Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! - Chapter 136

Idle Talk Thoughts of each 1

Ricardo’s situation

It hurts.
My body is in agony.
I know the cause.
Yesterday, grandmother cautioned me with her fists.
The usually gentle grandmother is truly the mother of my mother Once she’s angered, her fists fall mercilessly.
No, it wasn’t just her fists, in grandmother’s case there were also legs, so the extra damage is

Even if I’m punished by mother’s fist, the next day Im fine.
The level of grandfather’s and grandmother’s strength is too different.

I arrived at the dining room with an aching body.
Father and grandfather were already there early in the morning.

“Good morning.”

Both greeted me back with ‘Good morning.’

“Ricardo it seems Leafia was quite successful?”

“Yes, grandmother is much powerful than mother.”

Grandfather laughed at my words.
No, it’s honestly not a laughing matter.

“Ricardo, you have a meeting to review the security system early in the morning today, so we’ll be leaving soon.”

As he said that, father began preparing to head out.
Haa~~, after all it’s like this.
When Prince Leon escaped, there was n.o.body from the chivalric order present
From now on, someone will always be stationed.
But I have a more important task than that.

It’s Sana.
When will I meet Sana?
Although we are supposed to be in the same mansion, we can’t meet at all.
Is it someone’s scheme to not let us meet while we are so close?
However ditching work to see Sana will get her angry Sana that is, of course.
No, I especially hate being scolded by Sana.
I’d rather err on the side of caution.
I began preparing to go out without resisting.

Grandfather who was watching my changing expression spoke to me.

“Ricardo, your unwillingness to go to work because Sana’s on your mind is showing on your face. How about I pa.s.s a message to Sana?”

I responded to grandfather’s suggestion vigorously.

“Is, is that alright? Then, could you tell her I want to talk when I come back?”

“Well, that much should be fine. Now, go and finish your work.”

Th, that’s right.
I need to hurry up, we’ll only talk once I come back.
Once I decided so, I boarded a carriage together with father and headed for the castle.

So, how long will this conference take?
So far five hours pa.s.sed.

This meeting, which hasn’t seen a single break yet, shows no signs of ending.
Prince Leon coming to my place to apologize to Lillina became quite a problem.
I’m certain the talk about strengthening the security has for some reason turned into a discussion about succeeding the throne.
Isn’t it a little different from the talk so far?

“Therefore! What will you do if Prince Leon remains like this when he succeeds the throne?”

The one making noise Umm, who is it?
Ah, certainly, when Alek’s father was punished, that guy somehow survived being under suspicion.
He didn’t approve of Prince Leon back then.

” I think it’s not the right time to talk about that.”

Father will snap soon.
He’s irritated by his latest remark.
In the first place, Prince Leon said he’ll marry Princess Sumire, why is there a problem now.
Just bless them obediently.

“But Prime Minister! Previously the king proclaimed he wouldn’t hand over the crown without some achievements on Prince Leon’s part, far from achievements, he’s causing problems. It fills us with anxiety.”

Who’s this ‘us’?
The guy who’s acting concerned is absolutely attacking Prince Leon’s weaknesses.
Even after Prince Leon’s memory disappeared, he seems sensitive to fraudulent acts and is doing various investigations.
Occasionally helped by Princess Sumire’s ninja, he seems to have obtained quite a bit of information.
Probably they don’t want Prince Leon to ascend the throne for now, I think they’re certainly up to something.
Ha~~, they don’t have to worsen their situation.

“Anxiety huh. In that case, why don’t we invite both the king and Prince Leon to this place and talk with them directly? It seems the king him~~self is also bothered by Prince Leon’s situation, he’ll listen to your story. Also, let’s confirm the original subject of the meeting.”

Father snapped.
A~~h, that’s why you shouldn’t stir up a hornets nest.
Perhaps he’ll talk with Prince Leon a lot here.
Depending on the content, it may turn into an achievement.
Then Prince Leon will come out cleared of doubts regarding succession.

The guy who was repeating himself until now, became startled by father’s proposal.
While hes saying something like “Ah, no, that’s”, father is efficiently preparing to call for the king and Prince Leon.
But should it be so easy for Prime Minister to call for the king and the prince?
