When I Saved a Girl Who Was About to Be Kidnapped and It Turned Out to Be a Princess Who Had Come to Visit in Secret
“compromise?”
It was not Luna, who was told by Rion, but Ay;a chan who asked that question.
Luna had a gentle smile on her face, as if to say, ‘I knew you would say that.’
“Because, you know, it’s not surprising that I would think so. Arcadia-san was planning to take a trip as an alternative to getting engaged, and to find the man of her dreams there. But, normally, such opportunities don’t come along that often, and even sneaking out under the watchful eye of an escort is limited to once, isn’t it? So I think she’s compromising by forcing herself to believe that Seito, who saved her, is the one she’s destined for.”
It’s no wonder Rion thinks so.
In any case, Luna and I are completely unequal in terms of position, family background, and appearance.
But it’s not right that Luna has chosen me as her fiancée.
Now that I know what Luna’s situation was, it seems to me that she wanted to choose her own fiancé and chose me so that she would not have to marry her predetermined fiancé.
If she had to return to Arcadia without finding the man of her dreams, Luna would never have had another chance to decide on a fiancée on her own.
That was the part that stuck with me, too.
“Luna-sama is not the kind of person who–“
“Ayla, please refrain. Let me give you my own explanation.”
When Ayla chan tried to deny it with disapproval, Luna restrained her with her hand.
From here, it seems like she will explain it herself again.
“I don’t know Rion-sama, so I think it’s natural for you to make that assumption.”
Luna glanced at me as she said that.
And then she smiled, so maybe it was obvious that not only Rion was thinking the same thing, but I was also thinking the same thing.
It can’t be helped because Rion doesn’t know, but I thought she said with a smile, “You should know.”
“So?”
“First of all, I contacted them myself and had Ayla and the others come to pick me up. In other words, I was in a situation where I could still continue my search for my destiny if I wanted to.”
Indeed, Luna had made the call herself.
That must have been the other glass woman, not Ayla, because she was yelling over the phone
They would not have known where Luna was until then.
Because if they had found out, they would have come to bring her back immediately.
…… Well, it is possible that Ayla, who had Luna’s breath from the beginning, knew Luna’s location just in case she did.
“So you are saying that your choice of Seito was not a compromise? But Arcadia-san must have known that it is not so easy to find the partner of one’s dreams.
So, there is still a possibility that she compromised by choosing Seito, who helped her out.”
Rion was still not convinced and said that Luna’s claim was incorrect.
I was on Rion’s side too, so I decided to sit on the sidelines and not interfere.
“Seito-sama didn’t hesitate to come to my rescue as I was being seized by two well-built men. And he did not suspect me, a suspicious person with no known identity, but did what I asked of him and hid me. For that reason alone, I think Seito-sama’s character is very commendable.”
“Isn’t that because Arcadia-san was a cute girl?”
Because she was a cute girl, I saved her and hid her, Rion insists.
But –
“Rion-sama, do you think that Seito-sama is the one who changes whether he helps or not depending on the person he is helping?”
Luna answered Rion’s question with a smile.
This made Rion gasp.
“I don’t think …… that ……”
“Me too. If he has ulterior motives, I’ll know right away. But Seito-sama, he helped me with pure feelings.”
“You don’t know that…I just know because we’ve known each other for a long time…”
“No, I understand. Seito-sama didn’t put a hand on me when I was wearing the same clothes Ayla mentioned earlier. I was sleeping with him for many days, right”
When Luna explained this, Rion’s questioning gaze turned to me.
Since Ayla-chan had not mentioned this, Rion must have just learned about it for the first time.
Thanks to this, she now has more things to be angry about.
“That’s not all. Not knowing how to wash my body, I put my face in front of Seito-sama with only a bath towel, but Seito-sama did not even show any pretense of attacking me. I think this proves that he has no ulterior motive. And while we were spending time together, I thought that Seito-sama was a very wonderful person – I wanted him to be my fiancée.”
It seems that Luna was testing me.
Although she seemed natural, she was apparently a smart girl after all.
…. glad I didn’t give in to Luna’s temptation …….
To be honest, there were some dangerous moments when we were sleeping together.
There is no way that a man’s desires would not be stimulated by being hugged by such a cute girl in boyfriend shirt
“Isn’t it too much for the princess to be in boyfriend shirt and bath towel to test Seito ……?”
Rion’s cheeks are slightly reddish and she looks at Luna with reproachful eyes.
