Chapter 31 - Volume 3 (2/2)
To be able to receive an audience smoothly like this is pretty remarkable.
However, no matter how I look at Helena’s appearance, she didn’t give a noble-like vibe at all.
“Uhm, I’m sorry but, I couldn’t understand well what you are saying”
Helena raised her hand with a question.
“Oh yeah. We have to explain the issue yet to Helena.”
That being said, I told Helena the purpose of the trip and the circumstances leading up to this point.
“… Amazing, world peace! Really like a fairy tale!”
“There will be enemies and obstacles that will stand before us if it’s a fairy tale, so I don’t really want it to appear like one, especially in front of me.”
“I agree. I also don’t want my head to be bitten of by some kind of dragon”
I and Helena nodded mutually.
Well, this is better than an assassin aiming at the branch, or a princess who has quite the circumstances behind her.
“And, to exchange branches of the King Tree, I need to meet with the King here-”
“We would like Helena to cooperate with that.”
“Oh, I understand!”
Helena immediately agreed to the words of me and Fran.
“Really? But I think I haven’t explained it further yet.”
It seems that Fran who was the one who invited her was also surprised by this.
“It’s amazing to be able to cooperate with the elves, and moreover the prince itself! I will do it!”
Helena’s eyes shone brightly as ever.
“So, Fran-oneesan. What should I do?”
“Well, that’s …”
Fran thought about it.
“Nevertheless, an oneesan, huh”
To the extent that the figure that was closing her heart for a while ago seemed to be a lie.
“Prince, please stop laughing”
“Who’s laughing here? Isn’t it good, oneesan?”
“Geez……”
Oh, Fran threw a tantrum.
“Ah, uhmm……”
“Yes, what is it?”
“Can I call Prince-sama oniisan too?”
“So it leads to this, huh. Well, because we will be companions from now on, you can call me oniisan or oniichan or aniki or whatever you like”
To tell the truth, I was an only child, so I never had the experience of having brothers and sisters.
Calling me like this, it felt quite comfortable.
As I thought about that, the door was suddenly opened.
Allan-kun, let’s have a match again!”
Thus entered Effie.
In my hand was a pawn of the board game.
Well, it seems that the special training with my father has finally kicked in once again.
“If I win, I’m allowed to monopolize you tonight. Deal?”
“That was a quite one-sided deal, however”
“My my, do you dislike me now?”
“Of course not”
Cecil, Fran, and Effie. I’m happy to be partnered with anyone of them.
“Uhm, what does that mean?”
Fran asked Helena, who seem to not understand the situation.
“If you win the game, you can be alone with the prince.”
“Eh…… wait… eeeeeeeh!?”
“Ara, does the child over there also want to participate?”
“No, Helena is …”
“I-It’s my first time, so if Onii-san is okay with it……”
When I was about to stop her, the person in question suddenly blurted that out of the blue.
“Ufufufufu, so, what will you do, Allan-kun?”
“Onii-san……”
Don’t tell me, Helena’s actions until now is because……
Did she fell in love at first sight? With me?”
Well, I’m happy about god’s will turning in my favor, and I don’t have any reason to decline either.
“I understand. I will take responsibility if anything happens”
When I told her that, she happily accepted it.
