Chapter 26

CHAPTER 26 THIS IS THE SO-CALLED

Isnt this the so-called date?

Today is the day of His Highness invitation.

Since this is an invitation from His Highness I should pretty up a bit~! Is what I thought but.

Okaasama who got to know about this from who knows where dressed me up.

Fine feathers make fine birds I think.

A fluttering lace dress. Not a one piece, but a dress. I dont have any complaints about the light pink color nor the design, but the clothes are falling off of me!

His Highness who saw me all dressed up, held back his laughter.

I shouldnt put it on!!

But, Okaasama would be scary if I didnt put it on so theres no helping it.

How do you do today, Your Highness. It is all right to laugh, you know?

No, sorry. That were you dressed up by parents?

Yes, that is right

You could wear that in a few more years

His Highness laughs and pulls the seat.

I was guided in the castle. In its courtyard.

Although I called it like that, its apparently generally restricted area.

Oniisama could send me off only so far.

Welcome, Ojousan

Why dont you sit?

I ended up thinking that being called Ojousan is somehow creepy.

But standing on my feet for too long, I thought about that and took a seat.

His Highness watched me with a smile.

What business do you have with me?

I dont really have one, though?

Can I return?

No, he laughs.

Damn it, this fellow. No, I cant say something like that about His Highness!

Whats with this prince!

I dont have a business, but I thought that I would like to talk with you a bit more

There was a hindrance last time, His Highness says. Hindrance?

Ah, I remember now. I dont remember her name, but I remember some gaudy woman.

What has happened after that?

I ran away with Tristan. We are not that persons opponents, after all,

Is that so?

The conversation was cut off. I dont really want to talk if you ask me, yes.

I want to get away from this prince!!

I try to send my feelings through my gaze, but.

He just keeps smiling.

Un, right. Lets get engaged, after all

I do not understand your meaning

I dont always think of bad things, Miss Leticia

Ah, you properly remembered my name. However, Your Highness, because you told Oniisama and me to call you Alex, I dont really remember your real name.

Therefore, I will call you Your Highness. He wont ask me to call him by his name, right?

Your Highness, I did not have my social debut yet so I am still just a cheeky young girl here and there, you know? Eventually, I may become like the loud person from before, or say some strange things

Since you are the one saying that it will be okay

I also do not have any interest, so

Then, Royal order

Your Highness is not someone who would do something like that

Well, you are right

If you think so much about it that much, there wont be a problem,His Highness says.

Even if you say that~! I have no interest there may be a setting in the future where I will have to marry a nobleman.

I understand that, but.

I am living only for slightly over ten years, so~! Although I have the memory of my previous life, ten years ago is my mainstay after all.

I am interested in you. It was because you were Tristans imouto at first, but now I think that I would like us to get along

Therefore, I would like talk once in a while, he says.

And with a melting smile at that!

As expected, I cant refuse that~I thought and ended up nodding. Just once in a while, once in a while.

Yosh, we will get to know each other a bit more, then we will get engaged once you are good with it

We will not

Hes immediately talking about engagement, though.

What is this, I can make a prince my lover now? Is what I thought, but you see.

Why are you speaking about engagement so much?

Eh? You will be told about what I said soon, wouldnt you find it troublesome, not being able to be with the person you like?

U~n

I would prefer being with the person I like. Being with someone you dont like would not be enjoyable.

I hope that Your Highness can meet a good person. Ah, but Giselle-chan is off limits! Giselle-chan is!

Giselle? the girl from last time?

That is right!

Giselle-chan and His Highness would look good together, but however!

However, Giselle-chan is off limits. I cant really tell the reason in words, but shes off limits!

Anyhow, off limits!

In front of my persistence,I understand, His Highness gave a wry smile.

After that, we have separated from the engagement talk and chattered. Even if it was with that prince.

I think I had quite an enjoyable time.
