(Young Bride’s Marital Vow)
“… Are you really alright with that, Your Majesty?”
Philip spoke with King Carlos while looking at Sonia as pulling Kota toward the outside of the roo those words, Carlos was surprised
“…What’s wrong?”
“… Uwah, you surprised me!”
“Oi!”
“Oh? Oh, I didn’t notice you’re here…”
“I was standing near the wall since I can’t seem to just but in into such serious conversation!”
Despite being an able retainer, Philip was somewhat pitiful…
“…Uhu you know?”
“You’re lying! You definitely forgot that I was here!”
Carlos was able to soothe Philip while raising his handsKnowing that anything he said won’t end with a proper answer, he immediately asked the important question…
“…So, are you really okay with all this?”
“About what?”
“About Sonisalanced at the closed doors where Kota was being led ora bit of sadness, but above all, his expression indicates a clear vision
“You should realize it too, no? That was for the sake of obtaining Kota…”
“I don’t see the part of you obtaining hih?”
“Even for me, it won’t be that easy you know?”
“Then why? If you think like that, it doesn’t have to be Sonisama, no?”
Ten years old SoniaAnd twenty-six years old KotaIt was not uncoe 10 or es, but that was only when it co that Your Majesty loved Sonisa such as ‘understand everything just from one part of the story’ However, the wise should always confiret the whole picture
“All of my children are very cute”
“Is that so?”
Carlos the First was a monarch, he was known as soePhilip himself was actually a poor nobleman, but Carlos picks hiht that Carlos loved the ‘smart’ Sonia more than anyone…
“… Well, sure Sonia is a cute one, after all, she is a very clever one…”
Philip nodded his head agreeing hat Carlos saidThough most of Carlos children had inherited his looks, unfortunately, no one inherited his talent, or instead, they had inherited theirelse
“…Once again, are you sure with this?”
That hy it was such a shan country, but to let her join a family in such a rural areaThere should have been a better e out there…
“… It is fine you know?”
“… Is that so?”
“Of courseThink about it carefully, though Alonso is neither good nor bad, well he will develop more in the future, but for now Sorbania has no probleentle smile on his face reht to the throneWhich ,’ soovernment official’ atmosphere like him could turn Sorbania around for the better
“Sorbania is currently in a period of building andSomeone like Alonso is better for such period…”
“… Indeed…”
“That is fine and all but what if the current era is a turbulent era or establishment era? So unnecessarily excessive… In the ti that caused the era turn turbulent is so ‘unnecessary’, see?”
… That hy, he said…
“The smart Sonia should understand that as well… For what reason and where should she heading…”
“… For what reason is it?”
“As a Bell, that is…”
Saying so, the ‘ed to put a bell on the De…”
That was indeed the thought of a snake
“… Honestly, all of my children are the cutest, no? Alonso, Sonia, and of course the other children as well…”
“…”
“The children who are willing to move based on my will is definitely the cutest…”
“… Do you view your own children as a tool?”
“Of courseSure, I haveof SorbaniaThe King works for the country, for the peopleThus, I have to use whatever I can…”
Whether they were enemies or allies
“Of course… That include relatives as well…”
“… As expected of the snake…”
Other than the snake, Carlos was also known as the Moth…
“… Is that so you should say in front of my face?”
When Carlos said that, the two people then laughThe two people looked happy about it…
“Perhaps, that is what o!’, While saying that Sonia dragged Kota to her private rooe
“… About what, I wonder?”
“He expected et information from Kotsama…”
Sonia said that with an innocent smile on her face, then throw her butt into the bedAnd then she shrugged her shoulders
“I don’t think that is a rare story, no?”
There are several types of political ht to inherit the throne…
“In other words, political eIt is one of the objectives of theis not an unusual story…”
And everyone involved knows that… It was so that is often told but, the lady who had political es didn’t have the life of a celebrityThey were actually the director of infore
“… That sounds harsh…”
“You should have known that as well, no? Sonisama…”
” Please call me, ‘Sonia’ I’m a wo, rather than a woirl is irl as a partner, ‘Sonisama'”
“… Oh my, unexpectedly how thickheaded person… Do you hate me that much?”
“I don’t particularly hate you, you know?”
Sonia puffed her cheekHer appearance right noas actually ence
“What’s wrong?”
Noticing Kota’s gaze, Sonia asked and tilted her head, causing Kota to clear his throatIt seems she kne to irl or rather a little girl…
“… It seeer onthat you should say to a ‘girl’?”
“…”
“… I’I don’t want to be disliked by you hed, which was unsuited for soe
“… Let o with Kotsadoht, your plan, your move… That is dom”
“SureI expected that indeed…”
“However… That does not mean I would do it ‘indefinitely’…”
“… What do you aze was turned to the ground
“…What’s wrong?”
