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

"Hey. You've been calling your fiancé Sama" "Your Highness" "all this time?"

That day, when asked by Raul in the courtyard of Vinreese Castle, Leeche blinked suddenly.

"Raul, what does that mean...?"

"Because you're going to be his wife, right?" Now it's the engagement period, and I'm about to refrain from marrying. "

"Ugh..."

I am embarrassed to be told again, even though I have just been told a well-known fact.

Raul, who had taken Curtis's figure, gently squeezed his shoulders and continued to do so in a proper manner.

"If you're quite close to your fiancé, it's wild to keep calling His Highness Arnold." When you two are alone, isn't it more common to call you "Arnold" or something like that? "

"...... There is something......"

”-Yeah, that's enough.”

Raul laughed and grinned at Leechee even more.

"In this country, if you are officially married, you will call your husband 'Milord', right?"

"...... in a private place, that should happen......"

"Your Majesty, suddenly" Milord "is suddenly too fierce." It's almost a month before the wedding. I think we should call it "His Highness" more affectionately than "His Highness" for the engagement period before that. "

Leechee raised her eyebrows.

(In my opinion, [His Highness Arnold] is also a very friendly person......)

In his past life, he abandoned his full name "Arnold Hein." The same was true of Raul in the life of the hunter, but of course he wouldn't say such a thing.

Instead, I asked Raul.

"... does Galkhain have a specific name for the engagement period?"

“Hmm, I think I've heard that before?”

Raul had a frivolous smile, but he knew all sorts of things. That's why Leechee may even understand Galkhain's habits that she doesn't know.

"Isn't it nice to try a nickname or something else?" Then there might be some unusual reaction from "His Highness Arnold" as well. "

………………



"That's why I don't want to hear from Lord Arnold..."

"... so you're here with that decisive expression?"

In the office of the seaside castle, Arnold crowned Leechee's face.

Behind them, there was a sign that the Servant Oliver was laughing with all his might. When Arnold quietly stared at Oliver, he said, “Excuse me. I often leave my room,” he said, leaving the room.

“I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with Galkhain's habits.”

Leechee asked Arnold as she groped.

"However, it's more important than anything that you call me, right?"

……

That's why I wanted to call you His Highness Arnold.

Then Arnold puts down his pen and puts his cheek stick on the armrest of the chair.

"First of all, Galkhain has no specific name for the engagement period."

Eh!!

Apparently, they were completely fooled.

Sometimes Raul lies without knowing what he needs. If you see Raul later, you decide you have to protest.

"On top of that... even if there is such a custom, I won't let you change it, so don't worry."

Leechee was a little surprised by the words.

"You can call me whatever you want." Besides, I won't say anything, and I won't let a third party say anything. "

"Oh, that's no good!" If I work rudely or act against the practices of the royal family, I won't let you know...! "

Due to the mistake of the Queen, the Crown Prince was sometimes notorious. In a panic, Arnold continued looking at Leechee.

"Once you're officially a wife, you don't have to change anything."

"... do you know how to call me?"

"Yes, you don't have to change anything by marrying me."

Then he bows his eyes.

"--Just one thing."

……

Leechee quietly sees the meaning of the words spoken.

When I became someone's wife, there was much to be asked of women. If a husband were to become the crown prince of a country, there would be plenty of things that Leeche would have asked him to do.

However, Arnold takes care of Leechee in a very small way so as not to deprive her of her freedom.

(But....)

While I was happy with the feeling, there was a hint of loneliness.

This is similar to the mood of Arnold when he was given a ring, saying, "You don't have to wear it."

That's why you don't hesitate to say it.

"... my husband"

――……

Arnold looks slightly surprised.

Seeing that, Leechee said with a small smile.

“I will definitely call you that when we are married.”

……

"... this is the best way to call you husband..."

The concubine education received in her hometown is still rooted in Leechee. For Leechee, Arnold after marriage must have become a "husband".

However, after I actually tried it on my mouth, my skin became twitchy and smelly.

"Of course, I hope you don't dislike it!!... but you said you could call me what you wanted to call me, right?"

……

"Besides, until I get used to it, I might only do it when I'm alone..."

…………

Arnold said with a sigh.

"... do as you please"

"Y-Yes...!"

Although relieved by the response, he is holding his eyebrows.

(Somehow, you have a difficult face...)

Strangely enough, Leechee swore in her heart that she would practice her new name beforehand.
