Chapter 130: Tug of War

This chapter is brought by Lady Grey and Neko. If you read this on other websites, it means it was stolen. Read the translation only on itsladygrey.wordpress.com.

Society without the crown prince and empress was peaceful. In addition to that, my social life was more comfortable since Livya was on my side.

“Are you not engaged?”

“Engaged?”

I looked at Livya blankly, then sighed with a realization. 

“Right, there is usually an engagement…”

I haven't thought about it because it was not a very familiar concept to me. 

“I guess I have to think about it…?”

However, I was doubtful whether Sigren also had an engagement or marriage in his mind. This was something we never talked about, and he never mentioned it. 

Livya murmured. “Lady Fiona is always relaxed in many ways.”

I chuckled awkwardly. Rather than relaxed, I just didn't think about that because not too long ago, I was considering whether I would break up with him. 

“There's nothing urgent.”

Well, my consideration was Abel hadn't come to the capital. He was the father who set a curfew banning people from visiting Heilon mansion after 8 pm. So, if suddenly I announced 'we're getting engaged!', I couldn't imagine what kind of reaction would come out. 

However, what was funny was that Sigren actually followed the curfew. He was a prince, he could do whatever he wanted. If he decided to come after 8 pm, no one in the mansion would be able to control him. But he faithfully followed the rules. I actually wondered whether he did that because he listened to Abel. Thinking about these two men, I couldn't help but smile. I personally thought their relationship was a bit funny. 

If Sigren married me, then Abel would be his father-in-law? Wait… I think I should ask Sigren first if he would be okay with this fact.

Anyway, the conversation with Livya gave me a new problem in many ways. I was still thinking about it even when I came to the mansion. 

It seemed this was an important issue, especially since we have confirmed each other's true feelings.

But how the hell was the engagement supposed to be? I've never done it, so I really couldn't get a feel for it. 

“How did you get engaged?” I asked while stamping Isaac's vacation papers.

Isaac politely accepted the papers but he looked distraught. 

This man would meet his wife, but what was up with that expression? 

“Pardon me Miss, but why are you suddenly interested in an engagement…”

“I just thought I should think about it.”

“Did His Highness propose?”

“No.”

Hmm… propose, wasn't that too big of a hope?

Isaac made a relieved face. 

“Then just wait.”

“Is that okay?”

I remembered that Isaac was Abel's subordinate. They were in cahoots, weren't they?

“Yeah, he would and should propose to you, Miss.”

“If he wouldn't?”

“Well, considering Miss' personality, I think that person must have been preparing to hold onto you tighter Miss.”

Well, that was a problem. Considering what happened last time, I was not sure if he would do that. Rather, it was very likely that it was me who had to hold onto him. 

Isaac then said calmly. “I think, for a lady who could not stay still, he is the perfect match for you Miss.”

“Is that what you think of me?”

“Miss, it is you who has been in Heilon for years and left without even looking back.”

“Wait, is everyone still upset about that?”

“Ah.. Definitely, Miss. Of course, because we are all adults, we don't make it obvious.”

Isaac squinted his eyes.

“But, be honest Miss, if you were not in a relationship with His Highness, you had no intentions of staying here, did you?”

“I guess so?”

“See? Miss, I am right, aren't I? As expected, being in a relationship is truly the only appropriate move that Prince Sigren could do to hold on to you tightly.”

Isaac calmly added.

“Well, this is good. We feel relieved that the person who loves you that much becomes your spouse Miss.”

Wait a second, I'm a bit confused. Then, do I only have to do my job well?

Isaac shrugged. 

“Though, honestly Miss, for someone at your level, it is normal to change partners more than once. So Miss, don't worry about it.”

Ah, I think I've heard this from Livya too. 

I nodded and pushed Isaac on his back.

“Okay, thank you for the answer. Now, go back to your wife.”

Isaac waved his vacation papers.

“Miss is really the best.”

“You're saying the obvious. So, you're going to keep what happened that time as a secret from Abel, right?”

Isaac grinned.

“Miss, there is no way I could conceal that from Master.”

“Give that back.”

“Farewell Miss.”

Isaac left my office in a flash. 

I clicked my tongue lightly. 

Just like that, Abel's nagging bomb was confirmed. Apparently, the bribe called vacation didn't work. 

What a bummer.
