[Ririi, what’s this about an engagement! Just what exactly happened!]
[That’s….for example, besides the mad Gods, if the Majinzoku attacks us then there’s no choice but to retaliate. The king of our country has died, the successor is still only 10 years old, it’s not enough to steer the country, then, it’s necessary to strengthen our relationships with an ally]
[That’s why Ririi is getting engaged with the prince?]
[Yes. My partner is the crowned prince. There have always been many discussions about engaging us beforehand. He was practically already my fiance, It’s just that it’ll be finalized at this party. Exactly because we’re shaken up by the devils invasion, is what I mean]
[What about the Kingdom? You don’t have to consult this with them?]
[There’s already been a majority that consented to it before, so there shouldn’t be any objections. To begin with, it was that kind of story. Besides, right now the most substantial person in the Kingdom is me. Randell is only in form, because mother isn’t a person to step up into the front. Therefore, there are no problems. Right now, quick decisions are necessary]
Ririana said with a resolute expression. Kouki’s group had their jaws opened, then they closed it with a sour look on their faces.
[......Does Ririi like that person?]
[It’s not about liking or disliking. This is to build a connection between countries. It’s just that, the crown prince already has many mistresses, the amount of people would cause you to become offended and hurt your stomach*I think?*. My position aside, we cannot balance out if I’m married to the other princes, there’s no helping it……]
[Wh, why, how can you be fine with it! Even though you don’t like him, to be marrying that kind of man is strange!]
[If you look at it, that may be what it looks like, because I’m a princess from the royal family. Since birth, this was natural]
[Natural you say…...even Ririi is a girl. Don’t you want to marry someone that you actually like?]
Kouki couldn’t understand and yelled, Ririana could only reply back with a troubled smile.
Ririana was certainly a girl. She became especially close friends with the women that came from another world, If it’s about Koari and Shizuku’s girls talk then, naturally she yearns for a romantic love.
To Ririana who was wryly smiling, Shizuku stopped Kouki who’s arguing became increasingly wild. Inside where the delicate atmosphere flowed, Hajime slowly left his seat. And tried to leave the room as if nothing happened. To that, Kouki let out his feelings that had nowhere else to go.
[Oi! Nagumo! Do you think nothing of this!]
[Ha~a? What do you think I can do about the princess’s engagement? More so, this is a form of politics taking shape as a marriage? Rather, this isn’t something an amateur can even intervene in]
[Gu~, bu, but….]
