When the king spoke, the inside of the royal hall suddenly became silent. Riyo already knew what was going on because Waze, the unknown voice in his head, had already told him about it. Then, Riyo was sitting down on the sofa, and beside him was Jake, his father. He was taken aback by the princess, whose name is Royal Princess Alice Luzaret, who was staring at Riyo's face with a gentle face.
Guessing her age, she was in the same age group as Riyo. The royal princess Alice had yellow, beautiful hair and large emerald eyes, but if you looked closely, he was truly cute and beautiful. She is also wearing a light red dress. She was wearing a crown of jewels on her head.
His Majesty the King, Royal Princess Alice and were sitting around a table drinking tea while enjoying themselves.
And then the royal princess stood up and approached Riyo.
[My name is Alice von Kevakez, and I am a royal princess of the Zuela Kingdom. Thank you for saving me.]
While saying Alice von Kevakez with her two hands, he slightly lifted her red dress and she bowed her head politely. She's a nice, polite, and mature young girl.
"No, don't worry about it. It is best that you are now well and have become a lively and beautiful royal princess."
Seeing her repeated thanks was a bit embarrassing, and also, it had been a long time since someone had given their gratitude to me, so I just smiled to deceive her. However, princess, it also looks embarrassing and keeps looking at me for no reason. Because in her eyes and on her face, it's like she wants to say something to me.
And then Riyo responded to her,
"Uhm..Royal Princess? Do you want to say something to me?"
It became impossible to ignore the passionate stare, and I asked while looking away. Before long, the royal princess's cheeks blushed slightly, and then the king suddenly joined our conversation.
[Ahem... Sit down... Royal princess...]
[U-Understood...]
"First, I will discuss your property. Riyo, you're still a child with no real responsibilities, but I've given you property. And also, seeing that you haven't even attended an academy school yet, I'll also pay for your academy school as well. If you have anything you want to ask about the nobility, just ask your father." (King)
"Thank you. I will gladly accept your generous offer.Your Majesty." (Riyo)
"Well... There is something more important I want to say to you. Riyo." (King)
The King made a serious face and his eyes meet each other with his Minister as if they were asking each other.
And then Before the king spoke, the royal princess, who suddenly stood up from her seat facing the King.
[Father! I have decided.]
"W-What exactly did you decide?"
This is bad. This is definitely bad. I know what she wants to say. He murmured to himself. He thought with a sidelong glance, and he started to drink his tea again with a worried expression on his face.
The royal princsss Her face turned bright red, she opened her mouth and said,
[This Baron Riyo Hanes... ... is the person I wish to marry and become future wife!]
"!!!!"
At the Royal Princesses' explosive statement, the cold tea danced in the air. Riyo was stunned. Of course, everyone on the inside of the royal hall was also surprised.
I looked at Royal Princess Alice, but the royal princess had a bright red face.
What did that royal princess say just now? Marriage? future wife? Did I hear something wrong? he murmured to himself.
And the king sitting on a sofa and then,
[W-What did you say? Could you say that one more time, royal princess?]
[Like I said, I wish to marry Baron Riyo Hanes, father.]
[Fufufu...So the royal princess had finally decided whom she was going to marry.] (Queen)
At the king's words, Royal Princess Alice repeated the same thing. And then the Queen arrived at the same time, and she sat down beside the king, opened her eyes wide and looked at her daughter, the royal princess.
[Mother!]
Huh? The queen had arrived, and it was like she had agreed as well on the marriage proposal. Riyo murmured to himself. The queen she was wearing a long white dress and her hair is the same as royal princess Alice's. He glanced at Riyo and smiled at him.
While the king was sitting on the sofa, he made a serious face and his eyes met with Riyo and Riyo. He avoided it and drank the tea.
[Riyo, I hope you'll get along with my daughter, the royal princess. Of course, I can't decline this proposal because if I decline, it will be a huge problem and laughable for the royal family, so the formal marriage will only be after adulthood, so for now, you and my daughter will start to become fiancees.]
And then queen spoke as well,
[Oh, Baron Jake. Please take good care of my daughter.]
"Wait! I have not yet decided whether I'm going to become the fiancee of your daughter, the royal princess, or not. That's strange!"
I suddenly spoke without respect... because of an unexpected marriage proposal.
"Also, your Majesty, she is the princess of a strong country. Is it really alright for her to marry some guy whose rank is baron, the lowest rank? We're just meeting each other, and some guy like me knows hardly anything about!?"
[fufufu... Calm down... even if you are a baron, we don't care because I am also from the Viscount family, the second and lowest rank, and I became His Majesty the King of Zuela Kingdom's fiancee when I was 14 years old.] (queen)
Riyo stunned and he just drink the tea with a calm expression.
[Well... Please take care of our daughter.]
"Wait! I want to ask again, just how old is Royal Princess Alice anyway? What royal people can get married?"
[My daughter was 7 years old and, based on the royal family rules, the royal family regularly has a fiancee at the age of 5 to 7, and they can also be married at the age of 17.]
[cough... cough... Isn't marriage too early for and what's with that rules?]
[Why? you don't like my daughter?] (King)
Your Majesty said to Riyo, Combined with the silent pressure from him and facing an attack, Riyo had no way of fighting and also had no choice. Riyo did not know that the royal family was so tough and it was hard to connect with them.
And then the Royal Princess looked at me with such sad eyes and her tears slowly started to come out.
[Baron Riyo Hanes, do you not like me to become your fiancee's?]
"Wait! Wait!... I don't hate you... but it's suddenly happened and I can't understand the situations."
[Then there is no problem at all, right!] Alice's sad eyes suddenly broke into a sudden smile.
Huh? Her sad face had returned to lively. Well, I already lost and cornered, so I have no choice. But I accepted the condition of the king and queen as they had proposed.
"OK, I accept. But please ask the Royal Princess again about her feelings."
Riyo was exhausted just by returning the words.
[As you can hear, his response was, "What do you think?" My daughter, Royal Princess Alice.] (King)
The royal princess was glad and smiling with a red face, and her eyes were filled with tears.
At the age of five, Riyo now had a royal princess fiancee.
