[What to do, Britney? It seems that she's looking for you.]
Nora lowly whispered so to me, but I decided to avoid it.
Anyway, I would receive a summon later.
[I'm going to greet His Highness Prince Marlow first. If I get caught by the princess, I may not get released.]
While saying such, I approached the person wearing frog mask to greet him.
As I thought, he's the crown prince.
Weaving my way between people, I got close to him with Nora.
When I came near the crown prince to give my greetings, Ricardo noticed me first. I was walking while talking with Nora, so perhaps he knew it from my voice.
[Britney and Miss Nora right?]
[Un. You're Ricardo are you not? Your squirrel mask is cute.]
[Don't say that… since the masks are distributed randomly, this is not my preference.]
While talking to Ricardo, Prince Marlow also reacted.
[Britney? You're really Britney! Long time no see, I wanted to meet you!]
[Yes, it's been a long time, Your Highness. You seem healthy as usual.]
[Aa, I'm glad you came! What do you think of the masks? I designed everything myself.]
[Truly, Your Highness has excellent taste in arts.]
I thought that the designing of the masks was skillful enough to make craftsmen embarrassed.
He seemed to see no point in talking about my figure.
[Today, even though it's a masked party, it's a carefree gathering held at noon. It's been explained that it's not particularly difficult and it's informal.]
[Your Highness, why do you choose the frog mask?]
[N, I think it's cute? I think that its round eyes are satisfactory workmanship.]
[…E, ee, that's true.]
[I think that Britney's mask is also charming. While Ricardo's mask resemble himself.]
Certainly, Ricardo was an upright and sweet person… though the person in question rejected that line of thought.
[Which, which part of me resemble a squirrel…!?]
[That right there, Ricardo. That is also your strength, you can be proud of it.]
Ricardo couldn't argue against the crown prince's words. His Highness the crown prince had a distinctive sensibility, but apart from that, he had a charm that naturally attraced people.
[That's right Britney. I heard from Ryuze that you're looking for a fiancé. I want to lend you my help even if it's not much. If you like, will you be my wife?]
While I felt resentment towards my loose-tongued cousin, a bomb was dropped by him.
Fortunately, the surrounding participants seemed to think that it's his usual joke, and he himself did not show any reaction in particular.
[To a countryside lady like me, the load is too heavy, gufufu.]
Here also, I replied with a joke.
(Eh, that's weird. Even though I lost weight, the way I laugh hasn't changed.)
Whether it was because of the power of the original manga or not, I couldn't laugh cutely like "ufufu".
[Hahaha, I thought that if it's someone excellent like Britney then there will be no problem. Maa, let's leave that story for later. I have a job of walking around the venue, so I'll leave you to Ricardo.]
The frog mask wearing crown prince, with his swaying light gold hair, easily left.
[Really, such a my own pace person.]
I agreed with Ricardo's impression. The crown prince Marlow's character was indeed quite peculiar.
[Ricardo, do you get along well with His Highness?]
[Aa. In the past, I was introduced through Ryuze, and we've been getting along since I came to the capital city.]
That felt like a highway towards becoming his follower.
Ricardo would play an active role in the capital city according to the original manga.
TN: Personally I ship Britney with the prince. She deserves to be the queen.
