88 Virgin Dispatch 1 (1/2)
Well... well, now that I'm used to living here, I'm not as dissatisfied as you are.
An environment where you can take a bath every day, wear fine clothes, and have a fine meal and tea.
If you think about it, this is the safe and peaceful life I dreamed of.
No, no, no.
Is this peace? At least it's not safe...?
Yeah, I tried, but I couldn't fool myself enough.
This is different.
I don't know when they're going to assassinate me, but they're going to kill me if I show them the gap.
Talking about the opposite of peace, what is it?
Thinking so, this man who is relaxing and gracefully enjoying the finest tea and exclusive chef's handmade luxury tea confectionery in front of me is in a sense thick.
”What? What's wrong?
With that said, today I have a superb smile and a sparkling husband that has never worked for me before or for a millimeter.
Yes, the habit of tea together every day was still alive. Actually, is this guy a bad guy?
While I think, I'm still glad that you're making time for me every day while I'm busy, and I'm always spending time with love.
”Ah... no... I thought you'd survived to that age...”
”... ahh. Until my skills were proven, my brothers didn't pay attention to me. Five, anyway? But, well, isn't royalty like that?
”Yeah, it's a mess, royal. Besides, is it a skill? Skills are the problem, right? Does everything in this world depend on skills?
”Huh? Isn't that what it is? Is it different where you were? What happened suddenly... oh, maybe you were afraid of the poison knife last time? Don't worry, I'm reviewing the security structure of this castle to make sure it doesn't happen again.”
Smile.
What?
”No, you would have died if I had arrived a little later...”
Even if I hadn't died, I might not have been able to hold on to tea candy like this right now.
It's more about you than me... if this person is paralyzed by a sense of crisis.
”That's right. But thank goodness, that's fine. Thanks to you. [M] Besides, you were the majestic Virgin of my dreams at that time. Oh, I'm so glad. Unexpectedly in front of my men... oh, yeah, that's right, it looks like a new one from the chef's anise series, so eat it.”
As I began to talk with pleasure, it seemed that I had unexpectedly become a cold gaze.
No, I just remembered that this man, the ”Magnificent Virgin who Protects Himself”, was living and spitting in the carriage to the Farglow.
That's right, this guy was a bit of a weird hobby...
If I hadn't known the truth of this happy smile and that beautiful smile, I wouldn't have thought of it now and then, but this person is still a bit sad...
I mean, it's kind of majestic. Aren't you happy?
And I think I'm honestly eating the recommended confectionery.
I'm sorry you didn't eat it even though it seems you made it for me, and whatever our chef makes is delicious. The chef, of course, is Lector's scout, so there's no doubt about it.
Incidentally, the anise series is the name of a herb whose name was originally planted in the Lost Church in Lost Village, but recently the chef here has been using that herb called anise to make sweets.
Everything says, ”The best candy for the Virgin! Something like that...
Thinking about it, I've been spoiled a lot lately.
I thought such a luxurious life was for a limited time.
Maybe it's time for me to be ready.
Be prepared to serve as Lecter's first aid team for the rest of your life.
A husband who is young, tough, too beautiful, yet too gentle, and like the ideal of a woman with status and wealth.
It's a complete waste for me, which means I'm the best ”unfit” husband.
But now that I realize that my safety depends on this Lector, it seems reasonable in a sense to marry as the ”protector of the Virgin” of the country.
If we meet as royalty, we can't kidnap or kill them so easily. For most people, though. And some of them seem to be okay with that.
Still, I had to admit that it was the easiest way to ”I” survive.
Then it would have been fortunate if I had been able to marry this man just in form.
