131 engagement.

( Yuuki's POV )

Yuuki: the answer is clear, only the king was poisoned during a toast because the cup was poisoned and the culprit wanted Mismede to look guilty by blaming de wine, The real culprit is obviously you Balsa.

Balsa: This is outrageous, how dare you accuse me, I will have you arrested.

Yuuki: yeah whatever, just answer, did you have anything to do with this?

Raft: Of course not.

Yuuki: I knew you would say that, maybe you don't know but the reason the duke brought me here is because of my mystical eyes, I can see when someone is lying and now you are cursed, Your body will begin to weigh you down to the point where you will not be able to stand up, then you will feel ice cold and in the end, you will die.

I looked at the count with a sinister smile and I began to use my powers to simulate the curse, the count didn't know anything about me so he really believed that he was about to die.

Yuuki: but you can still save yourself, you just have to tell the truth.

Balsa looked at me sweating and terrified but I kept smiling, I didn't care what happened to this guy.

Balsa: o-okay, I did it, I poisoned the king's cup!

Charlotte: incredible! What kind of magic is that?

Yuuki: I'll tell you everything about it later, I'm not done with the count yet.

Balsa: You will never catch me!

The count tried to run but when he passed through the door he was hit in the face and sent flying across the room, The one who did it was Tsukiumi who then proceeded to throw six bound and beaten nobles in the middle of the room.

Tristwin: who are you?

Yuuki: She is my companion Tsukiumi, when the count left the castle I knew that he was eager to start the next part of his plan and there Tsukiumi caught all his accomplices and even recorded a video of them plotting.

Yumina: video?

Yuuki: oh right, she used a magical tool that I created that can record moments to be seen over and over again.

Charlotte: what?! I need to see it, could you please let me see it?

Yumina: amazing~

///////////////

After the duke and his accomplices were imprisoned and awaiting their sentence we moved to another room.

Tristwin: Yuuki I am very grateful to you, you prevented a tragedy and even caught everyone involved.

Yuuki: it was nothing, the duke has treated me almost like family, helping his brother is the least I can do.

Tristwin: I thank you very much, I wish I could make it up to you immediately but I'm going to need some time.

During our conversation, the princess was staring at me but with Tsukiumi looking over me I tried not to get lost in her eyes again but the princess had other plans.

Yumina: Mother Father I made up my mind.

Yumina suddenly stood up and with a look full of determination she gave a quick glance at Tsukiumi and me.

Yumina: I want to become Yuuki-sama's wife.

Tsukiumi Grrr YUUKI!

With the exception of Tsukiumi, the rest of us were surprised by Yumina's statement but her mother, Queen Yuel, questioned her calmly.

Yuel: Yumina, can you explain to us how you made this decision?

Yumina: Yeah! Yuuki-sama is a very intelligent and kind person, every time I look at him I feel a warmth inside me, I feel somehow connected to him, I have never felt this way before and I want to stay by his side.

The more she talked the princess blushed more and more, she looked super cute.

Tristwin: I see, if that's how you feel I don't have anything else to say.

Yuel: It's decided then, we have to celebrate!

Yuuki: wait wait, it's still too early to celebrate.

Yumina: Yuuki-sama, don't you like me?

Yuuki: No, I like you just fine, what I want to say is that you don't know anything about me.

Yuel: We're not worried, Yumina has mystical eyes that can see people's personalities, she wouldn't say something like this without being sure.

Oh, she's kind of like me.

Yuuki: Worry a little, if that's true she should know that I'm just a busybody that can't leave well enough alone.

Alfred: always so modest Yuuki.

Yuuki: Plus you should know that I'm already engaged.

Yumina: I see, it's with this Tsukiumi girl, isn't it?

Tsukiumi: That's right, and it's not just me, counting myself Yuuki has thirty-three fiancees and the truth is I don't care if you're a princess you can't have him all to yourself.

Yuel: oh my.

Tsukiumi and Yumina stared at each other, neither willing to back down, I knew when to stay quiet so I didn't intervene and the others did the same.

Yumina: That was not my intention at all, I think that the number of girls who are by his side only shows how great he is and that will not change my decision.

Tsukiumi: Hnm I like that determination but if that's what you want you will need the approval of others.

Yumina: I understand, if that's what it takes I will earn the approval of all of them.

Yuel: Now everything is decided, Yumina you will go with Yuuki, do your best to earn a place in Yuuki's heart.

Yumina: yes mother I will!!

Alfred: Wait, I still have to say my peace.

When it seemed that everything was resolved, the duke attracted everyone's attention with another surprising statement.

Alfred: I am very happy for you Yumina but I must say that Sushie met Yuuki first and I was thinking of giving her hand in marriage to Yuuki.

Yuuki: you were?

Tsukiumi: I knew that would happen, I approve of Sue.

Yumina: Yes, that's fine with me too.

Yuuki: *sigh* Ok it seems that everything that needed to be said was said.

////////////////

While Yumina was preparing to move in with us the King gave us a room to wait and since Tsukiumi approved of the princess she was not so angry with me, Meanwhile, the duke returned to his mansion to inform his family what had happened, and I couldn't help but think about how everything had gotten out of control so quickly, Today had started out like such a normal day.
