I Will Quit the Entourage of the Villainess Chapter 18

18

With the chamberlain who was guiding, to a room a little bit away from the garden terrace.

The voices of the tea party’s invited guests do not reach this far.

The chamberlain performed a knock on a lovely ornamental door.

“Your highness crown prince, I’ve brought Cosette-jou”

“Enter”

In the room there were two two-person sofas, they are placed opposite to face each other, with a table placed between them.

His highness the crown prince sat down at the sofa behind the door where I had entered inside.

While becoming nervous from the tension, I was able to walk to appear as elegant as I could, and to his highness did a lady’s bow.

Although using Okaa-sama’s behaviour as a reference, was it skillfully done I wonder.

“Excuse me, your highness crown prince. It is the daughter of the Edelweiss Earl, Cosette. In respect to your highness, you are resplendent as always……” (TLN: I’m having trouble understanding what ご機嫌麗しゅう is but I believe this is close to what it means, it is some sort of archaic polite speech to say “you are beautiful”? Which I’m not quite sure about.)

“Good, you were summoned here. Be at ease.”

“Thank you very much. Please excuse me.”

Prompted by his highness, I sat down on the opposite sofa.

It was goodー because I was not accustomed to saying it normally I thought I’d bite my tongue.

Or more precisely, after “You are resplendent as always” what should I say. Roughly everyone was obstructed here so I can not remember.

Patiently waiting for his highness to speak from opposite him, his highness  was subtly looking diagonally downwards making it fairly hard to converse.

What are you looking at I wonder…… knee……? Floor……?

Vaguely I will also look in the same spot, but there is nothing in particular.

“Errr(Ano), your highness…… so, the story so to say……”

When I was tired of waiting and spoke out, his highness looked at me with a determined look.

Is angry?! I, did something? !

I am scared then my heart pounds(dokidoki).

“That…… Sorry, for the time of the tea party before.”

“Heh”

c.r.a.p(Yabai), it was a strange voice.

“Later after thinking calmly, when you all reprimanded Angie-jou, I think it was justified. It seems she was not an invited guest, having plucked the flowers without permission, it is understandable to be angry.”

His highness’ scary expression, seems to be a manifestation of  tension(nervousness). Somehow his cheeks are also red, is he feeling embarra.s.sed?

I wonder if this is called a tsundere.

Un, a beauty if not picturesque. How cute.

But your highness crown prince, it is not good if you are going to apologize to your retainer.

“Like that, it is fine. Since I do not mind, please do not apologize. Your highness crown prince is one who will be king, do not apologize to the likes of me.”

This is certainly my true feelings. Really I completely do not mind.

More precisely I had almost forgotten.

“Is, is that so…… Thank you. ”

His highness was feeling relieved, he lifted his face that was looking down, and freely smiled. (TLN: What does くしゃりと in くしゃりと微笑んだ mean? I know the latter part means to smile but I guess randomly for the former part.)

Zukyuーーーーーーーーーーn (sfx of heart squeezing? or is it smiling…)

Eh, what, this smile. Dangerous, dangerous(yabai)……

I sense the heat collect on my face. My face now, is probably flushed……

Too embarra.s.sing, forcibly tearing my eyes off from his highness, while facing down I discussed a bit more intensely.

“Co, come to think of it, what happened to Angie-jou afterwards? I heard your highness took her with you…… At any rate such stunning pink hair is unusual(rare)! Such colours, I have only seen in paintings. Really, that painting was certainly, of the previous generation…… ”

……That(Are)?……Really, such stunning pink hair is, of the previous generation……

“His majesty the king’s, the concubine’s, …… “

I became aware of the fact, feeling my expression stiffen I raised my face that was facing down, and looked at his highness.

Perhaps, there is, confidence that this intuition is correct.
