[Being completely honest, my clan is currently not in the position for that kind of thing. After all, we have to wear these necklaces throughout our entire lives or else we’ll die, we’ve got to deal with the many ridiculous situations that arose]
Just like Garuda had said, a necklace with a red gem was definitely on his neck.
[From the contents of that oath, even if someone else other than the royalty disobeys the contract, the royal family will “judge accordingly by the law” to the best we can, our lives are connected now, as it is, it doesn’t change the fact that the lives of the public have also been grasped. A radical reform of punishment needs to be created in order to enforce the laws, and all the other towns besides the Empire needs to know of the law as well…...everyone here and there are desperate right now]
As Gaharudo leaned back deeply into the backrest of the seat, he scratched his head as if saying, [I’m lost!].
[Now that I don’t know when we’ll be dying, I can’t afford to have the princess of another kingdom marry in, there’s absolutely no other choice. moreover, we’ve lost manpower because of the emancipation of the Demi-humans. There’s people fussing about everywhere. We also need manpower in correspondence towards suppressing the public, honestly, it’s a situation where the Empire actually wants to ask (. . . . .) for the Kingdom’s support instead]
[I see. In other words you’re taking back the marriage proposed to the princess?]
[Ma~a, that’s about it. We need to calm down the situation and confirm the safety of the royal family first, then once that happens, this time, it would be a better idea for his highness Randell…...or rather Majesty now…. to marry with a princess instead]
Towards Gaharudo’s explanation, everyone present gave off a, [Heh~] expression.
By the way, actually, one of the royalty screamed out, [As if there’s any truth to that foolish talk! I’ll be removing this necklace!], and they really removed their necklace, afterwards, they suddenly turned mad and rampaged around, and as if their threads were cut, they died on the spot, this was the reason why the royalty began to work desperately.
[Isn’t that great then! Riri!]
[It really is. Freedom to love…..might actually still be impossible but, for the time being, you’ve gained time]
[Un un. I’m glad for you, Riri]
With Kouki first, the members glanced at Ririana with a gentle gaze. Ririana showed a bitter smile towards her friends who were glancing at her, pleased without reserve that the “marriage had been cleared up”. Oddly enough, Gaharudo also showed a wry smile.
[With that, Hajime Nagumo. Right now princess Ririana is currently free*english accent*? If you want, the Empire will cooperate with you with all it’s might]
[Na~!? Your Majesty! What are you saying! I, I’m not……]
Gaharudo was grinning from ear to ear as he said it. Once again Ririana was riled up.
However, Hajime was taking the contents of the talk lightly and turned an amazed expression towards Gaharudo. He had enough of Ririana’s current attitude.
[Then, I’ll have to give you an airship in return? No matter how you look at it there are no merits…..rather, isn’t it a demerit?]
[Just what are you implying!? Nagumo-san!]
[Oi oi, she’s the princess of a country? Normally, it’s a place that men can’t even reach]
[Wait a second, did you two hear what I just said? Are you guys listening to me!]
[Don’t group me with you. I have no hobbies to collect women. Princess is only a title, rather it’ll only cause troubles]
[Hai-hai-hai, you guys definitely didn’t listen. No one here listened to me. …..~Gusu~......what exactly is a princess I wonder…..]
[Riri…...it’s alright…..U~u, you’re a princess so don’t worry]
[Ri, Riri! I heard you properly, so! Show some spirit!]
Ririana was completely through with Hajime and Gaharudo’s discussion, Ririana finally began writing characters on her seat in a negligent manner. At the edge of her eye, something was gathering and sparkling. Then Shizuku and Kouki were desperately trying to cheer her up.
Disregarding Ririana and them, Hajime was currently groaning, [Unununu], and Gaharudo who was trying to negotiate with him let out a sigh.
[I have nothing I want right now, just give it up. Eventually, just maybe, you’ll find something worth negotiating over…...so just wait patiently until that time]
[Nu~uuu, you really have nothing that you want? Anything you want done? Just honestly say it out. Humans always have wants. It’s always been decided that someone who says that they don’t want anything are either no longer human or just scheming something behind the scenes. …..Ah~, that’s right, you were a monster]
[You trying to pick a fight? …....Ma~a, I can understand what you mean. But…..]
As Hajime was saying that, he jerked and embraced both Yue and Shia.
[What I really want is already in my arms. “Having them with me at all times” is already enough to fill my entire head, I can’t think of anything “more” than that. Probably for life]
That’s why-, Hajime expressed that negotiations were useless. Yue was so happy she brought her body closer, Shia’s eyes were opened wide to have also been forcefully held like Yue, in the next moment her Usamimi and bunny tail began wagging back and forth and she threw her arms around Hajime.
On Hajime’s chest, Yue’s and Shia’s eyes met, both of them both laughed, [Kufufu], and smiled at one another.
[Ah~, ah~, I get it, I get it. Chi, it’s way too sweet for my mouth to handle. I guess I’ll go and enjoy the scenery on the deck…..]
Gaharudo got up with an annoyed look and quickly left the bridge. Hajime was smiling wryly. After seeing the face-to-face discussion, Kouki and Ryutaro didn’t know what to do and let their eyes wander around. Suzu let out an odd voice, [Howa~].
And a voice came out from behind Hajime and his legs.
[Uu~, it’s unfair that it’s only Yue and Shia! Ne, ne~e, Hajime-kun. “In my arms” is a metaphorical expression right? It’s not only limited to Yue and Shia right? Ne?]
[Ma, master. Although I got to experience your wonderful foot technique, will you not hold mistress closely either? “In my arms” would be nice……]
Kaori clung onto Hajime from behind, she was desperately trying to appeal for her existence. Teio sat up and pleaded to Hajime with her chin on his knee.
The person who reacted to the two was Yue.
While getting up a little, she glanced towards Kaori and Teio.
[......How unfortunate]
[Wha, what do you mean!?]
[Mu~u, I can’t ignore that just now, Yue!]
Kaori and Teio had an atmosphere as if they were chewing onto a handkerchief while letting out [Ki~iii!], as they looked at Yue who was expressionless. Yue inclined her neck as if she was thinking about something, then she slowly pointed at herself and Shia.
Then,
[......Winner]
Following that, she pointed at Kaori and Teio.
[......Loser]
