Say 'no' kiyoshi

Lord Garion cleared his throat and said in his sharp voice: "I am presenting you with an official proposal from Duke Garion Elfior. Please respond, Kiyoshi."

Kiyoshi said very politely: "Ah.... mmm...I need time to think, Lord."

Lord Garion: "One day is your allotted time.don't worry the marriage will be after a year, you can get the 30 gold from the second princess Evani."

Kiyoshi bows his head: "Thank you, my Lord."

After some time in the tree house, Kiyoshi explains the situation to Sakura.

Sakura said: "What? Do you know who she is? She is one of the strongest hunters in this country, the gang leader of the Elfin gang and older than you. Are you into older women? And we are here to get A rank and see that disappearing maid and get back to our world and save the world. That is our main plan but as we are in the fantasy world we can have fun but this is crossing the line."

Kiyoshi: "No no no. It's not that. How can I say no to a duke in the face? He will kill me on the spot."

Sakura: "Now I think about it, there is a good chance if we get help where we can save mankind at ease. The choice is yours. You are 18 and this is the year men start marrying in this world."

Kiyoshi: "I want to think about it."

Night in the Treehouse

On one side of the bed, Sakura thought: "What is this feeling? I feel heavy in my heart. I would be alone and out of his life after the engagement. There's no way I can sleep alone, so Kiyoshi please say 'NO'. Maybe it's good for him, she can protect him more than me. Then why am I feeling these?"

On the other side of the bed, Kiyoshi thought: "I can't just say no like that. He is a duke. Rejecting a duke's proposal may kill me and Sakura. As Sakura said this is not a bad deal but my heart aches thinking about leaving Sakura alone. What if she gets hurt while going overboard? She is so careless while hunting the monster. Who will heal her? She couldn't even sleep alone. I want to help her in every way because she is the only friend I have now. Whenever I kiss her for healing, I want to see her face turn red. (on her hands)."

morning

Kiyoshi wakes up first and prepares for his meeting with the duke. Sakura was still lying in bed and her eyes were wet. In order to keep her warm, he moved the blanket up to her neck because it was cold. He smiled at her and left to see the Duke.

In the garden

Duke asked: "Kiyoshi what is your decision about the marriage? You will be noble too after the engagement. Don't rush things. Nanime is here to talk to you."

Nanime came near his ear: "You both will be killed if you say 'no'. This marriage is because of your blessing, our family needs that. You will be my pet for 60 or 70 years until you die. So you can enjoy your one-year period of freedom."

Duke: "What is your answer?"

Kiyoshi: "I have a girlfriend and I promised her I would only marry her under the death magic contract (it is a contract contracted with magic and if the contract is broken there will be a price. Here the price is the death of Kiyoshi)"

Duke asked: "Who is she? Bring her to me, is that Sakura?"

Kiyoshi said: "Yes, my Lord". he lied to him. There is no such contract between them.

Nanime brings Sakura and asks if it's true.

Sakura stares at Kiyoshi in anger.

"Please say yes" Kiyoshi shows with his eyes.

Sakura said: " yes, it is true"

Duke: " Okay then, you both may leave."

After they leave

Duke said to Nanime: "I want the heads of both of them before tomorrow morning."

Nanime said in anger: "how dare he reject me? They both will die by tonight."

Nanime Call the most elite assassins to kill them without any fight or sound.

Evani heard this hiding behind a brush.
