Chapter 142

Report, Contact, Discuss [Part 2]

“What... a beautiful sight...”

“T-This is the appearance of a goddess and an angel...”

“Why? I want to keep seeing it.”

“No, I want to watch over them...”

“No, I want to stan them!”

“What is this mixed, heart-throbbing feeling of shame and thrill in me?”

“Rose-sama... I seem to have misunderstood her all this time.”

“So beautiful. So precious.”

“To think the delicate Emma-sama is that close to Rose-sama...”

“Rose-sama... is definitely a good person. There’s no mistaking it.”

“Emma-sama is smiling... Rose-sama must be a good person.”

One hug with Emma was all it took for Rose’s favorability level to skyrocket, a huge difference from how it had been rock bottom until a year ago and only rose little by little recently. Rose and Emma themselves, however, remained oblivious of this fact.Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

“...”

“...”

“Say... William... You know, this... The evening party hasn’t even started yet...”

“Nee-sama... probably has the disease of attracting everyone’s attention at one stroke at evening parties?”

Looking very speechless like how they always did with Emma, George and William looked at the two hugging and then to the surrounding people’s reactions.

Obviously, he hadn’t said anything about that to Emma because he only remembered it now.

“...Nii-sama...?”

He is not a king who would quietly wait for a reply from Emma.

Now that they observed it closely again, in this evening party whose invitees were mainly nobles with a title above Count, the young nobles who got along well with the three siblings at the academy also got invited.

Isn’t this an inescapable encirclement for us to accept the reward?

I’ve completely forgotten about it after all those things with the ninjas, Mother’s business trip to Imperial Japan, dresses, and the normies... No matter how George thought about it, they couldn’t get away from this tonight.

“Emma... sorry... About the reward from His Majesty... Please do something about it.”

George knew that he was asking Emma for something unreasonable, but the former commoner Tanaka family didn’t want a higher title... no, they couldn’t afford it. A larger territory... also had no benefits. Money... They already earned enough, so even if they were to accept it, it would only make the relationship with other nobles troublesome.

“...Huh? ...Onii-sama...?”

To think that the price for answering the King half-heartedly would come at the royal castle’s evening party filled with nobles...

As expected of His Majesty. He is set on making House Stuart accept the reward. And yet... the only card our Stuart family can use is Emma with her zero common sense. George lamented.

“Wai—? Onii-sama? Eh? Reward? Eh?”

Being pulled by Rose, Emma was approaching the stairs to the stage in no time. Still, she noticed that George’s expression somehow looked off for quite a while now.

Emma realized it later on.

That reporting, communicating, and discussing[1] was important.
