Chapter 241 - Proposals (2/2)

”Ah..”

”What is it?”

”No, before that. Since we're on the topic, Pupillam. Were you acting in front of your father as well?”

Pupillam raised her eyebrows, puzzled, ”My father? What are you talking about?”

”Ah, your conversation with your father. I overheard it.”

Recognition filled her eyes, ”I see.”

”When the time comes for me to get married, I'll propose...” Zenith scratched his head, ”It was surprising, so I asked Kyoya for more details.”

”He sure gave you a detailed report.”

She's questioning him with just her eyes; it's really scary whenever she does that! ”Uh no it's just, it was rather vague so ... I'd like to ask for more details on it.”

”It's Amakaze.”

Huh?

”I thought you still had feelings for..”

Pupillam smiled weakly, ”You never expected that, did you? ”

”No. Never would be stretching it . . .” Zenith stared at her with wide eyes, ”But seriously to think that the person whom I could never understand would tell me straight out that it's Amakaze. I even thought you'd say that Amakaze is definitely not one of the candidates.”

he trailed off, ”Did I miss something?”

Pupillam chuckles, ”Indeed it may come out as a surprise. Although the engagement was supposed to be part of the plan, it may have worked out unexpectedly too well.”

”You did say that this was a playing card you could use well, did you expect that to reverse on you?” Zenith said, calming down.

”I didn't. Truthfully speaking... Prince Zenith you knew about it, didn't you? My feelings for him?'

Zenith nodded, ”I kinda figured that you still liked him. Even though you two had a mutual break up with each other. It felt like you still had feelings for him, I couldn't tell though. .” he trails off before adding, ”Your expressions hard to read. ”

”Mm, I won't deny that. I like that person, and maybe even now I do. But in the first place, I also don't understand matters like love and am rather clumsy at it. I may have 'liked' him. But it wasn't love. Even now, I still haven't experienced love at all. However, I find myself drawn to Lord Amakaze, I was bothered about it...when he didn't speak with me for a while, and my eyes seem to find him in the crowd despite the huge amount of people. Although right now I'm not sure, I'd like to give it a try.”

When he didn't approach her, and she had to find him. Pupillam felt uncomfortable. It was such a strange thing for her.

”That guy, although I don't understand him all too well. I'm sure he can protect you.”

”That's good to hear. After all, I intend to convince him to return to being a Knight. I believe it's something he wants after all.”

Zenith sweatdropped, ”In other words, 'I'll seriously take this engagement properly if you return to being a knight?' Woah I think I remember why the Prince always dealt with you with a smile.”
