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

When you squeal, you make a loud sound.

That must have been the sound of Arnold's sword falling. Apparently, he held Riesch until he threw the sword he was holding.

The moment I realized it, I felt like I could stop breathing.

"Arnold, Your Highness."

He cries out desperately and somehow calls out his name.

My heart cracked and I chopped the bell early. It's only natural that Riesch is now trapped in Arnold's arms.

"Ah, um...!

Without being allowed to let go for some reason, Riesch continued her words in a hurry.

"I'm sorry if I surprised you. But, Your Highness..."

I squeezed Arnold's jacket. If it's true, I'd like to talk with my eyes, but I don't think I can raise my face right now.

"Your Highness already knows, don't you? If I were this far, I would be able to fly without a problem."

"... I see. It's like jumping off a balcony to the ground."

"Then why are you like this...?"

……

A few seconds of silence persisted.

When he thought so, Arnold hugged Richie and whispered evilly.

"... even if I knew it, I couldn't help it because it moved reflectively."

Breathe with unexpected answers.

When he upset Riesch, he should have always had an unbelievable smile.

But now it sounds like a slightly reckless sound that seems unintentional. If you behave differently, we'll go mad too.

With her arms relaxed, Rieschett quickly walked away from him.

Then he hurried to pick up Arnold's sword. You threw it for Riesch, but it's important to the swordsman.

Thank you very much.

Arnold received the offered sword with a slightly more complicated face.

After that, I took my gaze away from Riesch and turned towards you. Does Arnold feel awkward?

"... why did you jump in the first place? I wish I'd gone out the hallway once and entered this room through the door."

That's what he told me to deceive him, and Riesch blinked.

"Through the door?

"From the door."

"Instead of jumping off the balcony, is it?

"Yes, it is."

……

After thinking calmly about what was said, Riesch finally noticed.

"... sure!?

"Ha, ha."

The bent Arnold laughed small.

After raising his face, he turned to a very soft, yet mean, gaze.

"It's the same time you tried to get past the 'shortest'."

"... what are you talking about?!

I have an idea, but I dare to cut the syllable thoroughly.

That said, Arnold is tolerant of what Riesch does.

Instead of being stunned or scolded, I did not preach my common sense of being a princess, so I could look at it with pleasure.

(At first, I thought you were just playing with me.)

Because it looks really fun, I don't really get angry either.

He's a weird guy. That said, Arnold must have a bitter face.

"By the way, why does His Highness have a sword?

When asked, he looks up at the fluorescent.

"This light was an illusion of the lights of the pine."

……

Listen to it and be convinced.

Fluorescent light flashes at regular intervals. Draw a line of light, break it once and repeat it again.

(If you ask me, it's similar.)

Take a look on the battlefield.

Correctly, it can be said to be similar to the movement of a reconnaissance unit approaching while hiding in the shadows, relying on the lights of a pine.

Of course, it doesn't look so much like it's bound right away. Not to mention the fact that this is the castle, so you should know that such vigilance is worrying.

It would have been natural for Arnold to still have the sword.

(Memories of the battlefield are deeply rooted in this person.....)

If she hadn't lived a knight's life, she might not have understood it at all.

Or were you afraid of Arnold or more distant than necessary?

But Riesch is not standing here right now.

"... if I were you."

and pointed to the wall that was supposed to be on the other side of the darkness.

"We'll make a pit between the walls and place archers. I'd like to put a bell in every narrow space so I can 'warn' you with a loud sound so you can defeat anyone but the intruder you find."

……

He looks up at the man who was once his enemy and laughs like a challenge.

Arnold looked surprised for a moment and then immediately said something funny.

"... the sound is more troublesome, but the bow is not a threat. Wherever you go, you value the" virtue of the knight "and the archers see it only as an auxiliary force. It has low refinement, and the accuracy of aiming is only known."

"Let's do it."

"Of course, I will investigate beforehand. So far, I've never been disturbed by a bow and left a soldier."

As far as Riesch knows, only the eastern continent will be respected by archers. If technology is not properly evaluated, this is not the case for first-class users.

Neither Arnold, who was hostile to the knight in his life, nor the threat of a bow at all. As for the position of the attacked side, I wanted you to be as vigilant as possible.

"If the castle becomes a battlefield in the first place, you on the defensive side are already in a weak state of war. So, what do we do?

"... if the opponent's general is you, I will deliberately drill a hole in the defense line and pretend to be defenseless."

"Oh, you're going to invite enemies?"

"Wouldn't His Majesty be wary and foolish enough to attack? Since the battle at Cage Castle is over, my most important item is" Never be understood as a disadvantage ". That's why I behave as if I was waiting, not running away, and stand in front of His Highness with dignity."

"This is interesting."

In a fluffy dance, Arnold continues to hang his elbows on the balcony handrail.

"The big increase in the number of soldiers is the key. This castle is the hardest to protect on the south side, but how do we make up for it?"

"I think we have to use the environment. For example, set it up..."

In that case, a strategy emerges from Arnold.

When Riesch thinks and draws up a plan, he breaks it immediately. While gazing at the beautiful light, Rieschett felt regretful and asked Arnold.

"... is there a spring of strategy in His Highness Arnold?

"That sounds good. Tactics presuppose a" weakness "in humans."

"Weaknesses..."

"Whether it's an attack on a castle where damage is likely to be severe, it's easier to poke at its weaknesses. For example, if you capture the women and children of that country and kill them miserably in front of the walls, enemy soldiers may come to help you by opening the gates themselves.... the idea of your hand comes to mind as much as you want."

Rieschett blinked.

I can't hear any emotions from the side of my face looking at the fluorescence. That's why Riesch told me.

"You don't like war."

……

Arnold looks at us with his eyebrows up.

"Normally, I think it's the opposite."

"Really? But I don't think anyone who likes war should look like that."

That said, he smiled, but he still had a bitter face.

Fluorescence approached, and Rieschetto followed it with a glance. A large grain of light blinked, lighting Arnold's hair and eyes.

(... ah)

His blue eyes reflected a star-like light.

Clear sea colored eyes look straight at Riesch. Rather than the fantastic flying fluorescence, Arnold's eyes took away his heart and Riesch groaned unexpectedly.

"Really, beautiful eyes...."

……

It seems that the unconscious words touched something about Arnold.

When he lowered his eyes slowly, the length of his eyelashes stood out. Arnold looks at Riesch and says:

"--These eyes are the same color as my father's."

The sound was soundless, even though it could be heard clearly here.
