Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! - Chapter 138

Idle Talk Thoughts of each 3

Sumire’s situation

” And that’s the story. The ‘evidence’ we gathered seems to have been useful.”

“Right, that’s good. With this, Leon-sama’s position should recover.”

“Yes. This time, Prime Minister seems to have become Prince Leon’s ally.”

“Prime Minister That is Lillinsan father. Hmph, Lillinsan has it good to have a useful father.”

In response, the ninja Hanzou is watching me with lukewarm eyes.
I get it, but I can’t help it!

“Princess Sumire, as it is, princess will become this country’s queen without incident. Can’t princess manage to do something about it soon. This personality. Princess wants to become friends with Lillinsama, right? Lillinsama doesn’t understand this att.i.tude. If nothing is done I wonder if princess will meet Lillinsama again.”

I said nothing to Hanzou’s words.
Such a thing, such a thing is something I understand the best.
I would like to meet Lillinsan once more.
Meet her, and properly greet her.

To begin with, the tea party was the worst.
I was so excited to meet Lillinsan, my mouth moved more than usual.
Moreover Leon-sama appeared midway Ugh~~, I wonder why I am like this.

Recently I’ve been meeting with Leon-sama every day, he seems to understand what I’m saying.
Of course, I’ve never told Leon-sama how twisted I am.
However, the topic of everyday tea parties is Lillinsan.
If you took what I say at face value, it’d seem all I do is complain about Lillinsan
No, what I say are without doubt complaints.
At first Leon-sama also seemed to believe I disliked Lillinsan, but it looks like after some time he noticed my words and my expressions don’t match.

My adoration for Leon-sama who understood me just grew even stronger.
And the time spent on talking about Lillinsan with Leon-sama, who doesn’t misunderstand me, is irreplaceable for me.

However, Leon-sama whom I adore feels such an affection towards Lillinsan, I haven’t told him why I speak such twisted words.
Gentle Leon-sama doesn’t try to force it out of me even if he’s curious.
But that is also wonderful cough.

“Princess.”

The one who called out to me was Sasuke, who entered the room unnoticed.

“Ara, Sasuke. What’s wrong?”

“Ah~, princess. As, Hanzou says, isn’t it good, already? Lillinsama is, an ‘alright’ person, isn’t she? Lillinsama, won’t hurt, princess.”

Haa, I know.
Lillinsan is different from those people.
She won’t bully or persecute me.
Even my twisted words aren’t completely refused.
But that’s why, I’d like such Lillina to become interested in me.
I only know this way.

“Princess, probably Lillina’s group will be going on a journey again now. In such case, they won’t return to the Royal Capital for the time being.”

“Ah~, they won’t attend, the wedding ceremony.”

“Won’t attend!?”

Hanzou and Sasuke look amazed at my response.

“That would be so. Considering the actions of princess and Prince Leon until now, they think it’s risky to attend.”

“Prime Minister too, okayed, their absence.”

“Si, since she’s a va.s.sal, attendance is obligatory! Lillinsan, I was too soft.”

Ugh, to not show up.
Even though I was planning to greet her properly at the wedding ceremony.
But, it’s my words and letters until now that caused this situation.
When they noticed I was visibly depressed, the two in front of me looked at each other and sighed.

“In any case, if you want her to attend the wedding ceremony, let’s start with a decent letter. While correcting speech would be difficult, a letter can be rewritten any number of times. Of course, I will censor it.”

“Then, I will, hand it, to Lillinsama.”

They seem to be cooperating with each other.
A letter I wonder if I can write it?
But, I feel like otherwise I won’t be able to see Lillinsan.
I hope together with Leon-sama we will become friends without fail.
Though I start at a disadvantageous position.
However I know it’s just me reaping what I sowed.

” I understand. I will write it.”

When I said that, Hanzou brought out pen and paper right away.
Eh? Right now?

“There’s a saying ‘strike while the iron is hot.’ Now, now, please write.”

Hurried by Hanzou I picked up the pen.
I understand, I’ll do it.

“A~~h, declaring from the start Princess, let’s stop with the sudden abusive language. Why does it begin with ‘What do you mean by saying you won’t attend my wedding? You are disqualified as a va.s.sal.’ Yes, redo it.”

Hanzou crushed what I wrote on the spot.

“W, what are you doing.”

“I crushed it. You weren’t thinking of leaving it? Yes, please write it once again.”

“Princess, please do it, well.”

I kept earnestly writing letters while being told they are no good.
This I wonder when will Hanzou accept them?
