Chapter 20: My engagement partner is really loved by the knights
Twenty-one elite knights of the Duke family have arrived.
However, everyone is glaring at me! why!?
Ah! I see ā¦ Iām handcuffed, so I wonder if Iām considered to be a bandit who aimed at the princess?
Letās get rid of the misunderstanding as soon as possible.
āHeās wearing a [magic bracelet], but heās not a bandit. It doesnāt have a chain, right?ā
My brother introduced me to everyone, but they still glared at me ā¦
āBrother ā¦ the knights are glaring at me, why?ā
I deliberately asked my brother a question with a voice that could be heard by the knights.
āIām always impressed by your thickness ā¦ I would be frozen if I was glared at by so many elites. Donāt hurt yourselfā¦ ā
āI want to know the reason rather than clear the blame ā¦ I donāt think Iām going to be killed by people I met for the first time today ā¦ā
āYou guys! How dare you intimidate my younger brother !? How dare you hold murderous intentions against a prince! stand down! ā
āYeah! Brother is cool ?ā
With the dignified words of my brother, everyoneās eyes quickly turned down.
Disrespect for the royal family ā¦ My brother could lop their heads right there with dignity. Even if Iām rotten, Iām still royalty.
āBrotherā¦ what frozen? On the contrary, the other people are scared ā¦ honestly, brother was far more scary than the knights.ā
The princess, who was watching the proceedings, spoke to the knights.
āWhat do you mean by this? He may be your lord in the future ā¦ Why are the elite knights of the Duchy doing this? Youāre not risking your neck alone by showing such rudeness? Even your lord could be implicated, by explicitly intentionally directing killing intent towards the royal family of a nation. Itās an outrage that I canāt complain about even if my uncle is blamed. ā
āApologies, Your Highness!ā
āWhy do you apologize to me? The person you should apologize to is different.ā
āā Your Highness Luke, weāre very sorry ā¦ Please forgive us. āā
All the knights of the Dukeās family bowed and apologized.
āIsnāt it useless to accept an apology when itās only in form?ā
āCora, Luke! Youāre supposed to say,āIāll accept the apologyā even if you know this! Things have a tide ā¦ You have to give them the opportunity to put down their swords. , Iāll have to leave soon, and later youāll have to face them on your own. ā
Thereās no doubt that what my brother says is trueā¦
āBut brother. Receiving a meaningless apology wonāt help. Iād rather know why. Princess, could you help me?ā
āI understand ā¦ Captain Pile, Luke-sama said that to everyone, but there is something that all the knights think of Luke-sama in consensus, right?ā
āNo, such a thing ā¦ā
āThatās a lie ā¦ you should know my unique skill since youāre part of a Duchy? I wonāt forgive you .next time, if you lie, Iāll doubt your loyalty to the royal family ā¦ā
To lie to the princess of the royal family ā¦ If youāre a knight of this country, you canāt help saying the truth. Captain Pile looks like heās bitten a worm.
āKuh ā¦ all the knights in my territory yearn for Emilia samaā¦ā
I sighed once he answered as I thought ā¦ huh? You yearn for her? Do they like her? Did they glare at me because their love rival appeared?
āBecause I was told that I would suddenly be a son-in-law just last night, and this morning I was made to wake up without being told or allowed to eat breakfast. Iāve only been told that the other party is the daughter of a Dukeās family. ā
The knights look stunned when they see my [Magic Bracelet].
āSo, Luke sama didnāt come here as you wanted?ā
āHmm, thatās right. I havenāt been told how this happened ā¦ But what is the marriage of an aristocrat? The higher the family, the less choice the person has. Whether itās for the country, for the house, or for the people ā¦ ā
That said, I donāt think that at all. Itās not a joke for me as a modern personĀ to accept a forced marriage with a partner decided by my parents!
āLuke? ā¦ā
Ah! I got caught by the princess! I forgot that sheās a lie detector ā
āWere the knights here glaring at me with jealousy because they fell in love?ā
Letās change the topic and cheat before being thrust into the princess!?
āWell, thatās not the case ā¦ Iām sure everyone knows that weāre in the wrong position, even if weāre longing for her. Itās a very important marriage. None of us would complain if it was His Highness Jail ā¦ There are many rumors about His Highness Luke in this country ā¦ Half of the time when people say it everyone laughs and think itās ridiculous. I did too, but when I actually saw you, it was anāOrc Princeā who was even fatter than the rumors, so ā¦ we felt Emilia was pitiful ā¦ ā
āCaptain Pile! Choose your words!ā
āButĀ if I tell a lie to Her Highness ā¦ this time sheāll doubt my loyalty ā¦ā
This is a big miscalculation ā¦
Why does everyone know me in the neighboring country !?
āWhy does everyone know me?ā
The princess answered this.
āLuke ā¦ bards come from the Kingdom of Wolg on a regular basis and sing about you in a funny way ā¦ Iāve heard it several times ā¦ I took it half-seriously, but it was just a funny story like a joke. ā
āLuke is royalty! Didnāt you punish the bard in this country !?ā
My brother tries to take care of me, but I understand, so stop it ā¦
I never thought that the āPig Princeā legend was roaring even in this country.
āThey donāt sayā Luke-sama ā. Of course, they just say itāsā the son of a royal family. ā ā
āThatās about me even if you donāt give a name! Brother! It seems that Iām known in this country too! Can I return to the Kingdom of Wolg as it is?ā
āThatās impossible ā¦ Iām angry with father but what you did is your own fault. Give up ā¦ā
To be honest, I donāt like this anymore ā¦
I was hungry to make a comeback in this country that didnāt know me, but I was completely mistaken.
