Chapter 118: Manami-sama

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

「「「Ren-sama, congratulations for being promoted to A-rank!」」」」

"Ah, thank you very much everyone."

"Black Flower Princess... That nickname really suits Ren-sama."

"Haha.... Thank you..."

The next day after we stayed the night at the inn, we hung around the inn until afternoon and returned to Fer-san's mansion in the evening. When we arrived there, Theo-san and the other servants were already standing in line, waiting for us. They congratulated me for getting promoted in unison.

Theo-san complimented me about my nickname but I didn't feel happy hearing his compliment in the slightest.Well I was still an adult so I still smiled and accepted his compliment while chuckling softly. I hoped my smile didn't look too forced.... But still, as I expected, my nickname was already spreading everywhere...Haah...

"Ren-sama! What a lovely nickname you have! From now on, during your stay in the royal capital, I will make sure you have the hairstyle and clothes fitting to be called a 'princess'!"

"... I will leave it all to you."

When I returned to my room to get changed, Corey-san came to bring me tea. I already gave up on a lot of things so when Corey-san said that, I only nodded in agreement.

On that very day, we had an extravagant meal as usual but in today's menu, the people of this mansion had put more care into the meal. The thoughtfulness of everyone in this mansion really made this night a pleasant one.

"Ah... I'm so nervous..."

"It will be alright. Our meeting this time is an informal one. We're only going to meet my family in their residential palace. My family is happy enough to know that I'm going to get married anyway..."

"Even so, still..."

I couldn't help but let out a sigh escaping from my lips as we ate breakfast. After all, today we were going to meet with Fer-san's family.... In other words, we were meeting with the royal family of Aspel. Of course, it wasn't that I didn't want to meet them. I truly wanted to meet them and was really looking forward to it but still...Haah... I still felt nervous.

"We're going to meet during tea time, so more or less at 15:00. It looks like my older brother's children are going to be there too so we can expect a big crowd to be gathering there. I'm sure they're going to ask you a lot of things but if you feel uncomfortable answering, you can just ignore their question...."

If I wasn't wrong, Ed-sama did say he already had 8 nephews and nieces? Errm... Fer-san had 4 parents including Manami-sama and he had 6 siblings... There were 8 nephews and nieces so maybe Fer-san's sister and brother in law were going to come as well...? Uwah...Perhaps, I really was going to meet with a lot of people.

"No, no. Even if you said that, it's still going to be difficult for Ren. We're not in the position where we can say anything we want. That's why Fer, you need to do something about it later okay?"

"That's right, you know? My family is only a duke family too... I'm not in the position where I can say anything against His Highness and Her Highness~"

While silently listening to what Sig-san and Chris-san had to say, I desperately nodded my head in agreement.

"I will have to do my best then... Though I'm not sure I will be able to stop them..."
