Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! Chapter 101

Ultimately, I didn't oppose Allen-kun.
What little mental strength I had left escaped me.

Because, because~~!
Why are you looking at me with such a face?
Of course I understand he would stop if I seriously resisted.
But… Just a bit, I am just a little bit happy.
Worried about me, Allen-kun expressed it straightforwardly.

It's an out for a n.o.ble I think, but it's too late for that now.
Thinking so, I couldn't seriously resist.
But I didn't think it would take so long!

As expected, it'd have been bad had Sana not stopped us, I almost thought we'd be like this forever.
Sansan, if you felt like stopping us, I wish you had done so sooner.

I'm not tired physically, but now I'm in a state where I want to jump into the bed right away.
Conversely, Allen-kun who fought is strangely cheerful.
He's even humming something.

Ange-san whispered something to Allen-kun.
I didn't hear it well, but apparently, she praised him.
Huh? Is it about beating the people inside the mansion?

As we were finally leaving the duke's place, the entrance area got noisy.
I heard heavy footsteps of multiple people.
And who appeared

"Lillina!"

Guards led by Chris-sama crowded the place.
Chris-sama walked straight towards me, and… I guess he tried to embrace me, probably.
But he was obstructed.
First of all, Ange-san clung to my arm, moreover Allen-kun cut in between Chris-sama and me.
It's twins' cooperation technique~.
While I'm stuck in thoughts, Allen-kun and Chris-sama are staring at each other.

"I'm sorry, but would you let me confirm Lillina's safety?"

And to Chris-sama, who began talking, Allen-kun

"It's all right. Lillinsama didn't partic.i.p.ate in the fight. Besides, I checked a whi~~le ago and she had no injuries."

returned this.
While hugging my arm Ange-san said in a small voice 'Good! Allen-kun, that's right. Be more aggressive!', probably to support him.
What is this situation…
The guards seem to be at a loss what to do, and I'm just watching their exchange.
That's it, it can't be helped.
I gently peeled off Ange-san's hand and moved in front of Allen-kun.

"Chris-sama, thank you very much for your concern. But as Allen said, as I didn't partic.i.p.ate in combat, I'm not injured anywhere. Leaving that aside, I'm glad you brought guards. Because everyone disabled combatants and other people related to the mansion, please arrest them before they start moving. And also…"

I noticed Sasuke-san.
He was dragging the leader who was with Allen-kun before.
I think it's a good to prioritize the most important figures behind kidnapping.
On his way here I've heard sounds of impact, but he's probably still alive.

"As you can see, Sasuke-san brought the leader of the kidnapping. Since you came, he brought him here."

"I see… Lillina's group took care of everything. I'm sorry."

Saying so, Chris-sama lowered his head.

"Chris-sama! Please raise your head. We only just punished those who put us in danger a little. So please, don't lower your head."

Hearing my words, Chris-sama gave a little chuckle.

"I see… How very like Lillina to call it 'a little'. Ah, but thank you. Right now, an urgent meeting is being held. About what to do with the duke. With such solid evidence, we can't evade the topic anymore."

"So that's how it is… Then I will leave it to you, Chris-sama. We will return to the inn at once. As expected, I'm a little tired."

Mainly because I lost a large amount of my mental strength when evacuating everyone.
I want to jump into the bed quickly.

"Ah, leave it to me. I can at least do this much. Then, see you later."

As he said so, he went into the mansion with the guards.
… Hm? When will this later be, well, whatever.
Finally free, we left the duke's estate and returned to the inn.

ーーAround that time, the Western Country's Royal Castle

"Impossible."

"Maybe somehow…"

"It's useless."

"Can't I at least ask?"

In the castle, Lillina's grandfather, Sword G.o.d, and Chris's father, the king, were fiercely debating.

"I am planning to show another country to Lillina. I won't stay here for long."

"There is no reason to rush, right? My children are also very interested in Miss Lillina…"

"Hmph, do you think you can win Lillina over? She's already sick of troubles. For the time being."

The exchange between Sword G.o.d and the king continues.
