91. Mine, Yours
Clink!
The sound of plate breaking comes from outside. It was strange enough to hear outside sounds in this completely soundproofed room, so my eyes and the princess’ eyes turned at the same time.
Looking back, he sees a door that hasn’t been closed yet. There is a gap in the door that doesn’t close when the princess comes and goes.
“… Who is it?”
As the princess chanted so much, the maid outside carefully opened the door. The maid opened the door with trembling hands and entered.
The maid, who entered the room, carefully opened her mouth, as if she wanted to believe what she had just heard was a lie.
“Wow, Princess. Just said… .”
“Oh.”
After checking the maid’s face, the princess smiled and looked back at me. Feeling absurd at the sight, I glared at her and muttered to myself.
No, what are you doing? give an explanation do you want an explanation?
However, she only smiled and never gave an explanation.
Until the maid who misunderstood something alone left the room.
never.

Fortunately, rumors that the princess and Ian were the same did not spread. The fact that such a rumor circulated in the Imperial Castle while my face was already revealed was an act that immediately drew suspicion on the maid.
The crime of daring to speak of a scandal about the princess was not something that could be easily repaid. A very serious insult to the imperial family that could result in the annihilation of not only the maid, but also her family and family.
Thanks to this, there was no false accusation, but Ian was quite tired of the princess who came to him every day and flirted with him.
─I came to you today.
Saying so, Ivenoah knocked on Ian’s door.
Noah, who was flirting with Ian, frowned and looked at the door.
“… I’m here again.”
Noah didn’t like the princess very much. It’s because Ian was annoyed that he became friends with another woman while he wasn’t confident, even with a beautiful woman whose eyes could turn around.
Anyway, I couldn’t refuse her visit to the imperial family, which could be said to be the house of the princess. As Ian approached and opened the door, Eve Noah, who entered the room immediately, ran to look at Noah.
“Miss Noah-!”
Eve Noah ran away with the sound of shoe soles, and immediately hugged Noah and rubbed her cheeks.
Perhaps the same Noah was included in the name, but Eve Noah was strangely fond of Noah. It’s like having my little sister or something.
“Wow, Princess… let me go… .”
“Did I tell you to call me sister?”
“… uh, sister.”
“Hey!”
Ivenoah was embarrassed and hugged Noah who called him and shouted. Ian, who was looking at it, frowned as if he had come again, and looked at Ivenoah.
“What did you come here for?”
“Oh my gosh, this. I forgot. Father is calling you two.”
“Your Majesty the Emperor?”
“Yes. You are invited to dinner.”
He could not refuse the emperor’s call. it went well I need to get some work to get me out of this damn imperial house.
On the way to the restaurant after getting ready to meet the emperor, Ivenoah groaned as if he had forgotten and said something he had not been able to tell the two of them.
“Oh, there’s even an older brother in the restaurant.”
“… Brother?”
“yes.”
again.
When the princess said that and arrived in front of the restaurant, the waiters immediately opened the restaurant door.
At the same time, a vicious force is coming from inside the restaurant. Ian was greeted with the energy that was close to living and thought about why they were showing hostility to him.
‘ah.’
Yes.
There were no rumors between the princess and Ian.
However, there was no way that it would not enter the Emperor’s ears.
‘It’s f*cked up.’
The princess, Ibnoa, has been said to have been favored by emperors and princes since ancient times. From their point of view, Ian was nothing more than a thief who stole their daughter and younger sister overnight.
* * *
A rattling sound fills the dining room. Even when the royal family was having a meal, the band was constantly filling up the audio so that they would never be bored.
Even while eating an overly luxurious meal, Ian was under such intense pressure that he was confused as to whether the rice was going through his mouth or his nose.
‘Wow… What is this?’
How much do you care about Ivenoah so that you can treat yourself like this just by hearing a piece of information?
Slowly, Ian also began to get feverish.
At that time, the prince who was eating put down his knife and looked up at Ian.
“I’ve heard a lot of rumors about you.”
“… Yes, thank you.”
“You know what the rumor is?”
“I haven’t done anything that deserves honor, so it doesn’t matter what the rumors are.”
