Chapter 67 Prince, Do Your Best (2)

The following day, it was hard to prevent myself from remembering yesterdays events as much as possible.

However, when I occasionally end up accidentally remembering, my surroundings would tilt their heads in confusion from my blushing.

Haa What sort of face should I make when I meet her today

Her face appears in my mind.

Her perfectly round, large, and slightly alluring black eyes. Her thin, yet emphasized eyebrows. Her small nose and cute lips. The well placed parts of her small face, which blooms like a flower when she smiles at me.1

Supported by her slender neck, and her small shoulders which seems like it could be broken with an embrace.

Underneath that is her modest chest emphasising its smallness, on the left and right of itscentre

ku, what am I thinking about!?

I shook my head side to side and erased the picture from my mind.

Haa

I let out a sigh for the however many Nth time today.

At this rate, arent I just like a boy whos inexperienced with girls

I devoted myself to working in order to completely forget about it.

Prince, welcome.

Aah.

But time passed by on its own accord.

The time for dinner arrive.

I entered her house while feeling awkward.

I had the opinion that I shouldnt have come if it was awkward, but that option couldnt be chosen. Because without this, our interactions are equal to almost none.

Only the clanking sounds of tableware could be heard.

Unable to bear that atmosphere, I somehow opened my mouth.

Mother and Aria said they wanted to see you, you know.Aah, Chiffon as wellna.

To chose this topic from all the ones I couldve chosen

I restrained myself from nearlyprostrating and continued eating.

The Queen-sama and them? However, I shouldnt be able to meet royalty that easily, right?Aah, could you tell Chiffon-san to please drop by again?

Sakura gave a normal response. With this, the conversation has somehow continued.

Aah, Ill convey that to Chiffon. Well, shes busy after allna. But saying you shouldnt meet royalty that easily, dont you meet with me?

The Prince is different you know.

Mu, so does that mean Im special?

My heart boils with excitement from thinking that. Could Sakura also think that Im special?

After all, doesnt the Prince meet me on your own accord? Visiting the royaltys side from my side isnt very reasonable you know.

So its like that huh. Im an idiot for being pleased for even a moment.

Its not that much of a big deal though. Since this time, mothers side wants to meet you2

Even so. Rather, the royalty of this country should maintain more of their dignity.

Do you think, its undignified?3!

At the very least, they wouldnt eat dinner herene.

I see.

With that, the conversation ended.

However, the awkwardness like yesterday has disappeared I think.

Lets leave it at this for today. Victory or defeat will be decided tomorrow.

Prince, welcome.

Aah, Ill be relying on you for today as well.

Compared to yesterday, t

here wasnt any awkwardness when we met

Alright, I might be able to proceed today.

I was thinking of ways to bring up a conversation while eating dinner.

But it came from the other side just at that time.

Prince, whats the matter? Youve been restless since a little while ago, but Was it not delicious?

A conversation was started from Sakuras side. A chance!(CHANSU DA!)

No, its nothing. Your cooking is delicious as usual you know. I just remembered a little something.

Sakura looked at me puzzlingly.

I said it yesterday as well, right? Mother and them said they wanted to see you. I was thinking, if its difficult to meet because theyre royalty then,uh, if you also became royalty, it would be easy to meet them, wouldnt it?4

Ha?

Bewilderment appeared on Sakuras face.

Alright, Ill keep at it and say it!

Well, mother said it. I want Sakura as my daughter, she said. If Sakura became my mothers daughter, wouldnt you not have to worry about things like royalty?

The degree of bewilderment on Sakuras face increased. It seems shes unable to guess my intention.

Thats Ill become the Queen-samas adopted child, is what that means?

Its slightly different but the result would be that you would become my mothers daughter, I guess?

Certainly, I dont have any family in this world, but Even so, to become the royaltys adopted child is

Mu, being like this, it wasnt conveyed successfully huh.

No, just becoming an adopted child isnt a way to become royalty though For example,uh you could say even getting married would make you a daughter, right? Hasnt Sakura thought of something like marriage? Speaking of 15, thats an age where its possible for marriage as well, right?

Marriage, is it? I havent thought about that eitherne. Look, dont I have this sort of appearance? I think I lack the charm of a woman you knowne. I think something like marriage is impossible for me whos like this. Besides, Im doing my best to live right now after all.Aah, I also have this childne.

Saying that, she looked at the cat by her feet.

Theres no such thing, you know? I thinkuh, Sakura is cute, I believe you can get married you know?

I stretched out my hand and placed it on top of Sakuras hand and continued speaking.

Sakura reacted with a twitch for an instant, but didnt say anything.

Besides youll get married sooner or later, right? Since thats the case, wouldnt it be fine if its slightly earlier? Furthermore, being married would also bring stability to your life Therefore, like with me, how aboutNya~

A cry echoed out as if it was trying to interrupt my final words.

Ara?Aah!?Geez, to be this dirtyAah, these wont come off if you dont take a bath huh?

Ni~

Her hand slipped through my hand and began taking care of the cat by her feet.

Ah, sorry. what did you say earlier?

No, it wasnt important so dont worry about it.

Is that so? But I still havent thought about marriage yet. Its still a bit further in the future before I would think of those sorts of thingsne.

She continued to take care of the cat after saying that.

I looked up at the sky on the way back to the castle.

The night road was illuminated by the moon.

I did my bestna

My monologue vanished off into the sky.

I let out a large sigh and proceeded towards the castle.

Sedrim, how was it?

The following day, when the promised three days had passed, mother brought along Aria and Chiffon and turned up at my office.

Mother

Judging from that appearance, there doesnt seem to be any progress, am I right?

I was left with nothing to say from those straightforward words.

If I were to make an excuse, I think I really did my best.

As expected, its impossible for oni-sama to do it within three dayswa ne.

Did we not understand that from the beginning? We must work out a different strategy here.

Thats rightne. I wonder that sort of plan would be good next?

To have His Highness use it as expected, would it not have a high chance of failure?

Thats rightwa ne Mother, Chiffon. We will work out a new strategy once we return to our room okay.

I saw off the three people who left like a storm after they said what they wanted to say.

Perhaps, Im just being played?

Realizing the truth and thinking about the new strategy the three people said earlier which will befall me, I let out a sigh.

Haa~ Im begging you, please leave me alone

authors note

Because I was told the Prince gave something like a gross or perverted impression, I thought to back up the Prince so I wrote this, but

In the end, the Prince did his best, right?
