172 CHAPTER XX The New Brave and Princess Takashi ⑤ (1/2)

'Ahhhh~!　I said something outrageous in the heat of the moment: ～～～～!　What are we going to do now that we're going to see each other so many times!

When I came back to my room, I was propped up on my bed, screaming at what I had done .

'Oh no! ...... What do I have to look like next time I see Elaine?'

This is definitely going to be awkward!

No, that's Elaine telling me that a guy she doesn't like suddenly told her how much he meant to her.

Yeah, I'm really sorry about that.

'But what can you do when someone says they like a stinky woman like that?

And when he saw that sad look on Hélène's face, he couldn't help but tell her how he felt and what a wonderful woman she was.

Yeah. I didn't do anything wrong. . no, it's Hélène's fault too, right?

What's wrong with me?

Wow!

Suddenly Elaine's voice flew in and I hurriedly jumped off the bed, and I saw Elaine, her face bright red, coming very close to the bed .

...... How long have you been here?

Just now . Specifically, he was there when you were talking about that stinky woman.

Yeah, yeah, .......

He said he was asked about most of it: .......

””......”

Look, it's still awkward.

”...... Well, ...... I've got a lot to say, but I'll just say this first. You're making a mistake, aren't you?

'What?　Wrong?

Yeah. When did I tell you I had a crush on you?

'So, but you asked me how to make a man fall in love with you.　Didn't you hear that because someone wants to make you fall in love with them?

That's what you're asking, isn't it?

'Oh ...... that's what it was all about . Huh, I hate to say this because I'm actually embarrassed, but ...... I can't help it.

'That was, you know, ...... a question designed to make you fall in love with me.

'What?　To make you fall in love with me?

Elaine's words didn't make me think at all .

'Yes . So when you told me that you'd fall in love with me if you were nice to me, I talked to Aaron and we came up with a plan to use holy magic to heal your wounds!　Bad?

Wow, it's not that bad.

Okay, then.

No, it's not bad, but it's not ...... bad, is it?

”Ma, seriously, ...... why do you want to make me fall in love with you?　You were talking about all that incompetence and incompetence.

It's .......

Isn't there an explanation for this?

No. Why would I?　I like you so much.

Hmm.

From Elaine's hasty reaction, I don't think she genuinely likes me.

Maybe Elaine has some other reason to make me fall in love with her.

What?　Are you doubting me?

No, no.

Well, I wouldn't mind being fooled by Elaine.

It's nice to hear that you like her, even if it's a lie.

Okay. Well, I guess I'll just go back to my room.

Oh, wait a minute, he went to .......

We could have talked some more if we wanted to.

Well, I'm tired and I'm going to bed.

Boom!

Are you the brave one?

Yes, but ...... what about you?

I'll lie in bed, and then we'll go to bed!　Just as I was saying that, a couple of guys walked into my room.

One of them is about two years younger than me, a stocky, fat boy who looks very much like a 'bonbon' and a knight-like man about the same age who serves him.

'Me?　I am the next king, Matthias.

”Matthius. ....... How many incoming kings do we have in this country?

Hélène said herself that she was the next queen or something?

No way!　There is only one king. I deserve better than Elaine and Leeds.　So I should be the king.

To hear you say that, it means that right now Elaine or Leeds has a better chance of being king than you do .

Really. So what do you want from me?

You!　If you didn't tell me earlier, I'd be flippant ...... disrespectful to your highness!

Maybe he didn't like the fact that I was acting so high and mighty, but the knight-like man put his hand on his sword and got angry.

Well, even though he looks like this, he's still a prince, so I should be respectful.

I thought so, but Mattius showed me that this was not necessary.

”Horst, take it easy. ”Horst, calm down. You'll be the one profaning yourself.

Oh? I hadn't heard that. Well, as far as the word ”in law” is concerned, it's just enough that the prince won't be offended if you don't call him a respectful term.

Yeah, it was: ......

So let me get straight to the point. Will you turn down a brave man?

What?

No, it's so monotonous, I have no idea what you're talking about?

Now I'll save you the pain. Or I'll give you a job if you want it. Isn't all the food good in other worlds?　I'll give you my own personal chef. What do you think?

Yeah, I don't like it.

And I can't cook. And besides, who would work for a fat guy like you when you're away from Hélène?
