No ordinary daughter would want to go to a monastery in this country, which is so simple and strict.
"How should I put it, I'm kind of tired of my life."
Those were my true feelings now, but the beautiful young man in front of me seemed to find my thoughts strange.
"Tired of life, but you are only seventeen years old, right?"
This is the man to whom I have been sentenced to marry, after all.
Just as I expected, Lord Nazelbert has done some research on me.
"......The Evantails are a very strict family."
"Oh, that's a well-known story in social circles. It's a house that strictly follows the rules."
To be precise, it's a house that just keeps up with the rules, which were made a long time ago and are strange rules that have not been altered to suit the times but have been ritually observed.
"Because of that, my parents were very insistent that I get a fiancée as soon as possible. They always pushed me to court anyone that had a pulse, just for good measure in case I got shot down. No one would want to marry me. I'm sick of that kind of thing."
Lord Nazelbert looked indescribable. I hope I didn't embarrass you.
But I was indeed fed up with the days of being cursed at home and outside, and I think that even in this case, the destination will just be the frontier instead of a monastery. Besides...
"Rather, as I told you earlier, I feel sorry for Lord Nazelbert. For, in all likelihood, I am not worthy of you."
My status, power, and beauty are not even close to that of the Princess.
I'm just a disgraced, disowned daughter.
"I know you are hurt over the engagement, Lord Nazelbert. But it will be all right. His Majesty will take care of it. Her Royal Highness is like that now, but I am sure that she will soon realize that she was wrong. You are a wonderful man."
Things may be a little harder now that Her Royal Highness is pregnant.
Still, I tried my best to encourage Lord Nazelbert not to be discouraged.
Lord Nazelbert is much kinder and more gentlemanly than Robin who was there. His Royal Highness the Princess, who is now embroiled in her affair, will soon realize his good qualities.
But Lord Nazelbert smiled as if he was somewhat troubled.
"In no way am I in love with Princess Mia, okay? The engagement was stipulated at an early age, and I have only acted on it because I take it seriously as my duty. I've endured many years of rigorous education for the sake of this country, to support her as the future queen. And yet..."
The wild Princess Mia has given birth to the bastard son of a baron.
"Aah, that is..."
I couldn't think of the words to continue, and my eyes darted around as I felt awkward.
Moreover, Lord Nazelbert had been accused of a crime he had not committed in front of so many people.
"But..."
We've only been together a short time, but I don't think he's the kind of person who would do something like that.
"I believe in you. You were the only person who reached out to me when I was in trouble at the party. The kind of person who would help a good-for-nothing "Potato Lady" would never commit a crime like that. I can assure you of that!"
"....Miss Agnes."
For some reason, Lord Nazelbert calls my name with a look of great emotion.
No, no, no, normally, everyone must know that Lord Nazelbert is innocent.
I was just too afraid of Her Highness the Princess to say anything on that occasion.
"No matter what happens, I swear I will protect you who got caught up in all this."
"Huh? Oh, yes. Thank you very much?"
When I replied without understanding, Lord Nazelbert shook my hands in a serious manner.
Maybe he means something like... "Even though a lot happened, I'm on your side.", something like that?
I was satisfied for the time being and headed for the room prepared for me.
Even though we are living in the same building, I am the "Potato Lady", so there is no way that any mistakes could happen.
I can sleep soundly in peace.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
