The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today

The princess is lifted up.

On the way back to the entrance of the forest, which ended the Yeocha Yeocha attack and announced the start of the hunting competition again.

“Please take it down.”

“I don’t like it.”

Even now, the princess and I were arguing and fighting.

“I asked you to come down.”

“My ears are very good at hearing, so you don’t have to stress it.”

“····.”

To explain the reason in a nutshell, it can be said that it is because I am currently carrying Rebecca.

But there was a reason why I had no choice but to be like this.

“…why does someone who can’t walk keep asking me to get down?”

magic exhaustion.

A kind of aftermath of using magic in which the body loses strength without being able to use magic after using magic to exceed one’s own limits.

It was because Rebecca was suffering the aftereffects that were nothing but the exclusive possessions of wizards.

In fact, it was a situation that had already been foreseen.

Me and the Crown Prince didn’t just hunt in one place, they had moved quite a distance from the entrance.

I ran through that street without taking a break while continuing to apply the Haste magic.

If we really assumed that Rebecca had the talent of a natural magician, it would not have reached magical exhaustion.

Unfortunately, Princess Munchkin didn’t have that level of talent.

It was only natural for a princess with superior physical abilities to suffer from magical exhaustion.

And, as I said before, on the subject of not being able to walk alone.

“Anyway, please get off.”

“····.”

Rebecca kept on carrying me from behind and begging me to get off.

Even if I lowered it, my legs wouldn’t have enough strength, so it would be difficult to get up on my own.

I couldn’t understand why you were so stubborn.

“Do you mind?”

“······yes?”

“Does your fiance look different today because you put it on your fiancee’s back?”

So I decided to throw a stone into the lake.

I also wondered what kind of heart the princess would have on me now.

“····.”

Rebecca remained silent as to whether the stone I threw inadvertently came in as a critical hit.

I thought it was cowardly to answer silently because I had nothing to say.

In conclusion, the goal of quelling the dissatisfaction of the princess who was carried was a success, so it was a stone throwing that had some income.

bum- bum-

It was nice to hear the sound of the grass with every step I took.

The sun is also slowly falling, giving off the energy of the sunset, so the shadows are slowly starting to appear, showing the princess and me carrying them.

By the way, our pathetic heroine had already slipped out and disappeared in the distance.

Did he say that he couldn’t take care of me and the princess in dyeing any more? When Rebecca heard the story, she blushed in anger, asking what kind of salting it was.

– If you are, that’s it. Anyway, I lost, I’ll go first, so both of you come slowly.

The prince covered his ears as if he didn’t want to hear any more and ran away.

It was a conversation at such a level that it was doubtful whether this was really the conversation between the prince of this empire and the next duke.

Thinking about it now, I think that Mikhail may have taken care of me and the princess in her own way.

At least until now, the prince I have personally experienced was not a person who thoughtlessly acted like a child.

It was clear that he had made time to be alone with his fiancee for me, who I thought was getting closer.

Later, when I became Count Xernias and participated in the nobility council.

If he took his side as the emperor, Mikhail was effectively gaining the power of two families: the Duke of Valencia and the Count of Xernias.

There was a good chance that this was also the insight of the Crown Prince who looked into the future.

······ Of course, considering the expressions Mikhail was making at the time, it may have been that she really didn’t want to see me and Rebecca dyeing their hair, so they ran away.

This was a truth that only the party involved, Mikhail, would know.

“Isn’t it heavy?”

As I was walking silently with those thoughts in mind, Rebecca spoke to me in a voice that was a little worried.

Perhaps the reason I lost my words was because I was carrying myself and using my strength.

“It’s not heavy at all, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

It could be asserted with certainty that that thought was the princess’s misunderstanding.

Considering the weight of the dress Rebecca is wearing, I think Rebecca’s concerns may be right to some extent.

Since the Duke of Valencia, the number one family in the empire, could not have had money, the dress Rebecca was wearing was of course a dress with lightening magic.

“I think you should eat a little more normally.”

Rather, the worries arose from my side.

No matter how heavy the clothes are, the weight of the princess on me was much lighter than I thought.

Seriously, I also thought, ‘When Rebecca is eating, should I monitor her eating properly?’

“····.”

Rebecca didn’t speak any further.

Did I feel embarrassed to say that I was too light rather than heavy?

