Marielle Clarac's Engagement 003.3

 

part 3

 

 

It seems like she won’t do the terrible things I imagined. Can I be relieved for the time being? However with Aurelisama’s scheme it’s plenty of a troublesome matter.

I want to see the inside of the brothel. But more than curiosity I should give priority to the safety of my body.

Am I able to escape? I secretly looked around my surroundings. Thereupon, a group that was approaching entered my eyes.

They are commoner men. Are they drunk already? They are coming while laughing and shouting in loud voices. They noticed us immediately and began to pay attention to us. Right, no matter how high-class the shop is, a flashy man and woman that are talking in front of this shop is bound to attract people’s eyes

 

‘’I say, who's this princess over there? Isn’t she quite the beauty?’’

‘’As expected from this country’s Turan Tours, even the woman that seem to pull customers in is also this good looking?’’

‘’Accompany me instead of such a bocchan. I’ll be a good customer’’

 

The involved person was naturally Aurelisama. In the meantime, her attendant was also made a pass on however, the men’s awareness didn’t turn towards me.

‘’Hey, who are you guys! So filthy, don’t touch me!’’

Aurelisama screamed and twisted her body, escaping from the hands of the men that were unrestrainedly touching her. Before that Jacob-sama stood to protect her.

 

“Back away, you group of low-born! She’s not a person that the likes of you can touch!”

It was a truly admirable figure with resolve. Like the hero of a story, he protected Aurelisama with a tense expression, however.

“Shut u-p”

 

With a single heartless word and the swing of an arm, Jacob-sama was blown off too quickly. On the stone paved road that he was thrown to, he moaned and couldn’t stand up.

Ah…..reality is a sad thing. Love and courage alone can't solve it ne.

 

The coachman that tried to help his ojou-sama was also beaten and sank down on the floor.

Aurelisama raised a high-pitched scream. Embraced by those men, it looked like she was going to forcibly get dragged by them.

“No! Stop! Mou, why did it turn out like this!?”

Why, you say. Well, if you come to this kind of place at such a time, it’s obvious that it will turn out like this.

Even if you’re not nobles, young girls shouldn't step into the pleasure district. It’s common sense.

I’m supposed to be a young girls too but, these men truly hasn’t noticed my existence. I wonder if they couldn’t see me because I blended too well with the carriage.

 

“You there! What are you doing!”

Just when I thought of going to ask for help without being noticed, a person came to help. At that sharp voice, several men came running. The men that were taking Aurelisama away leaped on them.

Ara…..those people, though they are in unconspicuous and common attire, they are soldiers.

With well-trained movement that you wouldn’t see in amateurs, they repelled the drunkards in the blink of an eye. Aurelisama that escaped the crisis become teary-eyed.

‘’Are you injured? I assume you are the young miss from the Cavagnac family but, in this kind of place what……’’

‘’I, I don’t know! I was just passing by!’’

Startled, Aurelisama shrinked back. To be exposed here is a development outside my expectations. She realized that the plan which she set up for me, now it had backfired to herself. In a panic she turned her body.

Aurelisama and her attendant jumped in the carriage, and the coachman that somehow got up hastily returned to the horse and took the whip. They were leaving behind the dumbfounded people that saw them off. The carriage started to run at once.

 

‘’Ahh, Aurelisama! Please wait my rose!’’

The resurrected Jacob-sama raised a shout that was still inclining to a drama, leaving behind a sloopy figure that received a blow. Noticing the surroundings eyes, he also went towards his carriage with haste. Still, there’s no coachman. As I was wondering what he was searching, thoroughly scared by the uproar from a while ago he concealed himself in a place hidden from view.

‘’What are you doing! Get on quickly!’’

…..That coachman, when his young master was attacked, he even went to hide himself without giving any assistance. Would he be fired, I wonder? And then the second carriage run away, leaving only me behind.

Aurelisama…….you’re so cruel to forget about me. If you are a villain, shouldn’t you take responsibility ‘till the end.

 

Since it couldn’t be helped, I started walking towards the place where I could find a horse-drawn carriage. However the man that helped us properly noticed my existence, and I was stopped immediately.

 

‘’Please, come this way’’

I was prompted by his awfully polite gesture. When I saw it I wondered when it came, there was a carriage parked in a place a little bit farther from here.

“Ano?”

 

“Worry not. Our master, will protect you”

The soldier that pretended to be an ordinary person told me and lead me to the carriage. Who will come out this time? I tilted my head while following him. Looking at the figure of the other person that was inside the open door made my eyes go round.

