Chapter 98.4 – Lyle-Sensei’s Confession

「It’s not like you to not accept my proposal.」

「What do you mean it’s not like me?」

「Think about it, if you marry me, who will be the monarch of Silesie, Lyle-sensei will be part of the royal family too. That way, you would have true power to rule over the county which sensei has always wanted.」

「Oh…..I haven’t thought of that. You’re not wrong but….」

「Given your situation, your answer could only be either yes or yes.」

「Takeru-dono sometimes gets very forceful.」

I judged that it was okay to be forceful and hugged Lyle-sensei.

The water is already warm but Lyle-sensei’s body felt warmer and softer than the hot water probably because of the emotional intensity of our conversation.

If she doesn’t jump away from my embrace, should I assume that she’s okay with it?

「I think I’m being pushy. I know we should probably take more time but my wedding with Queen Silhouette is coming up and I want Lyle-sensei to be married with me at that time too.」

「Even if I say I want us to be together, given the ranks, it is certain that Queen Silhouette is the rightful wife.」

「It’s a matter of feelings, don’t you get it?」

I wonder if my feelings will be conveyed through skinship.

I hope so.

「Got it got it! Then, I’ll be like me and make it difficult for you.」

「Oh, sensei’s getting aggressive.」

This is getting interesting.

I would do anything for you. I’d even conquer the world.

「Please add Princess Caroline to the wedding. I want the Duchy of Transylvania too.」

「Sensei, I won’t do anything against someone’s will.」

I didn’t see that coming.

Seeing my troubled face, sensei smiled provocatively.

「Ah, I can’t believe you’re that weak. That’s okay. That only means this marriage proposal is off the table.」

「Wait a minute, I didn’t say I wouldn’t do it.」

I guess this is sensei’s way of rejecting me.

I won’t let that happen though.

「Duke Varlam is already planning to marry off the princess. Diplomatic arrangements have already been made. However, given Takeru-dono’s achievement, you can easily persuade her. I’m sure she’ll fall for you.」

I think for a minute.

Hmmm, Princess Caroline.

I like her but not that like.

I’ve never seen her as a marriage partner. I was only thinking about Queen Silhouette and Lyle-sense. I guess my field of view is still narrow.

However, I can’t say no since I’ve already told her this much.

Since you’re already laid the groundwork, I’ll take the shot.

「…….I understand. I’ll give it a try!」

「That’s the spirit. Let’s see how serious you are, Takeru-dono.」

I’m relieved seeing sensei smile. That’s the typical sensei.

After all, this is how the ambitious sensei is and not the gloomy one.

I’m going to seduce Princess Caroline.

I made sensei talk about a lot but I’m sure she’s full of worries inside.

However, for now, let’s go with the flow.

Since I have her in my arms, I can do anything I want.

「I’ll do as you say but I’ll take a little advance payment before the wedding.」

「Wait a minute. Takeru-dono, I’m not ready for that yet.」

「You said you were ready.」

「This is not what I meant!」

I held the worrywart sensei for a while until she calmed down then, gently kissed her light red lips.

Looking at the slightly flushed cheeks of sensei, whose attractiveness increases by 20% in the bathtub, I was almost convinced that I could do it.

「I’d like to ….can I stick in my tongue more?」

「I never thought I would be doing this.」

「Me too. What a surprise.」

「Takeru-dono, I’m talking about something else….」

I cut her line and kept going for a little bit more but I think I’ve overdone it since sensei is already annoyed.

I was a little too aggressive because I thought that since we were getting married, I didn’t have to restrain myself any longer.

It will be hard to make her forget me later now that she’s in a bad mood. It looks like I took too much advance payment.

I can’t just do what I want. There’s an order to everything and I shouldn’t be impatient. I should take my time more in looking at the other party carefully.
