Your Highness, The Voice of Your Heart is Leaking!

Prologue: The Voice of Your Heart is Leaking Out!

Tistye Lacie was confused.

“What are you doing?”—

[“—I’ve just awoken… why is there such a perfect beauty here? She’s too beautiful…”]

She didn’t mishear it.

The voice came from her husband who would usually glance at her in contempt—Gaizel Verscia.

However, Tistye wasn’t only able to hear the words he spoke, but also the words he thought.

“F-forgive me, Your Majesty…”

“…I told you to call me by my name when we’re at home.”

“T-that’s right... um... Lord Gaizel…”

“…”—

[“—I would be fine with her not adding the honorific ‘Lord’… but, maybe that would be rushing it. It might also bring some trouble… what a cute voice! Just like the tweeting of a lovely, little, bird!”]

“Um, if you don’t wake up soon, you’ll keep everyone waiting!”

When Tistye hurriedly spout out those lines, Gaizel’s eyebrows rose.

D-did I misspeak?

She received Gaizel’s cold gaze.

“I’ll be returning late again today, you can rest first.”—

[“—damn! I’m so busy these days! It is going to be impossible to have dinner with Tistye! As I thought, I must tie that Randi-guy up!”]

“I, I shall wait for your return, Lord Gaizel!”

“…Have it your way, then—”

[“—she is… kind, too kind… is she an angel, perhaps?”]

Gaizel finally went to work.

Seeing him off, Tistye exhaled a long, deep, sigh.

Her face was bright red—and it likely wasn’t due to a fever.

Only the voice of His Majesty’s heart resounds this clear… I wonder why…

Tistye Lacie—

—she had a mysterious power, which allowed to hear the voice of people’s hearts.

The two of them had an arranged marriage. As usual, it was for political reasons.

Tistye was the youngest princess of Lacie, a tropical kingdom. Her hair was snow-white and her eyes were as blue as the summer skies.

Her skin was clear white. She was very beautiful—however, the majority of Lacie Kingdom’s people had fiery red hair and red pupils, as such, Tistye’s appearance became inconspicuous.

One day, when she was a kid, Tistye casually answered the words that her mother muttered.

Her mother thought it was a coincidence—but, as she repeatedly witnessed Tistye’s mysterious power, her mother eventually started to hate her. Calling her, ‘a cursed daughter’ and such.

Then, the talk of marriage arrived for Tistye, who lived a semi-imprisoned life so as to be hidden from the public eye.

The marriage partner was none other than the emperor of the powerful Northern Kingdom Verscia—Gaizel Verscia.

After the collapse of his predecessor, he became a fierce man who survived the battle of succession involving the entire kingdom with only his armed forces.
