Chapter 14 - Volume 2 (2/2)

But, using no honorifics would be a bit too much…

For the time being, since Rick is a prince, and I’m a duke’s daughter, using “-sama” gives the sense of a [Wall] between us.

“Well then, Queen, why not have her call him “Roderick Oniisama” outside and without a “-sama” while in this place?”

“Well, that’s quite adorable. Let’s do that. Also, Ria, you should call me ‘Mother-in-Law.’”

“Yes… Mother-in-Law.”

““………””

While my guard was down, the nonchalant duo decided on nicknames.

Do I… have any veto option in this…? I glance over at Rick, Rick seems to be trying to hide.

… It can’t be helped. Even though things might appear this way, I am the best demon at reading the atmosphere, y’know! This much shouldn’t be enough to make me lose my facade… crud.

“…R-Rick…?”

“…Y-yeah.”

Rick suddenly looks shy. If you look like that, I’ll get nervous.

Over there, *KusuKusu*, a bunch of chuckles could be heard.

“…”

Looking over there, the owner of the voice was grinning while looking between me and Rick.

As I thought… Elea-sama.

The first tea party being planned by Grandfather and Uncle of “Children meeting their Relatives” is being taken over by a secret plan.

It seems like Elea-sama has another purpose for this.

Elea-sama is trying to make her cute [Little Sister]’s daughter into her daughter-in-law.

This situation, I don’t think it could be be serious.

For that manner, Rick and I can’t possibly be [Engaged], right?

If all goes to plan, Timothy-kun will be the first to succeed the throne.

If that was the case, as the second born of the crown prince, Rick would form a new house in a new territory, or will be brought into a ducal family by marrying into a house, he may be put with me, since our unborn child would have [Pure Blood].

Uncle has [Military Skill], Father has [Wisdom], since both of them have the [Pure] blood of royalty, they should have children with the non-royal family.

Quite a problem. Quite a big problem.

Since I can’t do it.

I suppose there is a possibility that I will be married to Timothy-kun, but his age is so far from mine… when Timothy-kun is of a marriageable age, I’ll only be 10 years old or so.

He also has that little brother, who he’s [Good Friends] with, so I’ll withhold.

Actually, there is another possibility.

Either of my two elder sisters could marry Timothy-kun, since the [Purity] of their blood should be the same. I see, I don’t need to marry Rick either, since there are two people anyway.

I try to imply as much while talking to Elea-sama.

“Ahaha, Yuru is so young, but you made such a funny joke”

She said with a serious face.

What the heck did you do, as of yet unseen sisters…?

The same kind of thing was said by our knight escort before.

“Yurushia-sama, our one and only [Princess], we welcome you”… or something.

What did he mean…?

Golly, isn’t medieval blood politics a strange thing to think of in today’s world of anti-inbreeding. More slice of life to come.

Random countdown to something: 30 [Feel free to guess what.]

The ambiguity of the author’s writing is giving me a headache. Also, isn’t Yuru the cutest! Oh Yuru, what you don’t know about politics… can’t kill you I guess…
