“Is that okay?”
To my surprise, Klaus threw up his hand.
“Of course, that’s an extreme expression, but in reality, it’s more moderate than that.”
“I think even if we become more moderate here, it will still be the animal kingdom.”
“Listen, the attendees know all that. That’s why it’s rare for them to actually be accompanied by their fiancé.”
“Then who are you bringing?”
Klaus nodded to my question.
“Usually we send a man from the family.”
“……ah!”
“Do you understand? By sending your younger brother or older brother, we are giving you time to find a suitable partner. We are opening a meeting place at the Cisena duchy.”
ah. So, in short, it’s like a meeting.
Only then did I understand.
“Most of the stories about finding a good partner at a salon are done this way.”
When ladies attending the salon bring their brothers with them, other people can naturally mingle with them.
Anyone who has been invited to the Cissena Duke’s Salon will have already had some level of recognition, so you’ll be meeting with moderately verified people.
Wow, this is so thrilling because it’s like a secret meeting of VIPs!
“It’s so cool!”
“It’s not that cool.”
“yes?”
Why are you going into labor again?
“It’s not like there are cases where people who don’t know anything, like Youngae, get a real fiancé. In those cases, there are many cases where the fiancé is actually taken away.”
“ah.”
… … It was enough to know that he was the arranger for the meeting between the nobles.
I sighed and suddenly realized something strange.
“But what does that have to do with what I have to prepare?”
“That’s because the lady took me.”
“That’s right.”
“……huh?”
Klaus looked at me with a strange look in his eyes. I also looked at Klaus with the same face.
No, you idiot. What should I do to prepare for me to take you to the animal kingdom?
“Do I need to learn martial arts to protect Your Majesty? That seems a bit unreasonable.”
“Of course it’s unreasonable.”
Klaus seemed a little shocked now.
“Even after listening to the explanation until now, don’t you still understand, young lady?”
“yes.”
“I heard if you do something wrong, you could get me taken away.”
“Uh… wasn’t it mine to begin with?”
I don’t think I’ve ever owned a Klaus Ertikef… … .
Klaus’ eyes widened as if he was even more surprised by my answer.
“Young lady, can I dance with another woman?”
“uh…….”
It’s nice to dance with Klaus, but isn’t it inevitable if Klaus betrays me because he catches eyes with another girl?
Of course, I’m going to grab Lariette and Belle and have a double insult, but that doesn’t mean I can prepare something to stop Klaus, right?
“So you’re telling me to prepare a way to seduce His Highness?”
“Are you going to tempt me, young lady?”
“Uh… do I really have to do it?”
Temptation… … what is that… … . How do you do it… … .
When I looked up at Klaus with blurry eyes, Klaus sighed deeply.
“Young-ae, aren’t you jealous that I’m dancing with another girl?”
“No, your highness and I have no special relationship.”
“under…….”
Why are you raising your voice so unusually? People are embarrassed.
As I blinked with a sullen expression, Klaus touched my forehead. But she soon regained her composure.
“Okay, I understand. The young lady is not jealous. But for me, it would be a bit troublesome if other women were to cling to me.”
“Ah, if that’s the case, you should have said that a long time ago.”
So, you wanted to say that you came here to spy on the Duke’s family, but if other women stick around, you’ll be in trouble?
Then you just have to say it like that. I was wondering what you were talking about, jealousy and all.
A wrinkle appeared between Klaus’s eyebrows in front of me as he nodded cheerfully.
Even though you said you understood, why is your expression so sad? Klaus.
“Then how can I help you?”
“Let’s make some settings now.”
“Ah. When did we meet, how did we fall in love, and how did we become partners? This is a complete contract romance.”
If Klaus falls in love with me in the end, it will be a perfect contract relationship.
Klaus shook his head at my reaction.
“You look excited already.”
“I wanted to try something like contract dating.”
“when?”
“When I was fifteen?”
“…….”
“I’m glad my wish came true.”
Why do you look so tired, Klaus?
I’m glad that in another world, I’ve realized all the dreams I had during my second year of middle school.
