When I opened the wooden door and entered the guest room, a clear voice came from ahead.
</aside>
âOh, Britney and Ricardo are really in Earl Hakasuâs family. Congratulations on your engagement!â
The first person came into my sight was Prince Emirya with red hair.
âThank you, your highness Emirya.â
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.
âBritney, we finally reunite again.â
âPrincess Angela, you look great. It seems that you live in harmony with Prince EmiryaâŚâ
âW-What? That, thatâs not the case.â
Her face turning red as an apple, Angela tried to deny what I said. to her, as if Emirya had already been used to her performance, then he just smiled quietly.
âJust as what you see, my partner is not frank. If there is any way to know the real thought of my favorite girl, Iâll ask Ricardo for more advice.â
After hearing Emiryaâs words, Angelaâs face turned redder and redder.
In the view of others, their relationship was really good.
âCompared to it, I have something more important to talk with Britney. Itâs also related to Ricardo, so you can stay here and listen to it together.â
Ricardo and I sat on the bench opposite Angela and Emirya.
Angela opened her mouth after she calmed down.
âThe purpose why I pay a visit to Earl Hakusuâs territory was mainly due to the responsibility as an emissary. Itâs a sensitive issue, so I have to visit in person to avoid unnecessary ramifications.â
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.
</aside>
âA sensitive issue?â
âYes, itâs an issue of bother Marlowâs concubine.â
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.
Angelaâs eyes were covered down with her eyelashes. Then she continued the words in a calm tone.
âBritney, youâre one of the main figures in this issue. Have you known the engagement with my brother?â
âY-Yes.â
âIn the past, Iâve 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.â
âI cannot do it. For me, itâs a heavy burden.â
âCome on, in the eyes of most nobles, brother Marlowâs wife should come from a noble family with a higher rank, rather than Earl Hakusuâs family. As for his concubineâŚâ
âNo, the concubine is also a little bitâŚâ
âIf it were you, I believe that you would be excellent in public. Forget it, in fact, I donât agree to accept the issue, too.â
âThatâs 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.â
As I speaking, Angela gave out a soft sigh and put the fan on her lap.
âActually, Iâve 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 couldnât also agree with it.â
</aside>
âParasite?â
âIt is Britneyâs father who provoked the situation. Iâm worried about you this time, so I accepted the mission and pay a visit here.â
âThank you very much, Princess Angela.â
âMy brother said, âI donât want to do something that would cause Britneyâs hatred.â Since you have got engagement with Ricardo, he doesnât want to force you to be his concubine. It is also against his will.â
âAh, I know.â
My heart was full of apologies for Marlow.
In order to avoid such a scandal, Angela knew the situation and took action.
âIâm sorry, Princess Angela.â
âDonât worry! In fact, I planned to move here.â
âHuh? To move here?â
âIt has not been made public, but Astorâs territory has been handed over to us.â
âWell, that is to say, will the prince of the South Country, Emirya also come here bordering on the North Country?â
There was already a good price in the capital city, so Emirya and Angela acquired Astorâs territory and served as Marlowâs ministers.
That place was a part of Earl Astorâs territory. It was flagrantly⌠the purpose was probably to pin down the eastern territory of the Central country.
âThen it will be easier to communicate with Earl Hakuauâs territory. Iâm very delighted.â
As if Angela went into raptures and gave me a bright smile.\n \n
