--I thought I'd just send him away, but... This prince might be more trouble than he's worth.

　Lilac's premonition turned into a conviction much sooner than she thought.


　Just the two of you, young man.
　The fifth prince, Barrier Reef, walked into Lilac's private room with such consideration, sat down on the sofa, yawned widely and said.

It's really cool. I'm sure you're tired too, Lila.
"Lila-chan, ......?

　Lilac narrowed her eyes and watched his brutality as he entered the room.

That's right. Lilac, you're a princess, Lilac-chan. Enough with the formalities, actually. In fact.　And?　It's just too much, actually, isn't it?

　She smirked, turning her dark, burnt face to face with Barrier Reef.

　Even though Lilac agreed that public places were too much trouble.
　But that didn't mean that she should be so familiar with someone she had just met.

　Nevertheless, Lilac was the First Princess.

　She smiled politely back and prepared her favorite tea.

I don't think so. I don't think so. Being loose is not dignified enough for a superior.
There you go, you've got your dignity!　What if the country is governed like that?　Isn't that what everyone does?

　I think that's true, but I also don't like agreeing with this guy.

　I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's a fan of your work.

　The fifth prince of Barrier Reef.

　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
　He has short cherry-red hair and a reasonably toned physique.

　He has a short, cherry-red hair and a reasonably toned physique.

　While analyzing some of the parameters, Lilac was certain of one thing.

　--This guy's not stupid.

"Really?　"I mean, Lila is a thing, isn't she? You're very good at it.
"...... What is it?

　I sit quietly in front of him and pour him a cup of steaming tea from the pot.
　I sat quietly in front of him and poured him a cup of steaming tea from the pot, all the while maintaining a gentle smile and exchanging glances.

　This is why I could see the intelligence in his eyes - and so could he.

"You're hiding your true nature. You don't know that, do you?

　How do I get him to go away peacefully?

　I've been thinking about this and that in my head, but I'm not letting those thoughts show.

"Seriously, if you say so... The prince's language is unique.
"Oh my god, you know what?　This is my character, isn't it?　It's like we're all in this together.　Are you going to join in, Lila?
No.
"Seriously, you can't deny everything with a smile.

　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　I'm not sure if you've heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it.

You can't hide your true feelings, can you?　If you have something you want to do, and you're doing it for that reason, I don't mind.
If you think you've analyzed me right after meeting me, you can interpret that as you wish, but what do you mean by ...... good?
I'm not trying to bother you, Laila-chan.

　He crossed his hands, raising his weight that had been resting roughly on the sofa.
　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've.

I'm not sure what to make of that.　I'm totally fine with that. You can do whatever you want to do.　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
"Chuchu ...... is also .......
"Lovechu lovechu.
I don't care what you say, can we please continue?
"I've had two smiles and a total denial.　That's nasty!

　I'm not sure what to say.

I'm not going to deny that.　I don't mean to deny that, but she's not really my type.　So I don't think we'll have any trouble with each other.

　I'm not going to deny the fact that I'm not your type.

　You can do whatever you want as queen, just marry me.

　It was not a bad deal for Lilac.

　Of course, Barrier Reef knew that and that's why he made this proposal.

　But...

I'd like to think positively about it.

　The smiling Lilac's face showed a clear rejection.

You know...



　Barrier Reef is in over his head.
　That's because she understands Lilac's true feelings.

　I'm sure she can't outwardly say no to the wishes of the Crown Prince and His Majesty the King.

　But I'm sure she'll make any number of moves to eliminate the possibility of marriage.

　That's not good for the Barrier Reef.

　Trouble, yes.

"Is it because of that?　My profession?
I don't judge people by their profession. It's just...

　Just...

"I'm just not beautiful enough to welcome people who judge me by my profession.
I'm just not beautiful enough to welcome people who judge me by my 'profession.

　Lilac M. Fangini is a wicked man.

　That's why he won't recognize this Barrier Reef F. Christ.


