Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! Chapter 109

At the venue 2

Grandfather is staring at the king.
Eh? Is that alright? Such att.i.tude towards the king in public…
Besides, the king is afraid.

Chris-sama and I couldn't bring ourselves to interrupt them and we only watched the situation develop.

'So, why, would, the king say that.'

'N, no, I think it's good…"

'It's not good'

'But, I think it wouldn't be bad to talk to Miss Lillina…'

'Don't think that'

Huh? Are they talking about me?
Although they seem to heat up disregarding the person in question.
I was thinking what to do when my eyes met king's.
King, the help has come! When I thought so, I and Chris-sama were immediately called out to.

"Oh! Chris, Miss Lillina I'm glad you came. Mm hmm, you two look good together."

Hearing those words, grandfather frowned again.
King, I think it's better to not say any more in front of grandfather.
Chris-sama looked at grandfather's reaction, and without replying changed the topic.

"Father, it seems you were talking with Sword G.o.d-dono about Lillina a while ago?"

"Ah, aah. That thing… I was asking Sword G.o.d-dono about Miss Lillina a little."

"I rejected."

Grandfather interrupted the king with a short reply.
Ooh, he didn't even hesitate.

"Grrr, at the very least wouldn't it be okay if I talked with Miss Lillina? How about it? Miss Lillina."

Well, for the time being let's hear the king's story.
I replied "Yes".
Then the king gladly started talking.

"Oh, please listen! Unlike Sword G.o.d-dono, you are kind. That's why, I would like you to become martial arts teacher, Miss Lillina. Honestly, even the soldiers in this castle stand no chance against you. What's more, I want you to become the martial arts teacher of my children. Miss Lillina, you also have perfect manners as a n.o.ble, it's an ideal fit. How about it, could you consider it?"

Eh? A teaching role?
Besides, it's the royalty… Isn't it a bit harsh?
Realizing my expression became clouded, the king hurriedly added.

"No, if it's impossible forget it. It's just, I think it's a waste if the results of your queen education and your martial arts skills are left to rot."

Huh? Are you possibly praising me?
Although I put a great deal of effort into enduring the queen education, I feel like I haven't evaluated its results until now.
Indeed, it may be good to find a place where I can make use of it.
But I think teaching the royal family here is somewhat different.

"I am really happy about being highly evaluated. However, I am sorry, but I would like to continue travelling with grandfather. Besides, if I were to become an instructor… we would hunt demons?

Hearing my reply, at the beginning he looked disappointed, but when I brought up demons, it changed into astonishment.

"Hunting… demons?"

"Yes, hunting demons alone."

Hearing my words, the king became dejected.
Then grandfather burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! Look at it. This child doesn't act as you'd expect. Perhaps you wanted to restrain Lillina and have her engaged with that. It's regrettable but give it up. I want to show other countries to Lillina."

Hm? Where did you get the engagement part from?

"Father… Such tactics aren't effective with Lillina as the opponent."

Chris-sama sighed and spoke to the king.
Hearing those words, the king muttering 'Gr, should I attack frontally…' seems to be somehow reflecting.
Declining for the time being is okay, right?
When the king and grandfather started discussing something again, music began playing.
Then Chris-sama pulled my hand.

"Lillina, would you dance with me? I've wanted to dance with you."

I can't find a reason for refusing.
Besides, I also like moving my body by dancing.

"Yes, gladly."

I and Chris-sama went to the area where the dance has already begun.
Dancing with Chris-sama was very easy.
Until now I've only danced with brother and occasionally Leon-sama, but we didn't match.
Brother is like that, so he always pushes his way through, while Leon-sama first of all didn't know where to look, and because he kept considerable distance it was hard to dance.
That's why I enjoyed dancing with Chris-sama, who matched my pace, very much.

As I were engrossed in dancing, I didn't notice, why did everybody around us stop dancing.
Now, I and Chris-sama are the only ones.
For some reason everyone is looking at us.
Music is still playing…
When the piece ended, and we stopped

''''Clap clap clap clap'''

a grand ovation resounded.
What!
When I looked around, everyone was unanimously
'Christopher-sama and Lillinsama are a perfect match'
'Lillinsama was dancing just like a fairy'
'What a beautiful dance, I wish I could see more.'
saying such things.

Unable to endure staying here any longer, I thanked everyone and ran away into a corner of the venue pulling Chris-sama along.
