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

That afternoon, something very troubling happened to Leechee.

It didn't happen to Leechee herself. It's about my fiancée, Arnold, and my ex-fiancé, Dietrich.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness Arnold."

At night, Leechee, dressed up for the evening party, thanked Arnold in the corridor on her way to the hall.

"... I can't believe His Highness Arnold will be accompanying His Highness Dietrich on his afternoon duties..."

…………

The message from the Servant Oliver was that Leechee was in the middle of a marriage ceremony after she saw off Sylvia and the others.

I was surprised, but apparently it was Oliver's suggestion.

To go around the castle a few places, he retrieved Dietrich and told me to show him Arnold's work.

”... is that going to disturb His Highness Arnold?”

You'll be in the way, won't you? Can't you tell us a rumor about Dietrich? "

Oliver-sama...!

But there's no problem. Trying to get some distractions will not have much effect on your work. It would be a meaningful time for His Highness Dietrich to see the official business of his royal family in his recent years. ”

Leechee noticed Oliver with a refreshing smile.

Um, are you enjoying yourself?

Hahaha, there is no annihilation! However, it is also an inspiration for me to deal with the same generation who are close to me. "

Could that be a good stimulus?

I was curious, but when I heard that Arnold had agreed, I decided to leave it to him.

"W-Were you okay?" I'm sorry to hear about what happened to Dietrich. "

“Never mind, whoever accompanies you on official business will do the same.”

"But, Your Highness..."

At that time, there was a small noise from the implant next to the corridor.



Leechee gets a little surprised. But not to the sound itself.

As soon as he heard the sound, Arnold, who was next door, showed him how to protect Leechee.

"Your Highness Arnold"

……

Hidden behind Arnold's back, Leechee peers from the side.

After that, the two of them stared next to the hedge.

It looks like a cat, doesn't it?

"--That's right."

What emerged from the shadows was still a small black cat, which could almost be called a kitten.

Leechee crouches down in front of Arnold and reaches for the black cat. Looking at the lack of lowering, it looks like a cat that is used to people.

"Come here, come here."

……

"Ah... I've gone."

I'm sure that cat will have plans for the future.

Feeling a little disappointed, he stood up and grabbed Arnold's arm again.

"Thank you for protecting me."... but didn't Lord Arnold know that it was the sign of an animal? "

"Just because you're an animal, there's no guarantee that it's safe for you. In the first place, at the time of entering the beast, there is room to review the security."

"Keitaro... a kitten..."

That said, Arnold was right, it's not good to have an intrusion route.

If someone brought you in, it means there's a leak in your belongings.

And if the cat comes in on its own, it will prove that there is a wall that can be broken into by telling the tree, etc.

(His Highness Arnold will be the judge of any little information.)

There are many things to learn about Arnold's way of thinking. Thinking so, I thought about it for a moment.

(It is about Gootheil who told His Highness Theodore. Of course you know Lord Arnold.....)

The look on Arnold's face was as unchanged as usual.

Then, while exchanging uncompromising conversations, I reached the hall of the evening party.

I see Lord Arnold and his fiancé, Leeche.

As soon as the door to the hall opened, wow, a soft cheer boiled.

In the vast hall lit by the chandelier, many dignitaries gather for a glass of wine. Walking through the gaze of each man and woman, Leechee suddenly checked the visitor's face.

(--There are some people I've never met before. I wonder if it's Lord Dirkmeyer who is wearing a rose-inspired costume. The lady with whom Sir Hannawalt took her, she must have spoken before. The evening party was hosted by His Majesty the Emperor, but you were absent as usual tonight. Your Highness, Arnold, will be your father's substitute....)

After thinking that much, I felt my gaze and raised my face.

Arnold, who was close to his eyes, looked at Leechee and softened his expression. At the same time that I breathed in his expression, I heard a rumbling voice from around me.

"Hey, hey. His Highness Arnold has such a gentle expression..."

(... perhaps. I wonder if Lord Arnold always watched me like this at night.)

It reminds me of what Arnold told Dietrich yesterday.

I was embarrassed, but I was also heartfeltly happy. Leechee is the first man she meets who gets close to her.

"I... I'm in a good mood tonight, Your Highness Arnold." It's been a long time since I've seen your face, but I'm glad you're doing well. ”

"... Sir Aegel"

Arnold's voice echoed in an unpleasant mood.

(Marquis Aegel, Your Majesty Theodor, it is true that the current Emperor is highly appreciative of you.)

Leechee wants to say hello, but she can't open her mouth before Arnold introduces her. Until then, take a gesture of gratitude and keep listening to the conversation.

"First of all, let's celebrate your engagement."... but I'm surprised. Her Highness, who had never been seen by such a woman before, finally chose the bride. "

……

"My daughter should be pretty good with her eyes." I am very sorry that I did not meet your Highness.... but I've heard amazing rumors. anything like "Your Highness Arnold is doting his fiancée"..... "

……

Leechee bowed her head and jumped her shoulders.

(Lord Aegel must have ruled the western region...!! What the hell is going on here?!)

The marquis's gaze seemed to have been turned to him, so the timing of his greeting was likely to be here. I know that, but it's awkward and I can't raise my face.

But the next moment, Arnold put his hand on Leechee's jaw.

I hate you raw.



It prompts you to raise your face.

Arnold and his eyes were close because he had obeyed reflexively. With your hand on the outline, you can smile gently and turn your gaze to the eye.

"Ah, Lord Arnold..."

He called out to him in silence and with barely any movement of his lips.

Next, Arnold says, with a provocative, unstoppable smile, hugging Leechee's waist.

"--What's wrong with doting on my wife?"

(Hee......)

I'm embarrassed that the strange incense oozes into my speech with a slightly bad face.

The Marquis also seemed to have bowed down, and it seemed that he could not succeed in the second sentence. Arnold snorted and took Leechee's hand.

"Let's go, Leechee. You can say hello later."

"Ah, yes. Excuse me..."

I apologize for the abbreviated thank you, but the Marquis left in a hurry. Leechee looks up at Arnold as her heart jumps.

Um, is that okay?

What's happening?

(Whatever you say...!)

I feel there have been a lot of problems, but is it okay? However, I don't have the courage to dig deeper from myself, and I'm going to squeeze my mouth out.

"If you mean to say hello, you don't have to worry about it now." - More than that. "

"Ah....."

Chasing Arnold's gaze, Leechee remembers.

"That's right..."

Looking at the pillar in the corner of the hall, Dietrich, who was supposed to be with Arnold all afternoon, shuddered as he peered through the shadow of the pillar.

(Well, why is Lord Dietrich peeking at your face with tears like a puppy...?)
