Chapter 182 (2/2)

I once more turn to the girls to discuss it.

“We more or less heard the situation but, what do you think?”

“I think I want to help her.”

“I agree to helping her. A marriage without the consent of the person herself is undesirable.”

“As part of a former royal family I believe that we should take her to the castle… but as a woman I think she must go to where the person she wants to marry is.”

“My opinion is the same as Naminissa’s. The country is certainly important but if it comes at the expense of someones individuality then I think that it’s wrong.”

“… We should take here there.”

“To submit your own body in the name of the country might sound noble but, it could lead to the birth of unnecesary strains. I also think we should take her to where her beloved is.”

“I feel the same as everyone. Marriage is something that both parties must desire. I will not accept something so unilateral. We should take her to where her beloved is.”

It seems that everyone wishes to fulfill Princess Eris’ wish. Well I also want to do it if I can but, if we were to take her like this, at worst we could make an enemy out of the country… Wait, what if we bring that person from the port town… No, he could be refused entrance at the gates…

Now that I think about it, we know nothing about that person… It wouldn’t be late to make a decision after we hear what kind of person is the one Princess Eris yearns for. If that person were to be suspicious, then we would better take her to the castle…

I realize something this late so I question Princess Eris.

“Incidentally, what kind of person is he?”

Princess Eris closes her eyes and reminiscing she speaks words full of love.

“That person just recently came to live to the port town and came to say his greetings, he seems to be the son of Father’s old friend and from the moment I met him I fell in love. His manners and appearance, his voice and way of talking, and his elegant features… He completely stole my heart.”

Princess Eris’ cheeks are dyed in red and her expression seems enraptured.

“I engraved deeply that person’s name in my heart… Ahh… Navirio-sama…”

… Mh?

“Navirio?”

“Yes, Navirio-sama.”

… Wait a minute… isn’t he…

“The one from the Mabondo Family?”

“Is he your acquaintance?”

Princess Eris bend herself foreward with such impetus that I fell on my back from the recoil.

Do I know him… Yeah… I started to feel like grabbing my head…
