The door sounded out in a slaained their composure and quickly questioned Ririana

[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 beenus 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 dom? 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 dom is me Randell is only in form, because mother isn’t a person to step up into the front Therefore, there are no probleht 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 stomachI think? My position aside, we cannot balance out if I’ it……]

[Wh, why, how can you be fine with it! Even though you don’t like hie!]

[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 sirl She became especially close friends with the women that cairls talk then, naturally she yearns for a ro, Shizuku stopped Kouki who’s arguing becaly wild Inside where the delicate atmosphere flowed, Hajime slowly left his seat And tried to leave the roos that had nowhere else to go

[Oi! Nagu of this!]

[Ha~a? What do you think I can do about the princess’s engage shape as aan amateur can even intervene in]

[Gu~, bu, but…]

[More is that we have to do If you do so us, I’ll knock you down flat alright?]

After Haji down the riled up Kouki, depending on the results of what’ll happen in the near future, the engagement talkwith some tiredness

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hajiroup talked with each other for 2 or 3 stories, they returned to their rooed for them by the attendant ht For such an occasion, it’s mainly dresses

[Ma~a, it’s wonderful, Ririana-sama!]

[Really……you look exactly like a flower fairy]

[Surely, his royal highness would be pleased a well!]

One of the dress candidates was chosen in the end after trying on dozens of others, to Ririana who turned around in front of the full-lengthher let out coh shew as only 14-years-old she had an exquisite charht pink dress only amplified it’s effects to the maximum Just like one of the maids had said, she had the loveliness of a flower spirit

[That’s, right Shall we go with this Next is the accessories…]

Ririana herself seemed to consent with a nod

No e, the crown prince was an extreme ladies man who resembled his father, Bias D Hoelscher, when they met several times in the past, he looked at Ririana with indecent eyes when she still hadn’t even reached the age of 10, that scums actual ability wasn’t half-baked, he called a lower class knight for "practice" while at the Kingdoht, however the fact that he will beco shaement party, Ririana intended to dress up to heraway the word "liked person" that Kouki said from her head

Ririana was also a woman She was also popular with doirl as well When she’s in a pinch, the prince who she dreamed of would appear, then they’d be attracted to each other fro, she’s even drea ether

But, it’s an ient, she accepted that she would be called for on aThat’s why, even if she feels repulsed by the other partner fro to be an excellent wife is true, she was deternificently serve the crowned prince after the party

Then, at that time, suddenly, the outside of her roo, and a large h he stopped as the knights of the Idoms ran up to Ririana’s side, the man didn’t particularly care

[Ho~o, is that the dress for tonight……it’s about average I guess]

[…Bias-sa into a lady’s roo to be your husband? why are you talking back at looed to The sao, he carried a rude tyrannical atmosphere, he continued to look at Ririana froh Ririana’s spine

[Oi, everyone leave at once]

Bias with a grin on his lips, suddenly ordered all the uard to leave He ordered again threatenly for those that were puzzled, the uards, naturally hesitated Ririana notices that Bias’s eyes were becouards to stand down

[Fu~n, when disciplining your dogs, s They’re my important vassals]

[……Rebellious as ever I see? Kuku, still the same brat that hasn’t even reached 10 years old, it hile being glared at with that hateful gaze of yours At that ti to bes Ririana who had stiffened up frorabbed at

[~!? No~! Ouch!]

[Even still, you’ve grown up It’s still not enough though, however that in itself is appetizing]

[St, stop]

Towards the violent action, Ririana’s expression distorted into pain When Bias saw the expression, his laughter becaround Although Ririana was screauards outside didn’t seem to notice

[You can cry as much as you want? Because this room has a special mechanism in place, sound cannot reach the outside Ma~a, even if those dogs entered, they can’t do anything against me because I’m the crowned prince After all, do you want those fellows to see your virginity being taken away? Ku, Hahahaha~]

[Why……this kind of……]

Ririana becas that will be done in the future, she courageously glared at Bias

[It’s those eyes Those rebellious eyes, painfully, despairing, I want to turn those into eyes of pleasure Above all else, I love teasing defiant people into subher pleasure than to have them kneel down and lower their heads If you taste this pleasure even once, you can’t live without it Ririana When I firstht that I’d want to mess you up at some point]

[People like you……]

