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

I feel that the vigilance of the knights, who had previously far-fetched the leachet somewhere after one of the antidotes, has become a little soothing.

They didn't initially want to entrust their wounded companions, but on the rest of the road, they actively reported on the injured person's situation and consulted Liesche for treatment.

And just to thank you, during the break, you will stroll through the woods and collect the herbs that Liesche wants.

I don't want to thank you for the treatment, but I'm honestly glad you cared.

Since I went through my pharmacist life, I have been collecting ingredients for medicines if there are gaps, but these are useful in many situations.

And a few days after the day there was a bandit raid.

The carriage finally arrived in the Imperial Capital of the Garchhein Country.

"This is..."

After creeping through the carriage gate, Liesche leaks her voice unexpectedly.

It's a tidy city lined with white-walled buildings. The ground floor is lined with various shops and the upstairs windows that look up are decorated with flowers.

The people who crossed the well-kept brick roads laughed, and in the heart of the beautiful city stood a majestic castle.

"It's the Imperial Capital Sea Engines. It's the biggest city in the country, and it's one of the trading hubs."

Listening to Arnold's explanation, Liesche was shrugging inside.

People quickly gather to see the luxurious carriages that have entered the city.

They held a shopping bag in both arms or held hands with the kids and waved at me with a look that welcomed something great.

The city is busy and makes you wonder about the richness of this country. The kids staring at me with a glittering look were adorable, and Liesche smiled unexpectedly. The young cheeks stain a rosy color and jump around happily.

The carriage continues straight through the streets and creeps through the main entrance of the castle into the castle. On the left and right of the road, the knights aligned themselves and welcomed the Crown Prince and his fiancée.

Arnold, who got off the carriage first, reaches out to Liesche. It was a very natural operation, so when I accidentally took that hand and got off, the knights seemed a little upset.

……

"Good long journey, Your Highness, Leishe."

Oliver, a squire in the leading carriage, crosses over to the welcome knight and bows his head. After that, I looked at Arnold uncommonly.

"Sometimes it's unusual for His Highness to lend a hand to a woman."

(... Ha!!

Upon hearing that allegation, I realized that I had broken the condition that I put out to Arnold, 'Don't Touch a Finger', from the leachet. He was the one who reached out first, but this is the one who borrowed it.

"Ku, ku..."

I honestly regret that Arnold, a successful ploy, started laughing. Oliver was wondering. Then he eared something at Arnold.

Arnold, who received the report, sighs troublesome.

"What's wrong?

"... they were letting us arrange a detachment inside the Imperial Castle, but they are late in preparation due to a mistake. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to spend a few days in the guest room in the castle."

That's what they told me, and I'm surprised.

As one of the conditions for marriage, it was Liesche who mentioned 'separation from your parents'. But that's not actually easy. I imagined it would take a few months lightly to prepare, but are you going to do something about it in just a few days?

"Um, you don't have to worry about me, I'll be fine in your outhouse from today."

"What?... but I haven't used the outhouse in a long time. It's dusty and terrible."

"I told you, didn't I? I don't care if it's old or dirty. Of course, Your Highness, live on the street until you are ready."

I'd really like to say 'I'll live alone in the future', but in the first place I wished for separation, to keep Arnold away from the emperor.

"And me, because I'm a hostage!

"... why do you seem so proud..."

Liesche stretched her chest and grinned.

Guided was a detached palace in a corner of the vast Imperial Castle grounds.

It's a small castle, four stories long. That it was not used for many years. There, it is certainly dusty.

(But it's not that bad)

I imagined a more stowed place, but I rather have the impression that there is no object in the castle and it is tidy. The dust is just terrible, and there is no degradation because it was abandoned.

Not turning your hands on cleaning to a castle you don't use is even more solid.

'If you want to stay out of the palace, you can do whatever you want. I'll be standing in for the next few days, but I'll keep the guest room open at all times.'

That's what Arnold left behind and disappeared with Oliver.

Oliver, the fact that I've been opening the castle for the last two weeks leaves me with official business I don't know if I'll be done all night for a few days.

(Emperor Arnold Hein... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still here. I'm curious about what he's thinking, but hurry up and make your own bed)

Leishe changed into the simplest dress she had ever brought and wrapped her arms around her.

First, open the windows of all places, watched by the knights of the escort.

Fortunately, it's a beautiful day and the sun is good in this castle.

There are no curtains or carpets, making it a splendid space with all the conditioning, although it looks like a rusty castle of carrots.

With ventilation secured, the leachet next looks for a staircase to the basement.

Pushing open the heavy wooden door, a lumpy rat ran through if at his feet. The accompanying knight screams "wow," but enters the basement with a cheerful face.

"Ri, Mr. Leishe. What are you doing in a place like this?

"The tools used by the samurai are mostly stored in these basements. Here."

Get a hatchet, broom and chili, and a new rag from the store.

Buckets were also found, drawing water, and Liesche began to sweep the castle.

Cover your mouth with a wrapped handkerchief and dust off high places, such as the heel of a window frame. When it's done, clean the dust that fell on the floor.

(This is so visibly dusty, it's rewarding!

Liesche strains out and wraps her falling sleeves around again.

At first, he moved to push the broom so that the cotton dust that was piling up like snow did not dance. Collect the dust in one place and when you throw it away, move to cleaning.

When you're done sweeping, now you're ragging. The truth is I want a mop, but I didn't see it in the storeroom.

"Mr. Lieche. Anything I can do to help?

A pair of knights gave me a voice. The castle used by the royal family, even though it is far from the palace, is huge with every room.

But Liesche shakes his neck to the side.

"You can't ask all the knights who stay by your side as escorts to clean up"

"But... Your Highness's fiancée, Leishe, has no reason to do this on purpose. Please use the guest room at the main castle."

"No, I really liked this castle."

There was one reason why Liesche would insist.

It's really hard to handle a guest room. The samurai life, just to say that there will be only one night of customers there, the samurai are chased to prepare for no break from morning to evening.

No hair, no dust, no sheets. The harshness of labor, of course, and the tension that failure is unacceptable, make it a waste.

I don't want to put that kind of hardship on you for a room where Liesche spends only a few days. They say the samurai of this castle are few in number, and it will be hard just to turn around the work of the main castle.

"And, see,"

Look back around the end of the rag and show the knight.

Totally clean, the knight turned his eyes round as surprised when he saw the room plunged in bright sunshine.

"If you think you've cleaned yourself up like this, you're going to have more fun living the rest of your life, right?

When I said that and laughed, the knights also laughed somewhat strangely, agreeing that it would be.
