The Villain Daughter Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride in a Former Enemy Country

"... I missed you, Lord Arnold!"

Riesch raised her voice like that and hugged Arnold's arm.

Arnold seemed breathtaking, but the surprise didn't come out.

Looking up at him with his usual faceless look, Richie makes a stubborn childish look.

"I can't believe you're here if you think you're late.Your Highness won't come back, so I had dinner alone. "

……

"If you get a break from your work, you need to come and see me 'as usual' right away.Please do not forget that I want to see His Highness's face at all times. "

Try to keep your head stuck to Arnold's arm.

While pretending to be angry, Riesch stared at Arnold with a sweet gaze.

― ― With an attitude that doesn't seem to have been heard at all, such as the speech earlier.

(Now, how will His Highness get out?)

Before the priest Schneider watched, Riesch hugged Arnold even harder.

Arnold raised his eyebrows slightly, but for a moment.

(Unless this behavior of mine is an extra imitation....)

Thinking like that, Arnold opens his mouth.

"... I'm sorry."

Exactly what I thought.

Arnold whispered to himself, stroking his head to soften Riesch.

"I've just finished my official duties.I thought I was in a hurry, but it sounded like I missed you. "

The world's most beautiful shaped fingers combed coral hair.

A sweet finger hangs Leesher's hair on her ear next to her.Then I was asked to peek into my eyes very close.

"I'd like to have dinner in a hurry, but could you stay with me?"

"Of course, Lord Arnold. Now please tell us about what happened today while eating."

Riesch smiled as if it was a familiar interaction.

After that, now I turn my eyes to Schneider.

"... priests, I'm sorry for what I did.But may I have my Highness back tonight? "

I rub my cheeks against Arnold's arms and dare to say what I can.

Schneider nodded after coughing up just one thing.

"Well... of course. The goddess is good at her work, but if she's not eating, it's different.- Now, if you'll excuse me. "

Schneider left early enough.

With her back shut off, Riesch stays on her feet.

"You must not marry Arnold Hein."

The priest has given such a warning.

We must find out as soon as possible what the intentions were.To do that, we still need to help with Miriam's festival.

While thinking silently, Arnold next door opens his mouth.

"... Liesche"

Yes?

Somehow, I heard a voice nearby.

"Hi...."

The moment I think of the reason, Riesch's face turns pale.

"Ahhhh!?"

Speaking of which, he held Arnold in his arms.

He noticed it and screamed, hurrying away from Arnold.I raised my hands and apologized while insisting that it was harmless.

"Oops, I'm sorry!! When I concentrated on my thoughts, I forgot to put my arms together!!I'm sorry for sticking to that!! "

"... why do you apologize?"

Arnold wrinkled between his eyebrows and looked back at us with a strange look.

"Did you hear that?I told you I'd make you my decorative wife. "

"Of course I was listening, but...."

Riesch leans her neck and stares at Arnold's blue eyes.

"I can't take such a word from His Highness, can I?"

……

Asked with a strange feeling, Arnold seemed to have been disillusioned for a moment.

"I thought maybe you were saying it to boost my" lazy royal princess life "....It is easier for His Highness to set up house arrest than to do so because of my laziness.But it's hard to imagine Lord Arnold going out of his way to tell it to the congregation. "

……

"So I decided to take a ride for the first time.I don't know your purpose, but did you want to "do that" to the priest?I thought it would be more convenient to play "Bad Wife who believes in His Highness Arnold and mistakenly thinks she is loved."

The wrinkles between his eyebrows became deeper and deeper.

I don't know why I didn't mean it, but Riesch understood from the beginning.

Lord Arnold must have known I existed.

They must have picked up signs and footsteps at the corner of the hallway.

It must have been with some intent that I made such a statement in such a situation.

That's why he went back to the hallway and played his fiancée, who knew nothing, pretending to be 'I'm here now'.

Arnold had a bitter face for a while, but eventually opened his mouth.

"... in your behavior earlier, I don't think you were playing 'bad wife'."

"Eh!? Could it have failed!?"

That's not what I meant.

Then he leans down and mutters after sighing.

"... you didn't mind hitting me anyway."

"Eh?"

After hearing an unexpected remark, Riesch was honestly surprised.

(... do you remember this feeling of guilt towards me...?)

That's why if Riesch goes out there normally, there's no point in lying to Schneider.

"It would be more refreshing for you to tell me your intentions than to beat His Highness."

……

"I tried to tell you, but don't worry, I don't think you can tell me.- Your Highness's dinner, right? "

While at the Grand Shrine, the monks will prepare the meal.I've been drinking tea earlier, so I don't think we've dropped the cooking fire yet.

(For dinner, should I ask Oliver first....)

Arnold was surprised to think that way.

"I don't trust people who don't tell you anything."

――……

Reaching back to the words of warning, Reese blinked.

Is it because of the lighting in the hallway?Arnold's sea colored eyes were smoking some dark light.

"As it is, it will only be conveniently used by me."

"Your Highness....."

Riesch looks straight in the eye and tells her clearly.

"It's not just words that you need to trust people."

"... what?"

Maybe Arnold didn't notice?

His behavior so far is a good basis for trust.

"I told you in the daytime on the church balcony, right?I think there's always a reason when you pretend to be mean. "

Once the words were separated, Riesch smiled with a smile.

"I won't say, 'Lord Arnold, trust me, too.'... you must know that it's a character that can't be easily thrown away. "

……

Arnold glances slightly.

After that, she sighed a small sigh and murmured with her eyes down.

"... I already know that."

I really think that's good.

Arnold, on the other hand, once again looked Riesch in the eye and said.

"I apologize for making you uncomfortable.What do you want me to do? "

"It's no excuse. And don't worry, I'm not going to be a more convenient fiancé!"

……

Arnold looked a little wary when he smiled.

(Fufufu, you seem to have a bad feeling.However, I will make you feel guilty as I showed you earlier!)

The best way to negotiate is when they apologize to us.

One of the things I've learned in merchant life is that it's unexpectedly effective.

"First of all, I need your permission to help prepare Miriam for the festival."

Help with the festival?

Arnold looks like he was thrown into his mouth with something terrible.

"No, the Order asked you to do it."

"Isn't the details good?And then, one more favor. "

……

"No, I'll add two after all.If you can think of anything else, you can negotiate it one by one! "

…………

That's how Arnold finally drank what Richie had poked at me.
