Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 150

Even though many things had happened over the past year, but the castle welcomed a new spring.

Despite the turbulent situation caused by the great nobles' rebellion and other events, the castle had restored quiet and peaceful.

I—Angela also strode forward and learned how to perform my duty as a princess of this country.

“Ahh, I miss Britney and Nora.”

Standing by the window in an empty room of the castle, I looked up into the northern sky.

I gave a soft sigh, then one maid moved quickly and brought me some herbal tea, which was helpful to relax the mood.

All of these herbs used to brew teas were cultivated by my brother, Prince Marlow.

When he presented me some precious herbs, I felt very happy.

However, something against my heart always slipped from my mouth, for example, “Is it again? I've tired of herbal teas.”

(Why would I say that?)

Due to my strong self-esteem, I bluffed unconsciously in front of them.

While both Marlow and Emirya saw through my disguise, so they cast a gentle look at me.

At the moment, my behavior seemed a little childish, so it made me extremely embarrassed.

Especially when I spend time with Emirya, that feeling always attacked me.

Even though elder Eymirya always comforted me with a calm expression, I was unwilling to see that.

(Alas, it's not good to be impatient because of events happened one after another. It's unqualified to be a good princess.)

As the first princess, I had to set a good example for my sister.

Sitting on the bench, I picked up my cup and took a sip of herbal tea. A soft fragrance of flowers permeated in my mouth.

“This is?” She murmured.

When the maid beside her was going to reply, another voice came behind me, “It's lavender.”

“It's a herbal tea, used to relax the mind. Lavender is known as the Vanilla Queen. It's also effective for headaches and colds. I heard you always feel anxious recently. Your highness Marlow, that's really a good choice.”

“Ah! Lord Emirya.”

I turned back and found a handsome young man, with long red hair and beige eyes.

“I remember, you've been saying that it isn't good to walk into my room casually.”

“I haven't stepped into Angela's private room. Here is an empty room where everyone is admitted to enter.”

“Obviously, I'm using it.”

“Yes, that's why I came in.”

“…”

Of course, I was an eloquent person—I think—but I didn't think I was able to win this argument.

Emirya always managed to make me speechless.

(I cannot reconcile myself to the failure! One day, I will make him speechless!)

Thinking about how to fight back against my betrothal, I urged him to take a seat opposite.

Apparently, it wasn't polite to let one prince stand alone.

However, Emirya didn't take a seat across the table, but he sat next to me.

It was not such a long bench as others, so we had to sit shoulder-to-shoulder.

(Ah, I'm really a fool! Why would I choose a sleeveless dress today?)

It was early spring, a cool season. So there were still many fireplaces in the room.

Then, it was warm indoors, so I took off my coat before.

Because I had never expected Emirya would come here.

(What should I do? It's so despicable!)

I kept silent when pondering about its solution in my mind. On the other side, I continued to enjoy tea.

(Huh, it will calm me down.)

That performance was far from the “perfect princess” in my imagination.

“So it is. Angela, you like herbal tea.”

Beside me, Emirya spoke with a smile, but I denied it reflexively as usual.

“How, how could I like it? I don't like it!”

“All right, there are many good herbs in the South Country. Next time, I would bring some for you.”

“I, I said—!”

“How about Rooibos tea? My brother is promoting it. It can remove aging substance in the body, so it's beneficial for health and skin. Moreover, it has the effect to insulate against the cold.”

“Do you think I'm old?”

“Of course not, what worries me is…”

Emirya held my hands as he spoke.

“Look, your fingers feel cold. Even if there are some fireplaces in this room, it's still a little cold. So please try not to dress this way.”

He tipped the maid a wink, then she brought me the coat I had taken off before.

Then Emirya draped it over my shoulders gently.

A complete failure.

I had been defeated many times, while up to now, I didn't remember those things I had lost. In the depth of my heart, I thought I wasn't able to win him anyway.

“It's too exaggerated.”

“No. I hope my wife healthy all the time. Is it natural?”

“Wife?”

“Since we have been formally engaged, then this good news will spread all over the country soon.”

“Hmm!”

I blushed with embarrassment, my heart beating faster. “Don't say that!” I wanted to refute him so, but my mouth moved like that of a goldfish and I couldn't say anything important.

Emirya, who smiled at me, was really a hateful person.

Just as he said, our engagement was around the corner.

Probably, this summer, all the people over the country would know our engagement. Then, our wedding ceremony would follow closely.

In order to dispel the haze caused by the great nobles' rebellion last year, this pleasant news could inspire all citizens.

Although I wasn't relieved, this was also one responsibility of the princess.

In order to improve the impression of the Royal family, I would work harder.

(Britney and Nora should also strive for their ideals. I won't lose anyway! To sum up…)

First of all, what should I do to handle this man in front of me? I felt greatly troubled as I continued a cup of herbal tea.
