Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 161

I looked down and walked slowly through the long corridor. Because of my father's words, I got pretty confused.

Again, I was aware of the gratitude for my guardians, my grandfather and Ryuze who had been taking good care of me so far.

To that extent, what my father threw at me was unforgivable. When he looked at his daughter, he considered me as an object.

A convenient tool. In my father's eyes, I was just a tool for his own fortune.

“Britney!”

Suddenly, someone called out my name. The voice that came from directly ahead scared me to death. As I raised my head, I knocked into Ricardo and found him looking at me with a worried expression.   

“What's wrong? You're not yourself today.”

“No-nothing.”

If I tell Ricardo the truth, I couldn't hold back my engagement with Marlow.

(Now, Ricardo is working hard in Earl Hakasu's territory, so I don't want to increase his burden.)

However, if things continued like this, then there would be no way out.

For me, there was no right to refuse to be a concubine of Prince Marlow. This was an issue where even the daughter of a noble family couldn't escape and change.

“Your expression betray you. Because we've been staying together all the time, I can read Britney's expression.

As speaking, Ricardo pulled me closer and took my cheeks in his hands. Then I couldn't look away from the intensity of his stare.

“Ricardo, are you a little tough?”

“Britney, you don't tell me the truth. Couldn't you depend on me?”

“Of course not, just…”

“Hmm?”

When I hesitated to tell the truth, Ricardo's face came closer.

Stared by his beautiful green eyes, my heart beat faster and felt a subtle pressure.

“That, that…”

“What?”

“My father messed things up again.”

I didn't know why I chose the honorific Japanese in the face of Ricardo! His coercion reminded me of someone else.

Ricardo urged to continue my words, so I gave up and told him what had happened on earth.

“My father wants me to be a concubine of Prince Marlow. Moreover, it seems that he has contacted the Royal family without our agreement. Then, an emissary will come to confirm it.”

“Then I see. Ah, so…”

It seemed that he had figured out more I didn't know.

“Well, what's wrong?”

Ricardo gave me a kiss by surprise when I felt a little confused. It made a strange sound “ʘ”.

After a while, after his lips left, he patted gently on my back and comforted me.

“Don't worry. I won't give Britney to anyone because it is not easy to be allowed to get married to you.”

“But…”

“It's all right. I won't give up and it's not the first time that our engagement has become hopeless.”

Listening to his words, I also got over it.

“Then at that time, I will struggle for it.”

“Well, work together. But I think there is no problem. Who is the emissary?”

When he was about to explain it to me, the maid Maria came across the corridor.

“Miss Britney, there are guests!”

“Huh? My guests? But I haven't contracted with others recently.”

“They said, they want a secret meeting.”

“I see. Who are they?”

“That's… a princess!”

After Maria answered, I was greatly shocked. I didn't expect that a princess would come to such a rural place. Generally speaking, it was impossible for a princess to do so.

“Ah, a princess? Which princess?”

“It's Princess Angela. Lord Emirya also comes with her. I have led them to the guest room.”

“Her Highness Angela! I see, then I'll be right there soon!”

I hurried to check my attire and went to Angela, together with Ricardo.

Um, then what would happen next? Force Britney to marry Prince Marlow? Join our discord and share your opinions on this chapter.
