Lesson 61: The Contract Two Years Ago

Milan-Helifalte is, to put it mildly, a very good prince.

Platinum blonde radiant hair on a neutral and neat face.

A cool appearance possesses the magic of physical strengthening on the back of his back, and is a powerful man who cannot be fattened by most men.

Because of his youth, who is only twenty years old, he can be somewhat emotional, but still has far cooler and more intelligent judgment than a young man his age. Unlike the monstrous old princess, she is a masterpiece.

But such Milan was rare, and he gave the words of the lion king Schburn a mixed look of confusion and wolf.

"Is this marriage!? Who, with whom?

"Don't you even remember the dialogue I said earlier? Marriage between you and Serene."

It seemed interesting that Milan, who usually had a clear look, showed a year-to-year response, and Schburn grinned bitterly with feelings such as a shuddering half funny half.

"But I'm still immature, and marriage..."

"You're already twenty, too. It's about time you thought about solidification. How about the first prince of Helifarte, the great power, fluttering forever?"

Schburn squeezed his expression and looked straight at Milan.

Schburn, king of Helifarte, is still active. For the time being, Milan would remain a prince. But Schbahn is not so lazy as he is wearing that peace of mind.

Just because you're at peace today doesn't mean you're at peace tomorrow.

"As it stands, you don't have a wife. It is time to look seriously for a partner in order to make this country a more cornerstone. Naturally, I have to find someone to catch you, but then there will still be only Serene."

"But she's only ten, isn't she? Isn't that just too soon………………"

"That's not true. Because whether it's Helifarte or Archira, marriage starts at the age of fifteen. It won't be long after five years of confusion?

Ives, who was sitting next to Schburn, smiles and speaks to Milan, but as always, Milan is in limbo. The king and queen were heartily frightened when it was unusual to see their son so hastily.

"If Serene turns fifteen, you're twenty-five. I'm sure everyone in the country will bless you."

"That may be..."

A king you can count on and a merciful queen. And the marriage of the young and beautiful princes of the Holy Prince and the Moonlight. Princess Marie was seventeen by then, too. She is a fine lady. Young Junying, except for about one alien. It will exactly symbolize the rise and fall of Helifarte.

"Regardless of the imposition, I don't think it's a bad story for you to think about the national interest. Or what? If you don't like marrying Serene so much, should you treat her like someone else?

"I'm not saying no or anything!

Surprisingly loud himself, Milan turned all the way back to me and blushed.

The Schburns are watching as if they were half amused.

"Not right now. Because Serene is willing. But that child will surely be your lifelong partner. As I said before, I owe it to you to make her happier than you have welcomed her."

It is more likely to be a partner in disability than a lifelong partner.

"I want to see my grandson's face soon. Wow. But you can't push it too hard, can you? She's delicate, and she has a small body, so I need to be nice to her."

Serene is not delicate and is small with a triple magpie punch that is vulnerable to sunshine, lack of exercise, and bigotry, but is otherwise healthy. The most problematic would be intelligence.

"Mother...... maybe you haven't enjoyed it?

"Just kidding. But that's gonna happen in the future, isn't it? But for that, I have a condition to clear."

Ives, who laughed until earlier, turns to the truth. The expression is filled with majesty like a queen.

Milan also feels the air pinching, stretching his spine and tightening his expression.

"Now, it's a serious story from here. Ives is right, there are things that can really get in the way of you and Serene's marriage."

When Schburn says so, he removes the rounded parchment from the table he had placed beside the throne and spreads it to show it to Milan.

"That is……"

"Two years ago, it was your contract when you picked up Serene. It is a well-known fact that Serene is the second princess of Archira, but the problem lies ahead."

"Ahead?

When Milan prompts Schburn to go ahead, the Lion King spins his words.

"If Serene turns fifteen, there's nothing legally wrong with her marriage to you. The people will rejoice greatly, and everyone will bless you. Except for one."

"…… Queen of Arquila. You mean Serene's mother."

