Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 137 part2

“Not long ago, the Earl in the southern territory spoiled himself and ruined his health. If the Earl goes out to a battle, I am afraid that he couldn't prop himself during the war. It is the most important thing for him to return safely, better than anything else.”

Comparing to some persons from noble families like me, he knew much more information about the country.

Because I got nothing about Mr. Lucerne's health condition.

“In fact, I also expect to go to the south of this country. Princess Angela who is also the left-behind side has been worried. Even if her attitude toward the engagement is indifferent, it's normal for Princess Angela to worry about her fiance's safety. But to my surprise, her highness Angela should have a good relationship with Lord Emirya.”

I could not help but agree with what Prince Lucas said.

Princess Angela was someone I loved and respected very much, but her appearance was slightly inferior to that of her sister Merrill.

I thought, the situation would turn into that two princes competing for Princess Merrill.

But frankly speaking, Lord Emirya cared about Princess Angela very much. Although Princess Angela didn't tell the truth, actually she accepted him.

It was a pleasant thing but couldn't lift my spirits.

(Princess Angela had His Highness Emirya. Britney has Mr. Ricardo. Their engagements recognized them and loved them.)

But what should I do? I had neither Britney's pretty face nor Princess Angela's sophisticated behavior. The surrounding environment warped my disposition.

(I was the worst person I've ever met.)

His Highness Lucas continued and told me, inferior to others.

“Right, I heard some interesting rumors in the palace. Lord Marlow asked around for Miss g about Miss Britney's Britney's engagement, while Mr. Lucerne tried to stop him. Does he want to keep Miss Britney with him? Cousin-to-cousin marriages do exist over there.”

I felt as if a blow had struck my head.

(Mr. Lucerne, would he marry Britney? How did it happen?)

This might be a political marriage, too.

The two of them joined together and managed the territory well. After all, the development of Earl Hakusu's territory had been remarkable during the past decades.

(Instead of letting Britney marry somewhere else, it was better to keep her in his own territory. I could understand Mr. Lucerne's decision.)

Unlike me, Britney was needed by others around.

(It was OK. It was OK. I also had a good match.)

He, the son of one Marquis who held the territory of the southern part of the country, was a very steady man, many years older than me.

We had never met each other, let alone fall in love.

He was just interested in the products of our territory. It was just a marriage for personal interests.

There was only one daughter in my family, so only I could be his partner.)

He didn't give me a cold reception. My marriage partner, Mr. Willey, was a very nice person.

But his attitude towards me was not what I had been seeking for.

I wanted someone who loved me from the bottom of his heart, no matter who he was.

Looking at me, Prince Lucas blinked his dark eyes.

"Sorry, I said something strange."

"It doesn't matter."

Similar conversations had taken place before.

(Sigh!)

After I came back from Britney's family, I sighed unconsciously.

(What was I doing on earth?)

In front of my friends, I boasted about my engagement with Mr. Willey. Inside my heart was full of anxiety. Getting engaged or getting married to him, I could stay here for the time being. But I was not confident to get married smoothly.

As thing about it, I turned the corner of the corridor. A strange scene appeared in front of my eyes.

(Eh? That? What was Princess Merrill doing here?)

In the corner of the castle corridor, Merrill was peeping into a room, her eyes red and swollen.

This was a reception room that the nobles who was invited to the castle were allowed to use the room free.

(Eh? What on earth was this girl doing? Why was she weeping when peeping?)

She noticed me and then stared at me in an anxious manner.

"Nora, what should I do?"

"What?"

“I've witnessed the deal among some bad people.”

Seeing the frightened eyes of the Second Princess, I had to realize that I had been drew in something unpleasant.