I wanted to turn my head to check Rebecca’s expression and the color of her face, but unfortunately, if I turn my head, there is no one who can check the many obstacles in the forest for me.

It was a wise choice to endure that desire.

“Did you enjoy chatting with the young girls?”

I asked in a low voice about the princess when I was away.

“… it wasn’t fun.”

Then, Rebecca answered with her usual fat voice, wondering where the unfamiliar voice had gone.

How could the voice change in such an instant if the place at that time was not fun?

It was such a funny sight to think that the fiancee with a sulky expression befitting this voice was sitting among the friendly noble girls.

“·······Suck.”

I tried to hold back, but a small laugh came out.

“·······What makes you laugh so much?”

Naturally, Rebecca had been questioning the sudden burst of laughter.

“······The current situation is quite satisfactory, so I laughed.”

Suddenly, in a corner, I spit out any words that came to my mind.

“…is this a satisfactory situation now?”

“How many chances do you have to take your fiancée for a walk in the woods like this?”

“It’s… it is.”

Fortunately, Rebecca nodded, as if in agreement with my excuse that it would never happen.

I was really happy.

I was worried that the thought of you sitting in such a situation would make me laugh and have to confess that it was funny.

I’m really glad that such a terrible thing didn’t happen.

“There was talk of a handkerchief.”

Rebecca, who had her doubts about my sudden burst of laughter, continued.

“If it’s a handkerchief…”

“Who gave the handkerchief to whom, and who gave the handkerchief. We were having a conversation like this.”

After all, this time around, there was a place to sit together because of the hunting competition.

In a way, it was natural for the topic of conversation to flow to stories related to hunting competitions.

“Did you talk?”

“······What.”

“The princess gave me a handkerchief she made herself, my fiancee. Did you tell the girls?”

“Do you make such a big fuss when you receive it and want other young girls to not know about it?”

“····.”

I had nothing to say.

It’s true that I didn’t get down on my knees like other spirits and nobles.

But what to do?

“I wanted to try it.”

“····.”

It’s something I’ve been wanting to try.

“Isn’t it a bit like the male protagonist of a romance novel?”

How do you put up with a situation where you could become the protagonist of a real romance novel?

I’ve been saying this over and over, but I didn’t think I was a normal human either.

“Really, such a conscientious person is my fiancée.”

Rebecca heard my brazen remark and let out a groan in a voice covered in dark clouds.

“So, how was Princess Princess?”

“····.”

“When I kissed my hand. The princess must have had the same thoughts.”

I continued to ask the princess without giving her time to breathe.

It’s true that I was a little angered by the fact that I didn’t have a conscience, but it was because I had a strong desire to make fun of Rebecca.

I asked Rebecca’s feelings at the time.

“… it wasn’t bad.”

Contrary to what I expected to be able to hear after quite some time.

“······Yes?”

“It wasn’t bad. A kiss on the back of the hand.”

It didn’t take long for Rebecca’s answer to come.

“····.”

This time I was speechless.

Even if the princess had answered, I thought she would give me a negative answer like, ‘Is that good?’

I never thought that I would immediately rate it as not bad.

I didn’t think they would suddenly attack me in this way…

“······handkerchief.”

“Yes?”

“The handkerchief I made. How long will you carry?”

Besides, Rebecca didn’t stop there.

I wonder if he was going to see the end this time, he even brought out words like that that I would not have been able to bring out easily in a normal way and talked to me.

Drunk in this sweet and sticky atmosphere.

“Who gave it to you. Are you asking how much you’re going to carry with you?”

“····.”

“Don’t worry, I will treasure it more than my life and carry it with me for the rest of my life.”

As if possessed, he brought out the truth he had hidden deep in his heart.

The time of silence came again.

I could only hear the rustling of the grass under my feet, and the sound of Rebecca’s breathing, conscious of me and trying to exhale as little as possible.

In this awkward scene of silence where they are very conscious of each other.

Awkward-

Rebecca’s arm, which was wrapped around my neck to lift me up, got stronger.

“…a princess?”

“…don’t value it more than your life.”

“····.”

After those last words, we returned to the entrance of the forest without talking to each other.

As if it were a joke from God. It was only after returning to the entrance of the forest that the princess’s magical exhaustion was alleviated and she was able to stop carrying Rebecca.

And, I didn’t say anything.

The fact that Rebecca’s face, which had descended from my back, was flushed red, was a fact that I didn’t even have to say anymore.
