Chapter 71: The Capital City’s Perfume and Goal Achievement?

<hr>

 

Angela had collapsed and after the event in which she had a long talk with the crown prince… I returned to my lodging.

Prince Marlow was very grateful.

He was now moving to find out the truth about Angela’s mindless remarks.

When we bid farewell, Prince Marlow told me while he was surprised by the miracle of the conversation with Angela “I understand my sister’s feelings a little now, so I might be able to solve it”.

Well, today was the day Ricardo would guide me for a tour of the capital city.

This honest man rode a carriage to my lodging to greet me.

 

[Britney, is there a place you want to go?]

[I would like to go to popular shops of the capital city. Since I want to obtain information that seem useful for my territory.]

[You sure are diligent. I understand, if that’s the case, then I have an idea.]

 

We sat opposite of each other in the small carriage.

I remembered the incident when we had a quick intimacy at the masked party and it made me felt a little restless.

 

[Nearby, there is a famous perfumery store that’s popular in the capital. I think you’ll be interested in it.]

[Un, I’m happy. Thanks, Ricardo.]

 

Ricardo understood me well; he didn’t mention a confectionary store.

 

[By the way, Britney. What will you do after you return to your territory? If I’m not mistaken, you, you said that you want to get married?]

[Aa, that’s right. When I went to the party, I thought I could manage it somehow. But no one came to greet me.]

[The mask… must have been the cause. The event might not be suitable to find a fiancé candidate. And you were mostly talking to me and the crown prince.]

[…I did talk to other people a bit, but they were either married or engaged already.]

[Is, is that so.]

 

Ricardo, who seemed somewhat fidgety, looked at me.

 

[That, your engagement… if you are fine with it, can I apply for it?]

[E… is it about your talk at the party?]

 

During the party, Ricardo had talked about my engagement for argument’s sake—that’s the topic of the discussion.

 

[Aa, that’s it. If it’s my future that you’re worried about… I will move to take over my family’s territory in the future. Although I can’t do it right now, in the future I would like to succeed the Astaru earldom. Of course, I don’t intend to force my engagement and I want to respect your will. I’m an insincere man who had discarded our engagement twice after all.]

 

When it was during the party, our talk was just “for argument’s sake”, but if Ricardo really meant what he said, then there was nothing better for me.

If it’s Ricardo, I had a feeling that we would live together cordially.

And it would be in time for my agreement with Ryuze.

 

[Ricardo, do you really want me? I’m happy if Ricardo is my partner.]

[…! Of, of course. I’m also happy if I can do over our engagement. Are you truly fine with it?]

[Un, if I’m going to get engaged anyway, Ricardo who is my friend is better than someone I do not know.]

[Then, I’ll officially inform Earl Hakusu about our engagement at a later date.]

[If it’s Ryuze-oniisama, surely he’ll accept it.]

 

At the same time we finished talking, the carriage arrived at the popular perfumery store.

 

[I can’t explain it since I’m not familiar with perfumes.]

[It’s alright, I also only know the basics. Let’s see it together.]

 

Both of us entered the store together.

This store mainly dealt with wealthy customers, the atmosphere inside was also high quality.

The shopkeeper immediately introduced the popular perfumes… but.

 

[Uu…!]

 

When I sniffed the perfume sample, I reflexively stopped my breath.

 

(It, it stinks! Is this really what I want to learn!?)

 

Whatever it was, it had a very intense smell. Anyway, the scent was too strong…!

 

[This is a new perfume, it’s fragrance is said to attract the opposite sex.]

[E, really!?]

 

Next to me, Ricardo was in agony due to the smell.

Far from being attracted to the smell, it was more likely for him to run away.

 

[The raw material is the secretion from the sack of a male musk deer located at its abdomen; it’s a very high quality item…]\n
