Night. 

We decided to camp outside the forest and sat around a bonfire talking. 

Using a cut-down log as a chair, we drink drinks poured into metal cups. 

At night, if you look up at the sky, you will see a star full of sky. 

Unfortunately, you can hear the sounds of beasts and monsters from the nearby forest. 

The mood is ruined. 

I could hear the sound of wood popping from the bonfire. 

Noel, who was sitting next to me, put her lips to the cup and took a drink, which was hot and she was hurriedly blowing on it. 

Watching the situation, Jilk and the others took out their musical instruments. 

“Since we are going to enter the old castle tomorrow, let’s at least have a good time today.” 

Then he starts playing an instrument, which is a guitar-like instrument. 

As soon as the music started playing, Noel gave her honest opinion of how we were doing. 

“It’s going to be a tough day tomorrow, but everyone seems to be having fun.” 

“They force their way to follow me, they really can’t read the air, can they.” 

“Haha, though Leon can’t read either.” 

I was told that I am usually the one who doesn’t read the air, and as I tried to argue with her, a red lens looking at me and a blue lens came into the edge of my vision. 

Luxion and Creare are watching what I say and do. 

I decide it’s best that I don’t make any careless arguments, so I talk to Noel. 

“Well, these guys will be fine.” 

“No one’s ever been in this old castle, right? Arre? The fact that there is a castle means that someone has been there in the past, so are we stepping in?” 

“According to Luxion and Creare, no one has set foot in the area in hundreds of years. 

That’s why both Ange and Livia are so excited.” 

I looked in the opposite direction from where Noel was, and there Ange was excitedly talking to Livia. 

“Tomorrow I will definitely find the treasure. Livia will help me, right?” 

“Eh? We’re all supposed to be exploring together, right?” 

“Livia ―― they are not our companions, they are our rivals. For once, Leon will be our enemy too.” 

The way Ange looked at me was somewhat provocative. 

Give me a break. Even though this time was supposed to be a treasure hunt so we could make up? 

“I also want to go on a treasure hunt with you two.” She shows reluctance, but Ange is adamant. 

“No. I will join Livia and Noel. We will find the treasure.” 

At these words, Noel, who was sitting on the other side, jolted. 

“Eh? I’m with Angelica-san and Livia-chan?!” 

Apparently, she hadn’t heard it. Livia laughed bitterly. 

“Wouldn’t it be more fun if we all explored together?” However, Ange insisted on going separately from me. “Not this time” 

Ange, who turned her face away from me, was different from before. 

It seems that she wants to keep a distance from me. 

“――Did I upset Ange in some way?” 

As I’m puzzled, Erika approaches and talks to me. 

Erika wore a coat because it was cold at night. 

“Isn’t it okay? Let Angelica-san and the others do as they please.” 

“Erika――sama?” 

I almost called her by her name, but then I hurriedly added “sama” to it. 

Erika brings her face close to mine and gives me a whisper. 

“Didn’t I tell you that she wanted uncle’s acknowledgment, right?” 

“Aa, that’s what you mean. Then I’d better let Ange and her team take the honor?” This treasure hunt was planned with the idea of making up with Ange. 

Then I concluded that it would be better to let Ange take the honor, and Erika gave me a dumbfounded look. 


“Eh, is it no good?” 

“It’s very no good. She is not someone who is happy to cut corners.” 

So I was whispering with Erika, and before I knew it, Ange, Livia ―― and Noel, were giving us cold stares. 

Hih! A voice leaks from the back of my throat, but Erika doesn’t seem surprised. 

“Don’t be wary, I’m not trying to take Leon-dono.” 

I guess they cannot believe such words of Erika. 

Ange mentions Milene-san’s name. 

“Even if Erika-sama intends to do so, the queen is different. She is a person who does not hesitate to do what she thinks is best.” 

I decided to keep quiet because I was afraid I would offend Ange again if I mentioned that Milene-san would not do such a thing. 

However, I just don’t feel comfortable here somehow. 

Erika looked troubled. 

“My mother has lived as royalty. I can’t blame her for that decision. But I have a 

fiance e.” 

I rolled my eyes when I heard that. 

“Lie ?!” 

Then Marie, who was sitting a short distance away, stood up and dropped the cup in her hand. 

“Erika――sama, are you engaged?” 

Julius, who was nearby, explains to Marie, whose voice is trembling, in a bewildered tone. 

“Erika has engaged to a legitimate son of the Fraser family a long time ago.” 

“I haven’t heard that!” 

“No, because I didn’t think it was something I could tell you, either.” 

“That’s not what I meant!” 

Julius and the rest of the guys were tilting their heads when they saw Marie surprised by Erika’s engagement. 

Ange glares at Marie. 

“What are you surprised about? Erika-sama is a princess. At her age, it’s not surprising that she has a fiance e.” 

When Ange speaks of common sense ―― the norm in this world, Marie turns her head down. 

“That’s terrible” 

As she sat down, Kara and Kyle were bringing Marie a new cup. 

My cheeks are drawn back too. 

“Ah~, a political marriage or something?” I asked Erika and she gave a small nod. 

However, she didn’t look sad. 

She has kind eyes that seem to say, “What a helpless person~” when she looks at Marie. 

“For various reasons, it was decided that I would marry into the Fraser family. I have no complaints.” 

“No, you have, right? Don’t you have someone you like? Look, I’ll help you about it.” 

If my niece from a previous life is trying to get married for political reasons, I will stop it as her uncle. 

That was the statement I meant to make, but Ange grabbed my arm. 

“Don’t do it. Besides, rumor has it that she and Eriya are getting along just fine.” 

“Eriya? Is that your fiance?” 

“[Eriya Rafa Fraser]. He is the legitimate son of a marquis. He is in charge of the border with Raschel.” 

I made a complicated face, and Erika laughed. 

 

“It’s okay, I’m convinced.” 

“Convinced?” 

Erika puts her left hand on her chest. 

“Because I am a princess.” 

” ―― Is that reason enough to convince you?” I never understood why she could smile. 

Erika must have guessed it. 

But she has no intention of continuing the conversation. 

“We’ll talk about it later. It’s almost time to rest. We’re going to be busy tomorrow, aren’t we?” 

Erika’s statement made me take the rest today.