Schburn nodded deeply as Milan made a statement that crept away Schburn's intentions.

"Exactly. Two years ago, when Serene revealed her talent as Princess Moonlight, Arquila sent a messenger. You'll remember me and you getting rid of him then. If I returned Serene at that point, I would have been used only by the powerful and at risk of being turned into a caged bird again."

More than that, I didn't like the attitude of giving it back because Serene had value for use, but Schburn and Milan did everything in their power to protect Serene.

By the way, Serene's reaction when she heard about it was that she thought Arquila had picked her up to go home with Ale, but Milan chased her back, Conoyalo. Ignorance is sin.

"But as for me and Ives, I still want to have a friendly relationship with Archira. I want Arquila to be an ally, not a country. No, let's get this straight. I want to make Serene happy."

Ives also opens his mouth, as follows Schburn's words.

"I really felt sorry for that kid so far in his life. Since I was a little girl, I've been pushed into a dark room, and when I thought I finally got out, there would have been a curse about just being in Helifarte for a little while, wouldn't there?

"……… Yes"

To Ives' words, Milan held his fist strong.

Milan was only helped (as a result) by Serene, who could not always do anything at the heart of the matter.

The matter is still thorned and stabbed in the back of Milan's mind.

"That's why I want Serene to be so happy. It may be difficult, but the Queen of Arquila...... I want Serene's mother and Serene to make up for it. Though we think we're close to family, we're not Selene's real mother or father."

"That's understandable"

Milan grew up rarely and almost unrelated to the struggle for power for the royalty.

Because Schburn didn't have a side room, he only loved his beloved wife, Ives, and he had the character to take care of his family.

It is also beneficial to Serene in that Marie has become a little selfish after too much family love, but she has dissolved it.

"Simply put, I want you to be a messenger of peace to Archira. Two years later, if Serene is now famous all over the continent, the rest of them will be on the lookout."

The concern of the hindsight (this) could be eliminated. Later, I want to reconcile Serene with Serene's mother.

That was Schburn and Ives...... no, it was the wish of all those concerning Serene, including Milan.

When Serene is recognized by the Queen of Archira and her marriage to Milan is recognized, Serene is loved by the world in the true sense, and blessings come to Helifarte and Archira alike. That's what everyone, including Schburn, thought. If that happens, only one miserable person is Serene.

"I understand how your father and mother feel. I don't know how far I can go, and I want Serene to know the love of her mother, even if it doesn't matter about marriage. I'll be ready to head to Arquila as soon as possible."

"Wait, wait. This time, it's not a cursed, shaped enemy. It's a matter of mother's and daughter's emotions. It's not easy for you to break in and stop."

Schbahn called out with a bitter smile to Milan, who returned his heel (bite) and was about to pop out of the royal family.

"You're really going to be a pig rush when it comes to Serene. Totally, the same thing happened with White Forest, but it hasn't changed much in two years."

"But a moment sooner than appointed as a messenger of peace……"

"Calm down. I'm honestly anxious for you alone. In the first place, we wouldn't have much detailed information against the Queen of Archira. So I'll add a few assistants."

"Assistants?"

As Milan tilted his neck, the sound of knocking on the royal door almost simultaneously sounded.

"I just asked you to arrive a long time ago."

When Schburn allows entry, the guard opens the door and encourages visitors to enter.

It was Alye, dressed in a light peach dress, who was invited into the royal family.

"I'm sorry I'm late. Master Schburn."

"No, I'm sorry to call you so suddenly. This is the one I'm asking you for advice on, so please make it easier."

"No! Serene's... I really don't know what to thank you for caring so much about my sister... I'll tell you anything I can do."

Despite being told to relax, Alye knelt down in front of Schburn, still in her dress.

It is Alye, the fruit sister of Serene, who is in the closest relationship and has information with the Queen of Arquila. So this is how Schburn summoned Alye.

Thus began the ironic time, by Ale, where Serene wants to marry the most, to proceed with the measure of the marriage of Milan, where Serene wants to marry the least.
