Chapter 428 - Miles Decision 1 (2/2)
At first, Mile thought Marcella’s Trio had left the country on their own just to meet her. Then she felt relieved to hear that Marcella’s Trio legitimately traveled with the country’s permission.
All three girls have their own family, their position, and their own future. So she was impressed that Marcella-san and Oriana-san could leave the country without any problems.
…As for Monica, she is a smart girl and a merchant’s daughter, it wouldn’t be strange for her to travel across the country.
She was relieved to think that it would be okay to return home as it is…
But there was something fishy.
(((Dangerous!!))) (Marcella’s Trio)
Marcella’s Trio was impatient.
The expression is missing from Mile’s face.
And Marcella’s Trio can’t help understanding what that means.
Yes, it was Mile’s anger mode being activated…
「What do you mean?」(Mile)
「… Didn’t I just say that?」(Marcella)
*sweatdrop* Marcella smiles as she sweats…
「I haven’t heard…」(Mile)
「A… Ara… was that so…」(Marcella)
「L~I~S~T~E~N, I HAVEN’T HEARD…」(Mile)
「「「Gyaaa~aa」」」(Marcella’s Trio)
…And then, a while later.
「Geez, I’ve already talked about everything…」(Marcella)
Marcella is weeping.
And Mile is…
「…I see, you mean to take me home…」(Mile)
…somewhat angry.
「Then give me to the Royalty…」(Mile)
「No, that’s wrong!
That’s what a few years of free travel are for!
Since the royal family must get engaged early due to political issues, his highness, the Crown Prince, who is already quite late, will soon have to decide on a Crown Princess. And his Highness, the Second Prince will also have to decide his Princess in a few years, by that time, Adel-san will be safe.
You can’t refuse the royal’s order but they can’t force you to become a princess or mistress.
No, normally, your parents and relatives would never refuse, but Adel-san is “unusual”…」(Marcella)
「What… what do you mean by “unusual”?」(Mile)
Mile protests against Marcella’s “unusual” remarks…
「No, I mean, Adel-san has no parents left, and because you are the head of your family,
You won’t be compelled by someone else…」(Marcella)
「Ah, so that’s what you mean…」(Mile)
Miles seemed to be convinced by Marcella’s explanation which was made use in a hurry.
(Ah, that was dangerous…) (Marcella)
Somehow, Marcella seems to be able to prevent Mile’s anger from progressing to the next stage.
「…..So, what did the princes’ engagement, princess, and mistress have to do with me?」(Mile)
「「「「「「Eh……」」」」」」(Red Oath + Wonder Three)
Apparently, Mile did not even think that she was a candidate for Crown Princess or second Prince’s Princess.
It seems like Mile didn’t know that the royal family and the aristocrats aimed at her simply because of her abilities and the purpose of “connecting with the goddess”.
But in that case, Marcella herself also the same (average) as Mile, she didn’t think herself as a candidate for “Crown Princess or second Prince’s Princess”.
Well, Mile is a weak Viscountess without any backing, and Marcella is just the third daughter of the Poor Baron family.
Normally, they aren’t the person who would be able to marry into the royal family, so they didn’t think about it.
…Yes, if it’s “Normally”…
