Chapter 313

Marriage?

Who?

It’s not me and him, right?

I was so speechless that I wondered if I heard it wrong.

“I beg your pardon?”

When asked, Andre swept his hair back. He seemed to think it was a fatal move.

However, for me whose surrounding was full of aesthetically pleasing people, he was a squid.

“Yes, the lady won. We lost.”

“What?”

“I know. I understand why you bet on our people and family.”

I laughed in vain.

So, to summarize his words, this was what he meant.

‘The demand for independence is a political strategy for Dubblede to gain power.

If it’s about a marriage with the first prince Andre, then Dubblede will be satisfied.

So Prince Andre, who pitied Leblaine Dubblede, will get married.’

I get a headache naturally.

As I held my forehead, Prince Andre continued.

“First, deal with the monsters that flock to the island. Get rid of the things Duke Marche has laid out in the sky and in my house.”

“.......”

“What are you doing? Hurry. Are you going to act like a child after becoming my woman? If you’re going to do that, I can’t marry you.”

He said it as if he was the one in power.

That’s when Isaac exploded.

“Crazy...!” He shouted and raised his hand to his sword, but Henry blocked him.

However, if the veins were still bulging in Henry’s temple, he was ready to aim fire magic at the madman’s head.

Johann and my father were not much different.

If he were aware, he would know that his life is in danger, but as the Empress Dowager’s grandson, Andre was unaware of his surroundings.

“It wouldn’t be wise to lose this chance. It’s too late to hit the ground when you regret it...”

“I have no regrets.”

“Are you shy about being found out?”

“You don’t seem to understand me, so I’ll answer clearly.”

I frowned and said.

“I have no intention of marrying you.”

“...... What?”

Andre pursed his lips in disbelief.

He looked very surprised.

He barely opened his mouth after bursting into laughter.

“There is nothing more fulfilling for a lady to marry me.”

“I don’t know where you misunderstood me, but there is no such thing as marriage with Your Highness.”

“I’ll say it again. Take it when I give you a chance.”

“Thank you for your concern, but I don’t want to marry you.”

“Lady is lying now.”

“No, I mean it. I swear on the family and myself. I don’t want to marry Your Highness.”

“What is the reason? Because I’m too much for the lady? Don’t worry about it.”

“If you ask me why, I will dare to answer.”

Andre’s expression crumpled up, but I answered with a nonchalant expression.

“First of all, I hate that curly hair.”

“Wha- what?!”

“It’s a shame that His Majesty’s beauty is not inherited at all. The worst of all is your personality. A fool...... I don’t like your narrow mind, and your arrogance of thinking that the world is turning for you.”

“Hey, lady!”

“I don’t like that you’re not sincere either. I also hate you for never listening to the other person. Also, I don’t like your stern but light tone, and I don’t like the fact that you can’t live without reigning over others or your hot temper that causes your hands to move before using words. And...”

“Stop, stop!”

Andre shouted, so I smiled brightly.

“Your Majesty, your breath smells bad.”

“I don’t want to see you, so please disappear immediately.”

“... I was just trying to do my best!”

“You should’ve stayed still. Things would not have become so complicated if you stayed still.”

“What?”

“Don’t you understand? We can’t survive unless we took their side. I made a big mistake because I had a deep relationship with the temple that became a traitor. Far from aiming for the throne, we could be dead first.”

“.......”

As Empress Yvonne stumbled, Duke Marche helped her.

Eslon Marche sighed and shook his head.

“What should we do now? My nephew had ruined our work even before wr started.”

“Wehave no choice but to appease Leblaine Dubblede somehow.”

Empress Yvonne, Duke of Marche, and Eslon Marche looked at Andre at the same time.

The Duke of Marche said,

“I will meet the Duke Dubblede, so the prince should go find Lady Dubblede.”

“It’s absurd! Why, as the first prince, to a girl like that...”

“Prince-!”

The Duke of Marche shouted.

Andre turned pale and looked at his maternal grandfather.

Even among the nobles, a young chick like Andre was no match for the leader who always reigned at the top.

Duke Marche, who grabbed Andre by the collar, said.

“What is the reason why the prince, who is not able to compete with Adrian, has not been pushed behind in the succession line?”

“.......”

“It’s all thanks to Igor Marche. The prince enjoyed everything because you’re my daughter’s son, my only grandson. By the way, Andre.”

“.......”

“It’s getting harder and harder these days to tolerate you.”

“Gr- grandpa...”

“Whether you bow down to the Lady Dubblede, pray, or mourn with tears, take her heart back.”

“.......”

“Answer me, Andre.”

“Yes... yes.”

Andre lowered his head.

Eslon Marche said,

“I will meet the three Dubblede brothers. My sister should crack down on Dubblede vassals, and father, please meet the Duke of Dubblede.”

The other two nodded.

The pope looked at Mina, who was asleep.

Her hair, which only reached her chest before, became longer.

The priest who approached the pope said,

“She survived the 4th time today.”

“When is it complete?”

“Not too long ago.”

There was a blue bruise along Mina’s eyes. If they look closely, they can see some scales.

The priest looked at Mina’s trembling eyelashes and said,

“Today too, she has been looking for the pope.”

“I see.”

“She’s very anxious during the experiment. If the pope is with us as always, it will go smoothly.....”

Mina grabbed his sleeve before, but the pope ferociously pushed her hand away.

“Humans! You’re the only one who can save yourself!”

The face of the child shouting came to mind.

Taking a small portrait out, he smiled affectionately.

‘No, Goddess. God exists.’

Didn’t he let you and me meet?

The pope gently kissed Leblaine, who smiled brightly in the portrait, and muttered.

Ah, finally.

Finally he met her.

“My Meria.”
