Claire licked her lips in embarrassment. It should look good….”Hey, your ass is fine. Claire?””Yes….”Claire nodded to Cybill who asked in a friendly voice.Still, his gaze was directed towards Oscar.Cybill noticed this and grinned.”Claire. This is Elliot and my friend, Oscar, whom I talked about back then. Tell the Crown Prince.””Hello, are you Elliot’s brother?””….”Even with Oscar’s greeting, Claire hesitated.Cybill thinks it’s because Claire is shy, so she loves it and says, “Damn.” He made a strange noise.But now Claire was very nervous.’What, what should I say?’「Ask him to marry you, baby! Speak confidently!」’Suddenly…?’「Originally, that’s what marriage proposals are like! Don’t hesitate! Claire, go!」At Ruby’s support, Claire tightly closed his eyes.Then he reached out and grabbed Oscar’s arm.”I, I….””Yes? What?”Oscar furrowed his eyebrows and lowered his upper body slightly.The hesitation was brief. Claire was encouraged by his actions and shouted out loud.”Please… Marry me!””….””….””….””….”「Good, baby! It was the perfect marriage proposal!」Oscar and Cybill, involved in Claire’s shocking remarks, watched the escort knight Sir Rendell.And to Elliot who was approaching from behind.Everyone was dumbfounded and just blinked.”….”Claire realized that something was wrong.Although Claire maintained her adult-like thinking, there were times when she was inevitably unable to grasp the situation like a child.It was just this moment.’Something is wrong…?’「Is it wrong? Did you perfectly propose?」 Claire was slightly relieved at Ruby’s words. Then he raised his head and looked at Oscar.”….”The great-looking boy was looking at her with her eyebrows contorted.’It must be a rejection.’Yeah, she didn’t think she would be successful in the first place.’Sheesh….’Well, it didn’t matter anyway.After all, the age at which the original characters go to the academy is 12.So, about two years from now.Until then, Claire had been very tenacious in persuading Oscar that she had planned to accept her promise to marry him in her verbal contract. Claire raised the corners of her lips awkwardly as she looked at Oscar, who was staring at her.Oscar asked, who blinked several times and frowned.”… Will you marry me?”Claire nodded so hard that her head dropped. very passionately.”Oh.”It was Cybill, watching from the side, who broke the silence.She smiled brightly and hugged Claire tightly.”Claire must have fallen in love with you at first sight! But Claire, what about her sister? huh? You don’t want to marry her sister? Are you a little jealous? Until yesterday, it seemed that only her sister would like it.”Claire hugged Cybill face to face, rubbing her face against her cheek.Yes, she wanted to live with Cybill if possible.’But her sister has to go with my brother.’Elliot’s love for Cybill was incredibly deep. To the extent that no one knew, he died alone.”She likes her older sister, but….”Claire grabbed Oscar’s sleeve and waved her as if sorry for her Cybill, blurring her lips. She then added shyly towards him.”I want to marry you.”Oscar looked as if the situation was just funny.’Isn’t that a bad reaction?’「Is that bad? That guy has already passed! Success, this!」Ruby’s words somehow boosted her confidence.But it was then.Thump-thump.The sound of footsteps hitting the marble floor felt like a knife.The pace, which was getting faster and faster, approached Claire instantly.Swish!Elliot pulled Claire from Cybill’s arms with a quick hand gesture.Then she hid it behind herself.”I’m sorry. I think my brother made a mistake.”Elliot had a cold voice that was different from usual. And his eyes were especially cold.Claire blankly scratched the back of her head.’It must be because of my mood.’Elliot is a gentle, warm, sunny smile, elegance, and gentleness.He was a very standard sub-man, putting all those soft words together.Elliot flicked and chinked at Sir Rendell, who was standing next to him.”Yes, Master!”Did he know what he was giving with just a gesture of his chin?Rendel grabbed Claire and started to go somewhere.”Take it down!”Claire clung to Rendell’s arms and struggled with her feet, but Lord Rendell’s gait grew faster.Seeing that, Oscar said with a smirk.”Elliot, does your brother want to marry me?””Sounds useless. My little brother is now 6 years old. Aren’t you taking what a child says seriously?” For some reason, Elliot’s voice trembled a little.Claire couldn’t properly hear the fading conversation between the two, only waving her short limbs.”….””….”Oscar and Elliot.There was a strange war of nerves in the eyes of the two. It was an atmosphere I had never felt before.Cybill looked at the two of them and was bewildered.’Hey, what…?’First of all, it’s not surprising to see Oscar playing like this sometimes, but it’s often seen….’Elliot, do you know how to get angry?’Cybill thought so and blinked her eyes. Elliot’s new look was just amazing.’Did he say he was this sensitive and knew how to react like a knife?’Surprised by that fact, Oscar seemed to be the same.”