Chapter 78.2

Speaking of which, the princess in silk dress is no longer hiding her glossy strawberry blonde hair under a hood.

This is a sign that she has decided not to hide her pointed ears, which are a sign of being an elf.

「Takeru-sama doesn’t like too much formality and is reluctant to be a king. That’s the reason why you don’t want to get married.」

「Y-you can say that.」

I can’t really put it into words. I don’t exactly know how I feel and why I’m reluctant to marry the princess.

In addition to the fact that managing Ambazac territory alone is already quite a challenge. Managing the vast royal domain in addition to the Ambazac Barony seems to be too much of a burden.

And I’m not the type who’s suited for wearing glamorous crown while warming my ass on a magnificent throne.

「If that is the case, this princess will be the queen. I decided to prepare while you were away. I’ve always thought that Takeru-sama will be the ruler while this princess will just be there under the shade. However, if this princess can be used as a decoration for the castle, this princess will do it.」

「Thank you for that. 」

I don’t think I have any right to interfere with Princess Silhouette’s determination.

It’s a bold move but the princess considered doing it because of my reluctance. I was hoping that she would regain her confidence. I’m sure she’ll make a fine queen.

「The way I look doesn’t matter anymore. If we can stay together forever, this princess will do what she can. That’s all that matters to me. 」

「Yes, of course, that’s…. 」

The princess wrapped me with her small hands as she hugged me. I’m sure she doesn’t have to say more even in public.

The relationship between me and the princess has already become public knowledge.

In fact, it’s gotten to the point where I can no longer escape.

However, that doesn’t mean that we should get married immediately.

「And even if this princess is not fit to be queen, we can just let our children to take over, right, Takeru-sama? 」

「Yeah…. 」

I was too scared to ask her when did she decide to have a child with me.

The moat is being filled slowly but surely.

「Everything else will be up to Takeru-sama. Either way, even if this princess becomes the queen, it is impossible for me to do anything without the hero’s backing. 」

I think that it’s very good that Princess Silhouette decided to become the queen on her own volition.

Princess Caroline on the side said “As expected of Princess Silhouette.” while being impressed.

You better not imitate Princess Silhouette.

「At last, you seem to have made up your mind. 」

Lyle-sensei seemed to be very happy as she heard about my conversation with the princess a little while ago.

It’s not me who has made up his mind though, it’s Princess Silhouette.

「Right, about the perfume I gave them, sensei has her share too. 」

「What mine….no, I’ll take it. 」

Even sensei likes to stay clean so she wouldn’t hate perfume. She’s the type of person who’ll use what you’ve gifted her till the last drop.

Come to think of it, sensei’s brown hair is also a little longer.

「But I haven’t decided to get married yet. 」

「The first thing you must do is to repel the empire’s intervention with your strength. After that, we will be able to silence the local nobles who have been nagging us about your marriage and accession to the throne. 」

Are you even listening, sensei?

Ah, it can’t be helped.

「Then, are you going to fulfill your promise, sensei? 」

「Eh? What are you talking about? 」

Sensei’s complexion changed and even her voice turned muddy. She hasn’t forgotten.

At the end of Gale’s coup d’etat, I talked with sensei while riding a carriage to the royal capital.

The reason why his father, Prime Minister Nicola, scorned her as “half breed” and her strong hatred for advance mages.

Everything is due to Lyle-sensei’s past.

「You promised to marry me if I give you Silesie Kingdom. 」

「No, that’s not what I….maa, either way, it’s the same thing. Fine. This is a terribly boring topic but when the time comes, I’ll teach you shame. 」

We are talking about Lyle-sensei.

For me, even if I exchange Silesie Kingdom for her, it’s worth it.

For that reason, you can say I’m motivated or at least thinking of doing my best.
