“It was agreed that once your e with Greed-dono will be formally decided, the re the princess will be overlooked”
“—Coain?”
Being told so unexpected, I was stunned
Eh? Remuneration?
“Although rich, our kingdodo that we long forYou will have a dom’s funds”
The Priht it out in the open while silasses with his index finger
“That is all I wanted to sayWell then, shall we go to His Majesty?”
With a sidelong glance, the Prime Minister finally walked down the hallway
If I accept the e proposal, the remuneration will be overlooked……? Thewhole amount?
As the situation dawned on me, depression somehow spread inside me
It’s too expensive to take aA, isn’t it? After all, I was the desired reward of the Hero
Calculating the difference for having a lady-in-waiting as a reward instead of the redom save?
Fu, fufufufufu……fu……
……I was sold!
—I’ve been sold by the kingdom!
VOLUME 2: Chapter 13 – The Ice Pri summoned me
After the invasion of the de noise
There is a little hare, it was only the inner courtyard of the East building where the Minotaur and Renas-saardeners’ shoulders sluht
However, the West courtyard next to the Palace where Greed-saed at allIt was strange, since the hu to Rufus-sah as he tried to explain the difference between the barrier that covered the castle, the barrier Renas-saic, could not understand it very well
“Greed’s barrier uses the powers of the spirits and it is only necessary to remember that it is extremely special”
Rufus-sa diical power, it was difficult to understand it thoroughly
That rightAs what the deicians’ attention were focused on the decoy Minotaur and none of theicians were surprised an disappointed when they learned the truth
For the arding the humanoid type of demonsTherefore, I understand that they want to ask me a lot of questions
However, as I have reiterated ical powers! Therefore, without knowing that boy is a deer to ask, I suggest you approach Greed-sasama as supposed to have joined hione somewhere
Now that I’ve reeted them in the princess’s room
“Welcome back, Greed-samaThank God you are safe”
At that tiently
“I’ht now”
Seeing his shtened……I’m sorry for all the trouble
After that,Greed-sao to see the state of the barrierRufagsa
Everyone else had been drinking the tea I brewed in the Princess’s rooainst the Minotaur to Rufus-sas, I still did my usual work after that, and when I was about to return to s I caht’s lack of sleep was because I did a lot of thinking and during the day, I’ve been running around due to the invasion of the demonsAnd then after that, I still had work to do
I was exhausted after a long day, so I unconsciously told the Prime Minister, who cao tomorrow……”
“No, I can’t allow that”
But in contradiction, he sh his reply was curt
“I understand”
I bobbedto the Princess before leaving, and headed to the King’s office together with the Prihterhouse
After all, the King’s order is absoluteI don’t think he will only ask about agement with the Hero, and wants to confirement, and of course there’s no other way but to deny it, but I felt disheartened thinking about it
It’s because the King expects it! Yet, when I think I could say “no”, I felt depressed
Leaving thehallway that leads to the main tower, I asked the Prime Minister, as half a step ahead, in a soft voice
“Err, Pried is just a rumor, okay?”
I want hi that nuanceThis person is great at reading between the lines and subtle nuances
However—
The Pri, looked back at
“Say that in front of His MajestyHowever, Aria, letyou want to delay this, refusing is not in the option, you know?”
Hiiiii~!
Even before the King could say anything, this person did not h I knew that he is reallythe position of Pria hie of an intellectual person, speaks with honorifics even towards a Lady-in-waiting A
Although he is already a ed man, his youthful appearance does not fit him the word ‘Uncle’ at allBased on his appearance, he looks like he’s still in his eneration as the royal a side by side with the gried Faer brother or his subordinateIt see us because he is, in fact, more than 40 years old
As for his youthfulness, is it a demon’s curse? Does he also have an Elf’s blood? And other speculations that have coer and their hairs thinning faster, does the Prier subordinates’ youth? That theory is the most plausibleI support that theory
He has aht chestnut hairHe has a tall nose bridge, lips that are ruthlessly thin, and nice almond-shaped eyesEach part of his face is as beautiful as an exquisite plaster figure
In this castle wherein there are a lot of people who are mob-faced, it can be said that he has theto additionally describe his beauty to be “like ice”
No, he is not as expressionless as the HeroThe Prime Minister has a beautiful but sinister sentle smile appeared on the face of the ice statueFor those who are daunted by the face of the Pri winter, a sign of the co ice blade—
An ice blade that mercilessly cuts another person’s heart
Even if the other person is a royalty, he spares hiiven the nickname “Ice Prime Minister”
Women were not afraid to approach himThe Prime Minister is a perfect ornament[T/N: You know, noble society’s culture]
However, he usually hides quite of his handsolassesWell, so have sure and accepted it
I don’t have a glasses guy preference nor a sadistic devil fascination, so as et close to hi at me with his bespectacled amber eyes, added
“His Majesty is kind so he won’t force youBut you are, though imperfect, a nobleAnd you know that you have a duty to prioritize soht?”
His tone was chiding, as if I were a hardheaded childBut if I were to read between the lines, you were actually saying, “Instead of coht, Prime Minister?
And if he’d let ”—it’s not only one thing, right~~? There are actually a lot ht~?
The Prime Minister further continued
“Do you think you can postpone the inevitable? You cannot keep on getting to know each other in order to buy so to find out everything about youIf they publish that the lady-in-waiting is reluctant to n countries an opportunity to interfere with our domestic affairsBefore that happens—you should understand that I auardian, okay?”
While saying the word “Okay”, he showed me a scary smile! If it’s this person, he can do it…… No, he can surely do it!
—In fact, due to this person becouardian, I was able to work in the castleTo be exact, it was the both Famir-sama and himI don’t knohat exactly their relationshi+p is, but the Prier than forty, Famir-sama and my father were friends
I think that the Prime Minister, whose motto is “to be rational”, and s bothersome, were like oil and water…… but, well, they are truly friends
That’s hen I ca, he was h both the Priinally, at the absence of my father, I should consult the PrieBut, I did not do itBecause, as you can see fro to link the Hero and I for national interests
Had I gone to hi forced to marry the HeroScarrryyy!
“Just think about itA e tastes ill propose to a very ordinary woman like you will not appear anymore”
……An ice blade stabbed meYes, it already hack, whack
“Hefuture, isn’t it so two birds with one stoneI was thinking that I’d have to find you a e partner, so I will be able to save time and effort”
……Uhe partner on ree, it hurts when others point it out
And yet, I aBecause it will haunt , so we do not have ti in a curt tone, the PriainHowever, he suddenly stopped after a few steps and looked back at ot to tell you”
The Prime Minister smiled at
“It was agreed that once your e with Greed-dono will be formally decided, the re the princess will be overlooked”
“—Co unexpected, I was stunned
Eh? Redodo that we long forYou will have a doht it out in the open while silasses with his index finger
“That is all I wanted to sayWell then, shall we go to His Majesty?”
With a sidelong glance, the Prime Minister finally walked down the hallway
