Chapter 26

SOS!!! Hey 1STKISSNOVEL! DO NOT STEAL MY TRANSLATION!!! \nI will do my own thing and work hard to win the favor of the southern nobles. Of course, Siegfried attracts people’s attention even if he stands still.

 

“Hmph.”

 

I turned my head away from staring at nothing in particular. I couldn’t forgive Siegfried for what he had done last night no matter how much I thought about it.

 

Thankfully, Count Paresa was tight-lipped, because if the rumors spread, I’d be in very big trouble. I must cut-off all contact with Siegfried before anything happens again. It was enough to see the caves from afar.

 

Anyways, Siegfried is going to leave Ellifritz after the monster subjugation, so we won’t see each other after that. Maybe after a while when it is time for him to succeed the throne, I will be able to see him from a distance.

 

“What are you thinking?”

 

I was just stirring my soup when Killian asked, after he finished wolfing all his food, probably because he was hungry.

 

“I was thinking about the consequences of a thoughtless action… No, what am I saying? I don’t usually eat hot things, so I’m just waiting until it cools down.”

 

“I see.”

 

“Yes, it’s that.”

 

I already felt that Killian wasn’t very good with words since the first time we met, but what’s with his reaction? He did make some weird comments just now.

 

“Let’s start moving again before it gets dark.”

 

Abbysion rose from his seat. One by one, the party got up and got on the horse.

 

I also brought the horse I tied on a tree and this time, I planned on riding the horse side by side with Kilian.

 

Time really goes by quickly as we were having casual conversations; the other nobles were cumbersome to deal with.

 

The young aristocrats kept showing their affections towards me, while other older nobles were anxious as they couldn’t introduce their sons to me.

 

Ellifritz were a large noble family with the greatest power and status in the South, and I was the only woman among the direct blood relatives of our family. It wasn’t that I didn’t understand their actions towards me, but they were all just annoying to me. All of them are not taller than 190. Not qualified.

 

At least they didn’t know they were annoying me when I’m with Killian, but I also couldn’t approach him hastily, so I was using Killian as a shield a little bit.

 

I moved away with Killian and drove my horse forward leisurely. Then in response to Killian who asked again how to kill a Siren, I laughed while saying, 

 

“It’s alright! I was wrong too! I didn’t even consider how Your Highness would feel, and I think I shouldn’t have drawn a line between us.”

 

But my mouth was already ranting out like crazy. I can’t stop it. I quickly shut it close.

 

“Is that so?” Then Siegfried, who had been exuding a gloomy atmosphere not too long ago, raised up the corners of his mouth. I was a little surprised at the sudden change of his mood.

 

“Is that really so?”

 

“Y-yes.”

 

“Does that mean I didn’t burden you? And you’re retracting your statement that you don’t like it?”

 

Oh, was that what I meant? As I was pondering, Siegfried lowered the corners of his eyes again.

 

“No?”

 

“No, that’s right!”

 

I couldn’t even call this a proper conversation. Siegfried unilaterally used his beauty and I was only swayed by it.

 

“Does that mean that you will forgive me for anything about Count Paresa?”

 

“It’s a bit….”

 

“You can’t?”

 

“It’s possible. I can’t even remember who Count Paresa was.”

 

“Of course it is.”

 

At that time, Siegfried closed his eyes and smiled.

 

… He truly has a face with the talent to captivate people.
