The Political Marriage of the Beastman Prince and Healer Princess

At 10:00 am on the day of leaving for the royal capital, the departure ceremony began.

According to His Highness Gresis, the departure ceremony seems to be a ceremony to see off those who are leaving.
Greet each other and leave, that’s all.

The ceremony began with a greeting from Commander Gilbert, followed by a greeting from His Highness Gresis. After that, it was decided that we would leave after presenting the ribbons.

There are chairs on the platform of the hall that became the venue, and I and His Highness Gresis are sitting there.
Since we are royalty, it seems we can’t line up with the knights.

Seen from the stage, on the left side are the Royal Monster Subjugation Unit, the royal doctor Crane, and the maid Mai. The Frontier Knights are lined up on the right.

Commander Gilbert salutes towards His Highness Gresis, goes up on the podium, and walks to the center.

“His Highness Gresis, Princess Lilith, all members of the Royal Knights’ Monster Subjugation Unit, the royal doctor, and the maids, thank you for rushing to the frontier for the crisis. Thanks to you, there are no more infectious disease patients, and the protection function of the frontier knights has been restored. I pray for your safe return to the royal palace.”

When Commander Gilbert saluted and stepped down from the podium, His Highness Graces stood up and walked to the center of the podium.

“Everyone of the frontier knights, it’s great that you’ve recovered. From now on, we will enter the period when the incidence of monsters will increase. The nation’s safety depends on the frontier knights. I have high hopes for the frontier knights because you’re all powerful people. Please protect the frontier. If there is a crisis, I swear that my Royal Monster Subjugation Unit will come. Everyone, never die.”

The Frontier Knights all saluted at the words of His Highness Gresis.

“In the Kingdom of Seiran, there is a culture of praying for the safety of the knights, handing them ribbons, and promising their return without fail. My wife prayed for everyone’s safety and sewed the ribbons. If you don’t mind, please take them. She has already given it to Commander Gilbert and Lady Melissa.”

Hearing His Highness Gresis’s words, the knights simultaneously looked at Commander Gilbert and Lady Melissa.
Commander Gilbert and Lady Melissa quickly tied the ribbons around the handles of their swords.

“If you want one, go up to the stage in order and receive it directly from Her Highness. Those who receive it will return to their post. Time is limited. Hurry up.”

“It’s lucky to get a gift from a woman, and from royalty, it may never come again.”

Urged by Lady Melissa and Commander Gilbert, the knights hurriedly lined up on the stage.

Carion, Assistant Commander to the Frontier Knights, who was a snow leopard.
As expected, everyone seemed to hesitate to line up ahead of their boss.

His Highness Gresis’s cousin, Carion, who looks like Lady Melissa, was the first to receive my assistance and always called out to me.

“I wish you all the best.”
When I gave him the ribbon, he accepted it with a smile.

“I will definitely return it. So please come here again. I’ll be waiting for you.”

Saying that, he knelt down, kissed the back of my hand, and smiled.

“Yes.”
I was kissed by a single man other than His Highness Gresis.
I was upset inside. But I smiled like a lady.

After that, I called out to each of them and handed them the ribbon.
After exchanging words of thanks and apologies for what they did, everyone knelt down and kissed the back of my hand.

His Highness Gresis doesn’t say anything, and everyone does it, so this is a knight-style greeting. I thought so.

For some reason, not only the frontier knights, but also the Royal Monster Subjugation Unit, and even His Highness Gresis lined up to receive a ribbon at the very end.

What if I don’t have enough?
I was pretty nervous.

Luckily, I made a lot of them, so I passed them out without incident.
The knights who received the ribbons went back to their respective posts, so the number of people at the venue was getting smaller and smaller.

By the time I handed the ribbon to His Highness Gresis, who was the last in line, there were only Mai, the maid who took the ribbon out of the box and handed it to me, as well as Commander Gilbert and Lady Melissa.

Just like the other knights, His Highness Gresis in a knight’s uniform standing in front of me is dignified, and I almost fell in love with him.

“Loyalty is a gift that a knight can only give to those he truly trusts. Good job.”

After receiving the ribbon and smiling, His Highness knelt down and gave me a long kiss on the back of my hand.

Even though he was doing the same thing as the other people, I was embarrassed and my face was flushed.

His Highness Gresis stood up while holding my hand, and with a mischievous smile on his face, muttered in a voice that only I could hear.

“This way, you can only think about me.”
“. . . !”

His Highness is always cheating.
Even though I want to make His Highness’s heart beat faster.
Am I not attractive enough as a woman?