Even being asked, she didn’t show any reactionAfter a long silence, Sonia finally opened her mouth
“…Does the fairy-tale story of Catlea had reached Yameto?”
“No, unfortunately, I’m not aware of such fairy-tale story…”
‘Is that so,’ she s told in Sorbania since ancient timesCatlea was soent person, loved by everyoneShe was earnest and sincere, and although he didn’t have ent childhood friend and had a happy family… However, that happy family soon would end”
“…”
“A God, who saw Catlea intelligence and beauty, fell in love with her and seduced her… He said ‘Catlea, if you come to ive you all you want, all the wish you want, and all that you desiredThat is on’t you come with me?…”
Sonia then took a deep breath…
“… In the end, Catlea chooses the GodShe gives up her happy e, the happy home… To become the wife of God”
In Sorbania, that story was known as “The Greedy Princess Catlea” Even her na the sarcasm the public had about her
“In disappointry and shed tears… He went on a long journey to regain his beloved wife… And then, he exhausts all his power during his journey, and passed away…”
He was astolen and passed away in tragedyIt was said, a certain Goddess, saw his hardshi+p, she made him a star… In midsummer, a small star would shi+ne on the eastern skyIt was not flashy, but the star was as if to e that ‘he’ was here to Catlea…
“… I see… I learned a lesson…”
A story often tiht be about a sence a God fell in love with her… “But, why did you tell me this?”
That hat Kota didn’t understand
“Honestly, I think the reason why Catlea betrayed that man and married a God was because she was bored…”
“… Bored?”
“Being faithful? Sure that is a nice word… Being sincere? Indeed that is a beautiful wordEarnest? Indeed, as a wo a woman call a man ‘ideal’… However”
Faithful, sincere, earnest… He had no particular talents, his only ent…
… In Sonia’s eyes, he was a ’…
“… For Catlea as intelligent that even God fell for her, a man that was only sincere and faithful which the onlyman for her, you know?”
“… How about the theory that the story was telling about unfaithfulness? I personally didn’t like that theory though…”
Betrayed by those who one’s lovedWhen it co done out of evil will… In Catlea’s case, if she finds her partner to be a boring ood if she didn’t marry him from the start…
“I personally have no desire to defend CatleaI don’t have such desire, but, I do sympathize her…”
“After all, I aht sound presumptuous for et a the adults in Sorbania…”
“I guess so… Let me be honest with you, I’m actually relievedSince if you’re just an ‘ordinary’ one, there would be no Tera standing by now…”
“I’m different compared to the others… And perhaps, ‘Catlea’ is also different…”
That hy, because Catlea was different, the alien her could not stand the ‘normal’ man… And only with the saether properly…
“… I was honestly shocked when I heard about the deposit certificate that was circulating in TeraIt was a revolutionary trade, replacing gold…”
“Is that so?”
“I never thought of such thing even though it was so simpleThe deposit certificate itself was only a piece of paperHowever, it was the sa it acknowledging thatIt was as if…”
Just like ‘Magic,’ she said…
“Magic is it?”
“That’s rightIsn’t that obvious? Who would’ve thought old? Oh, don’t ic was not the certificateThe one that I called Magic was the ability to make people ‘believe’ that ‘the certificate has the saold’ despite the fact that it was just a piece of paper”
In our world, rather than the ‘banknotes,’ the ‘bank systeic, was the method of the DevilFather who saw Tera development had called Kotsama as the ‘Demon,’ but I was differentThe counterfeit s… You spend a lot ofwhich h it sounds terrible if I say that you have cheated everyone to believe a piece of paper with no value has the saold coinBut yet, everyone believes in it, no, everyone was et how you did it, I didn’t even have the idea to do such a thing…”
It was as if so’ despite there was nothing in front of themOther than God, only the Demon could do thatTherefore, Kota was called the “Demon Lord”
“… I am the princess of SorbaniaTo protect the interest of Sorbania Kingdom, I must marry someone even if it was unwantedthat I had prepared irl ants to experience ‘a girl’s dream’
“I do not wish to become ‘Catlea’ I am meSoniaBut at the sadomThat is why…”
Even if she beca manOf course, Sonia herself didn’t also have the freedoht end up more unhappy than Catlea didHowever, no e was, nothe man was, she had to endure it
“…That was the ‘dream’ I saw… Before I met Kotsama…”
If it was under the Deht where the demon lord stand…
“… I aent
“You sure are a dreaentThe ray of light that gives the ‘bored’ girl a hope
“… What would you do if I was actually a boring man like Catlea childhood friend?”
