"Hello, princess."
When I went to the waiting room where the bride was making last-minute preparations, the Youngest Princess, Freisia, greeted me with a smile more beautiful than ever.
"Oh. Tri is here!"
"Princess, you are truly dazzlingly beautiful."
The Youngest Princess was really beautiful. I know the Princess is missing a screw, but it's a shame.
"It's all thanks to Tri and the Prime Minister."
"We're friends. Of course, I have to help with this."
Thanks to Freisia's ability to keep the senior and Princess Lily in check, I was able to live in the palace with ease and go to see Shish.
Of course, it's just that if she marries my brother, I won't be able to marry her brother.
Still, the Princess's actions were of great help to me.
"Thank you, Tei. We will be closer in the future."
"Of course."
It was thrilling to see Billau, who had cornered me, tremble every time he saw the Princess, so I nodded.
I heard that Princess Freisia, who went to the monastery under the pretext of recuperation, stayed in the villa's room for some reason. Did you say that the two of them were locked up for a week?
Obviously, there is a ruse of Shish here... I think it would have helped, but, hmm...
In any case, this became known to many nobles who visited the monastery to correct their mindset as nobles.
Billau refused to marry the Princess, claiming that he had left the world, but it was discovered that the priest, who was supposed to keep his chastity, could not do so.
After being stripped of his priestly position and taken to his hometown, he was forced to marry the Princess.
"Princess, you need to get out."
"I'll go, Tei."
"Yes, go out first."
The maid and the knight came out to greet the bride, and Freisia left the room with a bright smile. After a while, I also left the room and headed to the place where the guests were.
"Did you say hello?"
"Yes."
As I sat side by side with Shish, I heard a whisper
"Hey, the Duke of Beluga and the Duke of Milan."
"I guess it's true that you two are getting married."
Ahem, that's right.
While I covered the corners of my mouth that kept rising, the ceremony progressed.
Freisia looked very happy and Billau...
Wow, look at your expression. It's worth seeing.
I applauded more passionately than anyone else and blessed the two of them.
***
Since the married Princess had to live outside the palace, and Billau was to succeed the Marquis of Hayley. Freisia was to stay with the Marquis of Hayley.
So every time I went to the Marquis's residence to see my parents, I ran into the Princess.
"Tri, I heard that my father is holding a tea party. Tei must have received an invitation too, but would you like to come with me?"
"That's fine for me."
She was gentle, and it was good to have someone who could be my shield, so I continued to be close to the Princesses.
"Freisia, welcome. The Duke of Beluga is also here."
I thought she would get along well with her daughter, but I thought she would not like the food of a nobleman who had been dumped, but the Empress seemed to have no regrets.
In other words, it would be more beneficial for the Empress to marry the youngest daughter to the future Marquis than for me, the Marquis's adopted daughter, to marry the Crown Prince.
And I ended up with too much money and too high a status for the Empress to ignore.
"Princess, welcome. It's the first time we've seen you since the wedding."
"Duke Beluga has also arrived."
Some people were worried about my inheritance of the Beluga castle, but all those who were actually opposed were eliminated.
It was by Shish and my senior.
I don't think there's any reason for you to go to such lengths, but I think there was some kind of deal with Shish.
The center of the story was definitely the recently married Princess, and I was quiet with a business smile.
However, some of Freisia's stories could not be overlooked.
"...In fact, I have a child of Billau!"
It's been less than a month since the ceremony, and there's no way she's already been confirmed as pregnant, so the monastery must have been the beginning.
That's why my father must have used coercive means to get Billau to marry her. He has a firm belief in this area.
"I'm really curious about my nephew who will be born in the future."
I laughed as I remembered the stiff Billau.
"I also want the baby to come out soon."
Freisia, whose cheeks were red, was chattering for a moment, but the arrow returned to me.
"So when is the Duke going to hold the ceremony?"
"That's right, everyone is wondering. It's a combination of Milan and Beluga!"
"What are you going to do with your succession?"
"That's it..."
I smiled as calmly as I could.
"Of course, we should have more than two children and let each family instill their own family. Even one of the venerable Dukes should not be cut off."
"Oh, then so many times, hoho. You're going to have a hot night, hohoho."