….”At that time. Cybill and Oscar secretly exchanged glances.A tacit signal came and went between the two. It was a very playful sign.Cybill spoke first.”Wow, if you want to get married at that age, you are really serious…! When I was 6, I also insisted on marrying a knight in my family. Were you really serious?”Cybill said naturally. Oscar immediately responded by striking her back.”Okay? Well… Then I’ll have to seriously think about it…?””….”Elliot glanced at the two of them, clenching his trembling fists.”Yes, yes. Oscar! I’m still young, but I’m still a lady. Can I hurt Lady’s heart? We, His Majesty this great Crown Prince? Go ahead and get married!””Yeah, that would be nice.”Oscar grinned and tried to walk in the direction Claire had disappeared, but Elliot blocked her.”Stop….”Elliot took a deep breath and raised the white flag.As he bowed his head and wiped his face with his hands, Cybill laughed out loud.Oscar also raised an eyebrow to see if this was funny and laughed.Cybill laughed and wiped her tears away.”Wow, Elliot. You have a little sister, so you’re very secure? Yes?””That’s it. You used to have a pretty cold expression on your face.””… Stop playing.”Elliot frowned, but Cybill and Oscar were even more delighted.”Anyway, this is a bit sad…. Our Claire must have said that her older sister was the best until yesterday….”Cybill, who had been laughing for a long time, muttered in a voice of disappointment. Oscar looked at him and smiled.He was stunned, too.I will get a proposal from a 6-year-old kid I’ve never seen before.It was an unexpected first meeting with her.* * *Meanwhile, Claire returned to the outdoor garden, dangling in the arms of Lord Rendell. “…?”As she entered her garden, the eyes of Lord Rendell and the Duke of Eston met.’What are you doing now? Aren’t you going to put it down?’The Duke of Aston looked at Lord Rendell and said with his eyes.Lord Rendell saw the peacock’s cold expression in the distance and quickly put down Claire.Claire pouted her lips and stomped onto the table where the peacocks were sitting.”Claire, aren’t you coming with your brother?”The Duchess, Ines, asked puzzled.In the midst of this, Duke Aston reached out to Claire with a trembling expression.As Claire naturally hugged her, Duke Aston’s expression brightened.”Honey, I don’t think Claire is afraid of me at all anymore.””I’m really happy.”Ines looked at the two of them and stroked Claire’s head. Seems to be very unique.Meanwhile, the Duke of Eston snapped his finger at Sir Rendell, who stood in the distance.Sir Rendell approached, restlessly, reporting.”I, sir. Elliot’s friends are here. Lady Cybill and His Majesty the Crown Prince…. But, by the way….”The duke and his wife were puzzled when they saw Sir Rendell, who was especially muffled.Lord Rendell was one of the knights who boasted the best skills within the Knights of the Dukes.He was also the only person in the famous Knights Templar who could be said to have a calm personality, as he had a lot of eccentric humans.There’s a little bit of fun, though.After all, Sir Rendell is so uneasy?The peacocks noticed something strange.”That… I, actually….”It was when Sir Rendell was about to report on his recent work.Cybill, Elliot, and Oscar were getting closer.”Long time no see.””I’m here too!”The Duke and Duchess smiled brightly at the close friends of his eldest son.”Your Majesty has been coming for a long time. Have you been busy all this time?”To Duke Aston’s words, Oscar answered with a smile.”Yes. Still, I took the time to tell my friend that something happy happened.””I’m glad you’re here. Welcome. Claire, say hello. Let’s tell the Crown Prince.”The duke lowered the Claire he was holding.「Baby, wouldn’t it be more certain if I proposed in front of adults?」’Is it?’「If you put your stamp in front of adults, that guy won’t be able to say anything else later. Isn’t it?」It made sense.’I think you are right.’Claire did not miss an opportunity.He should have done it when he could appeal to the fullest.In the distant future, when Oscar thought, ‘I hate arranged marriage, is there anyone who can get married by contract?’Instead of Cybill, he lets himself come to mind.It would be the most certain if they even got engaged in the first place… If that’s difficult, you should at least accept an oral contract.The moment she set her feet on the floor, Claire ran to Oscar, who was right away in front of her.Then she hugged him by the waist and cried.”I want to marry you!””….””….”Silence flowed around again.For a moment, Cybill’s expression distorted in shock.”…!”It was because it was the first time he had seen the expression of the Duke of Aston, who is called the Iron-Blood Duke, collapsed into despair like that.Even the Duke of Aston said, “Ugh!” It made a strange noise and was painful.