Even though she’s cool, she has no tolerance for naughty things, so she’s probably embarrassed to even talk about this kind of thing.
“I have a personal longing for that shirt, and I did not lie that I did not know how to wash myself in a bath towel, but I had no choice but to do so–so it wasn’t just to try it. As a result. It’s just that it happened.”
It seems that I was mistaken, and Luna insisted that it was not a test.
This prompted Ayla chan to open her mouth.
“Luna-sama is the one who thinks that nighttime intercourse is forbidden until marriage. Naturally, she would never expose her skin to a man without thought – the moment she was wearing that shirt, it meant that she was very much in love with Seito-sama. If he had been a compromised partner, she would never have done such a thing. And if she was wearing the clothes of someone who she doesn’t liked, there would be no point in wearing that shirt.”
Ayla added, and I went back to my memory.
Luna was in that shirt after the bath on the first day – which means she was in her bath towel first, right ……?
–I thought for a moment that it didn’t make sense with Ayla’s explanation, but then I thought about it and realized that Luna took that shirt with him before she took a bath.
In other words, Luna must have liked me before she exposed herself to me in a bath towel.
So she must have liked me while we were having meals and stuff together. ……
“Well, it’s not that I don’t have a lot of things to nitpick, but …… I understand that you’re not compromising when it comes to Seito.”
Rion seemed satisfied now and looked at me when she said that.
“So, what are you going to do?”
“Eh……?”
I couldn’t understand Rion’s question, and I couldn’t help but nod my head.
“The other party is all set. Our parents have also given their approval. But you didn’t know about your fiancee, did you, Seito? I’m asking you how you feel about it.”
Indeed, now that the outer moat had been completely filled, my intentions were not being asked anything.
That’s probably why Rion went to the trouble of asking me.
I close my eyes and think.
To be honest, my feelings for Rion are still not fully resolved.
But Luna’s existence had grown so big in my mind that I had to wait until I saw her again after she disappeared.
I don’t want to get involved in the royal family’s problems, but if I can spend happy days with Luna, I’m willing to become her fiancé. So that means–
“Yes, I’m happy to be engaged to Luna.”
I smiled and nodded, thinking that this might completely sort out my feelings for Rion.
This causes Luna’s expression to light up with a poof.
“Seito-sama, ……! Is that all right with you, ……?!”
“Yeah, I’ve been waiting for Luna for a long time, too, and it’s something I wish for.”
I feel like is it okay if it’s just me, and that it really isn’t a compromise, but I don’t go out of my way to say it.
For now, the right thing to do is just to smile back at Luna.
“Well ……, then no more complaints from me. Congratulations on your engagement.”
Rion says this with a clear face, then gets up and starts to get ready to leave.
Even though I was pursuing her a while ago, her attitude has changed so much that it’s actually scary.
“Even though her brother is getting engaged, it was done very quickly, wasn’t it?”
Ayla-chan also wonders, tilts her head and asks Rion.
“Because this is Seito’s problem, isn’t it? If he is being cheated or his outer moat is being filled without his wanting it, I will oppose it, but now that I know it is not so, I have nothing to say. As long as Seito is happy, that’s all that matters.”
Rion said that much and left the room.
How am I supposed to feel after being told something like that ……?
I have mixed feelings about my childhood friend, who is still as kind and caring at heart as she used to be, and who has already dumped me.
“Well then, since we seem to have come to an agreement, I’ll leave you to it too.”
As I was doing so, even Ayla-chan was about to leave the room.
“Huh? If you’re home already, why don’t you have dinner with us?”
Even though she is a classmate, it is not very desirable to let her, who is probably younger than me, out at night.
That’s what I thought, so I called out to her–
“Please consider Luna-sama’s feelings as well. She had worked so hard to be reunited with Seito-sama, and now she was finally reunited with him. Wouldn’t she want to spend at least the first day alone with him?”
“Ah, …….”
That’s why Ayla chan didn’t eat lunch together …….
You weren’t just taking Rion around and buying time for her, were you? ……
I glanced at Luna.
Perhaps because Rion was gone, Luna’s dignified, mature expression had subsided, and she was fidgeting with an upturned look that seemed to be spoiled.
Apparently, this appearance is allowed to be shown to Ayla-chan.
“I will finish my meal with my subordinate, so please don’t mind me. I will be with you from tomorrow.”
Ayla-chan said that and really left my room.
This is the same chapter as before.
fixed it. thanks
