Chapter 188: I won’t let you say it!
Ah, this Emily really did something unnecessary.
It’s more than a thankless task.
And I have to talk to Karendoll in this mood?
That’s why I didn’t want Emily to come…
Complaining about it in my mind will not make this situation better. The silent pressure from Karendoll alone made my stomach churn.
Emily was looking at me with the expression of, ‘I’ve done a great job!’ with her drills spinning rapidly. Seriously, this was so annoying.
Whose fault was it that I’m feeling this way? Shall I grind radishes with those drills?
That said, I was sure that if I missed this opportunity, I would never be able to ask Karendoll why she got engaged to Kaisar.
‘Come on, have some womanly courage and face what must get done!’
“Umm!”
And I started with the wrong volume of my voice in the heat of the moment.
It was so embarrassing. If I could, I would have left this place right now, but if I’ve already embarrassed myself so much, I wouldn’t embarrass myself any further if I continued.
“… Umm. I heard that you asked to get engaged to that Kaisar. What made you decide to get engaged to him, Karendoll-san? Normally, if that Kaisar were to ask me to marry him, I would immediately decline the proposal as soon as my parents gave it to me. I wondered why someone of Karendoll-san’s family background, top-level magic and martial arts skills, and good looks would go to the trouble of choosing Kaisar as a partner…”
“Oh, so it was about that?”
I asked her from the start what had been bothering me ever since she got engaged to Kaisar. Karendoll replied to my question with an ‘Oh, about that?’ as if it was normal.
“Before that, I think I’ve always said that a relationship between you and I has nothing to do with family rank and that we should stop using honorifics and talk to each other as we normally would… Well, okay. It could be the way you normally talk.”
“Morrie usually mumbles a lot!”
You didn’t have to tell her that!
“… Well, that’s all right. But let’s talk about that later. Shall we talk about why I proposed my engagement to Kaisar-sama?”
“Y-yes! Please!”
“Well… The kind of things you’ve been thinking about in your head is something that an adult would make fun of. Just draw any of them and give them to Kaisar-sama. You’ll understand. He’s not only for me, but I know he is the gentleman you have been waiting for.”