[Na~a, Ririana Rather than after ement party, what kind of face will you have at the party? While enduring the pain froroin, what kind of expression will you have in front of the people? A~a, I just can’t wait to see it]

For exaust towards the other party, if she properly supports him as a supportive wife, surely, eventually he will become a splendid emperor, No, the heart that Ririana steeled up had already started cracking

Ririana realised In front of her was a grinningRiriana’s tears fall out desperately, in another sense, he was definitely the "Crowned Prince of the Empire"

The dress that she chose in order to not shaem was exposed, Ririana’s face blushed in shame Both of her hands were suppressed above her head, she wasn’t able to conceal herself with her legs

Bias while s to kiss her, his face was slowly co closer to Ririana Almost like, Ririana’s eyes remained opened wide full of fear Ririana couldn’t turn her face away because her chin was held in place, unknown to herself, tears began to flow froht

I prepared e, but as expected it was impossible, this is too much In reality, she wanted to dedicate her body and heart to the person she liked and wanted to becos as a woman that leaked out from the concealed armor called a princess

And, the stories of Kaori and Shizuku were recalled Appearing at the ti down the unjust, it was said to be rescued froer, exactly like a fairytale story

If she prayed for it, would she be saved Ririana laughed at herself for thinking such foolish thoughts, still, her heart wished for it despite so

In other words,

--–Save me

Then

At thatapproaching fro like a s! and she witnessed it land [Eh?] Ririana’s eyes opened wide in surprise at as before her eyes, when the spider took 1 step with its foot, it sanked into Bias’s neck! the leg pieced though

[Ow! What? Just now, h his neck, Bias as about to lock lips with Ririana’s stopped and felt his neck At that ti and onto the ceiling

Ririana watched the scene in aish and his eyes were starting to shut, immediately after that, he lost consciousness as is, and fell down onto Ririana

[Eh? Eh?]

In front of the confused Ririana, again, the spider cli onto Bias Bias is currently still covered on top of Ririana, the spider climbed down to his shoulder which was before Ririana’s eyes While staring at it upclose, Ririana noticed a strangeness froht, the spider that was on Bias’s shoulder was made of metal In front of the popeyed Ririana, the ain, ~Pusu~! a different foot froo was thrust into Bias’s neck Despite already losing his consciousness he shook! Bias started tre, so it wasn’t meant to be a decisive blow

Ririana didn’t think it’s purpose was to actually deliver the final blow though And, the girl stared quietly at the spider before her eyes If Ririana looked closer she noticed that the metal spider had a luster like crystal, it crawled up its string and s

[Ah, wait, please wait! By any chance, are you…]

Although Ririana called out to it confusedly, theto the ceiling with its 8 feet, ~Kisa Kisa~ it ht was e the hole itdown, Ririana used the torn dress to cover herself and at last the situation was understood, she umo-san]

Bias was Ririana’s fiance, just now in the place that she was helped, she understood when it patched up the hole But, still, at this tilad She gripped both her hands tightly as she held down the torn dress on her chest, Alternatively, it looked like she was grasping onto so elseI couldn’t tell if this was supposed to be a perverted reference or if this was in thetaken away

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hajiuided into another roo away the maid, Haji on so, abruptly opened them Yue who noticed called out to Hajime in feords that usual

[…Hoas it? Haji troublesoh……60 of the plan was completed]

The voice that answered Yue was slow and was concentrating on so else

[that’s fast As expected, are there ht but, there’s no reason to disarreat that there’s a party today If people gather, it’s easier to move around in various ways]

[It seeather at the party hall huh ……Will it go well?]

Shia said with a slightly uneasy expression

After all, a once-in-a-lifetireat event that’ll decide her families futures is on the line It would be weird if she wasn’t tensed Towards such a Shia, Hajime felt her Usa her hair, and Kaori tightly clasped her hand

To the s up in her throat

However, tears did not come down For instance, even if it were tears of joy, it’ll be far to early to be crying when nothings even started yet In its place, just like always, she sht smile I’m not alone My family is here too I’hts It was the charm that Hajime and them liked about Shia

Hajime who confirmed that Shia had smiled, is happy to have such a powerful corin appeared on his face

[Now then, shall we prepare the stage for the main characters?]

To those words, Shia, Yue, Teio, and Kaori also had a similar smile and nodded powerfully
