Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! Chapter 94

Appearance of a problem child

Now then, I wonder if everyone knows the expression 'going easy on someone'~~.
When I was imagining how everyone should be rampaging about now, the king spoke to me.

"I think there's a lot to be worried about, but I'll have a room prepared, so could you wait there?"

"Yes, I understand."

As I answered, I looked at my grandparents.

"Lillina, sorry, but could you go there? We have to talk with the king a liiiitle."

As grandfather said that, I caught a glimpse of the king.
For some reason the king seems frightened… It must be my imagination.

"Soul, Ryan, please guide Miss Lillina to the room. Chris, I want you to hear it too, so please stay here."

Accompanied by Soul-san and Ryan-san, I headed for the newly prepared room.
Along the way, Soul-san spoke to me.

"Lillinsama, I'm sorry for the idiots in my country."

"No, you don't need to apologize, Soul-san. Besides, those who I'm worried about are kidnappers."

The two replied with "Eh?".

"My friend are… I dare to say I consider them considerably strong. Usually, I act as their restraint, but with only those four getting kidnapped… Do the kidnappers have some knowledge of martial arts? Can they hunt demons alone?"

To my questions, those two frowned.
Because, if they don't even have an ability to hunt demons alone… That'd be bad.
And they're against not one person like this, but four?
Even if they protect Yuri-san, they'll still have plenty of spare force to demonstrate.

They would have known it was a trap the moment they were taken out of the room.
Obediently following means they're br.i.m.m.i.n.g with the desire to crush the kidnappers.

"Umm, I think there is a limited number of those who can hunt demons alone in this country. Honestly, I don't think the kidnappers have such ability…"

"I see… I hope they are safe."

It seems we have arrived at the room while having such a conversation.

"Lillinsama, I am sorry but please wait here. Sword G.o.d-sama and others will come here as soon as they finish talking."

"We will be waiting outside of the room. A maid will prepare tea, so please wait for a while."

Ryan-san and Soul-san left the room having said that.

Phew~~~, still, where are they now?
I want to believe Sana would take over as a restraint, but can she stop the twins from running wild?
Surely Sasuke-san will turn a blind eye… Anyway, just don't be so crazy you forget about Yuri-san.
I believe in you all.

While I was thinking of everyone, the outside became noisy.
I can hear an argument.
It sounds like Soul-san, Ryan-san and…  what strikes me as a woman's voice.
I thought that since you'd said I'd have tea served it was a maid, but isn't their conversation too long for that?

Then, while the voices grew louder, the door was opened without knocking.
… You're not my brother, so please knock.

And the person who entered was a young lady in an extravagant dress.
Ryan-san and Soul-san, restrained by the woman's attendants, are crying and desperately resisting.

"Natashsama! It'll be a problem if you suddenly enter!"

"Even if you are a duke's daughter you are not allowed to invade a room without permission!"

Ryan-san and Soul-san warned the woman who came in.
I see, this lady is a duke's daughter.
When I looked at her again, a smile is plastered on her face, but her eyes are scary.
She appear to be considerably impatient.

"I wonder if you are Lillinsan? … Those are terribly simple clothes. You must have quite a nerve to come to the castle dressed like this."

Natashsan looked at my appearance with a sneer.
What did this person come here for?

"You guys, escort the guards out and wait outside the room. I will talk with Lillinsan here."

Natashsan's attendants forcibly pushed Ryan-san and Soul-san out of the room.
Inside, only I and Natashsan remained.
I could have eliminated Natashsan's attendants, but since I was curious as to why she came here, I held back.

Natashsan came up to me and said.

"I wonder where your important friends are now? I've heard they were missing, but… Aren't you worried?"

Yup, the culprit is here.
