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
When I went out on the balcony, there were no lights on except for the street lamps, and the area was quiet and still.
It is a lonely atmosphere, but I don’t dislike it.
Looking up at the sky, I saw the beautiful stars and the full moon shining in the sky.
I have heard that in the city, houses and stores are lit up and the sky is not as clear as in the countryside, so perhaps it is a privilege to be able to see such a beautiful night sky in the countryside.
In the midst of all this, I mutter to myself without talking to anyone.
“The princess’s fiancée huh……?”
I get the feeling if maybe this was really the right thing to do.
Luna is a very cute and nice girl, and I love seeing her smile and being pampered by her.
Above all, I feel very happy when I spend time with her.
–But because of this, I was concerned about my disproportionality.
In terms of position, status, appearance, and personality, I don’t match Luna at all.
I wonder if I can create an environment where she, who has lived a wealthy life as royalty, can live a happy and contented life. ……?
I’m almost engulfed by such anxiety.
“– cannot sleep??”
“—!??”
I turn around in a panic when I am suddenly approached by a voice.
Standing there, looking up at me with a blank expression on her face, was Ayla chan.
“Sorry, did I wake you up?”
“Don’t worry. I just hadn’t fallen asleep yet.”
Since she wasn’t sleeping, was she worried about me doing something strange to Luna?
She’s a little girl, and I’d like her to sleep properly. ……
“I’m only two years younger than Luna-sama and three years younger than Seito-sama, just to let you know. Please don’t treat me too much like a child.”
I guess I made a face and Ayla-chan narrowed her eyes in frustration.
Three …… I’m sixteen now, so that means she’s thirteen years old.
I feel like she’s a child enough,…….
If I put it into words, she might get angry, so I won’t say it.
“I see so Luna is also younger than me.”
“Please don’t worry, she just hasn’t celebrated her birthday yet.”
I see, so she is not faking the grade itself.
I’ve already celebrated my birthday, so it seems like there’s just an age difference.
“I see, that’s a relief.”
Not in a romantic sense, but in an ethical sense.
It’s normally because she wants to go to the same school as me, and I’d feel guilty if she was falsifying her age.
Well, when I said that, it was confirmed that Ayla-chan was misrepresenting her age, but in her case, it was to protect Luna, so she had no choice.
–I had to separate the two.
“Is there something on your mind?”
I guess she thought we were done talking about her age.
Ayla chan asked me why I was out on the balcony looking up at the night sky.
“………….”
Normally, it would be better to deceive, but–
“As expected, I can’t help but think about it. I wonder if it would be a good idea for me to be Luna’s fiancé.”
I was sure she would see right through me.
So I decided to be honest with her and ask her to listen to me.
“If you compare yourself with Luna-sama, there is probably no man in the world who is equal to her.”
After all, Ayla chan must be very fond of Luna.
Otherwise, even though she is the master, she would not normally say something like this.
“Still, there are better men out there, right? You know, like her ex-fiancée, a nobleman.”
As far as I have heard, he is not far inferior to Luna in terms of status, appearance, personality, etc.
At the very least, he’s a far better man than I am.
“I have already told you, Luna-sama has chosen Seito-sama. That is all that matters.”
As long as Luna chose me
It’s not a simple matter of comparison, Ayla-chan wants to say.
“What did Luna like about me?”
I wanted a genuine question and a rationale.
Luna gave a passionate speech to Rion, but was that really all there was to it?
In terms of the time I spent with her, it could be said that in a normal person’s sense, 《we only see the surface or the mended part》.
“…Luna sama is a very wise and kind person, but she is not a good-natured person. She has been raised by various adults since she was a child, so she has a very good eye for people. Since you were chosen by Luna-sama, you should have more confidence in yourself.”
Ayla-chan put her right hand on my left chest as she said that.
As she says, it probably means having confidence.
Certainly, royalty will have the opportunity to see all kinds of adults.
I am sure she has seen many adults with ulterior motives and ambitions.
She seems like a pure and natural princess, so I thought she didn’t know any bad people – but it seems the opposite was true.
But still – my impression of Ayla chan changes a lot when we talk alone like this.
She still speaks without expression and without hesitation, but I feel that her words are filled with kindness.
Maybe she is a kind girl after all.
She’s a different type of girl, but she’s just like Rion.
“Confidence, huh ……. Maybe my character is guaranteed by Luna, but I think it’s hard to support a princess without any inconvenience right,……?”
Perhaps the royal family will provide living expenses and other expenses so that Luna will not have to struggle.
But if I have to depend on the royal family until we get married, I thought it was no good for me as a man.
I want to support the girl I like by myself.
“No need to worry about that either. Luna-sama is not looking for a life like the royal family or Arcadia.”
“Eh, is that so ……?”
I thought Luna was looking for that kind of life, because that is the standard for people who live a good life. ……
“Did Luna ever express dissatisfaction with the way she lives now?”
“That’s ……”
She did not say that.
In fact, she seems to be very happy.
But I think that’s just because …… Luna is a very kind girl and she’s just …… paying attention to me.
“Luna sama has always dreamed of being the bride of an ordinary family, not the life of being a princess. The life she lives now is a dream come true for Lady Luna. Therefore, she would never go out of her way to seek a life like royalty.”
Ayla chan’s words reminded me of something.
Luna had mentioned the word “longed for” several times.
I see,…… from the beginning, I never thought deeply about it,…….
“Luna-sama’s dream since childhood has come true and she is still living very happily. For Luna-sama, just having Seito-sama next to her is enough. Please stop thinking about unnecessary things. On the contrary, it may make Luna-sama unhappy.”
Ayla-chan smiled at me with a cute and gentle smile as she said this.
