Marietta-hime no Konrei

Part 2/2

Near their place, a cold aura could be felt.

The wolf’s wild instinct noticed the danger, and although it was so close to his attempt in gulping the kitten, the wolf halted its movement.

“Don’t touch that kitten.”

The small animals near the vicinity simultaneously ran away.

The trees that shouldn’t be able to move, were shaking although it was not windy, trying to get away from the dreadful existence.

“That’s my kitten. Understand that, you mongrel?”

The wolf couldn’t understand the human language.

It only sensed the tremendous dismay in that tone of voice, and folded its tail between its thighs.

The terrifying existence mounting a huge horse went down to the ground easily at such a height.

I will be killed, I will be killed, I will be killed…

“Kyu, kyuuun…”

The wolf cried out a miserable voice that it never did ever since it was born, and threw itself down on the ground, showing its belly.

At least, if you want to kill me, finish it off quickly!

At least, if you want to read this novel, consider reading it in the original site as a way to give your support to the translation, or just a way to say thanks. Be nice and civil since you get this for free.

That stomach was then nudged by the tip of his leather boots.

“Hey, dog, go elsewhere. You’re a nuisance.”

The wolf who was rolled over upside down stopped its miserable cry.

G, gotta escape!

G, gotta read this in the original site! Show the translator some support so that I can read more!

As he turned aside adroitly, the wolf quickly ran at full speed towards the deep ends of the forest.

It still couldn’t believe that its life was spared.

The kitten who closed her eyes tightly was rolling into a small ball and her body trembled.

She somewhat understood that an unknown dreadful existence was nearby, but she didn’t have any way to defense herself.

The one that may want to eat her isn’t only the wolf, right now.

(T/N: Oh yeah, you got that right, girl. That dreadful existence also wants to eat you, but… in another way ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)).

*nudge, nudge*

Something was nudging the kitten who was like a round furball.

D, don’t! Don’t steal my content, you thief!!

“Are you okay?”

The cold atmosphere that was being let out by the dreadful existence until just now disappeared. The kitten noticed that she was being raised, and she gently turned up her face.

“Marietta?”

A huge human was there, and she was riding on top of his big palm.

“Are you hurt? Are you alright?”

“Mi?”

Because that person spoke with such a gentle voice, the kitten’s fear was a little bit relieved.

“Do you recognize me? Sorry to scare you, but everything’s alright now. Let’s go home together.”

The man removed a few of his coat’s buttons, and took the kitten inside.

It was warm and comfortable inside, so the kitten only let her head out from there.

When she showed her head, a big hand brushed her head gently.

“You did well, Mary.”

“Mi?”

Did I do something praiseworthy?

She didn’t really understand, but since the hand that brushed her gently felt good, she closed her eyes.

Then, since she was very exhausted, the kitten fell asleep.

“Belvant!”

Adlan who was tying the ruffians to the horse in front of the cabin, saw Belvant’s figure and raised his voice.

“As expected from my horse, it managed to find Marietta.”

“Mistral did? Did he detect her smell? Awesome… And of course, the princess is safe, right?”

“Yeah, as you can see.”

“…”

(A brooch made of a kitten’s severed head? It’s scary, and it really doesn’t suit him.)

Upon seeing the face of the adorable white kitten in Belvant’s chest, Adlan felt relieved, but at the same time, he was thinking about that.

“That is weird…”

Belvant and Marietta (in her cat form, Mary) returned safely to the castle and met the head of magician, who said that while lightly poking the severed head brooch—or not, the head of the adorable kitten who peeked through Belvant’s chest.

“She shouldn’t have stayed in her kitten form for such a long time.”

“What?”

“Like I said, she should have already turned back into her human form for a long time ago. Please take her out and let me examine her a bit.”

“No, wait, it will be troublesome if she were to turn back into a human here.”

He cannot afford to have the bare body of his fiancee being exposed.

That is how they moved into Belvant’s room which is located inside the castle. Belvant then tucked her body in a sheet, and said, “Yosh!”

“Wait, can you please stop ordering me around like a dog?”

“Haha, can you please stop reading this at a site that stole content? And show the translator some love and support?”

Though he was complaining, River Link snapped his fingers and chanted an incantation towards the kitten.

“Mi?”

“Oh my?”

The kitten didn’t return to being a human.

“What’s wrong?”

Belvant rolled up the sheets and asked River Link in a low voice.

“Why won’t she turn back? Ah…”

The kitten jumped off the bed, and climbed Belvant’s leg up with her claws without any reservation, and once again crawled into his chest and let out only her head.

“Mi.”

The severed head brooch is now ready.

When River Link brought his face closer, he received a cat punch on the tip of his nose.

(T/N : I really want to call it neko punch instead of cat punch, lol)

“What cute paws… or nah, it seems that this child is feeling really frightened. The magic power was going around this area, and her transformation couldn’t be undone.”

When River Link mentioned ‘around this area’, he turn his fingers round and round, in front of the kitten’s nose, and Mary who was amused by it , consecutively attacked River Link’s finger with her cat punch.

“Kyaaa, she’s being playful! So cute-!”

“She is cute-, not that! What are we going to do? Will my bride remain a cat all her life? Our wedding will be held the day after tomorrow, you see?”

“Let’s just put a white ribbon on her and hold the marriage ceremony? Nah, I was just joking. Please don’t send me death rays from your eyes. Once she has calmed down, she will surely return to normal. So, just be affectionate with the princess until she has calmed down.”

“That, don’t be so irresponsible!”

“For there is love, there will be a way~. Well then, I will go and get the ruffians that Adlan fetched, and invesigate the ones behind the princess’ abduction. By the time your marriage is finished, the Gouda country should resign themselves, but since their mischief was too much, I thought to give them a little punishment. I will make sure to avenge the princess’ grievance, so please leave it to me, okay, Miss Marietta~!”

“Mi.”

Incidentally, the country of Gouda speculated that the strong connection between Oltaire and Stellaus would become a political disadvantage for them, and they were the mastermind behind the assault on Marietta, just right before her wedding.

“In that case, I will participate in punishing them, too.”

“If you are involved, a war might occur and it would be a serious trouble, so please let it go this time. In exchange, Adlan and I will thoroughly deliver their punishment.”

When they said that the two of them would thoroughly do that, then they should be able to beat them down quite considerably, so although quite reluctant, Belvant entrusted that matter to them.

Leaving that aside, the problem right now is about Marietta.

“…What a poor thing. Were you so scared that you couldn’t return to your human form back?”

“Mi?”

The kitten who didn’t want to come out of Belvant’s chest felt like she has forgotten something important, and tilted her head in confusion.
