Chapter 291
“Nothing. In the meantime, Arel-nim has made some deals with people in the places where she often goes. It was just in case you need to find him urgently. I never thought I would use it at a time like this.”
“...Dia\'s skill is amazing when it\'s like this.”
Anyway, if you found it, that\'s it.
The girls asked the princess for permission to wait for a while, and immediately set out to bring Arel.
“anyway! I\'m going to make this wedding talk happen for Arel too! So, I want you guys to cooperate too. The controversy over the past will end here!”
“All right.”
“of course.”
“We will help you too.”
For the sake of Arell\'s wedding, he willingly agreed to cooperate with Pena\'s will.
I could guess why Pena was here.
It was obvious what to decorate.
“oh? The weather is very nice today.”
M ha
??????
Pena took a glance at the beautiful view outside and showed a smile like a flower.
A smile so graceful that even an ordinary man would never come to his senses.
Even a single gesture is full of elegance.
Of course, I\'m not an ordinary guy, so I don\'t blink an eye.
Embarrassing in front of a beautiful woman is for a novice.
Okay. I am an expert.
“Arel, what are you doing? Please sit down quickly. It is not a man\'s duty to make a woman wait.”
For now, I sat down as Penna recommended and watched her now.
From dresses to balm.
You came out very determined and dressed up.
It could not be anything other than an outfit filled with the sincerity of a young lady of a noble status.
If he had been an ordinary man, he would not have come to his senses even if he smelled the perfume.
Fortunately, I am not an ordinary guy.
I\'m glad I\'m a pro.
“Pena… what are you doing?”
“oh? Arel too? What are you doing, right? You must be ashamed. Whoop whoop.”
It\'s a shame.
It\'s embarrassing to hear that chatter.
Why is the shame always on me?
However, if you look closely, Pena\'s hand holding the teacup trembles very slightly.
What a shame!
....He\'s really diverse.
“I never thought you were pushing for this confrontation.”
At a glance, I began to understand what was going on.
The empire probably didn\'t push for a confrontation, and it probably reflected Pena\'s personal will strongly.
And apparently, not only the three close friends, but even the mother seems to know about this encounter.
That\'s why mom said that she was looking forward to this confrontation so much.
Hey, did you finally turn your eyes to Pena when the other ladies kept failing?
I shuddered again at their collusion.
Are you saying that you want me to get married and that you are all of one mind in order to get married?
If everyone in the world were like this, world peace would come soon.
I don\'t like world peace like that.
‘By the way, to see Pena come out on her own... did you mean it?\'
Come to think of it, even after the bombshell remarks two years ago, when we talked occasionally, we often said that.
Apparently, Pena started to care about me because of the past.
that\'s really questionable
....What the hell is a guy like me saying?
face? oh well i guess
body? Well that makes sense too.
personality? not perfect this is irrefutable
yeah that makes sense Convince. okay.
Oh, is it possible enough?
“Oh, the weather is nice.”
“...that\'s what I said at first. Has the bottom line already been revealed before then\'?”
If you look closely, Pena\'s mouth twitched very subtly.
It seems that he has reached his limit as well.
I guess it\'s also a place to meet.
And, as if she herself was thinking of something, now she is facing the extreme of shaming.
Even if I say tick-tuck, they don\'t take it properly.
Well, there are quite a few eyes to see.
Aside from the second one, the ladies-in-waiting are also watching with interest, shining their eyes.
First of all, the prince of a country and the princess of an empire.
And that\'s because I\'ve abandoned all rumors and rumors.
It\'s like you can\'t take your eyes off it.
....That\'s right, if it were someone else\'s job, I would have brought popcorn and soda by now.
Apparently, the reason why Pena is so shy is because she is carrying everyone\'s expectations.
I can feel the determination to put an end to this confrontation today.
....Is this because of me too?
The problem isn\'t that.
“No… I’m not thinking about anything right now, am I? Because I know your sincerity. Let\'s talk normally now, okay?”
Aren\'t we like this? Since when have you been like this?
Mr. Arell?”
However, despite my earnest request, Fena still did not let go of that fake smile and pointed somewhere.
It is a large lake created in front of the garden.
A lake made for aesthetics.
Carp lives, carp lives, and frogs also live.
And on top of that, there is a small boat that makes you blatantly guess its purpose.
It is laid out very blatantly for what it is used for!
“It’s a one-of-a-kind atmosphere. how is it?
Since the lake is so beautiful after all, it seems like it would be tasteful to take a boat ride.”
It is also not reasonable to refuse an offer.
For now, I nodded stiffly and accepted Pena\'s invitation.
And I guess you know the intention.
We boarded the boat and slowly moved to the middle of the lake.
For reference, this boat has no oars, but it is magical, so once you get on it, it moves naturally to the other side.
Well, dating on a boat is romantic, but it\'s hell for a man who has to row.
Consideration to prevent that unsightly appearance is evident.
