chapter 38
038. This Marriage Approved (2)
“Keuk kuk kuk.”
“… ….”
Maria looked up at Friedrich’s laughter as she came to her senses and looked at him with her eyes.
A duel is a duel to freeze to death. Wasn’t he the one who just collapsed without even being able to block the opponent’s blind sword?
“Good, good.”
But for some reason, Friedrich had been laughing since before, like a man out of his mind.
What the hell is good about?
“Phi, doesn’t that sound good for a defeated person?”
“Nothing. Isn’t it weird that it’s not good?”
Maria just stamped her feet and grumbled at Friedrich’s laid-back attitude.
Berrys, who laid Friedrich down in the living room of Maria’s mansion, who had just arrived, easily brushed off her offer to go and have a cup of tea.
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand because it was already late, but it couldn’t be helped that one side of my heart felt uneasy.
‘Yes. I’m not kicked?’
Maria rationalized that.
Anyway, Cecilia and Arwen are by Berris’ side. He must have chosen to return home because he was worried about their fatigue.
…… Otherwise, it seemed a bit sad.
“Looking forward to tomorrow. I might need to leave a little early to meet him.”
“What? Are you Berris? Why is that person?”
Unsurprisingly, Maria let out a surprised voice.
I didn’t think she was a person with no self-respect, but what else could she say when she lost in a duel miserably.
“Shouldn’t you give him permission?”
“…… Permission?”
“Anyway, Maria. Didn’t you like him?”
“Yes.”
“This older brother will personally help you. I mean.”
“Well, you never asked for anything like that?”
“Think calmly. Who can help your heart the most?”
Having said that, Maria wiggled her fingers.
Inside her immediate academy is her friend, Lady Delia. She also has Cecilia and Arwen, whom she has recently become friends with.
‘…… Wait. Aren’t they enemies?’
To be honest, there is no way that Arwen and Cecilia do not have Veris in their hearts.
Otherwise, why would I be living under the same roof with Veris?
“…… Great.”
Maria finally responded in an inappropriate, creeping voice.
Recently, when I think about it, she was herself who had become so timid that it was strange. The reason must be because of him, without having to think about it.
It was a night full of thoughts. Maria thought so.
* * *
“Yes?”
“I wouldn’t have heard it wrong. I mean take my sister.”
Berry’s face was dazed at Friedrich’s proposal, which had returned to her first tone before she knew it.
It is Friedrich who suddenly came back. It was good up to that point, but out of the blue, why are you taking your little sister?
Turning her head, she saw Maria with her face flushed and her head bowed. There were also two girls who looked at her with her eyes narrowed like her cat, as if they were going to eat her.
“I consent to this marriage.”
“…… ?”
“What more can I say? I’m trying to give you a chance to marry the princess of the empire.”
“… ….”
Veris was in an absurd mood.
No, who asked to be engaged?
“Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
“Yes, talk.”
“In case you don’t know, I have a fiancée.”
“Eh?”
It was Maria who made the stupid noise. As if this was the first time she had heard it, she couldn’t erase the ecstasy that had bloomed across her face.
Then Maria turned her eyes to see Arwen and Cecilia. The two of them were already aware of the problem, but they were still sending Maria a warm gaze.
“What does that mean?”
“…… As you said, it means that I have a fiance chosen by my family.”
She is actually Beatrice, who has not seen her face for a long time and does not even remember her. She is Gunther’s real older sister, isn’t she Berris’ only one?
“Is that true? You?”
Frederick, astonished as her Mary of course, had the same stupid face as hers.
Unexpectedly, she showed emotion that she did not know that Berris, who lives with two beautiful girls, was that kind of guy.
“Do you know Gunther von Haruen?”
“Everyone knows. Isn’t he a junior who is called the swordsmanship genius of the empire at the time after me?”
“His sister is my fiance.”
“…… !”
Friedrich was surprised.
She was as surprised as yesterday when she heard that Veris, who was sitting leisurely in front of her eyes, had slashed her sword demon with a single sword.
‘If it’s Gunther’s sister, isn’t it Beatrice of the Magic Tower?’
There will be no one who doesn’t know her for her person who belongs to her empire’s academy.
She was born with exceptional magical talent and exhibits the qualities of a great mage. She is Veris’ betrothed?
“Amazing.”
Anyway, a marriage in the womb is like a fate that can’t be avoided if nobles are self-controlled. However, the fact that this extraordinary man’s fiancé was an extraordinary woman brought quite a pure shock.
“Yeah, it can’t be.”
Maria let out a devastated sob. It was Arwen and Cecilia who seemed happy to see Maria like that.
