Chapter 291: The Princesses’ Imaginations
“Oh, to think you’ve already gone that far… Elizalina’s assertiveness is something I must learn from as well.”
“Right~? The more charming the boy you’re after is, the sooner you have to propose, or a love rival will snatch him away~!”
“Snatched away by a love rival, huh…”
Rezamiliana seemed to have something on her mind regarding Elizalina’s mention of a love rival.
However, Felisiana wasn’t in any state to worry about that right now.
I thought it was strange that even Elizalina-anesama would go as far as holding Lux-kun’s hand in both of hers and hugging him, but… so at that time, she was proposing to Lux-kun.
As she recalled Elizalina’s actions and Lux’s reaction from that moment, Felisiana felt everything click into place.
Then the reason she held such an event today was to warmly welcome Lux-kun as the next king as soon as they became engaged, and to prove that to him… perhaps.
That itself wasn’t necessarily a bad thing for Felisiana either.
As mentioned earlier, Felisiana also wanted Lux to become king.
Even so… as she was thinking that,
Elizalina opened her mouth and spoke in a cheerful voice.
“Oh, right! If I end up united with that boy, then next time you big sisters should hold an event to celebrate our happiness!”
“…!”
Felisiana nearly let out an angry shout at that, but somehow held it back.
Then, in response to Elizalina’s words, Rezamiliana spoke.
“Of course. If my younger sister is to be united with the man she loves, then we shall celebrate it as a nation.”
“Thank you~! Felisiana, you’ll celebrate too if I end up with the boy I love, right?”
“…”
Being addressed like that by Elizalina only made Felisiana’s killing intent toward her grow stronger.
Celebrate if Elizalina-anesama and Lux-kun are celebrated? There’s no way I would, and there’s no way I’d allow the two of them to be united.
Naturally, Elizalina was surely well aware that Felisiana felt that way.
However, with Rezamiliana present, Felisiana couldn’t speak her true feelings.
“Yes, of course, Elizalina-anesama.”
And so, putting on the appearance of a younger sister congratulating her elder, she said that…
“Thank you~! Felisiana! If my adorable little sister celebrates me, then I’ll take full responsibility for making that boy happy!”
Elizalina once again returned words that sounded like a provocation toward Felisiana.
However, Felisiana somehow held back her anger again and spoke.
“But wasn’t the man you suddenly brought up such a proposal to quite troubled by it, Elizalina-anesama?”
Since she could only judge Lux’s reaction from his movements and expressions, Felisiana asked to probe for more details.
Elizalina then replied with a smile.
“He did seem a little troubled, but it ended on a good note! If we can get engaged, I think we’ll be all lovey-dovey in the future~!”
Would it really be so wrong if I just cut this woman down? It’d be fine by now, wouldn’t it?
If they had been alone together, Felisiana might have already drawn her sword…
But since her elder sister Rezamiliana, who was also highly skilled with the sword, was here, she restrained herself to deep killing intent alone.
Then Rezamiliana muttered, sounding unaccustomed to the words.
“Love, love…?”
“That’s right! Lovey-dovey! Rezamiliana-oneesama, you’d want to be all flirty and lovey-dovey with the boy you want to get engaged to as well, right?”
“W-what… no, I…”
Though she tried to deny it, Rezamiliana was clearly flustered.
But to break down Rezamiliana’s defenses, Elizalina continued.
“Come on, try imagining it. Snuggling close to that boy, feeding each other food.”
Just as Elizalina said, Rezamiliana did.
And Felisiana and even Elizalina herself each imagined that scene with the person they loved in mind.
As a result, Felisiana’s cheeks flushed as she slightly lifted the corners of her lips.
Rezamiliana’s cheeks also faintly reddened.
Elizalina, her cheeks flushed, wore a blissful smile.
…That the three of them were all thinking of the very same person was something no one yet knew.
