Chapter 267 What Kind of Person is She? (2/2)
I would think that I am the protagonist of my story, and end up acting all cocky towards others.
[……I’ve never actually been scolded that much. No, on the contrary, I think I’ve rarely had “conversations with my own parents”.]
[……Really?]
[Yes. For my workaholic parents, “I was just a child born out of accident” and isn’t someone they wished for.]
[……………….]
He indifferently said those words, but I could tell that Mitsunaga-kun didn’t think well of his parents.
[It isn’t like they abandoned me though, but they were indifferent to me most of the time. They would give me money for my birthdays or other occasions like that, so that I could buy whatever I wanted…… But they would almost never praise or scold me for my actions.]
[I see……]
[Well, that’s not the only reason, since I think I was also pretty twisted back then.]
[If you say it like that, that means that it’s different now, right?]

This may not be a good memory for Mitsunaga-kun, but at least, he has grown up enough to talk about it as a story of the past.
I think that’s a really admirable thing to do, because that isn’t something easy to do…… And the person who changed such a Mitsunaga-kun must be……
[Yes. When I arrived in this world, as I was getting full of myself…… Princess Cattleya thoroughly scolded me. She punched my nose that was growing long back into my face…… My authority is just something I borrowed, who the heck do I think I am, she said……]
[…………………]
[……I know this may sound weird, but when she scolded me, I felt happy. No one has ever looked at me so straight and straightforwardly scolded me before……]
Mitsunaga-kun described his former self as someone selfish. And now, he felt happy to be scolded…… Perhaps, Mitsunaga-kun was acting selfishly because he wanted someone to look at him and scold him.
Just like me who wishes for someone to save me, he was also stuck in his own shell……
[After that, I tried to change…… Even if I may be acting in self-interest, I want her to recognize me and not want to let her down…… I still have a long way to go, but I still think I can change thanks to Princess Cattleya.]
[……I see.]
Mitsunaga-kun’s expression as he talked about Princess Cattleya was bright and I could tell that he really cared for her.

At the same time though, I remembered that I had heard something before, and although it may be useless, I turned to Mitsunaga-kun and slightly bowed my head.
[Speaking of which, I have to apologize to Mitsunaga-kun……]
[Eh? Apologize?]
[Unnn, I was actually curious about how Mitsunaga-kun was doing before, so I asked one of my acquaintances to look into it…… At that time, ummm, I heard that Mitsunaga–kun had confessed to Princess Cattleya…… I’m really sorry!]
[Eh? Eehhh!? You know about that!? Uwaahhh, I’m feeling embarrassed…… N- No, well, it’s not like it’s wrong for you to know about it.]
When I apologize, Mitsunaga-kun looks surprised before hiding his face in embarrassment.
[……By the way, do you also know the result of my confession?]
[Errr…… Just that you were slapped after you confessed to her.]
[Pfff, ahaha…… That’s kind of pathetic hearing what happened from someone else’s mouth. Well, it’s certainly true but……]
Yes, I know that Mitsunaga-kun confessed his feelings to Princess Cattleya and that he was slapped, but I didn’t know the results in detail.

When I only heard that story, I thought that the fact that he was slapped means he was dumped, but looking at it now, it doesn’t feel like he was dumped.
[……Ahh, by the way, the reply to my confession was still pending.]
[Pending?]
Thereupon, perhaps sensing my doubts, Mitsunaga-kun gave me a gentle smile and told me the result of his confession.
[Yes, I was certainly slapped when I confessed to her. And then, she told me “Stop trying to depend on me! You still don’t have any confidence in yourself! I will never accept the confession from someone…… whose only desire is to rely on others!”]
[……E- Errr……]
[But afterwards, she said “However, I am very happy for your thoughts. But for this reason, I must make sure that I won’t hinder your growth. That’s why, first of all, show me that you’ve decided to do your best, and that you’ve done your part as the one who holds the role of Hero.”.]
[I guess that could be considered as a favorable response, right?]
[Yes…… Also, she told me “If you’ve made it to the end, if you’re confident in yourself, and if you still feel the same way to me…… Let me hear you say that again. When you do, I promise to stand beside you, even if it means giving up my position as royalty.”…… She looked really shy when she said those words to me.]
Mitsunaga-kun seemed very happy as he said this, and I could tell that he and Princess Cattleya still had a good relationship with each other.

[After that, Princess Cattleya immediately sent a letter of inquiry to the King of Symphonia…… and the King of Symphonia agreed to it.]
[Is that so…… Congratulations.]
[Thank you…… Though it’s still too early for that. And thus, my immediate goal is to become a man worthy of standing next to Princess Cattleya!]
Clasping his hands tightly, Mitsunaga-kun’s face is filled with motivation.
I could see a definite strength and determination in his eyes, and I understood that these were the factors that changed him more than anything else.
Dear Mom, Dad———- When we met again, Mitsunaga-kun became a good young man, filled with cheerfulness and motivation. To bring a really great change to Mitsunaga-kun, Princess Cattleya——- What kind of person is she?
Senior-senpai: [ It isn’t…… Sweet? ]
This is one of those precious sugarless chapters.
T/N: Uhh… As stated by a reader, there’s an error in translation in Chapter 143. It wasn’t Lilia who slapped Seigi-kun, but the second princess, who had been taught by Lilia-san her way of slapping. I’m sorry about that. Might happen again, but I’ll keep on trying so that it won’t happen again.
