When I opened the wooden door and entered the guest room, a clear voice came from ahead.
“Oh, Britney and Ricardo are really in Earl Hakasu's family. Congratulations on your engagement!”
The first person came into my sight was Prince Emirya with red hair.
“Thank you, your highness Emirya.”
Behind hims strong body was Princess Angela who dressed in outdoor apparel and stood up in a graceful manner.
Without a moment of hesitation, Angela walked up to me and held my hand gently.
“Britney, we finally reunite again.”
“Princess Angela, you look great. It seems that you live in harmony with Prince Emirya…”
“W-What? That, that's not the case.”
Her face turning red as an apple, Angela tried to deny what I said. Next to her, as if Emirya had already been used to her performance, then he just smiled quietly.
“Just as what you see, my partner is not frank. If there is any way to know the real thought of my favorite girl, I'll ask Ricardo for more advice.”
After hearing Emirya's words, Angela's face turned redder and redder.
In the view of others, their relationship was really good.
“Compared to it, I have something more important to talk with Britney. It's also related to Ricardo, so you can stay here and listen to it together.”
Ricardo and I sat on the bench opposite Angela and Emirya.
Angela opened her mouth after she calmed down.
“The purpose why I pay a visit to Earl Hakusu's territory was mainly due to the responsibility as an emissary. It's a sensitive issue, so I have to visit in person to avoid unnecessary ramifications.”
It was rare for Princess Angela to leave the capital city, so it would be difficult for her to get used to it. However, looking at her serious expression, I could feel her strong will to accomplish the mission as an emissary from the Royal family.
“A sensitive issue?”
“Yes, it's an issue of bother Marlow's concubine.”
Angela pointed at me with her fan and came straight to the point. This sentence was enough for me to understand the aim of her visit.
Angela and Emirya were emissaries from the Royal family whom my father had mentioned before.
(But is it not a good chance? After all, Princess Angela knew the relationship between Ricardo and me.)
If I pleased her to help, Angela would definitely support me.
Angela's eyes were covered down with her eyelashes. Then she continued the words in a calm tone.
“Britney, you're one of the main figures in this issue. Have you known the engagement with my brother?”
“Y-Yes.”
“In the past, I've asked for your opinion on it several times, but you refused it every time. If Britney could stay in the capital city, I would be happy every day. So I think it would be possible.”
“I cannot do it. For me, it's a heavy burden.”
“Come on, in the eyes of most nobles, brother Marlow's wife should come from a noble family with a higher rank, rather than Earl Hakusu's family. As for his concubine…”
“No, the concubine is also a little bit…”
“If it were you, I believe that you would be excellent in public. Forget it, in fact, I don't agree to accept the issue, too.”
“That's it. Even if I married Prince Marlow, there would be no benefit. So, this time, my father seemed to have said something unnecessary to the Royal family. If you could ignore his words, then it would be very helpful.”
As I speaking, Angela gave out a soft sigh and put the fan on her lap.
“Actually, I've expected you would say so. Moreover, if you became a concubine of my brother, then that parasite will also intangle with you tightly. For the sake of the country, I couldn't also agree with it.”
“Parasite?”
“It is Britney's father who provoked the situation. I'm worried about you this time, so I accepted the mission and pay a visit here.”
“Thank you very much, Princess Angela.”
“My brother said, 'I don't want to do something that would cause Britney's hatred.' Since you have got engagement with Ricardo, he doesn't want to force you to be his concubine. It is also against his will.”
“Ah, I know.”
My heart was full of apologies for Marlow.
In order to avoid such a scandal, Angela knew the situation and took action.
“I'm sorry, Princess Angela.”
“Don't worry! In fact, I planned to move here.”
“Huh? To move here?”
“It has not been made public, but Astor's territory has been handed over to us.”
“Well, that is to say, will the prince of the South Country, Emirya also come here bordering on the North Country?”
There was already a good price in the capital city, so Emirya and Angela acquired Astor's territory and served as Marlow's ministers.
That place was a part of Earl Astor's territory. It was flagrantly… the purpose was probably to pin down the eastern territory of the Central country.
“Then it will be easier to communicate with Earl Hakuau's territory. I'm very delighted.”
As if Angela went into raptures and gave me a bright smile.
