Chapter 290: Good News
Once the three of them began eating together, Rezamiliana spoke to Felisiana.
“Felisiana, you said there was something you wanted to confirm with Elizalina. Do you want to take care of that first?”
“Ehh? Really? What is it you want to confirm with me?”
Elizalina asked, piggybacking on Rezamiliana’s words.
She already knows perfectly well what I want to confirm. It’s honestly so irritating.
Even thinking that, with Rezamiliana present.
Felisiana somehow held those feelings in check and opened her mouth.
“It’s a detailed matter related to my duties, and not something appropriate to discuss at the dining table, so I’ll refrain for now.”
“I wouldn’t really mind though.”
“I don’t mind either, but if Felisiana is being considerate and doesn’t wish to discuss such matters at a table shared by us sisters, then I’ll accept that consideration.”
“Okaaay.”
After Elizalina replied in a light tone, Rezamiliana paused briefly before speaking again.
“Then, as planned, let’s talk about the event Elizalina hosted today. Were there any problems?”
“Yeah. Nothing problematic happened at all, and everyone seemed to be having fun.”
“I see. Hearing that first is a relief, at least.”
From Felisiana’s perspective as well, there really hadn’t been any issues with the atmosphere at the venue of the event Elizalina hosted today.
If anything, it had looked like everyone came together to liven things up and enjoy themselves.
But the biggest issue was.
“Then, now to the main point. For what purpose was today’s event held?”
Rezamiliana asked Elizalina exactly what Felisiana had just been thinking.
In response, Elizalina spoke as casually as ever.
“I think you’ll hear about it soon even if I don’t say it here, but at today’s event, I made a big announcement that a man I want to get engaged to has appeared.”
“A big announcement?”
“Yeah. Of course, the engagement hasn’t been decided yet, so I didn’t reveal the man’s name, but I announced that, among the three princesses, one has finally appeared who wishes to become engaged. I also added that if I do end up getting engaged to him, it would mean the birth of the next king. On top of that, there were a lot of nobles with a strong tendency to spread rumors among those invited today, so I think this will spread quickly both inside and outside the country.”
After hearing Elizalina’s words, Rezamiliana paused for a moment before speaking.
“To think you went that far. Still, the birth of the next king is quite a bold claim.”
“That part was definitely said big to build excitement, but I truly believe that if that boy becomes king, this country will become better.”
“…”
Hearing Elizalina say that in such a calm tone, Felisiana found herself agreeing with her on this point alone.
If Lux were to become king, this country would become even better.
That was a belief Felisiana herself had held onto for a long time.
“To think there’s someone who could make Elizalina say that much. I’m a little interested myself.”
In response to those words from Rezamiliana.
Elizalina clapped her hands and spoke in a loud voice.
“Then I’ve got some good news for you, Rezamiliana-oneesama.”
“What is it?”
Asked in her usual calm tone, Rezamiliana listened as Elizalina replied brightly.
“Today, I proposed to the boy I want to get engaged to, so if he accepts my proposal tomorrow, I’ll introduce him to you as early as tomorrow, Rezamiliana-oneesama.”
“…!”
Up until now, Felisiana had known most of what had been discussed to some extent, so it hadn’t surprised her.
But Elizalina-anesama proposed to Lux-kun?
“…”
This was the first time she’d heard that Elizalina had proposed to Lux, and it was something she’d never even imagined.
Faced with Elizalina’s words, Felisiana could only sit there in shock.
