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

Dietrich's coup is more of a future event than it is now. As it should be, Leechee wouldn't know.

However, there were certainly signs of that.

"The strange thing in the first place was the evening party where the betrothal was done to me."

It reminds me of the night of the first of May, which is now about two months and a little before.

Leechee looked back when she heard about Dietrich's coup for the first time in her life.

(The name of the evening party on that day was supposed to be a social gathering between the nobles, which was common.)

Leechee and Dietrich have graduated from college at the end of March.

Since April, Riesche has been in the educational period to become the Princess of the Prince in earnest, and Dietrich and I haven't met since graduating that day.

And it was told him that he was to have a night party that night, and he made haste to prepare.

The absence of a Dietrich escort was something that Leechee was used to.

But I was in a hurry, and I didn't realize I didn't usually have the information I was supposed to know about.

"...... I hadn't been told by the Royal Castle of the invitation to that evening party."

Then Arnold said, slightly winking.

"Isn't it because that man was going to tell you to abort your engagement?"... it's an unpleasant story. "

"Still, it's strange." His Highness Dietrich is in that state, but your father, His Majesty King Ermita, has always been considerate of me. Whatever His Majesty Dietrich's intentions may have been at the evening party hosted by His Majesty the King, it is impossible that I have not been told the details. ”

When I heard that Dietrich had started a rebellion, Leechee, who had been a merchant in her life, was convinced by the discomfort she was feeling.

"I'm sure that the evening was organized by His Highness Dietrich without the approval of His Majesty the King." If you think that's because it was for the purpose of breaking my engagement..... "

But if that's the case.

And it must be strange to bomb my sins in the absence of your father.

Because Leechee was a bad girl, Dietrich used it as a reason for breaking her engagement and tried to plead guilty. If the king, who has the power to make those decisions, hasn't seen and heard it, there's nothing he can do about it.

Arnold's eyebrows are still uncomfortable.

"Your sins were all guilty of wrong." That man tried to bring you down in public before his father and king pursued it, and to bring you into disrepair. "

"Not only His Majesty the King, but also my parents were not invited to that evening. That's why I thought it was a social gathering of the younger generation, centered on the sons and daughters of the nobility. However, in fact, there were all the dignitaries there."

……

"If it's just about breaking the engagement, my parents would need it, too, right? However, in that venue, only the King, the Queen, and my parents were absent, and there were other towns and villages in the vicinity....."

While I was talking about it, the uncomfortable feeling of the merchant's life began to wobble in Leeche.

(I tried to defeat the coup of Dietrich in order to step into His Majesty Arnold.)

Wouldn't it be too distorted to look back again?

(Is it natural to feel uncomfortable? His Highness Dietrich's revolution will fail. That's why the movement is full of holes, but it's convincing......)

Nevertheless, I wonder what this disgusting feeling is.

What if His Highness Dietrich's aim was actually to gather the noblemen there, excluding your father and my father?

This is what I imagined in the life of a merchant.

"I don't think that man would have that much of a head to turn."

"Let me choose my words!" Certainly, Dietrich is not a good man for plots and schemes. If you're thinking of something unexpected, you're probably surrounded by people who are taking on the role of Lord Dietrich. "

I can't tell Arnold, but in fact, Dietrich's coup was instigated by some of his lords.

(... but it's still weird, isn't it?)

The sway inside Leechee grew bigger and bigger.

Arnold smiled as if he had seen through it.

“Is there a reason to take over the throne as soon as possible in your homeland at such risk?”

"Your Highness Arnold is right."

The country of Hermiti has always been a country of strife.

Even in the war of a few years ago, being a small country did not allow the major powers to look at it and escape the invasion.

(Was it necessary to deliberately plan for the overthrow of the state when the government was stable after the war? Even so, with His Highness Dietrich in the head, which is not suitable for revolution, the coup actually fails......)

Because she knows the future of "revolution failure", she frowns at events she has not dug into.

In fact, the revolution will happen.

Even if Arnold is right and Dietrich cannot find a reason to rush to take over the throne, the event will happen in the future. When I think about the conclusion, what answer does it give?

What inspired His Highness Dietrich?

Here, a new idea emerged, different from the conclusion of the future we know.

“Not someone who wants to make the Hermiti kingdom better, but someone who wants to get something.... a third party who wants to put the Hermiti kingdom in turmoil...?"

The first thing that came to mind was the Fabranian nation, which was aiming to manufacture platinum.

Galkhain's fortune was made, and Harriet, Princess of Sigwell, was used to distribute it.

However, Arnold and Leechee assume that the case is not Fabrania's discretion, but a prospectus of a third party who was trying to trick Galkhain.

(I wonder why you've been overlooking it all this time.)

Leechee snorted.

(To the most uncomfortable guest at that evening party)

When I realized it, I was nervous all at once.

(I was not informed that I was being invited. The biggest important person that night...!!)

And then I stared at Arnold again.

"...... Your Highness Arnold......"

"... ah, haha"

Arnold, who was the crown prince of the great power Galkhain and should have no reason to participate in the evening party of the weak, looked through the conclusions reached by Leechee and laughed darkly.

"... were you there from the beginning to investigate its existence?"

Arnold narrows his eyes and looks at Leechee.

I don't know.

"Your Highness...!"

"It is true that I took the invitation." ― ― ― If a country that didn't have decent national ties delivers an invitation to a nightly party that doesn't have any unusual charm, we'll soon know that it's a bad provocation.

Why didn't you think it was strange from the beginning?

Arnold couldn't have gone to such a small party. Since then, Leechee has seen him act as his fiancé next to Arnold.

(I went to buy my ring because of Prince Kyle's scouting, and it was official business and church vigilance that accompanied me to the church. Not only did we welcome Prince Curtis and Prince Harriet to Vinreece, but we were also able to investigate the mint...)

Arnold's actions always have multiple meanings.

(It wasn't just for the sake of diplomatic relations that I was at the party that night....... since then, I've been chasing someone who wants to take Galkhain from another country.....)

And the back of Dietrich's revolution led to something unexpected.

(― ― "There is a high probability that the shadow part of the Hermiti nation is involved in the existence that wants to trick Galkhain." At least that's what Lord Arnold thought when he received the invitation to the evening party before he met me.)

That evening was attended only by Arnold from another country.

Of course, I've never sent an invitation to Galkhain in the past, and that was the only time.

Dietrich silently tried to open it to his father, and Arnold was invited to a gathering of dignitaries from all over the country.

It seems that there is no longer any mistake that someone was willing to plot a revolution in the future.

Leechee twitched her eyes and exhaled.

"...... I won't be able to catch up with Lord Arnold forever......"

"... is that right?"

Arnold reaches out and touches Leechee's hair like a stroke. I was surprised and blinked.