　His profession has nothing to do with it.

　But it was true that Lilac had to be careful.

　She quietly drank her tea, which had gone cold.
























　--In the King's castle, Futa's private room.


...... Do you want me to take care of Ruri?

　In the event that you've got any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.

　As soon as the tea was served to them, Corona bent down by the fireplace to guard the child.

　The two of them seemed to be getting along well, fist bumping, suddenly opening their legs at the same time, and practicing the "flop" move for some reason.
　Futa's mouth slackened as Corona advised him to move up a little higher.
　You're not usually so picky, are you?

"Yes, please. Please, please.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait.

　You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.


　You're the one who made me who I am.



You have the same eyes as I did back then. I owe the Chairman a debt of gratitude, but ...... I don't want you to have any regrets. --Go get your loved ones back.

　While Futa kicked the first suggestion and was as good as punched out.


I love strong men, by the way!


　He not only defended me, but also said


"Thank you. He's really cute. You're the one I love the most. --I can't stand the thought of him being killed in public.

I'll say the same thing I said that day.

"Go get your loved ones back.


　He's the one who paved the way to save Corona.

　Even though he may be a bit too cocky for his own good,......, Huta respects him as a worthy predecessor.

　At the very least, he is not someone you can sleep with your feet on. Unlike Pasta.

I'll check with Mr. Lilac, but if ...... Mr. Wind asks, I can't say no.
Well, thank you .......

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I can do it.
　That's how I felt.

　But still.

"May I ask why?
I'm afraid there's a bit of trouble on my end. I don't want to leave Ruri alone.
Trouble?　Well, then I'll...
Ha-ha-ha. You have more important things to do than me. You have more important things than me, and you're brazenly entrusting my treasure to them. That's good enough for me.
"......, but if anything should happen. I'm always willing to lend a hand for Ruri's sake.

　It's no exaggeration to say that Futa has handed over his entire life to Lilac. But that doesn't mean that he's become a puppet to overlook the misfortunes that occur before his eyes.

　A favor is a favor. It's human nature to think that way.

　But Wind shook his head, saying that just taking care of Ruri was enough.

You have no idea how much it means to me to be able to leave Luli in a safe place.

　He picked up his tea and savored it. Gently touching his beard, he said.

He touched his beard gently and said, "Ruli seems to be very fond of you, Corona.

　At the same time, Ruri and Korona were filling the fireplace with as much wood as they could find and playing with it like crazy.

　Futa broke out in a cold sweat and pondered over Korona's trustworthiness as a supervisor.

"With Corona here, Ruri doesn't have to worry about anything. With you here, Ruri doesn't have to worry about anything, and with Futa here, I can relax. There's no one else I'd rather entrust Ruri to.
"If you say so... ....... It's just, Mr. Wind.
Yes, sir?
I'll pay you back.
Yes, of course. I'm not ready to die for the Society, either.



　Nodding to the laughing Wind, Futa stood up.

. "Ruri-chan.
Ho?

　He bends down to make eye contact with Ruri, who is playing in front of the fireplace, and tells her.

Can you stay with me and my sister for a while?
Yes!

　From the looks of it, Ruri and Wind seemed to have some sort of agreement.
　At the very least, they had agreed that she would be staying with them for a while.

"Dad!
"Oh, what's wrong, Ruri?

　What's going on, Ruri?" She raised her voice, and Wind responded with a loose expression.
　And then Luli said.

"Luli, I'm right here. Daddy be a good boy and wait for me.

　Wind rolled her eyes at the outrageous line, and Futa looked at the maid next to her and asked.

"When did you do it?
"Children grow up so fast, little one.
The point is, it's totally your influence. ......
"Perrin.

　Corona smiled, "I did it.
　In response, Ruri also smiled as she turned to Futa.

"Perorin!
"Yes, yes, cute, cute.
"Heh heh heh.

　Petting, petting, petting.

　I don't mind taking care of him.

　But it was going to take more energy than usual.
