No thank you!

"By taking care of yourself!"

She put up the lock of the young man's hair hanging before his eyes.

"You're quite the handsome boy… Just like a prince charming!"

"Prince charming? "

"You know… every little girl's dream desire. That's why… my dear prince, take great care of yourself, because such a handsome young man will be mourned by many girls if something happens to him! "

"Then can I be your dream prince?"

The boy asked as he dusted himself off.

"Haha!"

Ariana laughed.

"For me, a prince is a nightmare himself."

"Why? Everyone wants to be a princess and then a queen. "

The boy stood incomprehensibly in front of her.

"I don't… being a queen… for me is the end itself. I mean, who would want to, in the face of all sorts of political troubles, in a marriage without love, to see the people expect a boy heir while my husband is swallowing his lovers one after another… and the nobles are trying to execute me in some way? Well, thanks for that, I'm not asking! "

She briefly recalled her fate from the original story.

"Why do you think it would be a marriage without love? Your husband and your people could love you… "

"I don't believe in fairy tales! I just want to be the wife of a lower-ranking noble and spend my days gardening, reading good books, and eating cookie specialties. Without any social obligations. Well, now we are parting ways, my dear prince. "

Ariana jumped on her horse.

"I see your friends found you."

3 knights in the same armor appeared not far away.

"Take care of yourself!"

"Wait!"

But by this time the horses were only a few feet away, and Ariana hurriedly disappeared into the woods before they could questioning her why she had to be there "just in time".

Time passed and Ariana turned 14 years old.

At last, she, too, was able to attend the hunting ceremony and embark on a chase with the coat of his family. This was the last major event before the war. After a week-long ceremony, the soldiers marched to defend the northern border.

'In the original story, by this time I had been Jerome's fiancé for a long time… Dad still supported the king with weapons anyway, so we just won't lose the war… right?'

She was still worried.

'I wonder what the prince looks like… Tess described him as a demigod… on the chase he also had to attend, right? In fact… I may see the boy I saved again… he must be married by now! He managed to catch some rich chick for sure… .with that look, stupid if he is wasting it! "

The ceremony was opened.

The presence of the 14-year-old girl surprised everyone. Hunting was not a common hobby among women in the kingdom anyway, but the fact that one was such a great archer at such a young age also caught the king's attention.

When, on the very first day, Ariana won an archery competition where trained knights lost against her, the king invited her to a tea after the award was presented.

Of course, the proud Marquis went with her to the royal tent.

"Your daughter, Karl, has become a truly exceptional lady."

The king remarked.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

"Ariana… I still see you as a great queen candidate… my offer is still standing."

"Ah…"

Her eyes widened. She knew that the prince still did not have a fiancé, even though he was 19 years old, but she hoped that the position would not be maintained.

"I already have a fiancée, Your Majesty. I am honored with your trust, but I would rather support the prince from the audience in the future. "

"I understand."

The king sipped his tea with a smile.

'Yes, you should finally understand! I will never marry your gay son! '
