Chapter 72: Taking a Promise from the Cousin

Two weeks after I went to the capital city, I returned to my family’s territory.

I was hurriedly invited by Angela to help her make-up and toured the capital city with Ricardo.

Although I was a little hurried, I was able to spend fulfilling days.

(After that, I went shopping with Nora at the capital.)

I would not go to the capital city frequently in the future, but I thought that I enjoyed it enough this time.

[Welcome home, Britney. Did you enjoy the capital city?]

As soon as I arrived at my residence, my smiling cousin welcomed me.

[Yes, Ryuze-oniisama. I experienced interesting things.]

[Did you get a good harvest?]

[Of course, it’s this!]

I brought out the musk perfume bottle that I bought and opened it in front of him.

[……!]

Unable to endure the animal smell, Ryuze put his palms over his mouth and retreated.

Even in such a situation, his movements were elegant and without waste.

[Aa, the smell is too strong isn’t it. Later, I’ll bring the diluted products…]

[Britney, what are you going to do with this?]

The puzzled Ryuze asked me, so I closed the lid of the perfume bottle and answered his question.

[I think I’ll make a new kind of perfume. This perfume is currently popular in the capital city, but it smells too strong. It has a beastly scent now, but if I dilute it and mix it with other fragrances, a new kind of fragrance can be made.]

[If you say so… even so, to think that such a strange thing is in fashion at the capital city.]

[It seems that it’s a fragrance that attracts the opposite sex. Ricardo ran away though.]

[I also agree with him. By the way, Britney…]

To that point, Ryuze placed his hand on my shoulder and smiled.

It’s a mean smile, unlike before.

[Did you find anyone who you would like to be a fiancé candidate?]

In this situation, I don’t think I could say “anyway, isn’t it impossible?” to him.

It’s vexing, but I decided to report my conversation with Ricardo.

[Of course, onii-sama! I will be engaged to Ricardo again!]

[…What do you mean?]

[Ricardo told me at the capital that he wished to be engaged to me again. I think he will explain it officially later.]

Although I reported it with a smug face, Ryuze had a difficult expression.

(Eh…why? Ryuze is supposed to want me getting out of our earldom quickly.)

What’s with that questionable reaction? I was not convinced for a bit.

[Eeto, it’s as I promised. You will not send me to the princess right?]

[…U-n.]

[It, is, settled, right?]

[…A promise is a promise.]

Alright, it’s a promise.

I was able to avoid my execution, so I headed to my room with peaceful feeling.

There’s no way I would know, that was the beginning of unexpected occurrences, and everything would be turned over.

TN: I’m tempted to not update anymore today and leave you guys hanging.
