Chapter 21: Donna Donna’s Poem (Song)

I felt uncomfortable with how Luke did various things in my own country, and I was eager to restart in the neighboring country that didn’t know me, but I was completely wrong.

To my annoyance, it seems that some bards were singing about me in a funny way in this country, and rumors of “Orc Prince” are spreading in this country as well. Worse yet, I would have run away as it is, but because Luke was so ignorant, I don’t have much knowledge from my integrated memory …

Now that my level is low, It’s too dangerous to go on a journey without knowing about this world.

Besides, if I run away now, my brother will be inconvenienced … As my father intended, he seems to be my shackles.

This time I was able to defeat the bandits because of the Drake’s mobility and cooperation with my brother, but if I met one on the highway, I would have been killed easily. Only after collecting more information about this world and gaining knowledge and ability can I leave. If not, it’s highly likely that I’ll die before heading to subjugate the evil god.

I’m going to go to a knight academy for a while to collect information and improve my basic physical strength. With this body, I could lose even to some orcs, let alone the evil god … The orcs are similar in shape to me now, but they’re solid and have fat on their muscles like sumo wrestlers. But all I’m wearing is fat … I have so much fat on my body that I can’t do sit-ups. I can’t leave without getting thin.

Let’s head to the Duke’s house for the time being … and diet!

“Luke, would you like to go with me in my carriage?”

In the princess carriage??

“Hmm, but …”

There are the princess and a guard knights on board … I’m nervous cause there are only such beautiful girls …

As I was worried, my brother joined the talk.

“Luke, that’s a good idea. You can hear stories about this country and your fiancée while traveling by carriage from the princesses.”

“I agree……”

“But don’t run away?”

“As i said, I won’t run away!”

Only two people, the princess and the guard knight, whose wound I treated, got into the carriage. The other guard knights seem to ride and escort the carriage on both sides.

It’s been an hour since I got into the princess’ carriage and headed for the Duke’s house.

I blundered… The princess’ question attack is horrible.

She has bad eyesight and has the ability to discover lies, so she doesn’t seem to participate much in social occasions like tea parties, and is happy to bite into every little topic.

It’s easy to imagine that the princess wouldn’t be called because the main conversations would be to talk about appearance and make exaggerations, such as a tea party of noble ladies.

While talking, I found out that the woman I treated was not a guard knight but the princess’s maid.

“Then, she’s a normal maid, not a knight?”

“Because I am a fighting maid, I cannot say that I’m a normal maid. I’m similar the two female guard knights escorting us outside, but our affiliation is different.”

Her name is Erica D. Francis, 16 years old, the second daughter of Count Francis.

Normally, she should attend a knight academy this spring, but she chose to serve as a fighting maid because she’s been a playmate of the princess since she was a child.

I think that only a limited number of maids could handle it since the princess can’t lie and can detect lies.

Many times I was thanked by this girl for being her lifesaver.

I heard that my fiancée has androphobia …

That’s why she doesn’t seem to appear in social places where men are.

I wondered if it would be okay to go to school with such a constitution, but it seems that the maid with her completely shuts out the boys.

“I gave up going to school because I have bad eyes, but she courageously wanted to go to school and passed the magic department exam at the top of her class. For the first few days, the Duke’s family said that it was difficult because there were many people who came wanting to take her in. “

She seems to be on good terms with her because she’s her cousin, and she seems to talk a lot.

Between bad eyesight and androphobia, bad eyesight is more restrictive.

Blackboards, textbooks, exam questions … There are many things that can’t be helped if you can’t read … With androphobia, you can lead a school life without being hindered from study unless you get close to a man.

“But it’s a marriage story to such a partner … Isn’t this impossible?”

“About that… I heard that her father was very enthusiastic about this engagement. I wonder what he’s thinking?”

Is the engagement itself a dud and there’s another intention?

Could they know that I can make recovery potions, and called me here to confine me and make potions endlessly? …… No, no. Only a few people involved in the temple and the old gardener who’s the only one in the castle close to Luke knows about the healing potions.

And the gardener who hid his status is Luke’s teacher as a potion master … There is absolutely no chance of betrayal.

Even so, this carriage … shakes quite a bit. It’s a royal carriage, so it should be good, but the shaking is still terrible.

When the princess’ question attack calmed down a bit, I looked out the window, a song came to my head.

“A sunny daytime, the road leading to the Duke’s house ~ ♪

A box-drawn carriage goes gotogotoruk ♪

Poor Luke will be sold ~ ♪

I look at it with sad eyes~ ♪

Donna Donna Donna Donna ~ Put on the rock ~ ♪

Donna Donna Donna-The wagon sways … ♪ “

“Ufufu … Luke, what’s with that song? It’s so sad? Do you hate this marriage so much?”

The princess and her maid, Erica, gave me a cute giggle.

“I honestly can’t lie to the princess, but … the marriage that my parents decided is enforced. If possible, I would like to find my own wife and swear a life together … don’t you think so? “

She’s 17 years old … if she doesn’t attend knight academy, she’s old enough to get married right away.

“Well yes … but I can’t have that luxury cause I’m naturally blind … and I don’t think my dad will let me go so easily because I’m blessed by the special ability of a First Inquisitor.”

“Oh, that’s right. On the contrary, if there is a person who wants a bride, it’s better not to have that ability.”

“They have to worry because I can know the truth just by listening to what is said … In that sense, no one would want me …”

“Is that so? It’s okay if they don’t lie right … If you’re as cute as the princess, I think it’s more than enough to compensate.”

“Luke, is that true !?”

Oh, that’s right! I can’t lie!

“Yes, the princess is beautiful.”

I can’t lie, so I honestly said it!

“It’s not a lie! I’m thrilled!”

Oh … her face turned bright red …

What is this, this girl is super cute!

I wasn’t as nervous as I expected, and was able to enjoy going to the Duke’s house with a cute princess, a maid, and myself.
