatment of the previous owner is terrible, and he took over the place where he died. "

As for the horse, Leechee was also picked up the other day. He was a truly wonderful horse, and he listened to Arnold well.

Horses are wise creatures who understand how people feel. I'm sure you understand that Arnold helped himself.

"Of course, 'having excellent abilities' is an absolute requirement." Otherwise, no matter how underprivileged you are, your brother won't look at you. "

Having said that, Theodore turned her cute eyes towards me like a girl.

"Sister-in-law, do you understand what I'm saying?"

"... that Lord Gutheil had only reason to be a Guardian Knight candidate for His Highness Arnold."

"What's your answer? Gutheil..."

Theodore whispered and taught Leeche softly.

- Is that true?

"Come on. I'm just checking around here."

Organizing the information conveyed in his head, Theodor leaned his neck.

“Hey, but can this help support your love affair?”

"Yeah, that's enough."

Leechee smiled and replied with a snappy smile. Everything is not true, but it is not a lie at all.

"... even so, Your Highness Theodor, once again, it's an amazing information network." As expected of you, the younger brother of Lord Arnold. "

"Fufufu, praise me even more for being your brother." Besides, you're playing Oliver right now. [Which of you is more familiar with your brother?] So it's only natural that you know about the Kingsguard Knight candidate. ”

(I don't think Mr. Oliver would be interested in winning or losing the battle at all......)

Don't say what you think. Just then, Sylvia and Gutheil returned, talking slowly around the garden.

So, Gootheil-sama, will you meet me again at a later date?

"Oh, um... if it's okay with me"

(We're making progress on our date appointment!!)

From Leechee's point of view, it's happening too fast. Gootheil said hesitantly while his eyes were rounded.

"But Lord Sylvia, are you really feeling well?" Yesterday you were so light that I was worried. ”

Well...

At that moment, Sylvia laughed happily and was very cute from the woman's perspective.

"It seems that Gootheil just cared about me, and that's why he climbed to the sky." Your body is perfectly fine now. "

"Aren't you doing something impossible?" If you think about it, you shouldn't have taken a walk in the garden like this. I'm so sorry. "

"I'm fine with that, too." I felt Mr. Gootheil take care of me and walk slowly. ”

"... if you're feeling sick, I'm glad."

Looking at Gootheil, who breathed out in relief, Theodor was right, and I felt a special care for Sylvia.

Sylvia waves a small hand towards Leechee. Leechee smiled as she was told "Thank you" by the movement of her lips alone.

(The truth is, I wish we could be together a little longer. I have a job for you, Mr. Gootheil.)

Then Theodor opens his mouth.

"What, the princess is coming home?" If you take home a popular opera singer on your own, you'll know the rudeness of this castle. "

"Your Highness Theodore."

"Gootheil, I command you to bring her safely."

Guthey was surprised, but after looking down at Silvia, he bowed his head deeply and replied.

"I understand." I will protect you even if you change your life. "

I was moved by Theodore's thoughtfulness when I saw Sylvia's eyes shining.

Say hello to Sylvia, promise to talk to her again soon, and see her off. Sylvia's sideways face, taken by Gootheil, smiled as if the flowers were falling.

"Exactly, Your Highness Theodor..." But is Mr. Gootheil okay with your plans? "

"I'll tell the Knights well." Besides, basically, he's not entrusted with a job that other people can't change. "

"... even though you're an excellent person, right?"

And it probably has something to do with the circumstances that Theodore taught me earlier.

“Your Highness Theodore, I have one more favor to ask of you when you get here.”

"... after all, you're willing to get involved in something weird...!!"

But in the end, after hearing Leechee's story, Theodore agreed, "That's how it is... I'm getting used to it, but I'm afraid of myself."
