Then, the only thing I could do was only one.
“I understand. Then, I will leave the problem about my future wife to Risha.”
“Thank you for listening to my selfish request, Your Highness Claude.”
As I leave all of that to Risha, I just held myself as a man and accepted it.
And then, this conversation closed its curtain.
Oh my, I was impressed by Risha who had more consciousness to live as a royalty than me.
Speaking of greed, I hoped she asked me to not have more wives or any mistress in the future. However, I decided to let it aside by enjoying Risha’s expression after I patted Risha’s head roughly, as her weak hand tried to move mine away and her face turned red.
“Now… I am sorry for making you wait, Charlotte. I apologize for making your hands full with Risha. I am really sorry.”
“Ah, please raise your head, Your Highness Claude! As you can see, I am fine!”
As Charlotte was flustered after seeing me lowering my head, she rolled up her jersey’s sleeves, showing that she was fine.
“It can’t be like that. In this case, the one who got the higher rank should be the one who bowed one’s head, or it would be more troublesome one after another. I suppose I will send a letter of apology to Charlotte’s father, Marquis Monterre. Please take that letter of apology and——-” Get faster updates on novelping(.)com.
“I-It’s okay! Rather than being afraid of my father knowing that I was acting coldly towards Risha-sama, I was more afraid that he knew that I made Your Highness Claude apologize to me. I bet he would be furious like a volcano that would erupt and said rather than causing inconvenience to the academy or Risha-sama and Your Highness Claude, I should drop out from the academy. Though, I don’t even think about it at all! Here and now, I forgive Your Highness Claude, in addition to Risha-sama……. I am sorry, I am sorry! For me to interrupt Your Highness Claude’s words! What should I do!? Please spare my life!!”
“Ahahahaha!! I see I see, let’s just say that this conversation ended just now! And about interrupting my statement just now, I will not classify it as a sin so you don’t need to worry!!”
Somehow as I looked at Charlotte who was suddenly turned into a fool and saw her flustered behavior that would never be seen usually, it had been a while since I laughed this loud.
Chapter 33: Sign
After I laughed for a while, I gave a serious look towards Charlotte.
As she was being stared at by me, Charlotte turned her face red and started fidgeting. Thinking that pointing it out was like opening a pandora box, so I pretended to not notice and opened my mouth.
Instead, I would say that although she was the daughter of the Marquis, Charlotte was still a child.
“Well then, Charlotte.”
“Y-yes…..”
“As a replacement for not giving your father a letter of apology, you owe me one, okay?”
“Yes…….? ……………ah.”
And after Charlotte noticed what I meant, her red face turned blue.
Holding the weakness of others, although it was a little thing, it seems that she knew the horror of showing it.
Especially owing one to a royalty family member was beyond one’s imagination.
Seeing Charlotte’s blue face, I was about to let this case aside, but as Charlotte did not know about that, without knowing when would use that owe towards her, she would not be able to make a strong move towards me nor Risha.
“Well then, Your Highness Claude, just in case, could you write the apology letter on this letter?”
However, because there was a possibility of a never-ending argument, as Risha thought that a pledge would not be enough, she asked me to write the letter of apology.
Then, without thinking further and agreed with it, I ordered Nina to bring me a pen and ink and wrote the apology letter before giving it to Risha.
After she received the letter, she also wrote something on that piece of paper and then gave it to Charlotte.
“Charlotte-sama, please sign in here. Well, as long as Charlotte-sama doesn’t take any action that puts us at disadvantage, we would not send this letter to your Father. Since you just need to keep the promise, you don’t need to think deeply about it, so you can just sign it. As the effectiveness of this letter was until we graduated from the magic academy, I think this is a daily conscientious agreement, don’t you think?”
Risha softly said so to Charlotte and offered the letter to her as she was asking her to sign it.
Charlotte whose face was already blue, after she put her eyes on the contents of the letter, it turned paler than before.
Rather, I was worried whether it was normal for a human to be that pale.
I was curious about the content of the letter which made that Charlotte cornered that far. I took a peek at the paper and saw this statement. “I, Charlotte, not only I was cutting His Highness Claude’s statement in the middle on my own accord, but I also prevented him from writing an apology letter for Father with a reason that Father would be angry towards me.”