“It’s not good to be seen in this kind of place. Quickly get on”

Commanded by a slightly strict voice - and also urged from behind - I entered the carriage. When I hesitated on what to do next, I was told to sit. Timidly, I sat down in the opposite seat.

Haa, I breathed out still feeling shocked.

“ Really, I didn’t expect to see your face at such a place. Just what on earth were you doing. Give me an explanation”

With his black hair and black eyes. Someone who had different charm compared to Simon-sama. With an intrepid beauty he could be proud of, he was glaring at me. To my surprise, I ended up replying back.

 “Me too, I didn't thought of meeting you in town. For His Highness to go in this kind if place, as expected, is your goal Turan Tour!? The rumors that even Royalty go back and forth from here was true after all! And so, who is the woman entertainer you’re intimate with!?”

“Why is your first words is about that! What are you asking with those sparkling eyes!?”

His Highness Sevran who rebuked instantly was also in a really different outfit than usual.

As one would expect, of course it’s not as far as a common person’s outfit, but it’s approximately a middle-class noblemen plain get-up. Since he went out in cognito, I understood at a glance. But Your Highness, is it okay if I get in too? No matter how much you change your outfit, the good looks and majestic side of yourself is too violently emphasized so it’s totally meaningless.

He couldn’t even expect to have any effect with only the degree of being inconspicuous from a far distance.

 

“I’m truly sorry, my curiosity unintentionally run out of control"

“.....Honestly it exceeded that, but fine”

When I hurriedly apologized, His Highness cleared his throat with a kohon and restored his expression.

“ I don’t have the time to be carefree, so let me throughly hear the story at a later time. Like this, stay silent and come. Don’t unnecessarily talk or take action on your own, and stay quiet”

“Yes.”

 

There’s no way I’ll go against His Highness the Crown Prince’s words. I meekly nodded. After that, I stayed silent like an ornament. The carriage run for just a little while and immediately stopped. His Highness urged me to descend. We were in front of the entrance way of Turan Tours.

That…...flower garden that I was longing for is in front of my eyes. I could hear lovely music leaking from the inside. It smells nice too. With the entrance that looked akin to the house of a noble, there wasn’t an ambiance with unrefined hustle and crowds of people. The butler that was proper and elegant came to greet us.

 

“What are you being moved at in the entrance. Quickly come.”

His Highness that was walking ahead looked over his shoulder and called out to me. It’s okay to enter, right!? It’s okay, right!?

When I softly stepped into the red carpet that spread in the marble corridor, the sound of my footsteps were sucked in. While my heart was throbbing, I walked behind His Highness. Where are the beautiful onee-sans!?

 

Like this we didn’t come across anyone, and we advanced further. This place’s door opened up to us as soon as we come in, the person guided us opened the door on the right. On the left you could overhear musics and laughers; and in contrast, it was quiet over there. We walked in a corridor where there was no one passing by. We climbed the stairs and headed to the third floor of the building.

 

“This way please. Your companion has arrived some time ago”

Said the person who was leading us to the front of a room deep in the back. This situation, is it a secret date!? I heard that there are inns which also offer this kind of place but, I am surprised that a shop of the level of Turan Tour employs this kind of thing. After all, this place is overflowing with a mountain of beautiful charming entertainers. If you especially use such a place, won’t the men’s eyes move on other people?

 

While I was attacked in succession by deep emotions and tossed around by waves of surprises, I followed His Highness into entering the inside of the room. Like I imagined, it was luxuriously decorated. The person who sat in a chair below the sparkling chandelier stood up, and bowed to His Highness.

“I wonder if I made you wait. I had to pick up a little thing on the way. I apologize”

“No, not really. It was me who arrived earlier than the appointed time. Is she the thing you said you had to pick up? It’s quite the lovely thing which dropped”

The eyes of the person that answered jokingly turned towards me. I had recollection of his austere composure and well-arranged face.

 

“Good evening, Miss Marielle. We meet again in an unexpected place”

“Gokigen’yo, ambassador Van Rail. You must be His Highness’『Companion』right”

The person that was inside the room waiting for His Highness was, Fissel’s new ambassador. How come, it wasn’t a date with a beautiful onee-san but it was one with a cool ojii-san! This is a development that I didn’t expect! But it may be an alibi. There are also young beautiful man x beautiful middle-aged man coupling variety in royal roads, right!

 

Certainly if it’s like this, there’s no need to worry about the other person’s inability to choose. If I was a woman not subject of the occasion, what would’ve I done with this loveliness.

“.....Somehow, I feel like I am being misunderstood”

 

His Highness glared at me with a displeased looking face. Ara, has my expression leaked my thought?
