79 79 [SIDE Vincent]

"Dear Vincent, Looks like you're in a good mood today, but is there anything good you can do?

Said Sebastian, the butler, in a hurry, Vincent immediately put his hand on his cheek.

"Really?

"Yes, I have a different look than the usual Vincent."

"... I think it's the same as usual."

"No, this Sebastian is looking forward to it."

I tried touching my cheeks thinking about it, but it didn't happen at any time.

Sebastian has been his butler since Vincent was born.

Vincent decided to convince him that he felt (...) or (...).

"But... I found an interesting woman."

Huh?

"Maybe it's the cause."

"It's not..."

Sebastian looks smiling.

(I can't. What's so fun?)

--Leave the city where the castle is.

I'm on my way back to my territory.

In the carriage... Vincent remembered Eliane.

When Nigel first told me about my fiancée, I thought it was some kind of joke.

Nigel has not been interested in women since college.

Even if a worldly beauty and an impeccable woman approached Nigel, he didn't even try to turn around.

(Perhaps there is a little mistrust among women)

Vincent was careful of Nigel's attitude many times, even though he was a prince who had to make a heir.

He's got a fiancée.

She was a beautiful woman.

She seems to be the healer of everything, and it was thanks to her that she made holy water.

In addition, I heard that she helped me build a border with Lynch Giham's city and village... but I don't know how much it's true.

I wonder if my arm as a healer is perfect. That's for sure.

But according to what I hear, she's not from a famous aristocracy.

A common man is the fiancée of the First Prince of this country?

Vincent had never heard of such a story in another country and was suspicious of his ears.

"Still, I'm the woman who liked him. I thought I'd find out who he was... more than I could ever imagine."

Vincent talks to Sebastian, but he doesn't reply.

But Vincent, who has a long relationship with him, knows that he does listen at the same time.

I entered the throne room and saw a beautiful woman.

At that time, Vincent snapped.

Hey, isn't this Nigel's fiancé? --and.

The expectation seemed to have been met.

"Some countries have been caught by poisonous women and put in crisis. I was alert to what kind of woman she was... but I'm relieved. Looks like it's not that kind of thing."

Still, the King has entrusted me with the rule of one territory.

Vincent was confident in seeing people.

But Elaine looked scared of herself.

I didn't do anything. Why? In the first place, you're the prince's fiancée, aren't you? Don't you have to be afraid of me as a lord?

I still remember clearly what I thought was strange.

Beautiful and the power of healing is out of standard.

And —— and this is Vincent's intuition —— it also looks like a woman with a clear heart.

If this were the case, it would be perfect for Nigel's fiancée.

Those who think... are still kind.

"Some aristocracy and royalty have prince fiancées who stand out as mere commoners. If I'm capable, I think it's bullshit, like the difference in identity... but there will be people who don't like Ariane very much."

Does she know that?

Half interested, half worried.

The next day, worried, he went to see Elaine and kindly decided to warn her about one thing.

Will you have Nigel's fiancée?

"Is it possible for others to think that you and Nigel will be equal during the world?"

Even if you and Nigel love each other, there are so many people out there that you don't like.

If they show up, can you handle them?

It was a question in that sense.

But she made the will to stay in her eyes strong and stared back at Vincent.

Oh...?

I don't know why I see her with such hostile eyes, but she's quite a courageous woman.

Because no woman should be trapped by a man taller than herself and not be afraid of minds.

Yes, Vincent is impressed.

At that time, Vincent regarded Eliane as "more than just".

Even if an obstacle appeared between her and Nigel, she would never be afraid to face it.

But as a result of such a strong gaze, a little bit of atrocity in Vincent tickled.

Vincent put his hand against the wall to hunt her down even further.

Please step aside. And it's not very complimentary of a woman to do that. "

Still, she didn't stray from me.

(Such a girlfriend keeps telling me that I don't want to eat either.)

Don't tell anyone you're embarrassed about chasing them.

I wanted to talk to Elaine a little bit more, but the Servant man showed up and the conversation ended.

"Don't let everybody admit you're worth it, unless there's something else."

Vincent left in front of her with his last advice.

Of course, she has the ability to be a healer and a pharmacist.

It meant showing them to everybody that I was a worthy woman next to Nigel - keep proving it.

But...

"Kuku... I can't believe you misinterpreted my words and took a pharmacist's qualification exam. He doesn't have to do that, he's got enough power."

"Vincent has been short of words for too long. That kind of thing is misunderstood. Just like when I solemnly swore to my closest friends."

What Sebastian is saying is that he had an unauthorized withdrawal when he had his close associates quit.

Everything seems to have been luxurious with domestic money.

Now the late lord's father was kind and kind, but Vincent wasn't very nice, but he couldn't miss it.

Vincent immediately pursued the matter, dismissing the inmates who had been guilty and bringing them to justice as criminals.

(But the story was followed by rumours that 'I killed all the opposition ministers' for a while... it was a little reflective back then.)

I didn't kill him, by the way.

But now that I've taken the throne, I'm living secretly in the countryside behind the mountains... if they're motivated, I'm sure they'll start over and come back to politics again.

(... well, I don't think they have the guts.)

"I wonder what Vincent is called the Duke of Ice... but you should use your strength to improve your image a little more."

"I'm not interested. Besides... I'm not good at it."

Vincent smiles bitterly at Sebastian's words.

They say he's the Duke of Ice in the first place, so he misunderstands me.

Why did Vincent initially think such a misunderstood pseudonym... but he didn't deny that it was himself.

"That amulet seems to have been a little helpful. Well, I don't think my image in her has changed like ice....."

"I don't think so."

"Why?

"I've been watching you, Sebastian. I know how much that is."

Sebastian says without changing his expression.

As always, he is a man who doesn't show his face.

(But if a woman like that were a future queen, the country would be safe.)

I remembered my stay in the city and Vincent honestly thought so.

"But you can't relax. Sebastian, I'll do my job as soon as I get back."

"Why don't you get some rest?

"I don't have time for that. Although the new dungeon is likely to be made possible by the holy water, there are still plenty of problems in the territory."

A nasty territory that must also be prevented from invading from other countries.

(Absolutely... you've become the lord of a troubled land)

But —— it's rewarding.

Vincent quickly turned his head and thought about the territory.