Rumor has it that my father just rowed with one hand.
Also, the physical is great.
“Have you heard from the maids here? I heard that the nobles of Ernesia Kingdom see good in a place like this?”
“okay. And while paddling too hard, everyone got lost and suddenly the place where they faced each other turned into a swimming practice meeting.”
After that, he told the behind-the-scenes story of the addition of a boat that did not require rowing.
For the sake of my honor, I will keep it anonymous.
So if you don\'t stop pretending, know that this confrontation will be our intimate swimming practice.
I deliberately held onto the railing of the boat and smiled.
Let\'s take it as a joke that doesn\'t feel like a mood on purpose.
Pena finally threw away the sparkling smile she had shown so far.
He is making a serious face.
“...Ha, Arell, you are still the same no matter how many years pass. They must not know what a girl’s heart is.”
“Think about how old you and I are now, and play the girl\'s name, Her Highness the Princess.”
Neither of us are that age or between.
What are you talking about now?
“Can\'t you help it? Everyone is looking forward to it, and at least you have to show a good image for good rumors to come. Do I even care about that?”
“…What kind of rumors are these?”
“There is such a thing.”
Well, actually, the only gazes I can feel from far away on the lake right now are those of longing.
Our conversation right now won\'t be heard by the onlookers.
That\'s why you came out to the lake on purpose.
Even if you try to reveal your true nature, if it\'s not a place like this, the eyes of the people around you will be bothered.
I live very tired.
As I sympathized with their lives, Pena frowned as if something had exploded, moved well in a dress on a narrow boat, and approached me closely.
“More than that! Arel! You\'re really too good!
How did you sell all your usual good looks?! Shouldn’t you treat me accordingly when I come out dressed up?”
“Arel Ernesia chooses the time, place and opponent.”
“I have to cover it with the opposite meaning!”
Pena let out a sigh as if it were absurd.
Girlhood is really complicated.
By the way, outside the lake, something now says
“Kyaa!”
and exclamations are bursting out.
Well, you won\'t be able to hear our conversation right now.
Doesn\'t it just look like they\'re sticking close together on a narrow boat from a distance?
If you were aiming, you were aiming.
I was convinced when I saw Pena\'s gaze peering out of the lake.
“good. Whether it\'s moodless conversation or not, I\'m sure everyone will be conscious if you stick around like this.”
“What kind of image do you want to show to whom? What are you competing against?”
I live really tired.
For now, when I carefully stopped her and backed off, Pena grunted as if she was dissatisfied, but she pulled herself away again and sat quietly.
“Well, it\'s true that I took the lead in all of the marriage talks we\'re promoting now.”
“I guess so. Who else would do something like this other than you?”
“yes?”
It\'s not a compliment.
Since two years ago, Pena has been risking her life for marriage as if she had received some kind of strange radio wave from somewhere.
“I had a hard time. First, I had to cooperate with the nobles of the empire... no, I had to convince them.”
“...You\'re a threat right now...
” What did you learn from Arel really help?”
“Did I teach you that?”
I can only guess.....
Yes, there are many. too many
....I am a sinner.
What the hell did I teach this princess at the time?
I didn\'t think that teaching her this and that because she had nothing to do and was excited for no reason would have helped to make her who she is today.
“So it took longer than expected.
Oh don\'t worry Even my older brother doesn’t dare oppose me now.”
“I don’t know if I should be happy or sad about that… but
I feel a little sorry for the Emperor.
I raised your sister too hard.
I was going to give you a little bit of freedom wings of about 2 cm, but it seems that I accidentally put a 2 m.
“And after that, I contacted Leafana-sama and we talked about it in advance.”
“Are you against it?”
“You rather like it? No, when I was trying to promote a confrontational story, I was rather embarrassed to hear that I was grateful. Oh my God, Arel, what the hell did you do every time you met up until now?”
“...I saw the match, what would you have done?”
self-employed.
The karma of the past comes back like this.
“That took time, but I was able to push through the marriage discussion properly!
More than anything, I had to be careful not to let Arel go into your ears.”
“You talk like it jumps out whenever I hear it, isn’t it too much?”
“Are those words coming out of your mouth right now?”
I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut as I was bothered and jumped out just this morning.
“yes yes. Thank you for your hard work... More than that, is it really okay to promote marriage talks like this?”
“What\'s up? In the first place, marrying Arel with you is a dream that all young girls dream of right now, isn’t it?”
Aim for Arel, and if you get your hands on it, you will be blessed with grandsons and grandsons.
....There\'s not a lot of atmosphere like that.
“That\'s why Arel, you run away.”
Pena nodded as if she understood.
“I understand. It’s painful to pursue marriage talks just to use titles and all.”
“Then it seems like I’m being forced into marriage talks by someone who is…?”
“What\'s wrong? Isn\'t it bad for you, Arel?”
Pena confidently said that she had no doubts.
