Chapter 552 Reluctantly accepting

When she looked at me like this and asked this question, I couldn't help being shocked.

At the same time, I was able to look at her face properly and really appreciate her beauty.

It was no wonder she was regarded as one of the goddesses of this game.

Her beauty was beyond that of the normal beautiful girls in the game.

With that fair blonde hair, those piercing and sparkling blue eyes, and those cherry red lips, this was a face that was priceless. One might never even get a chance to see this kind of beauty unless one was lucky enough in life.

So this was also part of what distracted me.

But in the end, I pulled myself together and seriously thought about this.

The princess was my waifu, that was all I had to say.

To say that I had no feelings for her was a complete lie, but that was only because those were my feelings for her as a game character. My feelings for her now that she had become a person were completely different since I didn't know this person as well.

There was barely any interaction between us, so there was nothing that happened between us that would let me feel that there was something special between us.

So if I were to accept this, it most likely wouldn't be because of how I felt about her.

It would most likely be because of the situation.

There were other countries that were moving because of the trade with the Dwarven Kingdom. They knew that our country was currently trading with the Dwarven Kingdom and getting ores from them, so they would want a part of that as well.

That was why they were making proposals to marry the princess.

But if they found out that I was the one that brokered the deal and was in charge of handling it, there was no doubt that their attention would turn to me.

When the time came, they would all come down on me.

So this engagement to the princess would without a doubt help me in the future when that came.

After all, it would mean that I would have the support of the country in this matter since I was married to the princess.

Since this was my new life, then I would live it to the full and accept all the opportunities that came my way. Since she wanted to be with me, then I shouldn't reject this and see where this went.

Though it was hard to completely let go of the reluctance that was in my heart.

Still, in the end, I said, "Alright, I accept."

The princess was caught off guard when I suddenly said this.

She looked at me with wide eyes filled with disbelief before slowly saying, "What did you just say?"

"I said that I accept." I said in a calm voice.

The princess blinked a few times before suddenly revealing a wide smile and letting out a sigh of relief. She then stepped forward and reached her arms around me to hug me, but that became quite awkward.

That was where my height came into play.

After all, while she wasn't tall, I wasn't that tall either.

She was actually a bit taller than me, so my face went to her chest when she wrapped her arms around me.

Feeling that soft feeling that hit me in the face, I immediately fell into a daze as I couldn't believe what was happening.

But the princess quickly realized what was happening as she felt my breath in her chest.

There was a blush that appeared on her face as she stepped back and she lowered her head shyly.

Seeing her like this, I couldn't help revealing a faint smile.

So I took the lead in the end and reached my hand out towards the princess.

The princess was surprised, but she also reached her hand out to take mine.

She thought that I was about to kiss her hand, but...I just gave her a handshake and said, "I'm looking forward to getting to know you."

The princess revealed a bitter smile seeing this, but she still said with a nod, "Me too."
