55 Episode 55: Before the show. (1/2)
”Look, is it true...?
”Yes, Father, I wonder why you haven't spoken.”
”I'm sure you want to surprise Prine.”
I see. Surprise.
I want you to quit being such a surprise, and you can't just do that to that husband.
In a hurry I say even more.
”So, but I, I don't even know their faces...!
”That's what matchmaking is all about, isn't it?
”We rarely get nominations from nobles, so we have to do it right.”
”Well, if you're a normal opponent, you can say no, but if you're Lord Franca, it can be difficult.”
”Ah, the... but... the...”
”... now, what, if you have something to say, say it clearly!
”Ugh, no...................................................................................................”
They pissed me off.
My sister sighs as I moan.
”Well, we'll go”
”Good luck at best, Prine”
”Weddings, fun.”
And the sisters who are leaving.
I'm left to bite the facts off.
- I, the nobleman, will marry.
It's not an impossible story.
It is only natural that merchants want to have connections with the nobles. The three sisters are also engaged to the noblemen they met at some party.
But I can't believe I'm the one who didn't even get out of that place yet, caught in the eye of some nobleman...
Now it's like a play. Yes, that's what I'm going to play right now - no, I'm not.
I'm being proposed to someone who's about to play marriage.
- What should I do? What I was talking to Rakun has become a reality......!
I don't know what to do. I don't... I...
”Ra-kun......!
As I was about to cry, I stepped out of the holding room and ran.
Immediately thereafter,
”- Oh, Master Prine Lamoud.”
The attendant's brother stops me.
”Oh, you know, me, I have to go......!
”Yes. It's time for your turn. Trying to go get you.”
”Oh, already!?
”Ladies and gentlemen, you're already on stage.”
”Oh, thank you!
Keep your head down and run right away.
We need to hurry, before the show starts......
I have to tell Ra-kun......!
Opening, ten years ago.
The stage sleeves already had all the actors.
Find Rakun.
”Prine?”
”Ra-kun!
Rakun, who looks like 'Phantom Z', a hat on a black cape and a sabel on his hip, speaks to me. I haven't worn a mask yet.
They found me over there. Always is.
”You know, Ra-kun, they told me I was marrying a nobleman...”
”Oh, you're right. I'm surprised.”
”And you knew!?
”I knew... You read the script, too, right?
”Chi, it's not! I really need to talk to you about getting married, not the script! Yeah, I don't mean to...!
”Not a script...?
Mumbling surprised, Rakun glances around for a moment. I whispered softly.
”They ask me here. Over there.”
Lately, Rakun gives me this kind of fine care. Is it because the job has changed?
We come to the end of the stage sleeve and we have a conversation.
”What do you mean? Marry a nobleman?
”Oh yeah...... I hear your husband has spoken to you, but I haven't even heard it directly yet...”
”I see, it's like a political marriage... You, do they know?