The Count's daughter-in-law covered her mouth and smiled, blurting out.
Apparently, it was because the Empress and the noble wives, who were like mothers, also participated.
"What does that mean?"
"That's right. I wonder what you mean by doing it multiple times."
Several girls who didn't seem to know anything shook their heads, and the Count's daughter-in-law turned her head slightly.
"Let's take a look at our garden. The flowers bloomed very beautifully."
When I changed the subject, she gave me a thankful glance.
What, this much?
I replied with a frown in one eye, and the other person's eyes sparkled.
That friend looks like a good fit for me.
The tea party started slowly in the afternoon, so it didn't end until evening.
"I have decided to go to see His Excellency the Prime Minister, so please go first, Princess."
"Yes."
"Congratulations again."
"Thank you, Tri. See you next time."
The Princess went to the Marquis Hayley, and I went to the Chancellor's office, to which I had already visited many times and was accustomed to it.
Now I'm a Duke of Beluga, so even if I don't have a position in the imperial palace, I can roam around quite freely. That's why we need power
"Oh, good morning."
Shish's aide greeted him with a blush.
"Yes, it's been a long time. Is he in his position?"
"Yes!"
Ugh, I know that all men have a crush on me, but I still can't get used to it.
Rumors that the Duke of Milan and I had a special relationship spread widely in social circles, but reason still twisted to me, as if a sticky glue had been applied.
As a result, Shish, who was sharp in his nerves, quickly entered the office, wanting to cut the aide's throat.
"Shish, I'm here."
"Master? I thought I would wait until dinner, but you came early."
Shish, who was immersed in paperwork, looked up, and I pressed my palm against my chest to calm my beating heart.
Oh my! He said he wore one-eyed glasses!
"Master?"
"Uh, uh?"
I blinked blankly, and Shish widened his eyes as if something was wrong, and I shook my head hurriedly
"How much work do you have left?"
"I was about to finish it. Send the documents to the Crown Prince and sign a few important matters, and I'm done."
"Then it will be over soon, so I'll wait and go with you."
"Yes."
Shish, who smiled affectionately, signed a few papers and stood up. He called someone and pointed to a pile of papers that I hadn't seen before.
"Carry that and follow me."
"...What is all this?"
"This is a document that Your Highness needs to approve."
"It's all my business? It seems that the number of things I have to do is increasing these days, but isn't it the Prime Minister's trick?"
"Your Highness."
Sissy smiles widely. That's not something I laugh at because it feels good.
"I've only been doing what Your Highness should have done so far."
"You're stupid, so I'll take care of you, but I'm tired of it," he said, and the senior gave him a look asking for help with the amount of papers that covered his head.
But I turned my head to the side and pretended not to see anything.
Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Prince who loves the Empire, please work hard.
I wish my (future) husband would be a little freer.
"Your Highness, Crown Prince, cheer up."
When I turned away, the senior looked like he was really going to collapse.
"Then that's it."
Shish ended his greeting with a silent bow, and I clenched my fists and shook them lightly as a sign of fighting.
"Shall we eat outside?"
"Yes. Still, I made a reservation for a restaurant. It's a place with a nice view."
"Master?"
"Yes, the mansion is nice, but I think it's good to change the atmosphere from time to time."
In the first place, Shish doesn't have any attachment to the mansion, so he won't be upset if he doesn't have dinner at the mansion.
"And do you want to go out and show off your affection for you and me?"
Shish's long eyelashes trembled.
Abandoned and abused by his parents as a child, this man has a deep deficiency. He fell into a deep pit that I didn't know how deep it was, and he still couldn't get up.
I know I'm still shaking.
The unceasing interest of reason in me, my heart that may change.
On the contrary, Shish was more afraid of me than I had crossed time and space. He was afraid that I would leave him.
"Let's take a walk in the park hand in hand on holidays. After the walk, let's go to the downtown area together and eat ice cream."
In the past, Shish, who was afraid that I would run away or that others would snatch me, made me refrain from going out.
But now it's different.
"Prom means everyone attends the prom, and just the two of us dance. Yes?"
"Yes."
When I clasped my hands. Shish opened his mouth as if his throat was burning. The corners of his eyes were dyed, and he lowered his head.
Oh. I want to get married soon.
