人与ZO〇交

I panicked, stood up, and curtseyed.

"I was not expecting the Crown Prince to be here, and was being rude! I\'m very sorry!"

"It\'s all right. Sit down, Rio."

The Crown Prince motioned for me to sit down. I turned my head away and squeezed my dress.

What should I do? I\'ve been so careful with .......

"Since that time, I wanted to talk with you face to face, but you avoided me, and for various reasons, I was obstructed. "

The only contact I have with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is at the Magic Academy. I\'ve heard that some of my classmates as well as my brother have been working to prevent me from ever meeting the crown prince.

"I would like to properly apologize to you today. I\'m sorry that I went ahead with the engagement without considering your feelings."

"......no."

He slowly released a deep breath. It looks like he has finally decided what he wants to say.

"Ever since I first met you when I was ten years old, I\'ve been slowly becoming increasingly attracted to you. You were so cute when you hid behind Sieg being shy. But as you grew older, you began to smile at me."

Things seem to be going in a strange direction. The crown prince continued to talk.

"I loved you so much, I didn\'t want to let anyone take you from me. That\'s why I took such a bold action by getting engaged. I don\'t ask you to forgive me. But I cannot give up on you. This time I want to ask for a formal engagement. Will you please try to consider this prospect?"

What was he talking about?

The next moment, I found myself voicing my thoughts out loud.

"I must refuse!"

My voice was a little hoarse, but if I didn\'t firmly express my feelings here, I would end up like I did in my previous life.

"Rio ......"

"I know it\'s not polite to say this," I continued, "I can not meet Your Royal Highness\' feelings. I have already made up my mind as to what I want to do with my future."

"Does that ...... mean you have someone else in mind?"

It is true that I have had someone in my heart since I was a child, no, even before I began my life as a Katariona. But it\'s not a question of a love affair.

"I wish to work at a magic institute in the future. I want to use my magical attributes to support my country. That\'s what I\'m thinking."

"If it is for the sake of the country, there is also the way to lead the country as the future mother of the nation."

"There are things that cannot be seen in the royal palace. I would like to go there and see for myself. Your Highness knows best that the royal family is restricted in its activities."

"...... It is."

The Environmental Department of the Magic Institute has many tasks to investigate the field, so they never spend the majority of the year in the same place.

And even if that happens, Leon has vowed to be with me all the way.

It was also for May\'s sake that I applied for a job at the Magic Academy.

As long as the Forbidden Magic continues, May\'s journey will never end. I want to finish the long journey of my precious sister. And I want her to live happily as a normal girl.

The Magic Academy is a convenient place for her to receive information related to magic.

"Your Royal Highness. It seems that you have taken care of Rio for me ....... Thank you, but as I am the escort for this evening, I would appreciate it if you would give up your seat."

Leon returned. He also has a pile of food on his plate. I could see a slight wrinkle between his eyes. Could it be that he was angry?

"Oh, Leon. Are you the escort for Rio tonight?"

The crown prince hurriedly got up from his seat.

He straightened his back and narrowed his eyes when he came face to face with Leon.

The crown prince took a step back. I wondered if he was pressured by Leon\'s power. The majesty of a god is truly something that no human can resist.

"Your Royal Highness, as a vassal, I would like to make a suggestion. You are the one who will eventually bear the burden of this country. The country will not be able to stand if those who are in charge are carried away by their emotions. Find someone who is worthy to stand beside you."

This is a way of saying, "Don\'t lose yourself in love." I am asking you to give up on me.

"......, but..."

Even now, his determination to insist on it is quite impressive. The other party is a god, but .......

"It\'s a good idea to give up now. You should listen to the advice of your subjects, brother."

"Chris ......."

Chris was standing behind me with arms crossed.

"Your talk with Rio has ended. And we\'re not done with the meet and greet yet. Let\'s get going."

"Oh, yeah, ......."

Chris pulled the crown prince away from us. As they left, Chris winked at me.

"Looks like you were able to speak your mind to the Crown Prince kid.

"Did you hear what I said?

"I\'m a god."

The cat god has a keen ear.

"Then you could have come to my aid."

I puffed out my cheeks.

"Don\'t be angry. You look like a balloon when you puff up your cheeks like that."

"Pardon me."

Leon began to eat the newly brought food.

"If Rio looked as stuck as she did at the Royal Ball, I was going to come to her aid. I was going to use my secret plan."

"Secret plan? What is it?"

"I don\'t need to use it anymore. For now. So it\'s a secret."

Leon savored his meal.

"I am getting more and more curious! Tell me, Leon."

Putting down his fork, Leon smiled and placed his hand over mine. His hand is large and warm.

"Rio, you were beautiful when you were standing up for yourself."

That\'s foul! I can\'t believe he just said that!

"Indeed, the young lady who dumped the crown prince dumbcrap was magnificent."

Marie suddenly appeared from my shadow. She used the shadow walk.

"Marie, have you been here all along?"

"Yes. I saw the Crown Prince Dumbcrap making his way to milady."

"Your dark magic is very valuable. What will you do if he discovers it?"

Those who possess both light and dark attributes are valuable. What if they find out that Marie has dark magic? I would hate for Marie to live an undesirable life because of it.

"You are worried about me? You\'re so kind, milady."

I put the strawberry sorbet on the table and she knelt at my feet.

"Marie is as important to me as my sister," I said, "I want you to be happy."

I took both of her hands and gently wrapped them with mine.

But then, I saw it. I saw a suspicious object glittering from Marie\'s maidservant sleeve .......

"Don\'t worry. I am happy to be by your side, Miss."

"Yes, yes. Thank you."

I pretended not to see it. I didn\'t see it. There is no such thing as a dark weapon.......
