chapter 13
The princess gets 2 streaks.
“·······You were good? When I… did that.”
Rebecca can’t look straight into my face as if something is stabbing her.
The way she spoke was also different from the princess who always spoke confidently and vigorously. I was shaking a little for some reason.
As if you were really curious about my thoughts, as if my answers were pretty important to you.
“Are you asking about how I feel?”
I asked again, wondering if the princess might have sent it out by mistake in the process of coming up with the words.
“······yes.”
Rebecca still didn’t make eye contact with me and just sent me a positive reply.
Looking at Rebecca like that.
“Well. What do you think?”
Also, the desire to make fun of the princess started creeping up inside me.
I didn’t mean to make fun of you from the beginning.
Rather, it was disconcerting at first. Suddenly, Rebecca couldn’t understand the intention of saying something like that.
But after thinking about it for a moment, the embarrassment quickly turned into an understanding that it could be.
‘Am I the first?’
Even if it was called Princess Rebecca, who had a Munchkin setting, she was just a girl who had not yet made her debut at the coming-of-age ceremony.
No matter how much my opponent is me, the fiance of the enemy who has only beaten him up and made fun of him for three years.
It must be the first time I’ve had this kind of skinship with someone my age.
It is natural to have such a reaction.
“······yes?”
“In your opinion, Princess, what do you think I would be like?”
So I wanted to play more.
Princess Rebecca, who shows perfect abilities in almost every way, is so inexperienced.
People call this a Gap Moe. I don’t know who made it, but it was really well made.
“How do I know that?”
“I’m sorry. Princess Rebecca, who has been praised as a genius since childhood, thought that she would know this easily, so I asked.”
“····.”
sting-
Sharp eyes full of life looked at me.
pretended not to see In times like these, it’s best to pretend you didn’t see or pretend you didn’t hear.
It was a lesson I learned while going through Rebecca for three years.
“····.”
It’s a funny situation that the princess couldn’t meet my gaze until recently, and now I’m trying to avoid it.
It was Rebecca who spoke first.
“Don’t be silly. How were you?”
“Are you curious about how I feel?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“May I ask why you’re curious about that?”
“······yes?”
Rebecca looked bewildered at my hurried question.
It must be embarrassing to be asked a question suddenly in a situation where you think you are being questioned unilaterally.
I wouldn’t have thought that I would suddenly ask the reason in reverse.
And it was the basic skill of a teasing person to attack at such a timing.
“Did you not say that Princess didn’t feel well? But I don’t know why you’re curious about how I feel.”
“That’s because… you might have felt better than me…”
“If you’re curious about how I feel, let’s try the princess too.”
“······I beg your pardon?”
Rebecca asks me now as if she heard me wrong.
But, as I said before, Rebecca’s hearing was very healthy.
“If you’re curious about how I feel, let’s give the princess a kiss too. Then you will know how I feel.”
“····.”
“Of course, the princess is ashamed to receive this kind of skinship, so of course you shouldn’t accept it…”
“Try it.”
“······Yes?”
what. did i just hear it wrong
It seemed that the problem was mine, not Rebecca’s.
Otherwise, Rebecca wouldn’t be able to tell me to kiss her…
“Try it. Kiss.”
“····.”
“Because I’m curious about how it feels.”
Rebecca’s two pretty, clean red eyes that I had never met before.
was looking straight at me
this isn’t it
***
“Try it. Kiss.”
Outwardly, Rebecca spoke confidently.
‘How did this happen?’
Deep down, I regret what I just said.
It was something she would never have said if she was her usual.
What kind of kiss would Albert like, an enemy who only teases her every day, asking her to kiss her?
It would have been better if I had asked for a chance to slap one of them hard, but I wouldn’t have asked for such shameful skinship.
Still, she said those words.
‘······I hate it.’
I hate her fiancée so much that she doesn’t mind even after receiving her kiss.
The fact that she did it in the end and that Dorothy found it out is shameful, so I want to hide in a mouse hole right now.
I hate the fiance who makes fun of her as if nothing happened.
“Because I’m curious about how it feels.”
I uttered words.
“······Yes?”
Hearing her bombshell announcement, Albert seemed very bewildered.
