Chapter 56:Ā Marriage Consideration and Guilt
After I safely finished dancing to a long song, I exited the circle of dancing people with Ricardo.
(Itās a miracle; I didnāt step on Ricardoās footā¦!)
I would like to compliment myself who had finished dancing one song without any failure.
(Somehow, Ricardo seems tiredā¦ but maybe heās embarrassed. Or perhaps he exerted his nerves to avoid his foot being stepped on?)
The current me, I felt that my current figure wasnāt the kind that people would be embarrassed to dance withā¦ or so I thought.
Even when walking together, my companion wouldnāt be ashamed of me. Except for my lack of dancing talent.
[Would you like to take a break?]
[Aa, yes. There are chairs over there.]
I was about to head to the corner of the venue with Ricardoā¦ but I was called from behind.
[Miss Britney, if you do not mind, will you accompany me for one song?]
When I looked back, I saw the person who called me and reflexively stiffened my face.
The person who appeared was the dreaded prince of the northern country. The one who contributed to the execution of Britney in the original story, Lucas Leah Phosphiro.
It was a great invitation, but I wished to refuse it vehemently.
(Iām reluctant and scared that, if by chance, I was to step on his footā¦ the chance of my execution will increase!)
While I was conflicted, Ricardo stood in front of me.
[Iām sorry, but Britney is having troubles with her footwear. I was going to take her to rest there.]
[ā¦Is that so, how disappointing.]
I didnāt have foot sores, but it seemed that Ricardo made it up to cover for me.
Now that I remembered it, earlier when I met Lucas for the first time, he also took me away quickly.
(Perhaps, he noticed that Iām not good with him? So he takes it upon himself to help me?)
If thatās the case, then Ricardo was an incredibly nice boyā¦!
[Since you have shoe sores, then it would be unreasonable to ask you to dance. There will be a chance to meet you again someday, and at that time Iāll ask you again.]
I repeatedly chanted in my mind that āI donāt want to be with you!ā while answering āEe, certainlyā¦ā with a laudable face.
With the prince as the other party, itās impossible for me to say my true feelings.
We parted with Lucas with a smile and rested on the chairs.
Being a gentleman, Ricardo was a perfect escort though he was a bit stiff.
[No, I also want to rest.]
Ricardo whose ears had turned red changed the topic to hide his embarrassment.
[By the way Britney, are you going to stay at the capital city for a while?]
[Un, His Highness the crown prince, wants me to participate in the castleās exhibitionā¦ since ojii-samaās acquaintance lives near the castle, I will stay with him.]
[Is that so, Iām going to participate in that event too. Itās been a long time since Britney participates in a party.]
[Un, there were various things last yearā¦ but, for the sake of my marriage, I will go to a lot of parties this year!]
[ā¦Marriage? You, arenāt you still 14 years old?]
Ricardo replied with a shocked face.
[Un, thatās right. But Ryuze-oniisama told me ābe sure to find a fiancĆ© candidate by the age of 15 years oldā, soā¦]
[A, any expectations for your companion?]
[None since it was impossible for me to be seen in such light so far because of my body shape. Iāll try my best.]
[Is, is that soā¦ but isnāt it too early?]
[I also think so, but Ryuze-oniisama said that āif you fail, Iāll send you to the capital cityā. But I want to live in the countryside if possible.]
That said, Ricardo opened his mouth a little.
[Perhapsā¦ is it my fault? Since I broke my engagement with you in the pastā¦]
[Itās not Ricardoās fault! If I am a man, I donāt want to engage myself with my past self eitherā¦! I was 12 years old that time, but the engagement with me must be awful.]
I myself thought of it as a punishment game.
I felt sorry for Ricardo because of the fraud that Ryuze prepared in my personal profile.
TN: Just propose yourself already Ricardo. Or else Britney would be snatched away by other people you know.
