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

Arnold, who knows Leechee, quietly observes his surroundings with blue eyes and makes various decisions.

Those eyes were insightful, and if they met, they could see through everything. Arnold is always sharp and calm in his judgment.

However, on rare occasions, the intention was to create a defenseless atmosphere somewhere.

That's when I'm looking at Leechee.

(That said, rather than.....)

While processing under the medicinal herbs, I glanced at Arnold.

The courtyard is flooded with intense summer sunshine.

In the sweaty heat of sitting still, Leechee leaves herbs on a white round table in the garden.

It's fresh herbs that we just harvested in the herb garden.

Herbs grow surprisingly well in the summer months, even in the course of the day. The medicinal herbs I picked around the time of today had a vibrant scent of green leaves.

Arnold sits across the street with his legs tied together. She was staring at Leechee with a cheek stick on her arm.

(Lord Arnold is somehow blurry only when he sees me at hand...)

It may be said to be indifferent.

I used to think it looked like a toddler staring at Arnold and observing a procession of ants, but that's exactly what it looks like.

Even though she seems to be relaxed, she is sincere.

Arnold was not bored, and he was sure that Leechee was going to move her hand.

"Aren't you bored, Your Highness Arnold?"

……

When I asked, I couldn't figure out why I asked.

It was troublesome because you look younger than usual.

"No, it's not."

"If it helps your Highness to rest, I'm glad to hear that, but..."

Oliver, a servant, always heard Arnold lamenting about his inability to rest during his official duties. However, if you are going to rest at the corners, perhaps it would be better to take a nap.

But it's hot in here, isn't it?

Arnold's face is literally cool, but it's an outdoor summer anyway. Even though it's a shadow of a fading tree, I'm worried.

"You must be the one sweating." Are you sure you don't want to help? "

Asked to the contrary by Arnold, Leechee answered with a strain.

“Of course! This is something I enjoy doing!”

In living in this castle, it is Leeche's belief not to increase the work of others as much as possible.

In the field work, the Kingsguard knights said, "We are the ones who wield the wagon!" I refuse to say it, and I move my body. "

Arnold looked at Leechee and softened his expression.

"... that's fine. So, what about this herb?"

“Yes! This is a disinfectant that improves when exposed to certain conditions for a certain amount of time. When you mix it with soap, it's a great hygiene product.”

Leechee laughed, pouring water into a bucket placed on the table.

"Besides, it smells really good." To keep it that way, we first made ice water. "

……

"Put the herbal leaves here. I rubbed it with cold water."

"...... hey, is it okay to stick your hand in the ice water up to your wrist?"

“We really need ice and water, and we need to use our hands without tools. While checking the feel of the herbs with your fingers, it's important to add or subtract the right force... oh my... oh my, it's cold...!"

"... that's right..."

Arnold pressed his eyebrows tightly and looked down at Leeche's hand, which had turned bright red.

Those eyes were dangerous, unlike when I looked at Leechee's hand blurry.

When Leechee tied her lips to the coldness, Arnold reached out to us like he was about to die.

"Richet.... once, I'll take my hand from there..."

"---... do it!"



Leechee puts her hand out of the icy water on Arnold's cheek.

With both hands cold as ice, Arnold smiled as he looked at the outline of Arnold's face in surprise.

"Fufu!... is it cold?"

――――……

The sun pouring down from above glistens with blue eyes like the sea.

Looking at the most beautiful light in the world, Leechee said in a bad child's mood.

"It's cool and pleasant, isn't it? And I'm glad my hands are warm.”

……

"But after all, it's summer. The water droplets that were attached to it dried up quickly... giggle!?"

While Leechee was on the lookout, Arnold suddenly made a move.

He took Leechee's hand, which was pressing against her cheek, and connected each of her right and left hands with Arnold's.

…………

That's how they intertwine their fingers.

"It's really cold."

"Ehh, Dan, Your Highness...!!"

A slightly lower voice than usual seemed to scold Leeche.

This is okay!

"Even though it's summer, is it this cold in such a short time?"

"I-I mean, it was all in ice water!"... ahhh!? "

I screamed because I was gripped by my tied hand.

It's not too strong, like wrapping Leechee's hand. Close to Arnold's hand, Leechee's cheeks burned.

However, Arnold looked at Leechee's finger with a genuine face.

"Your hands are always warm."... it wouldn't be a big deal if it was colder than my hands. "

"No!! That's not what I'm talking about!"

Arnold's right index finger traces the same side of Leeche's palm.

I was touched like I was following with my fingertips, and my body twitched and jumped into a tickle.

"Ah, Lord Arnold...!"

Arnold's hands were so big that Leechee's hands were all over the place.

The long fingers were muscular, the joints were rough and large, and blood vessels were floating on the instep. Even though it was a beautiful hand, this martial arts bone, which is a sword in all directions, highlighted the beauty of the hand.

When you are captured by this hand and watched closely, the fever spreads with the heartbeat.

“Touching cold water should cut your skin more easily. Wrapping it up with my hand is just a first aid, so I'll get you some hot water right away..."

Arnold's words stopped there.

……

…………

…………

……………………

"...... you're getting warm."

"That's why you said it was okay...!"

I didn't want to know why my cold fingertips warmed up so quickly.

Instead of my fingers, I feel that my ears are getting hot. With her hands finally released, Leechee hid her cheeks first.

“Is this cold-water work still going on?”

"Ugh, it's over already...!"

Oi.

I feel somewhat sorry for being told in a voice I didn't expect.

(Don't think so deeply...! calm down, calm down here....)

Leechee recoiled and touched the thin chain that was lifted from her neck.

Beneath the dress and through the valley of her chest came a sapphire ring from Arnold.

――……

Arnold looked surprised and realized it, Richet said.

"Is this the ring? When I do field work and water work, I take it off and put it on my necklace.”

……

Speaking of which, when Arnold went to pick out the ring, he also mentioned Leechee's hand.

"You'll be doing a lot of work with your hands." He makes medicines, makes chores, and moves around busily. ― ― I thought it would be pleasant to see the ornaments I gave you fitted to that finger.

When I remembered that time, I smiled.

"It's sad to hurt or drop an important and important ring.... but, look!"

Release your hand from the ring once and stretch your chest to boast of it swaying around your neck.

"Well. If you put it in a chain and hang it from your neck like this, you can wear it forever, right?"

…………

When I came up with this method, I was glad to see what a great idea it was.

The stone of the same color as Arnold's eyes shines in the sunlight. However, Leechee's confident stare at Arnold looked like she had never seen him before.

Leechee tilts her head, and he breaks the long silence and speaks.

“You don't have to do that. ― ― ―" If there was an intrusive errand, I would have had the option of not wearing a ring. "

"...... I won't wear it...?"

Leechee tilted her head more and more.

Repeatedly blinking, Arnold finally lowered his eyes and took a small breath.

"... All right, if that's all right with you."



I'm not sure, but Leechee said, "Yes!” he replied.

When I take the ring off the chain, Arnold said that I was looking at it.

Shall I fit you in again?



I remembered when I was fitted with this ring. He knelt down and took his hand, and was kissed by A-kun.

With a slightly mean smile, Leechee desperately shakes her head to the side.

"I... I'm fine...!!"

Because Leechee's fingertips aren't biting with cold water anymore.

On the contrary, it seemed to be getting hotter and hotter, and it was difficult to deceive them.