The mean smile he had always had had disappeared somewhere, and his cheeks were dyed a little red as if he was really surprised.
The thought of giving one shot to my fiance, who was only beaten every time.
“Why do you? You don’t even have the guts to kiss me?”
Her mood also improved.
It was the feeling of victory I felt against Albert after a very long time.
She was always perfect.
Swordsmanship is swordsmanship, magic is magic. She was even good at studying and managing assets.
Besides, she was already chosen as the next Duke of Valencia.
I used to think that no one better than myself would exist in the Empire.
– I beg your pardon?
– Would you like to make a bet with me?
Until I met her fiance Albert Xernias three years ago.
Her fiance, whom she first met when she was fifteen, was a person who could be defined in one word.
– The princess is only that much. I was a little disappointed.
the ugliest guy in the world.
I always offer her a game or a bet. Every time he cleverly beats her and beats her.
He never competes by using swordsmanship or physical abilities that he can never win.
He was the most annoying person in the world.
At first, I was very proud of myself.
She lived with the fact that she was perfect.
A fiance who looked nothing special beat her every time.
There were times when I was depressed because I thought that I was the only person who was like this.
But even now, if I asked him if he felt bad every time he lost, he wasn’t confident in his answer.
Of course, it was true that she didn’t feel good because she had a strong desire to win.
If it’s as bad as the first time I lost, it wasn’t.
Was it because he had affection every time he fought? Or maybe he resigned because he couldn’t win anyway.
It could have been because the penalty was just a night or a wrist beat.
– From now on, the loser will grant the winner’s wish.
So I worked harder on this chess.
I thought I was going to feed that naughty bastard somehow.
I didn’t think about what to do when I win.
Because she’s never beat Albert at chess before, nor has she really thought about what she wants from her fiancée.
In the end, there was no need to think, and she granted Albert’s wish, a kiss on the cheek.
I didn’t know why he was asking for this because he didn’t even like her.
There was no other way for her to be defeated, so she had no choice but to be ashamed.
The first kiss on the cheek was not bad even though it was forced.
Albert asked if he was in a good mood because he was shy, but he said it was bad.
Inwardly, she thought it was better than expected.
It was unexpected, though, that Dorothy was caught after that.
– ·······Were you good? When I… did…
It was quite impulsive to ask such a question.
She thought it was okay, so I was curious to know what Albert thought, who received it directly.
I was just asking out of pure curiosity.
– I do not know. How do you feel?
But instead of stating her thoughts, her fiancée, on the contrary, asked her questions and watched her reaction.
As if he wanted to tease her more.
It was so absurd, and I was so annoyed that I couldn’t stand it. As a result of the unbearable, we have reached the present situation.
“······Yes?”
With her fiance looking at her with a stupid expression.
“Try it.”
She pretends to be dignified on the outside, but on the inside she regrets saying why did she say that…
From a distance, it was a comedy, and from up close it was a tragedy.
“If you talk like that, you’ll really do it.”
Albert, who had been making a stupid expression for a moment, declared as if to stop here if it was a joke.
If she crosses this line, it’s like she’s really going to do it.
“Yeah, do you want to?”
“····.”
And she crossed that line.
Because I thought I was beating Albert for a long time and I really wondered what Albert would have been like when I got her kiss.
declared without hesitation. If you’re going to do it, do it.
“······I’ll do it.”
When her declaration was finished, Albert strode towards her.
From a distance where their faces were about a span apart, they spoke as if it was the last time.
“I’ll do it for real.”
“····.”
Here, Rebecca was a little worried.
Because she was also vaguely feeling that the next question did not exist after this question.
Because after this she really knew what her fiance was going to say.
“······yes.”
“····.”
That didn’t change her answer, though.
As she expected, Albert didn’t ask her any further.
side-
Along with the soft touch she felt on her cheeks, the characteristic friction that had already been heard on the cheeks of her fiance came from her cheeks as well.
rattle-
At the same time, the same sound was heard from the door.
“Rebecca! Is that true? You kissed Prince Albert…”
Although the protagonist is not her maid, Dorothy, but her mother, the Duchess of Valencia.
“······ah.”
This time, her cheeks were red as if they were about to burst.
Again, it was a fact that only my mouth hurts to say the least.
