Chapter 67 (2/2)
「It’s slightly different but…… the result would be that you would become my mother’s daughter, I guess?」
「……Certainly, I don’t have any family in this world, but… Even so, to become the royalty’s adopted child is…」
Mu, being like this, it wasn’t conveyed successfully huh.
「No, just becoming an adopted child isn’t a way to become royalty though… For example, uh…… you could say even getting married would make you a daughter, right? Hasn’t Sakura thought of something like marriage? Speaking of 15, that’s an age where it’s possible for marriage as well, right?」
「Marriage, is it? ……I haven’t thought about that either ne. Look, don’t I have this sort of appearance? I think I lack the charm of a woman you know ne. I think something like marriage is impossible for me who’s like this. Besides, I’m doing my best to live right now after all. Aah, I also have this child ne.」
Saying that, she looked at the cat by her feet.
「There’s no such thing, you know? I think…… uh, Sakura is cute, I believe you can get married you know?」
I stretched out my hand and placed it on top of Sakura’s hand and continued speaking.
Sakura reacted with a twitch for an instant, but didn’t say anything.
「Besides…… you’ll get married sooner or later, right? Since that’s the case, wouldn’t it be fine if it’s slightly earlier? Furthermore, being married would also bring stability to your life… Therefore, like with me, how aboutー「Nya~」」
A cry echoed out as if it was trying to interrupt my final words.
「Ara? Aah!? Geez, to be this dirty… Aah, these won’t come off if you don’t take a bath huh?」
「Ni~」
Her hand slipped through my hand and began taking care of the cat by her feet.
「Ah, sorry. what did you say earlier?」
「……No, it wasn’t important so don’t worry about it.」
「Is that so? But…… I still haven’t thought about marriage yet. It’s still a bit further in the future before I would think of those sorts of things ne.」
She continued to take care of the cat after saying that.
I looked up at the sky on the way back to the castle.
The night road was illuminated by the moon.
「I did my best na…」
My monologue vanished off into the sky.
I let out a large sigh and proceeded towards the castle.
「Sedrim, how was it?」
The following day, when the promised three days had pa.s.sed, mother brought along Aria and Chiffon and turned up at my office.
「Mother…」
「Judging from that appearance, there doesn’t seem to be any progress, am I right?」
I was left with nothing to say from those straightforward words.
If I were to make an excuse, I think I really did my best.
「As expected, it’s impossible for oni-sama to do it within three days wa ne.」
「Did we not understand that from the beginning? We must work out a different strategy here.」
「That’s right ne. I wonder that sort of plan would be good next?」
「To have His Highness use it…… as expected, would it not have a high chance of failure?」
「That’s right wa ne… Mother, Chiffon. We will work out a new strategy once we return to our room okay.」
I saw off the three people who left like a storm after they said what they wanted to say.
「……Perhaps, I’m just being played?」
Realizing the truth and thinking about the 「new strategy」 the three people said earlier which will befall me, I let out a sigh.
「Haa~… I’m begging you, please leave me alone…」
author’s note
Because I was told the Prince gave something like a gross or perverted impression, I thought to back up the Prince so I wrote this, but…
Oh? I feel his evaluation has become even worse.
In the end, the Prince did his best, right?
