Chapter 47 Excuse

n, my head, hurts

I think its, morning.

I think that, because I can feel the light though my eyes even though its closed.

Although its morning, I dont feel that usual refreshing feeling through my head.

I feel my body is sluggish as well.

I dont want to get up yet

The reason why I think that, could it be because of the warmth within my arms?

The warmth, is trying to escape from within my arms.

Noo, you mustnt

My voice unconsciously leaked out as I clung onto the warmth.

Was it because my feelings of not wanting to let go was conveyed? The warmth stopped any further movements.

Being satisfied, I once again part with my consciousness.

gacha

Good morning, Sakura-sama. Its, morning?

The moment I was about to let go of my consciousness, I heard a womans voice.

Ara ara ara? Well well well!

Sleepy

No, this is! Its not what you think!

Next was a males voice.

Again, the warmth between my arms tried to escape.

Ah, nooo

When I tightly clung onto it so it wouldnt escape, its movements stopped once again.

Ara ara, oh Sakura-sama. So cute being half asleep. It must also be difficult for Your Highnesswa ne.

If you think that, then please do something

nu its, noisy

ufufu, it wouldnt be good if I dont inform the Queen and Her Highness the Princess about thiswa.

W-Wait! Dont make this any more complicated!

What? So noisy in the morning

n,fwuaa~

I stretched my body as I restlessly got up while rubbing my eyes.

Thats no good, Sakura-sama!

Something coiled around my body.

mmm..good, moorning.

My eyes are still bleary.

Well, Sakura-sama? I will be changing your clothesne~.Ah, Your Highness, please leavene.

Who? Highness?

As soon as I heard that voice, my body was shifted around.

Soon after I relaxed my mind, I seemed to have fallen asleep.

When I finally woke up, it was when my face was being washed as I let out my voice.1

hya, cold.

What? What is it now?

When I looked around restlessly from being surprised, I saw Chiffon-san giggling and smiling.

What happened just now??

Chiffon-san holds out a towel towards me, who couldnt grasp the situation.

For the time being, I wiped my face with the towel that was handed over.

A half asleep Sakura-sama, was also very cute you know. I was able to see a valuable thing.

When refreshed myself by drinking some water, my head was finally cleared.

The light headache I was feeling had also settled before I realized.

When I looked at Chiffon-san while floating a ? mark above my head, the door was opened and the Prince entered.

Oh? Prince, good morning. Why is your appearance like that?

The Princes appearance, in underclothes shall I say? Hes wearing something like a T-shirt, its in a terribly rough shape. Because his pants are neatly worn on, I have all the more feeling of something being wrong.

Even though you were the one who stripped me. Dont you remember?

I did? When? What does he mean by dont remember?

Sakura, yesterday, you collapse

d after drinking alcohol at the ball.

Yesterday ball alcohol?

Ah

Thats right! Prince, do you have an explanation? Such as the matter of Princess Aria!

I intended to hear about Princess Arias matter yesterday, so So?

First of all, put on some clothes.

The Prince gave me the coat that was on a chair, I then wore it.

So? Dont you have various things you want to tell me?

The Prince and I were sat on either side of the table.

Chiffon-san was standing beside the table while smiling.

Firstly, why did Princess Aria turn up yesterday at the ball, please explain.

The Prince took a large breath, with an expression of a prisoner before their death sentence, he began talking.

Im sorry. That was, an order from my mother and Aria you see

Ha? Why would the Queen and Princess Aria do such a thing?

Recently, Ive always gone to Sakuras place right? When my mother and the others knew about it, they started saying they wanted to meet Sakura. I refused every time but With the matter of me not having a fiance, I was told to bring you along to yesterdays ball as my partner. Of course, I declined it but For some reason my father was also interested, I was eventually told to choose either selecting a fiance, or bringing Sakura along The reason for requesting Sakura was also thought up by my mother.

By meeting me, what did they intend to do?

No, leaving that aside.

To begin with, should the Prince not have come over every day for a meal?

If that didnt happen, the Queen and the others shouldnt have thought up something like this.

I understand the reason. However, in the first place, if the Prince didnt come over to have a meal every day, this wouldnt have happened right? Could you stop from now on?

Being dragged into such a troublesome matter, please let this be the last time.

Eh? No, I would be a problem! Then my reason for meeting Sakura will

Ha? What would be a problem? Please say it again since I couldnt hear it well.

The Prince starts talking in a fluster with his face turned red.

No, therefore, you see. That, Sakuras dishes are, you see, I thought, Id be lonely if I couldnt eat it anymore. Since Sakuras dishes are delicious you see,un.

It doesnt feel bad being praised but

Though I have a feeling Chiffon-san softly mutteredhetare, Im sure its my imagination.

Even so, Ill be bothered by incidents like this times.

Id like to be pardoned from being dragged into troublesome matters.

No, Ill be careful so incidents like this time wont occur. A, my mother and Aria if you meet them once in a while, they wont behave recklessly, I think

The Prince unconfidently explains.

Haa~. I understand, its fine already. About the Queen and Princess Aria, Im sure they cant be stopped even if the Prince talks to them

Giving up here, as expected, Im too soft after all.

Well, I do think its a fact that the Queen and Princess Aria cant be stopped by the Prince.

The head of this royal family, is probably the Queen. And the King is the runner up, then Princess Aria and Prince Edwill by a small margin. Prince Sedrim appears to be the lower strata2.

And so, what happened with me yesterday? After the time of me asking the Prince for this story just now, I have no memory so.

Thats, because Sakura mistook alcohol for juice and drank it. It was also quite a strong one toona. You immediately collapsed after that, and I carried you to this room. As usual, I was dragged onto the bed and clung onto by Sakura, but for some reason you immediately stripped off my clothes. It was just as usual after that.

Umm, I certainly remember taking a glass from a nearby waiter

Oh, so that was alcohol

Because of that, the Prince carried me? To this room?

ufufufu, His Highness carried Sakura-sama in his arms you know? From the hall to this room.

UWAAAAAAAA! I shouldnt have asked!

Isnt there quite a distanced from the hall to this room!

Furthermore, the very day of the ball, from the venue!

What a shame play!!

Moreover, stripping the Prince what was I doing, me!

Furthermore, just as usual after that means you mean I clung onto him naked!?

I shouldnt have found out!!!

Sakura-sama clinging onto His Highness while half asleep, it was cutewa~. Even when His Highness tried to move his hand, you clung on tighterAah, I wanted to show the Queen and the others

As I was blushing in agony, Chiffon-san further dropped a powerful bomb on me.

Cling

I shouldnt have asked! I shouldnt have known!

Uh, Ive troubled you

I somehow squeeze out some words of apology.

Well its, fine.

The Prince looks away with a flushed face as well.

Chiffon-san is she also has a flushed face but shes wrigglingaround in anguish.3

Ill pretend I didnt see that

The delicate atmosphere continued on until we were called for breakfast
