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
“unnecessary, huh …… surely that could be true.”
What I was thinking was that I wasn’t balanced with Luna.
I was thinking about what I was going to do about it, and I probably wouldn’t have thought about polishing myself to be in line with Luna.
If I could reach Luna if I tried hard, of course I would, but even if I tried hard, I would never reach Luna.
If so, I would have to step aside – and looking at Luna right now, that would make her sad.
“Thank you, Ayla chan.”
I smile and thank Ayla chan for stopping me from giving a stupid answer.
“No, I’ve only told you the most obvious things,”
In response to my words, Ayla chan returned to her blank expression and showed her indifferent attitude.
It’s as if she doesn’t want to show her emotions to others.
Well, even though she’s young, she’s still Luna’s caretaker and bodyguard, so I guess it makes sense for some reason…
“That being said, what am I supposed to do as Luna’s fiancée?”
Although we became engaged in a relationship, it seems like there are all sorts of rules and regulations for a royal fiancée.
In the world of manga and video games, you might be forced to undergo special training. ……
“For now, nothing special. The royal family is also concerned about the future of Luna-sama and Seito-sama.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Originally, Luna-sama would have taken Seito-sama with her to Arcadia, but Luna-sama and the other princesses do not want that to happen.”
I was relieved to hear that I would not be forcibly taken to Arcadia, but it was a little surprising.
I had thought that I would be taken to Arcadia right after high school graduation.
“I wonder if Luna doesn’t like Arcadia?”
It stuck with me that she didn’t want to go back, even though it was her hometown.
Originally, she seemed to be longing for a normal life – I wondered if there was anything she didn’t like about it.
“No, Luna some loves her homeland.”
But it seems my hunch was wrong.
“Then why ……?”
“I think the reasons are that she is thinking of Seito-sama first, that she doesn’t want to involve him in the royal family’s troubles and traditions, and that if she returns to Arcadia, she will return to the life of the royal family and won’t be able to lead the life she is leading now.”
From what I’ve heard, it seems that Luna doesn’t want to leave, putting me first.
I’m relieved that she doesn’t have the option of leaving me, but I’m also worried that I’m letting the kind her worry about me.
But – to be honest – I’m thankful that I’m not involved in any of the royal family’s troubles.
Even if I were allowed into the royal family, I don’t see a future where I would do well.
I don’t have any of the education required for royalty or nobility.
If anything, I can barely speak English. ……
“Do you feel like the other princesses are more willing to accommodate Luna’s feelings?”
I understand why Luna doesn’t want to go back, but I don’t think the other princesses don’t want Luna back.
So I guessed so. ……
“I would guess that the First Princess and the Eighth Princess would.”
Apparently not.
The second to sixth princesses seem to have other reasons.
“What do the other princesses think?”
I was naturally curious about this kind of presumptuous talk.
So I asked.
“As I told you, the second in line of succession to the throne is Luna-sama. That means that if something should happen to the first princess, Luna-sama will succeed her as queen. Naturally, this is not an interesting story for Her Highness’ sisters.”
Well, normally, I feel that the succession is attached in the order of birth.
And yet, if the seventh princess, Luna, were to become the second in line, surely her sisters, with the exception of the first princess, would have something to think about.
“You mean Luna is disliked by all those people?”
“It is not that simple. Luna-sama has a personality that is loved by everyone, so the others do not hate Luna-sama. However, deep down, they think she is an obstacle. Because even a princess can feel jealous and inferior.”
Hmmm…….
I was imagining that they were princesses of Arcadia, the so called ideal country, and since they are Luna’s sisters, I was imagining people with similar personalities to Luna, but …… it seems that’s not the case.
She is a good judge of people, and if she has seen dirty adults from a young age, she would understand her sisters who have something in their stomachs.
I wondered what she thought about the fact that her sisters agreed with her when she told them she was going to Japan.
I was a little worried.
“Could they possibly be harassing or interfering ……?”
“I don’t think you need to worry about that. As long as Luna-sama is no longer a bump on the eye, she will not have any bad feelings toward her, and above all, if she should return to Arcadia by doing something unnecessary now, the princesses will be the ones who will be troubled.”
I see. ……
So I guess we don’t have to worry about that either.
If Luna is in Japan, she will be safe.
“But – I don’t know about the Eighth Princess.”
“Eh…?”
I was relieved for a short time.
Ayla chan said something disturbing.
“The Eighth Princess is …… Luna’s sister, right ……? That one, she’s the one who put Luna’s feelings first,…….”
“Well, the Eighth Princess is someone who loves Luna-sama. Naturally, she is the one who prioritizes Luna-sama’s feelings, but–because she loves Luna-sama, she can sometimes get into trouble.”
“……?”
I tilt my head, not understanding what Ayla-chan means.
Even though she loves her, I can’t imagine her harassing…
“Besides, the Eighth Princess, despite being the same age as me, is a bit of an idi—has a bit of a juvenile personality. Sometimes she does things that make me want to cover my eyes.”
Did she just call her an idiot?
she definitely did, didn’t she?
I thought so, but I felt that Ayla chan’s blank expression told me that “I don’t tolerate comments “.
So I kept my mouth shut so I wouldn’t say anything else.
“I think I should take some kind of countermeasure or something. ……?”
I don’t know, but if they’re going to do something nasty, I want to be prepared.
I thought so.
“No, you don’t need to worry too much about it. The eighth princess will not be a match for you as long as Luna-sama is on your side.”
As Ayla chan tells her in a casual manner, she probably doesn’t like the Eighth Princess very much.
The way she just said it, it sounded like she was not an enemy, but rather a different kind of enemy.
“Well, that’s fine then. ……”
“Seito-sama, please think about Luna-sama instead of worrying about such things.”
Ayla-chan urged me to put aside the eighth princess and think about Luna.
Indeed, Luna is far more important.
“How can I make Luna happy or benefit her?”
I asked what I thought somehow, without any deep thoughts in particular.
But – that didn’t seem to be a good idea, and Ayla chan gave me a dumbfounded look.
“It would be obvious. Please spoil Luna-sama a lot.”
Ayla-chan answered with a look as if to say, “What’s the matter with you?”
Well, no doubt, that girl will be happy if I spoil her. ……
Was it a foolish question ……?
As I think about this, Ayla-chan opens her mouth to continue her words.
“Luna-sama acts dignified and graceful in front of everyone, but that’s because she is required to be so as royalty. The real Luna-sama is a very pampered child – but only the first princess and I knew that. But she shows her true self to Seito-sama because she wants Seito-sama to love her ……the real Luna-sama. So, it is enough for you to face Luna now and pamper her a lot. And please take her to play a lot in Japan. Luna-sama has never been to an amusement park.”
Ayla-chan smiled kindly again as she told me this.
She must really love Luna.
And because I wanted to see her happy, I decided to take Luna to the amusement park on my next vacation.
