108 Episode 80 The King stunned me.

As soon as I said what I wanted, the hall became noisy. I can't help it because I'm asking you to call me a princess from one country. The nobles who had remained silent until then heard a dirty curse, but it was troublesome to react in the first place, so I ignored it for now.

"... do you know what you're talking about?

"Yes, of course."

The king's gaze sharpens. The sense of intimidation is not halfway to the Lord of one country alone. But I looked to the king with more pressure.

"I can take it as my nearest soldier. Or you can give them treasure enough to live and play for life. Still ─ ─"

Still, I want her.

I look at Aina again. He grasped the pendant hanging on his chest, expressing a mixture of joy and anxiety.

"... my daughter Aina is a good kid. It's not official yet, but eventually I'm thinking of getting married to a brave man."

Really?

Oh, I see. Did Eina say "fiancée" before about Relix?

─ ─ But it doesn't change what I want.

"If I can't make my wish come true... I don't want anything anymore. I'm going home."

"You're not going to get paid?

"The less I want her, the less I want her for money and honor."

If you accept the money and honor on Eina's behalf here, your feelings for her will be 'that much'. I'm sorry about that.

"... you're going to tell me something that's troubling. I am not ashamed enough to swallow the words I have spoken to the greatest meritorious man who saved the kingdom's crisis. However, I can't think of a price comparable to what you want."

Once the king shuts up to think, he opens his mouth again.

"Why do you want my daughter Aina in the first place?"

"Because I love her."

Ah, I accidentally abandoned it. That might have been rude in front of the king.

The king who heard my answer turned to Aina with a surprising look. She shuts her eyes and holds the pendant with both hands.

"It's Aina. What do you think?

Eina opened her eyes to the king's question and looked like she had made up her mind.

"... Yukina-san. You have a dagger, don't you?

"Dagger... ah, ahh. Is that it?"

I didn't know what I was talking about at first, but I nodded thinking it was something my grandfather gave me.

"Can you let me out now?"

As they say, I take a sheathed dagger out of my pocket. Seeing it at first glance, the king's expression turned into a surprise.

"If that's....."

"Father, I have dedicated my sword to him ─ ─ Yukina. You know what that means."

Aina's words made another noise in the hall.

As a matter of fact, I understand that this sword was given to me by Eina through my grandfather. However, I don't know why. The king and the nobles seem to know.

"That's... yours ─ ─"

"Yes, it's my lie and falsehood."

As she raised her cheeks and remained steadfast, Aina said to the king.

"I love Yukina. His wish is also mine. I want to be his."

I feel like I've been rewarded for this battle just by listening to what I just said. Until then, my chest was filled with joy.

You're so tense that you're about to wake up to new abilities again, buddy!?

Is that so?

I don't know!

I think it's appropriate.

Besides, in the old customs of this country, it is called Sending a sword to a determined opponent . In the sense that I will leave my life to you. Isn't that why you're making so much noise?

Why don't you just tell me something terrible!?

So this sword was like Eina's "love letter"? But why didn't anybody tell me that? Eina is my grandfather anyway.

"... what are you going to do with the brave?"

"It doesn't matter. Engagement stories are selfish royal thoughts, and we didn't formalize the arrangement in the first place. Because there's no rebellion, no promise to break anything."

Isn't Aina's cumming strangely?

"Think about it. If Yukina and I were joined, that would mean that we could have a" connection "between him and this country.

We fought the demons more than each other, and on top of that, we cut off a huge evil dragon. Is there anyone in this country who can do as well as he does?

Eina tries to persuade the king not only of her emotions, but also of her interests in the country.

That awesome princess. It's better than it looks. "

I'm going to fall in love with a new charm.

"I see. You're right. Being able to connect with him will benefit this country in another way than being brave."

The king spoke convincingly.

But at the next moment, you will have a majestic look.

"But Aina. No matter how fascinating it may be, he's a civilian. And you're royalty. I don't know what it means to accept your proposal, but it's not you."

"... I understand. Otherwise, I would never have revealed my feelings for him."

"Are you ready for that?"

The king turned to us.

"You are a civilian. Therefore, if she chooses to be with you, Eina will have to remove herself from the royal throne ─ ─ but she doesn't seem very interested in you."

"Um, does that mean breaking the family bond?

When I cut my parents' and children's margins, the aftertaste is bad even if I get Eina.

"No, I won't say that. However, Eina's royal partner is inherently granted the right to inherit the throne even though the sequence is low. If you are tied to a civilian, you will be deprived of your right of inheritance. And Eina can't handle royal power."

"Ah, that's about it. Then there's no problem at all."

I'm glad this isn't the only connection between the King and Eina.

"... you really don't want anything but Aina."

"It was the first time I ever fell in love with someone."

I said to a stupid king.

The king closed his eyes and silenced, and eventually opened his mouth.

Very well. I listened to your wishes. "

"─ ─ ─"

Oddly enough, Eina and I took a breath together.

"What a surprise. Because that's what you originally wanted."

"Oh, no. I didn't think this was going to happen very quickly."

I was expecting one or two boredoms. At the very least, I was prepared for any additional conditions.

"When it comes to terms, that's exactly what deprives Eina of her right to inherit the throne. And ─ ─"

The king smiled at Aina.

"For the first time, my daughter, who is usually serious and doesn't talk about desire, said something selfish to me. As a father, I'm glad you relied on me. However, as a king, it may be a slightly different choice."

"Father..."

In the gentle words of the king, Aina holds her mouth with her hands and weeps.

"Well, personally, I don't think this is the right choice."

That said, the king looks at me pleasantly.

"Yukina. I look forward to your future work. And make sure you call me at your daughter's wedding. I'm not going to cut her off."
