Ash emptied the mansion to fulfill the Emperors orders. Absolutely not my request.

But no matter how far a man fled with a wizard, it was unlikely that it would take so long to catch him.

Ah my manaIve barely recovered

This is because Ash took Gyerg instead of the wizard from Imperial Court.

It was a good idea. Surely its harder to find a wizard whos better at mobilization magic than Gyerg.

I didnt object. I feel sorry for the pale complexion of Gyerg, but Ive decided to not to pay attention to it.

Cause I dont want to be away from Ash for too long.

However, thanks to the Gyerg, the schedule might have been tight now.

I hastened my steps toward the street with Bessie.

Bessie, the ring I asked you about before.

Yes, my lady.

Do they continue to make it in the same design?

So its not enough to tolerate even a slight difference?

Well, I dont know what difference youre trying to make, but in principle, you just have to use jewelry or something like that.

Really?

Yes. There are some commonly used jewelry, but.

Then does diamond also exist in this world?

I tried to recall the left-hand ring of a married couple that had crossed my memory. Well, I dont remember at all.

I suddenly grinned as I fumbled through useless memories.

Suddenly, for no reason, laughter came out randomly. Bessie looked at me with a perplexed look.

Soon after, Bessie followed me and laughed.

Its usually fine for general use, so you can choose your favorite jewelry you like.

Aha.

Thats what Im saying.

Well, I dont have anything in my mind yet, but I was grinning.

Muscle Keith, the escort who had only listened to the conversation, carefully stepped in.

Well, if you dont mind. Is this situation what I think it is?

I looked back at him, who was reliably escorting me and Bessie.

Muscle Keith, who seems to have developed a lot of muscles in his entire body beyond the proper level, was today a knight in charge of my escort on behalf of Sir Davery.

Sir Davery seemed to have something to do today.

I dont know what it is, but it seemed pretty important, so I decided to give him a vacation.

I cleared my throat and opened my mouth to Muscle Keith.

What is Sir Muscle thinking?

Thats uh, thats.

Thats right. That.

I burst into laughter that might sound spiteful.

The situation that embarrassed him was not pleasant in itself, but he just smiled helplessly.

Bessie shook her head.

Are you that happy?

I answered immediately without avoiding it.

Yeah.

I planned none other than this, sending Ash away for a while at the Emperors command.

Even if Im late for my family register and my engagement ring.

I think Im faster at this.

Its a marriage proposal!

In other words, Im on my way with Bessie to see the wedding ring.

I should also buy a bouquet. Its typical, but its a flower for a proposal. Its obvious, but shouldnt it be a flower?

Oh.

This is not my sound. Its not even Bessie.

Oh my, oh my.

The culprit was Muscle Keith. He twisted his muscular body and gave a series of shy exclamations.

Unexpectedly suited.

Oh, my God, I havent noticed. Congratulations. But whos the partner?

It doesnt seem like hes not that witty, but no I look at him, he is.

Bessie murmured small.

Shh. I quickly put my finger on her and then turned around Muscle Keith.

Its a secret. And what you know today, please keep it secret. Can you do that?

Yes, of course!

Muscle Keith pretended to put a zipper in his mouth.

All right, all right. The reason why I didnt call the jeweler home and come out in person instead is because I dont want to start a rumor in advance.

Its a surprise. Im gonna surprise Ash!

Hell be surprised, right?

I hope hes surprised.

I laughed and stepped forward in my imagination. It was then. Someone grabbed my wrist.

!

My foot stopped. The moment Muscle Keith was about to move from his seat, the other person put my wrist down.

Oh, Im sorry.

My opponent immediately apologized to me. He was a handsome man dressed in glossy clothes.

Whats wrong, confucius?

A knight who seemed to be an escort came behind him, whether the man was also a noble.

The man and Muscle Keiths eyes met each other.

The man smiled condescendingly at me.

Excuse me. I dont know that...

Who is this?

The man raised his words first.

The man looked like a nobleman. Even if it wasnt because of his attire or the escort that followed him, he looked like that.

In other words, his face and appearance itself showed it.

The man introduced himself.

Im Inner Seacomert, the third son of the Marquis of Seacomert.

It was a familiar name. The family name looks familiar.

If youre from the family of Marquis Seacomert, youve just sent me an invitation..

Thats right.

The man immediately gave me a positive answer and then bowed his head to me. His escort was startled when he pulled his back deep bow.

Confucius!

I apologize instead. Im so sorry. Ive heard that the person I asked for an errand was very rude to the princess.

Oh, thats

You mean the Lime Extract? Thats true. But I didnt expect him to apologize for it like that.

His escort was restless. It seemed embarrassing that the master of his family was bowing his head like a sinner.

Well, obviously Im embarrassed, too. I understand that hed feel responsible, but someone else who did it wrong anyway.

Thats fine. Im fine. Now, raise your head.

Are you accepting my apology?

Its not something for confucius to apologize for.

I wont raise my head until you accept it.

Look at this? I glanced at the impatient escort. Hmm. I dont think hes a person who usually goes somewhere and bows his head often.

Well, if its a Marquis then he must not be from a bad family. He wouldnt bend his back to others like this often.

I just decided to give the man the answer he wanted.

Okay, Ill accept Confuciuss apology. Thats enough.

Princess.

Immediately the man raised his head. His eyes looked pleased.

Whats so good about me accepting his apology? If I had stayed still, I wouldnt have held the Seacomertss Family responsibility anyway.

Thank you. Its small, but may I send you a gift as a gift?

Its all right.

What? I feel pressured. To be honest, I think the apology was too much just now. But the man seemed to have a different opinion from mine.

Please, if you dont accept it, I wont feel comfortable.

then do so.

Im not that harsh person to refuse by saying why I should care about your comforts.

And I had no grudge against this man. I didnt want to make friction with the Marquis of Seacomert over not accepting gifts.

Thank you.

The mans face lit up. He says thank you too much.

Oh, where are you going? If you dont mind, Id like to take you

No.

I refused at a single stroke. There is nothing to worry about this.

No. Its okay. If you dont have any business left, Id like to go our separate ways.

How can I show him myself picking up a jewel for my proposal? I dont even want to tell him which store I would go to.

It was a coincidence, but it was meaningful. So lets go our own way.

I went so far as to say goodbye so he couldnt say anything more. While the man is hesitating, his escort appears to be good.

Lets go, Confucius. Its been a long time already.

Ah yes.

The man backed away with a glimmer of reluctance.

The lingering gaze settled quite a bit on his face.

What is it?

I stared with absurd eyes at the man, Inner Seacomert, getting further away, and turned around.

***

He was definitely handsome.

When I came back from my outing and rested after dinner, Bessie suddenly said something like that.

What are you talking about?

The Confucius we met in the daytime.

I walked quite a bit all day looking around the store.

Bessie brought a basin and herbs to massage my legs. I pulled my leg out of the blanket.

Bessie said, putting the basin down on the floor.

Because Ive heard from before that the youngest child of the Marquis of Seacomert has an outstanding character. It was exactly what I heard.

I retorted in silence for a moment.

Ill tell Alex.

Oh, lady! Thats now what I meant.

Embarrassed, Bessie was flustered and the basin almost spilled.

I was looking at Bessie, who was much more flustered than I expected, and then I stopped laughing. Her relationship with Alex seems smooth.

Bessie glanced at me resentfully and put her hand on her waist.

Really, thats more of a concern for you than for me.

Huh? Me?

I mean Counfucius. Even if he pretended, I can tell that Confucius is interested in my lady.

Huh?

I didnt know what that meant, but I hesitated to wave my hand and asked without knowing.

is that so?
