The Political Marriage of the Beastman Prince and Healer Princess

Fifth day. Only the last group remained.
Today is the end of using Healer, and all that remains is to wait for their physical strength to recover until they become a humanoid.

Absorbing natural energy on the roof of the fortress in my free time during my lunch break had become a daily routine.
Unlike at night, you can see the town and forest below, and enjoy the scenery.
As I took a deep breath, a knight approached me.

“It seems that Her Highness comes here frequently. Is there anything you need?”
A cold gaze is directed at me.

I remembered that His Highness Gresis had said that beastmen are sensitive to emotions.

“I like this place so much that I just keep returning to it.”

There is no way I can say that I came to replenish natural energy.
But I’m not lying because I know I like this place.
I say that with a smile.

“…What about taking the time until the night with the unit commander, who is exhausted from the subjugation every day? Besides, this is a watchtower, not a place to come and play. You can either go somewhere else or spend your time in your room.”

“It’s a valid opinion.”

I think with a smile on my face.
His Highness Gresis is loved even on the frontier.

Because His Highness Grasis was kind to me, I ended up being spoiled by him.
As he told me, it might have been a burden to His Highness Gresis.

But I’m in trouble if I can’t come here.
I wonder what happened. . .

“A low-ranking knight can talk a lot.”
This voice is His Highness Gresis!? I wonder if today’s subjugation ended early.

“Commander Gresis! I’m sorry. I never intended. . .”

“If you’re going to apologize, shouldn’t you apologize to Lilith instead of me? I was under the impression that you were free to come and go here, but if that’s not the case, let’s confirm with Commander Gilbert and get official permission.”

“There is no need for that. There is no mistake in the recognition of the unit commander. Please forgive me for being intrusive. Please excuse me.”

The knight bowed in awe and quickly returned to his watch duty.

“The weather is about to break, Lilith. It can’t be helped, let’s spend time in the room.”

When we returned to the room, Mai immediately made tea.
While sitting side by side with His Highness Gresis on the sofa and relaxing, I was worried about what the knight had said.

“Don’t worry. I’ve give my word. No one should complain. Lilith also needs it to use Healer.”

“Thank you. But even though you were tired from defeating monsters, I thought it was reasonable that you were going out with me every night and it was a burden on Your Highness.”

“I’ve never thought of it as a burden. So you don’t have to worry about it.”
“Thank you.”

That’s how His Highness Gresis always takes care of me, so I worry even more.

But after today, I won’t have to go to the rooftop every day.
A knight came earlier, but I think I was able to absorb natural energy.

Besides, if the weather is going to change from now on, you don’t have to force yourself to go to the rooftop.

That’s what I thought.
But it was wrong.

 

That’s some very obvious foreshadowing. I wonder what’s going to go wrong now.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