“Right. By the way, the rumors I’ve heard are that you wear at least four legs and change women every day.”
When the rumors related to the female gang were introduced, Ian was at a loss for words and kept her mouth shut. The intention of bringing up those words in this situation was obvious.
You must not even dare to covet Ivenoah. I had no intention of doing that.
“It is nonsense. How many women have shown interest in the poor baron’s son?”
“Hey, can you tell me what you did with Ivenoa a few days ago?”
“Nothing happened.”
“Because I made the sound of offering my first offering to Evenoah?”
“Brother! that… !”
“You stay quiet.”
As the prince said that, he forcibly closed Ibnoa’s mouth. The conversation didn’t work. It was impossible to have a proper discussion with an opponent who was silenced in this way.
So, from this side as well, you have to throw the words that are likely to be speechless from the other side.
“The Prince. I have one thing to tell you.”
“what? If it’s an excuse-“
“To be honest, I don’t like to tell a princess.”
“… … What?”
As soon as he spoke those words, everyone’s eyes focused on Ian.
Do you not like the princess who is rumored to be able to circumnavigate the ecliptic if you line up as a person who admires her, the most flower of the empire?
It was very unbelievable, and it sounded like an insult to the prince who loved my little sister so much.
“What nonsense nonsense—!”
“It is true. Her Majesty the Princess is beautiful, but… I mean, it doesn’t feel real… .”
“Look again! Just as flowers are more beautiful the more you look at them, you can feel a new beauty every time you look at my sister’s face!”
Hearing this, Ian looked at the princess’s face as if he knew it. Then, as if admiring, he exclaimed and praised the princess.
“exactly… When I look closely, it seems that she is really beautiful.”
“right? How about you, will you fall for me now?”
“Yes. If I had had an opportunity to see the princess’s face like this, I would have fallen in love right away.”
“… You are using the same number.”
And then the prince, realizing Ian’s inner feelings, stopped and stared at him. Now, with this one word, he cleared all doubts about him.
A scandal with the princess? You’ve never seen the princess’s face properly, how could such a thing happen?
The emperor, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, grinned as if it was fun and looked at Ivenoah.
“Evenoa.”
“Yes, Father.”
“What do you think?”
“What do you mean… ?”
“Do you like Marquis Clark?”
“yes. Personally, I like it.”
Hearing such a clear answer from Ibnoa, the emperor turned his gaze to Ian.
“Marquis Clark.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Do you remember what I said earlier?”
“If you say what I said before… ?”
“That’s what I meant to connect you and the princess.”
Had it ever been, Ian quickly shook his head and scanned his memories. But no matter how much I think about it, I never said anything like that.
However, looking at the emperor’s dignified attitude, it didn’t seem like he was lying, but Ian, who was not confident in how to say that he did not remember his words in front of the emperor, quietly nodded.
“You say that you like the princess, and the princess likes you too. Why don’t we get officially engaged now?”
At those words, Ian looked at the emperor’s face in surprise. He was smiling brightly as if the pressure he had put on him before was a lie.
Seeing that the prince’s face was still stiff, I thought it was probably the emperor’s dogma.
It wasn’t important though.
‘This crazy emperor… .’
He used his and the prince’s arms to pressure Ian. It doesn’t matter if Ian gets out of there or not, it’s how I moved him around.
Ian could easily understand why the emperor wanted to connect him and the princess.
‘The Duke of Iritsu did the same, but… … .’
People of this world tended to believe that superior summoners are born from excellent summoners and excellent summoners.
That was wrong. At least to Ian, the summoning system was completely unlucky.
However, since people in the other world believed that there was such a tendency through inductive reasoning, it was natural to aim for the other side.
“No… … .”
“Woe, His Majesty the Emperor!”
Just when Ian was about to express his refusal, Noah, who was quietly eating, shouted loudly and called the emperor.
The emperor looked at Noah, slightly startled by her quiet shouting.
“Hey, I can’t get engaged… No, no!”
“… Count, why?”
“Ian, Ian… .”
After muttering for a while, she gathered up the courage to express her opinion.
“Ian is mine!”