Oh, since it’s like this, why don’t I make a story using my talent as a roman fan?
“Then, I will come up with a scenario. I followed my father to the capital to make ointment, and one day, when I was living alone every day, I ran into Your Majesty. As I was trying to climb over the wall, I was so surprised when I saw Your Majesty that I fell off the wall! But wow! “Our lips collided.”
“Young lady.”
“yes.”
“Don’t write a novel.”
why! What’s wrong with all my clichés!
The scenario I worked so hard to create was discarded by Klaus.
After things settled down a bit, Klaus and I sorted things out between ourselves.
Klaus plans to visit often in the future to learn about the rebellion plans taking place in the duchy.
My job was to stick close to Klaus and set a firm guard so that other people around him would not approach to see Klaus.
“The most important thing is to leave no room for the lady.”
“Your Majesty and I have a very strong relationship, and no matter how much you try, you only love me… Are you trying to appeal to me?”
“Exactly.”
Klaus nodded slowly. The corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Well, it’s a nice setting.
“If the perception spreads that our relationship is estranged, the number of people who will seize this opportunity to partner with me will increase. That is difficult.”
“I also like dancing with Your Highness.”
“You said you didn’t mind dancing with another girl earlier.”
“It takes a lot of effort to even tempt to prevent that. What do you have in mind?”
I really think that men are petty and keep things like that in mind.
Klaus looked at me blankly and then nodded slightly.
“That’s good. I also like dancing with the young lady, so that goes together.”
I know it’s lip service, but it’s a good thing, comments like this.
“And the lady will have to stay in the same room as me throughout the salon.”
“Why is that?”
“If it becomes widely known that I like the young lady, someone might try to harm the young lady.”
Ugh, even though it’s not my body, I kind of hate it. It hurts.
“It’s a bit of a harm…”
“Is that so? So, the young lady is very attached to me.”
“Your Highness needs to go investigate.”
“So, even when that happens, you should go with the young lady.”
… … what?
“So, am I also going along to find out the secrets of this salon?”
“okay.”
“I… I’m not very good at sports.”
“I have no intention of going somewhere the young lady cannot go.”
“Am I not in any danger?”
“As I said before, there is no way that will happen.”
Hmm, it was unexpected to go around the salon together and do some research.
But, since you’ve already entered the fantasy world, it’s not a bad idea to join the investigation team once.
Could it be that this handsome man, who is His Royal Highness the Prince, would stab me in the back… … ?
“……Mom told me not to judge a man based solely on his face.”
“what?”
“No, I’m going.”
Then Klaus muttered as if he was a little worried.
“I’m a bit worried about what my excuse will be.”
“Excuse me?”
“If the lady and I keep leaving the room alone throughout the salon, people will ask. I need to think of a good excuse, but I can’t think of anything right now.”
Klaus sighed as if faced with a very difficult task.
But I was puzzled. There are things that are too easy.
“Tell me you had a good time.”
“what?”
Klaus’ hand, which was trying to drink tea elegantly, twitched. The teacups and saucers made a clanging sound.
No, why are you so surprised? Embarrassing people.
I just gave you the easiest and fastest answer… … .
“Just say you two had a good time.”
“No, if you ask me what a good time is….”
“Your Majesty, you have a specialty. Smiling meaningfully and winking.”
Are you not sure what kind of expression you are making? Then you have to show it yourself.
Klaus saw me winking and frowned and shook his head.
“Young lady. Could it be that you are more innocent than I thought?”
“Suddenly?”
“What will people think if I do that?”
“Can I tell you the words that will be censored and deleted here right now?”
At my words, Klaus looked like he had chewed on a bug.
“You know, but you’re going to say that?”
“What’s the problem? Is there a surer way than that?”
Klaus sighed deeply at my words. And he spoke seriously.
“Young lady. You may not understand because you are from another world. But in the social circles here, such a rumor could become a fatal scandal.”
“…….”
“I really appreciate the lady’s desire to help me. However, I don’t want to receive help that would tarnish the lady’s reputation and hurt her.”
No, why are you like this? Suddenly too serious.
