Chapter 152 Hes a Little Different From What I Had Imagined (2/2)

[Oya? I got rejected again huh, what a shame.]

Like I said before, can you not nonchalantly use your seductive techniques every time we meet!?

She’s the type of person who would frequently send these “love letters” to me that looks like they would eat me out alive. She’s someone who could really drag me down to hell if I just let my guard down for a bit.

Hearing what I said, Chris-san quickly lets go of me and chuckles.

I’m really not good at dealing with her. Rather than her being difficult to deal with, it’s more like she knows what the inexperienced me is weak at and she’s attacking me in that direction, and that’s why I think she’s dangerous.

Moreover, her behavior is exquisite, and her letters were all handwritten by her, so it’s kind of hard for me to ignore them, and even when we just met, she just nonchalantly made it just the two of us in here…… If I’m really not careful with her, I may wake up having done something irreversible.

[Now then, Miyama-sama. Changing the subject, I observed what happened earlier in the audience room.]

[Eh? Ah, yes.]

[Symphonia’s King is quite the troublesome one, isn’t he? It’s unforgivable for a king to put his personal feelings before looking at his position, and even cause trouble for Miyama-sama…… Harassing Miyama-sama just because he didn’t like you, if you ask me, that’s rudeness that mustn’t be forgiven.]

[……………..]

I wonder what that is? I’m still feeling there’s something strangely out of place, but I’m not sure why.

[Miyama-sama must have been quite troubled living in the land ruled by such a king? If you would like, you could come to our country……]

[……Is that really the case though?]

[…..Oya?]

[Is His Majesty, the King really harassing me…… just for the reason that he doesn’t like me?]

[……………….]

My Sympathy Magic is probably the greater reason as to why I’m not clear on this right now.

The apology just now…… That was truly an apology that came from his heart.

The emotions I feel from His Majesty, the King are a deep and sincere apology…… and regret? Anyway, I’m pretty sure that it wasn’t a superficial apology.

[It’s just my hunch but…… I think His Majesty, the King was eventually going to apologize to me, even if this incident didn’t really happen.]

[……Hoohhhh…… Well, the previous matter may have just been something that happened after “he lost his presence of mind”. The position of the otherworlders is quite difficult to measure. The previous matter probably could have been an act of impulse, and he had seriously regretted it.]

Of course, there is the difference between doing it publicly and privately, but I think His Majesty, the King was originally planning to apologize to me.

In fact, it may have been just as Chris-san said and he had regretted it, as after that evening party, he hasn’t harassed me in any particular way…… And it was different from the image I had from how Lunamaria-san talked about him.

[My guess is that he probably sent you an immediate apology in a “personal letter” rather than a letter addressed as a king?]

[……Hmmm…… Ahh…… that letter may have been thrown in the warehouse without even checking who the letter is addressed to.]

[Oh my……]

Chris-san tells me that he may have sent me a letter right after that incident, but I don’t remember seeing such a letter.

Thereupon, I thought of the more than 20 letters that are sent to Lilia-san every month…… It may have been mixed in with those letters as they’re addressed with His Majesty, the King’s personal name.

I mean, even Lilia-san didn’t know where she was putting them away, and it felt like she hadn’t checked the contents of the letter, so it may have really been mixed in among those…… Somehow, I’m starting to feel a bit sorry for His Majesty, the King.

Thinking about it, other than the letters signed by the country itself, I’ve never seen a letter from His Majesty, the King even reach Lilia-san’s hand.

Thinking about it like this, I’m starting to feel a little pity for His Majesty, the King, and Chris-san smiled at me.

[……I guess I should say that it’s to be expected from Miyama-sama? You have good eyes that could see through the true nature of a person.]

[Eh? What does that mean……]

[If you were to ask me, that man is a “snake”. Even with the fair amount of time I’ve known him, I can say that he’s cunning…… Even though he looks like he have lots of openings, carelessly step in his range and he will inject his poison on you. He’s a difficult person to deal with…… Well, I don’t like that man, and it seems like the same goes for him. We’re in a relationship where we call each other vixen (female fox) and snake.]

[………………]

[However, only to his sister would he be a fool…… No, I dare say that he’s also aware that it’s a foolish move, but still acted like one in front of her. It’s like he’s ready to ostracize himself and hand over the throne to his children if it’s necessary.]

Saying that, with a small smile on her face, Chris-san sits down in a chair and offers me to also sit down.

When she confirmed that I’m seated, she looked straight at me before she spoke.

[……I’m sure that Miyama-sama will arrive at this answer in no time, but let me give you a hint. That man is Princess Lilianne…… Excuse me, she calls herself Duchess Lilia now, wasn’t she? That man had started eliminating all the men who started approaching Duchess Lilia around 8 years ago.]

[……8 years ago?]

[Yes, well, he wasn’t as forceful before compared to how he is now. At best, he would just make them restrain themselves from approaching her but…… After the incident four years ago, it seems that he was eliminating any men or the people working for them who approached Duchess Lilia using any means necessary.]

8 years ago, that was when Lilia-san was fourteen years old…… Unnn? Wait, I think I heard about that incident before.

Remember…… If I recall, it was mentioned when I first came to this world…… Lunamaria-san said something about……

——-shattering the spirit of her “prospective betrothed”, and the talks regarding her engagement……

Her prospective betrothed…… I see, so the strange uneasiness I’m feeling is this huh……

A prospective betrothed for Lilia-san at that time…… that means, a man she might marry in the future. However, I never heard of His Majesty, the King eliminating her partner.

I don’t think His Majesty, the King would have changed to how he acts now due to his age, and at least before, he wasn’t eliminating all the men that had approached Lilia-san huh…….

And then, according to Chris-san, it was only four years ago before he became forceful with his elimination…… I don’t have to think that hard about what happened four years ago for me to know what happened.

It was that time when the Second Division was ensnared with a trap, and when Lilia-san changed her name and received her peerage……

Dear Mom, Dad——- I visited the royal palace and met Chris-san again after receiving an apology from His Majesty, the King. From talking with her, I got some idea of why I felt some discomfort before. It seems that His Majesty, the King’s heart—— is a little different from what I had imagined.

Chris is the same as usual, the precious, scheming character.

Ah, no way, you are…… Serious-senpai!? Just you wait, Serious-senpai! For you will meet your end in the next chapter……

T/N: Since it’s saturday tomorrow anyway (in my time), I don’t have to reserve once chapter for the dailies, and I could just post it directly, so here you go.