“Look. Doesn’t that mean he has no intention of marrying Mary?”
“…… To tell you my honest opinion, I don’t really care.”
“Huh? What do you mean by that?”
“One day my father, Count Verden, asked me. What do you think of a marriage in the womb where not a single word of my opinion came into it?”
“… ….”
“At that time, I gave the same answer as now. I don’t really care.”
Although he has a cool personality, he is overly cool. Thinking so, Friedrich turned his eyes and looked at the two girls.
She is an elf swordsman who is said to have mastered the spirit sword, and what a saint.
Then don’t these two women know this side of this man and still be together?
“Yes, yes. What a big deal a man is like that! Ha ha ha! Under!”
Usually, a man who marries a princess only has one princess as his wife. However, if there are elves or saints besides the princess…….
‘This wasn’t a matter of engagement, it was a fight between the royal family.’
Friedrich took a clear look at this situation.
Anyway, fights of spirit among women are quite common, even if they are common. So her sister must be mindful of that.
* * *
“Verys.”
“Huh?”
In the blink of an eye, Friedrich and Maria have returned, and only the three of them remain in the mansion.
Cecilia approached Veris, who was lying on the sofa in the living room.
I don’t know why, but lately, more and more people are targeting Veris. No, maybe it will happen, but now the reaction may come.
Therefore, Cecilia could not erase the feeling of uneasiness that bloomed deep in her heart. She is now she lives under one roof with him, as if she were newlyweds, but is it not a peace that could break at any moment?
“I have a question.”
“What is it?”
Cecilia swallowed her dry saliva at the sound of Berry’s tone.
Noticing that her mood was different from usual, Arwen sat next to her in her Veris and quietly looked at her.
“By any chance, Berrys-sama is that fiancé…… Does she intend to marry Beatrice-sama?”
“Hmm, well.”
Unexpectedly, Berrys quickly gave her answer. However, the answer remains a bit ambiguous.
“I don’t know. Maybe that Beatrice changed her mind. We haven’t seen each other in over ten years.”
“I see.”
“And…… It’s funny that I’m even saying this. I’m a man too, and I’m smart.”
“Yes?”
“That…… I know what you and Arwen think of me.”
“What are you doing?”
Cecilia’s face turned red at her attack, not the sudden one from Veris, and then uttered her alien language.
It was a response worthy of a saintess who has no immunity against men.
“It’s funny to say this in front of you guys. But if Beatrice wishes to marry her with me, she has no intention of avoiding it.”
“…… What do you mean?”
“What…… If you only wish, to marry the two…… You won’t hate it.”
Bulkkeok!
Arwen, who had been quietly listening to Berris’ low voice, stood up from her seat.
Like her ungreased wooden doll, she made her lame excuses as she walked towards her kitchen with her stiff gait.
“Seol, wash the dishes. Go. Because…… I’ll do it.”
Anyone can see that this is an abnormal appearance. But Cecilia had no mind to worry about her now.
‘Off, off, off, off, off, marriage. Delivery.’
She once got into an argument with Arwen that didn’t even sound like an argument.
Then Cecilia screamed that loudly, she confidently.
“Go, thank you…… Do. I’m just tired…… I will rest in my room.”
“Yes.”
Leaving behind the terrifyingly soft tone, Cecilia headed for her room.
…… I guess I won’t be able to sleep tonight.
* * *
“Ouch!”
Arwen buried her face in her pillow and shouted.
Naturally, the cry that everyone in the mansion should have heard was fortunately blocked by a pillow and only lingered in Arwen’s mouth.
Actually, it’s something I’ve always thought about. Because it’s what she’s dreamed of, by her side all her life.
However, hearing it directly from the mouth of the person concerned is obviously different in destructive power. Arwen was experiencing that destructive power with her naked body.
“Ehehehe.”
She smiled at Arwen, who had been screaming.
If someone she didn’t know saw her, she would have pointed the finger at her as a crazy woman, but unfortunately Arwen now thought to be kind enough to turn a blind eye to such a thing.
And that kind of smile was also really awkward. When was the last time you laughed in front of someone?
She
She, of course, she sometimes let out a stupid laugh when she was alone with Veris, but that was only on a few occasions.
“Me too… ….”
Arwen twisted her body on her bed.
Recall Berris, who often appeared in her dreams, in her wedding attire.
Her face makes her blush. And…… She whispered her love for him and the two men and women lay on her bed… ….
“hehehe.”
It feels like her humming song comes out naturally.
Of course, one never knows what adversity will stand in their way.
However, with her current happiness, Arwen felt like her consciousness would be blown away.
