Chapter 47: The Commander's Son Meets the Princess

"It's my first time to meet you. I'm Manaria Salvare, the first princess of Salvare Kingdom. This is my sister and a second princess..."

"…I, am Cynthia Salvare."

A beautiful girl with wavy blond hair and a beautiful girl who looks exactly like her sister who is nervous behind her. The two princesses of Salvare Kingdom in front of me, but I am strangely devoid of any emotions. Before I met Alice, she was a beautiful girl who would have been fascinated me, but I don't think she's good at all now that I'm devoted to Alice. Well, I wouldn't say that.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Rinse Landry, the second prince of the Landry Kingdom."

"Likewise, I am Mace Landry, the first prince of the Landry Kingdom."

"I heard the story from my brother. Nice to meet you too"

"I'm going to meet you for the first time. I'm Arth Lost, Viscount Lost, from the Kingdom of Laundry."

"He is a friend of mine and a candidate for the next Knight Commander. He's our protector today so don't worry"

Introduced by Rinse, my older sister Manaria stared at me for a while and then said as she remembered.

"Maybe you are the rumored knight?"

"What are rumors?"

"There are rumors in the neighboring countries. There is a knight in the Landry Kingdom who saved a weak duke's daughter from an evil prince."

"I see, but you say that, Knight-sama?"

"That's right, prince of evil."

"No, don't talk to me there!"

After teasing the prince, I thought for a moment and then said.

"Well, I don't know if the rumors are true or not, but it's true that I stole my fiancée from the evil prince there at the time."

"Well, nice. I'd love to hear more about it. Hey, Cynthia."

"Yes..."

My younger sister, Cynthia, answers while being nervous. Seeing that, Rinse smiled and said,

"Cynthia, please relax a little more. We are here for friendship."

"Ah, thank you very much, Rinse-sama."

"I'm sorry, my sister is shy and hard to communicate"

"No, I used to be a bad talker, so I understand how you feel."

I want to lie to Rinse, but I don't want to get in the way of Rinse, who is starting to approach the princess, so I stay silent. Rinse continues his words without caring about me.

"Cynthia-sama will have her own pace, so let's get to know each other slowly. I like women like Cynthia-sama."

"Huh!?"

Cynthia blushing. Manaria said with a smile that she thinks he's really handy because he's doing this on purpose.

"Really, there are many wonderful gentlemen in the Landry Kingdom. Knight-sama, Rinse-sama. Is the knight still a student?"

"Yes, I will join the Knights when I graduate next year. And I will marry my fiancée."

"Then please invite me at that time. I would like to meet the fiancé of the knight. You would agree right?"

"Yes, Alice will be pleased too."

"You're talking about Alice. Are you in love with Alice?"

That question is easy to answer, but I smiled at it and said.

"Excuse me, but I don't really tell anyone about my love affairs. So I'll keep it a secret, but I'll just say it's as you imagined."

"Fufu, I want to be loved by the gentleman. Come to think of it, do you have a fiancée, Master Rinse?"

"Unfortunately, there are many wonderful women, but not many people like me."

"Oh, is that so? Then how about Cynthia?"

"Oh, what are you doing, Onee-chan..."

Manaria lightly winked at the impatient Cynthia and then looked at Rinse and asked.

"If it's for the sake of friendship, you came here for that, right? From what I've seen, Rinse-sama and Cynthia seem to get along well, so if Rinse-sama is okay with it, please take it."

"Oh, aren't you my sister?"

"I don't seem to have much compatibility with Rinse-sama. And I see that you have affection to him right?"

"Uh, but, wouldn't it be a nuisance if you suddenly said that to Rinse-sama?"

"indeed"

Rinse smiled at Cynthia, who looked a little sad at those words.

"I was preparing to persuade you, but it's ruined, isn't it?"

"Huh...?"

"Cynthia-sama, please come to our country as a princess whenever you like. I will be waiting for you."

"Y-You're joking, aren't you?"

"No, no, I'm serious. It's something called love at first sight. Even if it's a political marriage, I learned from someone close to me that I want to marry someone I like."

Rinse glances at me. Well, I thought I would appreciate it if either of them became a hit, but I'm a little surprised to think that Rinse would go this far aggressively. He doesn't look like he's lying, so he's probably serious. After being stunned by those words for a while, Cynthia mumbled.

"... I'm looking forward to seeing you."

"Yeah, nice to meet you."

In this way, Rinse's fiancée was decided without hesitation. The prince, who looked like an air next to me, wanted to use it as another hand next time, and wished to return to Alice as soon as possible.
