Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 142

According to plan, Crown Prince and I (Ricardo) left the capital city for our destination.

Due to the bounty of nature, the territory of that powerful nobleman, which was located on the east of the capital city, had a moderate climate and fertile land. So it was a vast territory with abundant resources, comparable to Earl Astars' territory.

Even though winter was coming, the real cold wave hadn't attacked yet.

(We wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible, but…)

Just as our expectations, as soon as we stepped into his territory, we were blocked by the private soldiers and mercenaries who were employed by that powerful nobleman. The other side obstructed us with their full effort, while we also adopt corresponding measures to deal with them.

Despite being hindered, we still managed to set foot on the nobleman's residence.

“By the way, Prince Marlow, what did you want to tell Britney when we left the castle?”

As Ryuze and Marlow advanced side by side, Ryuze asked him with a smile.

(I was also extremely curious about the words he wanted to tell Britney.)

I silently approached them as if nothing had happened.

The Crown Prince was accompanied by many bodyguards. Ryuze and I were also arranged close to him.

“Ahhh, that…”

Marlow's speech became slurred, looking at Ryuze with an embarrassed expression.

“Um… I get it.”

Then it seemed that Ryuze had understood the words he didn't speak out, while I didn't know it at all.

Ryuze stared at Marlow with a dangerous sharpness of glance. I could feel a chill up my spine, and then I could not help but stay away from them a little.

This kind of expressions made me feel extremely dangerous. So far, I had never seen that side of him.

After all, Ryuze was my ideal. However, at the same time, he was also a perfect man I had to transcend.

(Compared to that superman whose nerves were constantly on edge, I would feel more at ease in the face of a humane person.)

However, I was afraid that it was Britney who changed him.

Just because of that, Ryuze hoped that his cousin, Britney could stay in Earl Hakusu's territory and engage with him.

“Hasn't I said that? I am not intended to send my cousin to the capital city. Now she is just dispatched there temporarily.”

“Well, but…”

“Prince Marlow, you should know your own situation, shouldn't you? In terms of your engagement, that is not the best choice. It would be more beneficial to this country if your engagement were the daughter of a great noble or a princess of another country.”

Hearing Ryuze's words, I wondered if I misunderstood these words.

(Ahhh, did Prince Marlow also fall in love with Britney?)

After being refuted, the Crown Prince looked away from the intensity of Ryuze's stare.

It seemed that my guess was right.

If Marlow also wanted to get engaged with Britney, then the situation between Britney and I would become more serious.

Moreover, Ryuze didn't convey his own feelings to that.

(But it was better not to rush to conclusions.)

Nevertheless, it seemed that Britney had an inexplicable attractiveness to the opposite sex, even when she was just walking. It was too dangerous.

As we marched forward, I tried to suppress the mixed feelings. When the destination appeared in our sights, all the people stopped.

The residence of the great nobleman was shrouded with an atmosphere that was more serious than ever.

In front of the powerful nobleman's residence, there were many armed private soldiers to meet our challenge.

“Though I don't want to show the enemy any mercy, we'd better take action depending on the situation. “

Prince Marlow said that with an expression of disgust. Even if our team consisted of highly skilled soldiers, he tried to avoid armed conflicts as much as possible.

The great nobles fought to kill some members of the royal family, which was not pleasant news to this country.

Prince Marlow greeted the nobleman's messenger and asked him to accept the talks, but there was no reply. The nobleman didn't even show up, staying in his mansion.

What we only got was a disrespectful treatment. It was too rude.

“There is no way. Ryuze, Ricardo… I can't move here, so…”

“Yes, please leave it to us.”

Ryuze and I were given the mission to bring the nobleman out. We headed for the residence, followed by several soldiers.

(From now, It was time to take it seriously. Don't be careless!)

The enemy led the way to the nobleman's room. When we arrived at the room, we were greeted with a disgusted look by the nobleman who sank his huge body into a chair. I guessed that it must be hard for him to get up from his chair.

The man with the greasy face and long beard told Ryuze and me to return quickly.

“Why do you still stay here? Are you stupid to wait for my answer?”

For one reason or another, a calm expression appeared on his face, and then he laughed wickedly. The small eyes covered with his flesh became crescent-shaped.

“Such things weren't beyond my expectation. I've ordered my subordinates to sneak into the capital city. If you retreat now, I'll do nothing to them. But if you want to arrest me, I won't wring their necks. Let princess and your cousin pay for that.”

“What do you want to do to them?”

“There are lots of my friends in that castle. Moreover, I have sent out instructions.”

Although Ryuze said that with a sneer, maybe he was internally wavering and unsure.

The nobleman in front of us twiddled his beard, with his eyes squinting narrower.

“No matter what I did to them who have no value, it will matter very little to you. You should never leave the castle. Let's not talk about princess Merrill first. From the view of their figures, it must be very hard for Britney to escape.”

His words caused my protest and indignation, “Don't say that!”

When I regained my consciousness, I couldn't help speaking.

“You'd better not look down upon her. If you continue to insult her, you'll suffer for it!”

Britney tried her best to do everything and overcome crises again and again.

What's more, before we left the castle, she had become slightly slim with her great effort.

“Hha, the son of Earl Astars, it seems that you're interested in her. Fufu, that is to say… everyone has his own taste.”

“Whatever you say, she worked hard and grew up with me. So she is not a person who will be easily assassinated.”

In fact, it was just a lie that he didn't worry about Britney. Actually, he desired to accept the nobleman's request and go back immediately.

(But even if I followed his request, there was still no guarantee that they wouldn't hurt Britney. If so, it might lead to deterioration, even worse.

Now, the only thing they could do was trust Britney.

Ryuze, who also felt something inside, did not treat the nobleman as his enemy. He decided to execute their original plan.
