“I see. If they understand that a blood oath must be taken to marry,
Becoming a consort will be meaningless. They will give up.”
ㅤ
“That’s right. I hope they give up.
This is my problem, and I’m sorry because Prince Ishra has nothing to do with it.
If it’s known that I made a vow with a prince from another country,
There may be those who will insult Prince Ishra.
If there’s such a foolish noble, will you let me know right away?
I’ll deal with it properly.”
ㅤ
In reality, not only with Eugenis, but I have also exchanged oath with Rujail,
Depending on how you look at it, Prince Ishra might be seen as being subordinate to Eugenis.
We must absolutely avoid being looked down upon by the nobles of Eugenis.
ㅤ
Thinking so, I apologized, but Prince Ishra smiled happily.
ㅤ
“No. I had no intention of hiding it.”
ㅤ
“Huh?”
ㅤ
“The position of Emillia’s fiancé is not certain.
But if I have married into Eugenis after making an oath,
we can’t cancel the engagement anymore.
No one can separate Emillia and me.”
ㅤ
“. . .When you say that, it might be true?”
ㅤ
Rujail has already promised to marry in,
And has already moved to Eugenis, but an engagement is an engagement.
There will definitely be those who will try to interfere.
Especially since Emillia is cute even from a relative’s point of view.
If she starts attending school, she might be targeted by the sons of nobles.
ㅤ
If people find out that their relationship is not a political marriage but just an engagement,
There might be young ladies who will flock to Prince Ishra.
Now, there is no unmarried prince in this country.
It’s not strange if young ladies aiming for Prince Ishra.
ㅤ
“The fact that I married into Eugenis, making a blood oath,
I doubt Sofia-sama would do anything to separate Emillia and me now.
Thinking so, no nobles will interfere.”
ㅤ
“Even if that’s not the case, I won’t separate you, but
Speaking of what the nobles might think, yes.”
ㅤ
Prince Ishra nods in satisfaction,
And I thought for a moment, was this also part of his calculations?
But then I thought it was fine.
Prince Ishra can be happy with Emillia, and I can entrust my lab to Prince Ishra.
ㅤ
We both are satisfied with the good results, and the conversation ends.
Prince Ishra returned to Emillia with a smile on his face.

I worked in the office as usual until the regular time, then returned to the private room with Chris.
I had no appetite so I took a bath first, but
My stomach didn’t seem to be hungry.
I managed to swallow the soup, one spoonful at a time.
I couldn’t swallow anything other than the soup, so I asked to have it taken away.
ㅤ
“Princess, can you eat some sherbet?”
ㅤ
“. . . . . .No, I’m fine. I don’t want any today.”
ㅤ
“Is that so? Well, just eat the soup then?”
ㅤ
“Yeah. . . okay.”
ㅤ
Somehow I managed to swallow the last bite, and had the soup bowl taken away.
Chris also got up, perhaps having finished eating at the same time.
ㅤ
“Shall we go to the bedroom?”
ㅤ
“Yeah.”
ㅤ
I can’t sleep, but my body feels incredibly heavy.
Moving feels troublesome, and my head throbs with pain.
I must have looked like I didn’t want to move,
As Chris picked me up and carried me.
ㅤ
“Just calm down. You look pale.”
ㅤ
“. . . Yeah.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
As he was about to open the bedroom door, a commotion was heard from outside the private room.
The presence of someone approaching. This magical power. . .
ㅤ
ㅤ
“Chris!”
ㅤ
“I know. I’ll take you with me, don’t fly off on your own.”
ㅤ
If he hadn’t stopped me, I would have teleported right away.
Chris carried me closer to the entrance of the private room.
ㅤ
As the door opened and I saw the figure of the person entering,
I got down from Chris and ran towards him.
ㅤ
I jumped into his arms, was caught, and was hugged tightly.
ㅤ
“You idiot! Stupid Kyle!”
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Sorry.”
ㅤ
“Why did you leave me? It’s awful!”
ㅤ
“. . .I was wrong.”
ㅤ
“You, you!”
ㅤ
The anger that I had been holding back for five days exploded.
I was frustrated, sad, and left behind.
No matter what I said, Kyle just kept apologizing. . .
ㅤ
“. . .Kyle, go take a bath quickly.
Princess has reached her limit.”
ㅤ
“Ah, yes. I understand. I’ll be right back.
Sofia, let go just once.”
ㅤ
“. . .No.”
ㅤ
“Princess, if you stay like this, you won’t be able to sleep with Kyle.”
ㅤ
“I don’t want that either. . .We’ll sleep together tonight.”
ㅤ
“I know. So, let’s let Kyle go take a bath.
It’s okay, he’ll be right back.”
ㅤ
“. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Maybe he thought I was convinced because I didn’t say no.
Chris handed me over, and then took me to the bedroom.
ㅤ
“He’ll be back soon. I think it’ll be so quick, you’ll laugh.”
ㅤ
“Really?”
ㅤ
“Yes. Shall we count and wait?”
ㅤ
“Yeah.”
ㅤ
I thought he was joking, but after laying me down on the bed, Chris began to count.
Kyle teleported into the bedroom after 130 seconds had passed.
ㅤ
“. . .I made you wait.”
ㅤ
“You’re late. I counted to 130.”
ㅤ
“Yeah. Sorry.”
ㅤ
Kyle lay down on the opposite side of Chris.
Chris on the left. Kyle on the right.
It was only five days we were apart, but it feels like he’s finally back.
ㅤ
“. . . You’re finally back.”
ㅤ
“Yeah, sorry.”
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Don’t leave me again.”
ㅤ
“. . . I understand. I won’t leave you again, so relax.”
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Absolutely, okay. . . Welcome home, Kyle.”
ㅤ
“. . .Yeah, I’m home.”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Finally, normality has returned.
With both of them here, I can finally feel at ease.
Feeling the warmth in both hands, I thought it was calming, and then,
I fell into a deep sleep, without even dreaming.
