Chapter 20: My engagement partner is really loved by the knights

Twenty-one elite knights of the Duke family have arrived.

However, everyone is glaring at me! why!?

Ah! I see … I’m handcuffed, so I wonder if I’m considered to be a bandit who aimed at the princess?

Let’s get rid of the misunderstanding as soon as possible.

“He’s wearing a [magic bracelet], but he’s not a bandit. It doesn’t have a chain, right?”

My brother introduced me to everyone, but they still glared at me …

“Brother … the knights are glaring at me, why?”

I deliberately asked my brother a question with a voice that could be heard by the knights.

“I’m always impressed by your thickness … I would be frozen if I was glared at by so many elites. Don’t hurt yourself… “

“I want to know the reason rather than clear the blame … I don’t think I’m going to be killed by people I met for the first time today …”

“You guys! How dare you intimidate my younger brother !? How dare you hold murderous intentions against a prince! stand down! “

“Yeah! Brother is cool ?”

With the dignified words of my brother, everyone’s eyes quickly turned down.

Disrespect for the royal family … My brother could lop their heads right there with dignity. Even if I’m rotten, I’m still royalty.

“Brother… what frozen? On the contrary, the other people are scared … honestly, brother was far more scary than the knights.”

The princess, who was watching the proceedings, spoke to the knights.

“What do you mean by this? He may be your lord in the future … Why are the elite knights of the Duchy doing this? You’re not risking your neck alone by showing such rudeness? Even your lord could be implicated, by explicitly intentionally directing killing intent towards the royal family of a nation. It’s an outrage that I can’t complain about even if my uncle is blamed. “

“Apologies, Your Highness!”

“Why do you apologize to me? The person you should apologize to is different.”

“” Your Highness Luke, we’re very sorry … Please forgive us. “”

All the knights of the Duke’s family bowed and apologized.

“Isn’t it useless to accept an apology when it’s only in form?”

“Cora, Luke! You’re supposed to say,’I’ll accept the apology’ even if you know this! Things have a tide … You have to give them the opportunity to put down their swords. , I’ll have to leave soon, and later you’ll have to face them on your own. “

There’s no doubt that what my brother says is true…

“But brother. Receiving a meaningless apology won’t help. I’d rather know why. Princess, could you help me?”

“I understand … Captain Pile, Luke-sama said that to everyone, but there is something that all the knights think of Luke-sama in consensus, right?”

“No, such a thing …”

“That’s a lie … you should know my unique skill since you’re part of a Duchy? I won’t forgive you .next time, if you lie, I’ll doubt your loyalty to the royal family …”

To lie to the princess of the royal family … If you’re a knight of this country, you can’t help saying the truth. Captain Pile looks like he’s bitten a worm.

“Kuh … all the knights in my territory yearn for Emilia sama…”

I sighed once he answered as I thought … huh? You yearn for her? Do they like her? Did they glare at me because their love rival appeared?

“Is Emilia the name of the person who’ll be my fiancé?”

Wow! I was glared at by them with three times as much murderous intent as before!

“Does your Highness Luke not even know the name of your fiancée !? I’m sorry for Emilia and so annoyed …”

That’s what … but he has a point …

“Because I was told that I would suddenly be a son-in-law just last night, and this morning I was made to wake up without being told or allowed to eat breakfast. I’ve only been told that the other party is the daughter of a Duke’s family. “

The knights look stunned when they see my [Magic Bracelet].

“So, Luke sama didn’t come here as you wanted?”

“Hmm, that’s right. I haven’t been told how this happened … But what is the marriage of an aristocrat? The higher the family, the less choice the person has. Whether it’s for the country, for the house, or for the people … “

That said, I don’t think that at all. It’s not a joke for me as a modern person to accept a forced marriage with a partner decided by my parents!

“Luke? …”

Ah! I got caught by the princess! I forgot that she’s a lie detector —

“Were the knights here glaring at me with jealousy because they fell in love?”

Let’s change the topic and cheat before being thrust into the princess!?

“Well, that’s not the case … I’m sure everyone knows that we’re in the wrong position, even if we’re longing for her. It’s a very important marriage. None of us would complain if it was His Highness Jail … There are many rumors about His Highness Luke in this country … Half of the time when people say it everyone laughs and think it’s ridiculous. I did too, but when I actually saw you, it was an”Orc Prince” who was even fatter than the rumors, so … we felt Emilia was pitiful … “

“Captain Pile! Choose your words!”

“But  if I tell a lie to Her Highness … this time she’ll doubt my loyalty …”

This is a big miscalculation …

Why does everyone know me in the neighboring country !?

“Why does everyone know me?”

The princess answered this.

“Luke … bards come from the Kingdom of Wolg on a regular basis and sing about you in a funny way … I’ve heard it several times … I took it half-seriously, but it was just a funny story like a joke. “

“Luke is royalty! Didn’t you punish the bard in this country !?”

My brother tries to take care of me, but I understand, so stop it …

I never thought that the “Pig Prince” legend was roaring even in this country.

“They don’t say” Luke-sama “. Of course, they just say it’s” the son of a royal family. ” “

“That’s about me even if you don’t give a name! Brother! It seems that I’m known in this country too! Can I return to the Kingdom of Wolg as it is?”

“That’s impossible … I’m angry with father but what you did is your own fault. Give up …”

To be honest, I don’t like this anymore …

I was hungry to make a comeback in this country that didn’t know me, but I was completely mistaken.

The only salvation is that my fiancée is such a good person that the knights love her. If the other party was a sly girl, I would have lost my place in this country and it would have been the worst living environment.
