I’m An Uncouth Lady, But I Helped The Villainous Young Lord But He Ended Up Liking Me - Chapter 16 – The marriage of the uncouth daughter

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure it’s OK. If only Lord Nazelbert would allow it. …… Oh, but you don’t like the idea of marrying a Potato Lady, do you? I understand, I’ve had many people of the opposite sex run away from me in my life.”

“…… Miss Agnes?”

“Of course, a sham marriage or a white marriage is fine. Marriage may be inevitable by His Majesty’s order, but if you see a woman you are interested in, please let me know and I will step down gracefully.”

Lord Nazelbert is the benefactor who picked me up, and I would never do anything to embarrass him.

“No, I would rather marry Miss Agnes than marry Princess Mia…….”

Mumblingly, Lord Nazelbert started to say something under his breath. But I couldn’t quite hear him.

Oh well, shouldn’t be important…….

“Brother, I’ll go with you. Father and the others are wrong.”

Was it because I said I wanted to accompany him? Master Julian also began to appeal in a serious voice to go to the frontier with us.

“No, Julian. What about mother? Are you going to leave her alone in this house?”

“That’s…….”

Biting his lip, Master Julian fell silent, looking troubled.

“I can no longer stay in the Duke of Florescence. Julian, take care of my mother.”

Lord Julian looked frustrated but silently nodded to his brother’s words, though he seemed to be dissatisfied.

“Julian, why don’t you go check on my father and brother. I’m sure they know about the documents.”

“O-Okay.”

After confirming that his brother had left the room, Lord Nazelbert now turned to me and knelt down.

Then he took my hand in his, as if to wrap it around his, and said.

“Very well then, Miss Agnes.”

“Yes, what is it?”

“Will you marry me?”

“………….huh!!”

For a moment, I stopped thinking.

After a moment, I understood what was being said, and staring at Lord Nazelbert, I exclaimed.

“Did you just propose!?　Was that a proposal!?”

I was completely flustered.

But Lord Nazelbert spoke to me with a serious expression on his face.

“Yes, Miss Agnes. I want you to marry me and come with me to the frontier.”

I see, so he asked Julian to exit the scene for this…

Whatever it is, I only have one answer to give.

“Yes, I’ll accompany you in this fake marriage.”

When I responded, Lord Nazelbert looked displeased.

“No, it’s not. If you get married under false pretenses, it is the woman who will be in trouble after the dissolution of the marriage. This time, there will be no place for you to go. I don’t want to do anything that will put Miss Agnes in trouble. As long as you don’t mind, I’ll marry you properly.”

“Lord Nazelbert……”

Isn’t he too nice?

I’m starting to get a little worried about you……..

“Miss Agnes, will you accept my proposal?”

“Of course. But, Lord Nazelbert, won’t you really regret it? I’m not even close to her Highness the Princess!”

“Regret? How could I regret it? I’m just relieved that I got to marry you and not Princess Mia.”

Lord Nazelbert continued, placing his hands on my shoulders.

“I want to take good care of Miss Agnes, regardless if it’s a marriage we were ordered to have. Though I must confess that it may cause you some hardship in the frontier.”

“I’m sure we’ll be fine.”

Lord Nazelbert’s beautiful face was so close to mine that I couldn’t understand what I was saying.

I can’t believe I’m marrying such a wonderful man, I feel like I’m getting a nosebleed.

Just a little, Lord Nazelbert looked happy, but it was probably just my imagination. Don’t get carried away.

I feel like Lord Nazelbert is getting closer and closer, but I’m sure it’s just my imagination…….

But a soft touch on my forehead brought me back to myself.

―― He was really getting close to my face, it was not my imagination! What’s more, is that a …… ki, ki, ki ki kiss!

“Oh, um, Lord Nazelbert.”

Lord Nazelbert smiles a soft but strong smile at my confusion.

“I’ll be in your care.”

“………… me too, I’ll be in your kyare.”

I was so nervous that I bit my tongue. It was so embarrassing.

Lord Nazelbert, who didn’t seem to mind, let go of my hand with a somewhat satisfied expression.

Thus, my marriage to Lord Nazelbert was confirmed.
