The Love Square [HIATUS]

Chapter 39

[ McKenna POV ]

His Majesty And His Highness Aren't The Closest Of Siblings, But...

Even I'm Concerned And I'm Just His Cousin, So I'm Sure His Highness Must Be Feeling Far Worse.

I Then Leaned. "Though The Order Of Succession Is Irrefutable And There Is A Huge Gulf Between Your Highness And The Next In Line For The Throne, You Should Return Home Immediately." Heinry Then Sighed. "Yes, That Is What I Must Do. And I Must Listen To His Final Wishes."

"Should I Tell Emperor Sovieshu's Officials That You Will Be Returning?" I Asked Heinry. "I Suppose You Should" Heinry Then Pressed His Head At The Table.

"And...What About The Recipient Of Your Letters?" I Continued. "... McKenna" Heinry Then Looked At Me. "What Are My Chances If I Ask For Her Hand And Marriage?" He Asked. "Sorry?"

"...Nevermind" Heinry Muttered And Pressed His Head At The Table Again.

My Eyes Widen As Grand Duke Kaufman Punched Sovieshu. "...!"

Sovieshu Then Glared As He Was Punched By The Grand Duke, Sovieshu Then Punched Back But The Grand Duke Grabbed Sovieshu's Fist.

Suddenly Navier Yelled. "STOP IT!" She Then Was In Between The Grand Duke And Sovieshu.

"WHAT'S WRONG, YOUR MAJESTY?!" I Heard The Guards As They Rushed Towards Sovieshu.

Then All Of The Guards Pointed Their Swords At Grand Duke Kaufman. "Lower Your Swords!" Navier Ordered. "I Said Lower Them!"

The Guards Didn't Move One Bit And Still Pointing Their Swords At The Grand Duke And Just Glanced At Navier.

*Sigh* What's Wrong With Everyone These Days?

I Then Touched Sovieshu's Punched Face. "Tch, She Said Lower Your Swords." I Then Looked At All The Guards With A Frightening Expression.

They Then Lowered Their Swords Down (There Faces Are Like This Rn 😬) "There's No Need To Worry, Magic Is My Specialty So I Can Even Attack Even From This Distance." Lighting Then Started To Form At The Grand Dukes Hand. The Guards Then Raised Their Swords.

(・-・;)

I Then Sighed As I Sweat Dropped. "Grand Duke Kaufman--"

"Tch, She Said Lower Your Swords." Sovieshu Fixed His Jaw.
"Given To Your Reaction...It Seems That You, Atleaest, Must Harbor Feelings For The Empress."

Am I Hallucinating? Or Is This Even Real?

"Hmmph, I Am Simply Defending Her On The Grounds Of Common Decency. Asking Your Wife To Look Favorably On A Child Born Out Of Wedlock Does Not Seem Right To Me." The Grand Duke Answered.

"Out Of Wedlock? Rashta Is An Official Mistress. Ah, So Does The Emperor Of Luipt Stay True To Just One Woman Even If He's Locked In A Marriage Of Convenience? If So, Then I'll Chalk This Up To Cultural Differences."
