When he met the first princess of the Aldegyr Kingdom, Haru thought that both Kanon and this princess were similar to each other, whether it was the appearance or the appearance, both of them had a holy and a sacred presence around them, but this princess was more mature than Kanon, and her silver hair was longer, reaching the waist, giving her a sense of both beauty and intelligence.
"I didn't expect the fourth primogenitor in the legend would be such a young and handsome young man. I originally thought that you would be a middle-aged man."
With a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, La Folia smiled gently, but in truth, she was quite startled at how handsome he was. If she wasn't a princess and had encountered a lot of situations in her life, she might gawk at him, which somehow made her lose the first confrontation between the two.
La Folia smiled and said in a relaxed manner, talking with him in equal, giving everyone an illusion that her relationship with Haru was very close.
Haru sighed inwardly since he knew that La Folia was quite a manipulative girl, but even so, manipulating people was his lunch every day, so he quickly turned the conversation into his favor by praising her back.
La Folia also didn't lose and also kept praising him.
They started to flatter each other without entering the main discussion.
"Is it fun for you two to flatter each other like this?"
When Haru and La Folia were talking in a business manner, someone suddenly interrupted them. Although this voice wasn't loud, it was clearly heard by the two of them.
Naturally, Haru was quite familiar with this voice because the owner of this voice was Sayaka, who he had talked to last night. He didn't feel that surprised when she appeared on the Itogami Island, and probably this girl was coming to follow La Folia.
During their first meeting, Sayaka accompanied Vatler, even though, on the surface, she might be a bodyguard. In fact, she was an observer.
It might be because Haru didn't say hello to her, when the two had a conversation, Sayaka who was on the side, even though she didn't say it out loud, she felt jealous and annoyed since he ignored her!
'Last night you were so intimate with me...' Sayaka pouted. She was happy to meet him, but he ignored her!
"Ah, do miss Kirisaka and Kasugano-sama know each other? Are you jealous that I have been talking with Kasugano-sama, Miss Kirisaka?"
Because of Sayaka's interruption, the favor had been turned into Haru's, but La Folia wasn't a simple girl and quickly turned the favor into her again by covering her mouth with a smile, resolving the crisis, by teasing Sayaka and Haru.
Haru was alright, but Sayaka's face was so red.
"Wh - Who is jealous?! What are you talking about, your Royal Highness!"
"Please don't tease her, princess. She's a very shy girl after all," Haru said. He, after all, had targeted Sayaka and was the only one who could tease her was him. Even if La Folia was a girl, the only one who was allowed to tease Sayaka was him.
"Wh - Who is a shy girl?!" Sayaka, who was being teased again, showed an annoyed expression, but her heart was speaking differently since she wanted to talk with him more.
"Fufufu, it seems that you two have a good relationship," La Folia said with a smile.
"Yes, we have," Haru said.
"Wh - Who has a close relationship with you?!" Sayaka was happy, but she couldn't show it on her face, especially with the princess beside them!
Watching the interaction between Haru and Sayaka, La Folia smiled and confirmed that Sayaka had a feeling toward Haru.
Looking at two people who teased her together, Sayaka's face was so red, and she couldn't handle it anymore! She finally stomped her feet angrily, showing how annoyed she was. Still, in the eyes of the two, this girl was acting like a spoiled girl and acquiesced to her close relationship with Haru.
"Okay, enough by teasing Sayaka, even though it is fun, I don't know why you suddenly so eager to meet me, princess?" Haru came here for a business, not to flirt with Sayaka.
"......" Sayaka looked at Haru, who ignored her again and could only snort and look away. If he didn't treat her later, then she wouldn't forgive him! But she also understood the seriousness of the situation, so she didn't bother him and stayed quiet.
Haru had lost his smile and showed a solemn expression. He knew that he would have a confrontation with La Folia, so there was no need to keep the facade again.
"Your Excellency Kasugano, please calm down. I didn't come with a bad intention."