Even if that was not the caseKota hi manToward Kota’s question, Sonia was…
“If that is the case then… Please, do your best…”
If he was a boring …
“Give e, shower me with loveDevelop Tera and let h to h to the point that I would be burning in jealousy just because you talk with other wo the future you draw, the more madly in love I would be, and then—…”
I would even betray Sorbania and devoteto the Devil
After Sonia said those words, she continued in a hurry as if she realized so
“N-Not only Kotsama… Of course, I would also ent, I will do my best to always stay beautiful in front of you, I will do my best so that you would love me till the end of time… That is why…”
Please, let me stay by your side…
She closes her words with a srown-up expression sighed…
“To i you’re et betrayed, I should make an effort? Don’t you think that is too selfish, princess?”
“Oh es, no? It is the gentleman duty to skillfully deal with it, rather than question it, yes?”
“… Seriously, how selfish you’re indeed, princess”
Well, society was so like that no e his decision when he already decidedIt would be ive up now insteadWhat do you think, Kotsa time to come, she said…
“No, as expected…”
“Why? What part of me are you dissatisfied with?”
“No, I don’t have any complains…”
Even if he was called the Devil, the Demon, in the end, Kota was a eneral coirl was a bit questionable…
“Is it about the difference in age? About that, it is nore you know?”
“For a coe itself is already unusual…”
“For Kotsama to think like common people… Don’t you think it is already too late?”
“No wait, that is not what I meant…”
“… Or maybe…”
Sonia looked at Kota with upturned eyesHer moist eyes…
“… You… Don’t want me?”
“No, Like I said, I was not dissatisfied about you, see?”
“… Is this about,said that, Sonia puts her hand on her small chest as flat as prairieThe eyes that were previously moist now as if a da?! Of course it was not about your chest, you know?”
“Father said, ‘Listen, Sonia… Breast, is e call woer, the better, do you understand?’, that is what he said–…”
“Oi, what are you teaching your daughter with?!”
The worst… The evaluation of Sorbania King inside Kota’s ht?”
Once again she looked at hiaze filled with expectation, Kota could not help it but avert his gaze
“…”
To begin with, Kota could not blame anyone for the situation even if he kept silentEven Kota was a healthythan too small,’ but it was indeed better s like that to Sonia was too harsh but…
“As expected, you like theer aren’t you?!”
Sonia eyes da that, Kota immediately tried to put some words in a rush…
“N-No no, that is not it! I’ breast!”
“… R-Really?”
“O-Of course! In general, the value of the chest is not about how big it is, isn’t it? As expected, I prefer— Wait, what a hiuess that he was a man that could over maneuver Carlos
“E-Emm… E-Even if it is still small, but I’m confident with the shape!”
“Sonisa about?!”
“Eh? Huh? B-But… No, as expected, Kotsama like a voluptuous woman more isn’t it?”
“Like I said, that is not it!”
“………………”
“………………”
“… I’etherAfter that, they had the saument for a whole thirty minutes–
“… Anyway, Sonisa to Tera with ht”
“However… There’s no palace in Tera to welcome someone like you, a princess, you know that?”
At best, there was Erika house, but that was only at the level of a large residence, not on the level of a palace where royal stayOr rather, it was curious even for Kota that Erika stays in such a house despite being the Elder Sister of a Queen
“I don’tI could live with Kotsa that answer…
“I understand… Well then, Sonisama, from now on, please treat me well…”
“… Is it okay?”
“About what?”
“E you…”
“… Even if I said no, you would still conation was essential in life… And when it cohter of a King had wished herselfAt first glance, political e tends to be associated oman repression, but even so, it was difficult for a man too… After all, the man had to take care of the wife they didn’t want either… For Kota, as a ht to choose as well…
“… Still, Sonisae is so too early for you…”
“Is that so?”
“That is what I thought too… That is why… Let see, how about think of this as a ‘bride training’?”
Fortunately, Carlos said it was okay if they stayed as fiancee for nowKota e…
“Why not, call it a wife training?”
“… Please forgive me…”
Soh I feel disagree with you asking for forgiveness… But well, I understand… Let us do just that for now…”
Having said so, she s me ‘Sonisama’… Please call me Sonia…”
“No, to call royalty like that is…”
“I a a royalty…”
“No no no, that should be reversed no?”
“It doesn’t matter…”
She then leans her body forward toward Kota’s chestKota was speechless at her behavior…
“… Now then, Kotsama…”
“…”
“… Kotsama!”
“… F-Fine, I understand! I won’t call you with -sama anymore! But I will use -san! This isKota words, Sonia inflated her cheek… But she was a smart child… She pulled back her leaned body and smiled…
“… Fine then… It see so…
“I pray that ould become a happily married coupleI pray for our relationshi+p entwined like a branch of trees…”
After saying that, more than before, she smiled more beautiful…
