(Lord Arnold said, "Come here"...!!)
I think that it is a misnomer, but I don't think I can explain what is wrong with it.
As Leechee moved her mouth, Arnold scratched her neck and smiled.
Hmm?
"...... ah"
I thought about it and took a step forward.
When I take my extended hand, I am drawn to Arnold's side.
Leechee looked up at Arnold with her fingers intertwined.
"... even if a new war breaks out sometime in the future"
It is a courageous thing for Leechee to say this' what if 'in front of Arnold.
But I didn't turn my eyes away from the blue eyes. Speak quietly so that no one else can hear you, except Arnold.
“How does His Highness Arnold intend to spend his life?”
……
Arnold laughed at Leechee's question.
"I'm not interested in hypotheticals."
But you're ready for it, aren't you?
"The king and the emperor take full responsibility for the country."
He speaks as if he were talking about nothing.
"The one named Port-au-Prince is made to live to inherit it.... especially in my case."
"...... ah"
Arnold's father sorted the large number of babies born by the color of their hair and eyes.
Perhaps Arnold wasn't the first child to be born. Nonetheless, it was told that Arnold was the crown prince who held the first place in the throne because the current emperor had killed other babies.
"Your Highness Arnold, there is no sin."
I put a little effort into the fingers connected to him.
(Your Highness thinks that your very existence is guilty...)
For Leechee, it's pretty rusty.
Earlier, Arnold said that no royalty or royalty should have the right to live as a person. But my brother Theodore and his princesses don't seem to want that.
Also, against Leeche, who will be the queen.
(This person is not allowed to be a 'person'. It's just you and your father.)
Is Arnold aware of the contradiction himself?
Thinking so, Arnold touched Leechee's heart.
"... a stunned look on his face"
……
Don't hesitate to show your face because you seem to have already seen through it.
"I'm grumbling, and I'm angry.... but to myself."
To you?
I'm not being too shy, though.
While sharpening his lips, Leechee sags.
I want you to be happy, Lord Arnold.
――――……
Arnold looked surprised.
"I hope that there will be all the happiness in the future of His Highness."... even if you say you don't need it... "
But you can't just wish for it.
In the future, I'll be more creative.
"... ingenuity"
"Eat the most delicious rice in the world, sleep on a fluffy bed that's melting, and admire beautiful scenery that's dazzling."
Leechee scrutinizes everything she can think of.
“By delivering these experiences, I will make sure His Highness Arnold knows how happy he is.”
……
I said the words with serious feelings.
However, Arnold laughed tinyly after an expression that seemed to be punctuated by voidness for a moment.
Hmph
It was an unusual smile for Arnold, as if he could not stand it.
"I already got it for you."
……
I stroke my head and bend my neck. Arnold then makes some familiar, mean smile.
"What about you?" Have you decided what you want to celebrate on your birthday? "
Ugh...
The customer pointed out the painful area and felt a jerk.
"What do you want?"
"... I want what you want, Lord Arnold..."
"That's a no."
Ugh, ugh, ugh.
There are only eight days left until Leeche's birthday. I know it's hard to get ready without telling you quickly, but I still can't think of anything.
"You're too greedy."
"That's right! I don't want to be the only one told by Lord Arnold...!"
Huh?
I peeked into it like a peep, and I was stunned.
Arnold may have no other intention, but Leechee will be conscious of the future.
(I haven't even solved the problem of kissing you in marriage...! We don't have many days left, so we have to hurry. besides....)
Leechee looked into the hall of the evening party to avoid Arnold's attention.
The hall is guarded by a knight. We need to find out more about one of them, Gutheil.
(One by one, steadily. First of all, tomorrow, in the way I asked His Highness Theodor to do....)
The next day.
In the Knight Training Ground at the Imperial Castle, there were rookie knights moving around to clean up after themselves.
"Sven, can you get that winding cloth over here?"
Yeah. Watch out for the wooden swords there, they might even scratch.
Thank you! I'll leave you to it.
As they got used to the training days, they groomed the wooden swords they collected.
One of them, the new knight Sven, sighed as he looked at us.
"Damn it.... I can't believe you sent me here without Fritz and without enough manpower."
Me?
When she realized that she was talking, Leechee raised her face.
You've been working hard since your special training. ― Lucius.
"Fufu"
Leechee, dressed as a boy and named "Lucius", smiled frankly at her companion Sven, who had been practicing in the morning in her previous special training.