Watching his solemn expression, although she didn't show it, she knew that he had already known her intention, but this was impossible.
Although she didn't know where this vigilance came from, the most important thing for La Folia at this moment was to get rid of this vigilance. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to her.
"Princess, I'm not a three-year-old child, and if strangers suddenly come to you and say that they don't have a bad intention, will you believe them? So just say what you want. If we're on different occasions, then I might enjoy talking with a beautiful girl like you for an entire night, but we're not on that occasion, right?"
According to her plan, La Folia didn't want to clarify her purpose immediately, and it should be done step by step, and after she got closer to Haru, it wouldn't be too late to ask him a request, but he didn't give her a chance, and it seemed that he had already known her intention why she was here.
Her plan had gone awry, which made her wonder whether she should ask him directly.
"Well, it seems that your Excellency Kasugano might have known my purpose, so I won't hide it and talk with you directly." Staring at Haru for a long time, La Folia felt that she might not look away and as he had said, if they were on a different occasion, they might talk for an entire night together, having fun, but their occasion now didn't support for that condition, and she knew that he didn't give her a chance to escape which made her sigh and that she needed to talk the truth.
Haru didn't say anything, sat calmly, stared at La Folia, and didn't say much.
"In truth, my purpose is to visit the Itogami Island this time is for Kanase Kanon... No, it should be called Kasugano Kanon now." La Folia took a deep breath, and his gaze brought her some pressure. "Your Excellency, since this is about the secret of our Rihavein royal family, and I hope that you understand."
La Folia didn't give the details, but the meaning of her words was clear.
Kanon was a member of the Rihavein royal family, and La Folia's purpose to the Itogami Island was to pick Kanon up because Kanon was a member of the family so La Folia asked Haru to take the initiative to give Kanon back to her real family.
Haru somehow guessed or less what was happening, so he didn't feel that surprised by La Folia's purpose.
"Princess, you're joking. Kanon is my family, and she's now part of the Kasugano family. What does it have to do with your royal family? Or do you want to say that Kanon is an illegitimate daughter of the Emperor, and she was abandoned and only found out now? So you want to take her back now?" Haru smiled gently and warmly, but it gave off a cold feeling to anyone who saw it.
Sayaka had to admit that Haru in this version was very good, and she couldn't look away, but La Folia had a different feeling since her entire body started to ooze a lot of sweat.
La Folia didn't come with a good intention, so even though it might be bullying, Haru didn't mind teaching her that he didn't put the Aldegyr Kingdom into his eyes, and if he wanted, he could send a hydrogen bomb to her country right now since he had a lot of them.
La Folia ignored Haru's joking tone and said, "It seems that your Excellency has known this matter, even though I don't know where you got this information came from, Kasugano Kanon indeed a member of the royal family of the Rihavein, so isn't it obvious that she wants to go back to her family?" She knew that Kanon's identity had been exposed, and Haru had already known it, which caused the situation to become even more troublesome.
Haru's attitude was obvious, and he made it clear that he wouldn't let Kanon go, and La Folia had no way to force him.
Kanon's identity was hidden and couldn't be disclosed to the public. Otherwise, it would become a great scandal for the Aldegyr Kingdom, the whole country would be in turmoil, and her country might be in crisis, so no matter what, she couldn't let it happen!
Haru didn't want to give Kanon up, but there was no way for La Folia to give up. She even changed her tone and convinced him so Kanon could return to her real family.
Unfortunately, all she did was useless.
"Family? If I didn't know that you're a princess, then I'd thought that you're a comedian. To Kanon, do you think that the royal family of the Rihavein is her family? If so, where were you when her mother died? Where were you when she was adopted by Kensei Kanase? When were you when she needed you the most? You're not there, and you pretend that she doesn't exist until she poses a threat since she has been adopted by the Kasugano family. Now you come and tell me that you want her to return to her family? Don't you find it too ridiculous, princess?"
