Leishe's antidote was adopted safely, and until the paralysis of the knights who applied it to their wounds was taken, they were to stay on the spot and rest their horses.

Leishe, who was able to get off unexpectedly, is very satisfied to be able to pick the herbs he was staring at from the carriage earlier.

Herbs that reduce inflammation, flowers that become stomach medicines, headache medicines. Sleeping mushrooms and the like are then collected and wrapped in handkerchiefs.

Arnold seemed to have arranged a preaching order for the border bosses of this country about the treatment of the bandits he had captured.

I was making adjustments with Oliver, but after a while, I come by the lake where Liesche was working.

"Was the hobby of picking flowers practical rather than ornamental?"

Seeing a leachet lined with harvested grass flowers, Arnold seemed in a good mood.

Lieche is just a little more alert as he lowers his hips beside him. However, the work resumed, especially since it did not look like something was going to happen.

From the medicinal herbs where the stem is useful, more and more unwanted leaves are removed. Instead of this leaf having no medicinal effect, it tasted delicious when added to the soup. Sleeping mushrooms are troublesome to handle spores and must be well sun-dried and dried.

(Would I be angry if I put it on the roof of the carriage and dried the mushrooms? As a carriage for the Crown Prince, it looks too bad. But can I just ask for it...?

Working seriously troubled, I noticed Arnold's gaze.

Apparently, you're observing Liesche at hand. With a cheekstick on his lap with an apparition, blurry, and carelessly looking at it.

(a child looking at the queue of ants......?

What is so much fun? Wondering, Arnold and I got eyes on each other.

"I'm sorry. Did you care about your gaze?"

"No. Something bothering you?

"I have no other intention. I just don't think I know your bottom."

Arnold laughs.

"I can't help but look forward to what means you'll entertain me next"

(Make people like rare beasts or something...)

It was a rude story. Liesche is only redoing his life seven times, and the rest is a normal person.

"Earlier conditioning was not done for His Highness's entertainment"

"I know."

Arnold put down one breath, turning off his provocative grin.

"- The knight you poked at the choice of blackmail was a man out of the Glades."

"Hey, it's outrageous that it's a blackmail. I don't know what you mean."

"The Garchhein nation is admired for its meritocracy, but it is often not justified by its origins. He still didn't succumb to the external pressure and worked hard to become a knight."

Stop the hand taking the seeds of the flowers, and Liesche looks up at Arnold.

"The knight, whose paralysis was most severe, was shallow in the day since his assignment to the Knights, encouraging him to train day and night to succeed in this mission. The Knight of the Son, who bowed his head and thanked you, was wounded together trying to shelter the newcomer, a good looking after man."

"You know the knights very well."

"I chose you, because you're under my command."

When Arnold cuts the words there, he sets his posture right and bows his head deeply to the leachet.

"I thank you for saving me"

……

I don't know what, I don't know what.

Is this the false face of Arnold Hein, who has become an evil and outrageous emperor in all of Liesche's life? Or is it the real face?

When I was pointing my sword at a bandit, I had eyes that seemed annoying to see a tired toy.

"I haven't done anything special enough to ask His Highness to bow his head. I just used the knowledge I had."

"Ha. There wouldn't be a warrant for a lady who happens to have the requisite knowledge of medicine."

"Better than that! When I cut my arm earlier, you tried to grab my wrist, didn't you? Now you were going to break your promise not to touch me."

"That would be force majeure"

After talking to each other for a while, I sighed again.

"Speaking of which. Why are you wary of me, knights?

"Alert?...... oh. All the knights who stayed at the Royal Castle as escorts heard about your broken engagement. I guess I stirred up an unwanted imagination about what kind of bad girl would marry me."

"I see."

Sure, we wouldn't all pepper to start saying that such a human suddenly made drugs for the wounded.

"Then I'll tell you one thing. In Garchhein country, there may be people who work disrespect against you. I'll hit my best hand not to, but just in case something happens, say it."

"Is there a circumstance that requires that warning?

"The choice of the queen is up to me, but it was a matter of decision that the opponent be a royal of another country. Your Duke's family will be royal."

Arnold is right. In a broad sense, there's nothing I can't say about being a member of the royal family.

"The reason why the Father Emperor ordered me to take the Lady from another country, not the noble lady of my own country..."

"You're a hostage."

The Garchhein nation is a country that extended its territory considerably during the war.

Although we now have peace treaties with neighbouring countries, that relationship is a dangerous one. If Garchhein tells you to give me the princess, there's no country I can turn down.

If you take the princess of another country into the royal family, Garchhein will have an advantage over that country. Speaking of extremes, it is also possible to threaten "if you turn your teeth, your daughter's safety will not be guaranteed".

"To the Father Emperor, a decree is issued that 'the Queen is a man of the Duke's family who will be brought to the royal family, and a maid who was also the fiancée of the Crown Prince'. I liked it and plundered it from Prince Wang, but he was one of the most important people in the country, and Prince Wang resisted until the end."

"Riku..."

Indeed, Dietrich complained and made a scene forever. I have no right to say this to him about Leishe's marriage.

"You were recognized by my father, but that was because he judged you worthy of being a hostage. In the country, there will come out those who insult you."

"Your Highness. It is"

"But such a man shuts up. As the Crown Princess, you are magnificent..."

"Hostages (it) is such a wonderful thing!

Arnold smirks at the leachette, who is unexpectedly frozen.

"... what?

"If you treat 'hostages in fact', you won't be driven out on official business as Crown Princess, will you?!? The treatment of being lived in the corner of the castle and only having to leave when you need it, with no say in official business or national traffic!

"Oh, oh..."

"Yay...! Now I think I can do it properly......!

Bite the joy off, Leishe trembles.

As a matter of fact, I was quite worried about that.

The Crown Princess is an absolutely daunting and intense duty. Leishe, who had been educated to do so, knew that the Queen would be put to work on a schedule that would give her little sleep either.

But if you're treating hostages, you shouldn't be allowed to do such an important job.

"My shoulder's loaded. Thank you for keeping your word, Your Highness."

"... no..."

"Oh, of course, don't worry. As busy as I am until the end of the matrimonial ritual, I am aware of that."

Leishe was relieved and went back under the herb.
