Nice To Meet You Mr. Wolf 5

 

I should have married for friendship, but due to an unfortunate accident, the representatives of the two countries were wrapped in a very awkward atmosphere. Aria, who was quietly holding her breath and next to her, was the glaring Bruno who shrugged his body. Aria has a white bandage on her right wrist. Siegfried's claw had a small scratch. He said it was okay because it was no big deal, but he was given a large amount of treatment because it was Bruno's instructions.

 

 

Siegfried and his good-looking guys faced each other across a large table sometimes looked at Aria's bandage and looked as if they saw a painful thing. Aria had to hold a teacup with her left hand so that she could not see the bandages, especially since Siegfried is sadly bowed down.

 

 

"Excuse me. I didn't mean to hurt you."

 

 

Bruno once again apologized to Siegfried, who speaks a line that he doesn't know how many times he will hear again.

 

 

"No, I'm sorry. I was relieved that your Highness was not injured."

 

"We're okay, so it doesn't matter."

 

 

Siegfried turns his eyes on a man with a good shape who sits next to his seat. The man, who nodded slightly to show his consent, is too big and looks like Koyama [1]. The man seemed to notice Aria's gaze distorts his face clumsily. It was Aria who shook her body for a moment, but she realized that the man seemed to smile and laughed back. The man's face was more and more distorted, probably because of his deep smile. The face is scary, but he seems to be a good person because it is easy to understand.

 

 

"And I'm very sorry, but I want to check the progress of Aria-sama's injury, so can you postpone my departure for a few days?"

 

 

To Bruno's words, I look up to his face. All eyes were on Aria all at once. Feeling relaxed, Aria gave up her shoulder while holding the bandage with her left hand.

 

 

"Mr. Bruno, I'm fine. Leave the departure as it is."

 

"I can't say I won't get suppurated."

 

"Eh? It's a big game."

 

"Okay. I'll delay my departure. Yours---if Aria's injury seems to be okay, let's start in three days."

 

"Thank you."

 

 

Siegfried looks very sorry because Bruno said something extra. I turned to Bruno to protest, but I was ignored with a cold look.

 

 

"If it's okay ... I'm talking about it, so why don't you join us in the evening?"

 

"Dinner?"

 

“Just tomorrow night, there will be a night party to celebrate the arrival of spring by opening the dance hall in the castle. Even though the weather is mild throughout the year, it is still nice when spring begins. It will be held at he castle, but since it was crowded this year, it was a little late.”

 

"Is it okay for us to participate?"

 

"Of course."

 

"Then, I wonder if I can put up with your words ... Aria."

 

"Yes!"

 

"Is it okay to let the prince escort you? Of course, if the condition of the wound is fine,"

 

"Uh."

 

"Of course! Please do so!"

 

 

Bruno nodded with a force that seemed to lean forward before Aria answered. Due to one incident the other day, there have been rumors in the castle that impeded her relationship with Siegfried. Perhaps this is an opportunity to dispel rumors.

 

Receiving the gaze of Aria, Bruno sat back on the chair as if he was resting. After deliberately clearing his throat, he finally began to speak in a soothing voice.

 

 

"The evening party will be held at the dance hall in the castle from 6:00 P.M., as I explained earlier. Please let me know if you have any clothes or other items that you need."

 

"Thank you."

 

 

The conversation ended there. No, to be exact, only Aria has been kicked out. She was taken out of the room by Bruno for the reason that she should not hurt her wounds. Aria pursed her lips when she sees Bruno who closed the door after politely bowing.

 

 

"I wanted to talk a little more."

 

"It's no good. Even if it's small, an injury is an injury ... because it can cause fever."

 

 

Urged by Bruno to start walking down the hallway. Bruno's leather shoes are slowly sinking into the carpet. I can't really complain because I can see that they are keeping pace.

 

 

 

"Is there any idea for Mr. Bruno?"

 

"What are you doing suddenly?"

 

"Because you'll usually deal with it a little more calmly. It's strange to make such a misunderstanding."

 

 

Certainly, Aria at that time would have seemed to be attacked. However, Siegfried is an important state guest. It was a behavior that was not Bruno's, such as unilaterally blaming him without listening to him, or jumping at him himself. When you point out that, Bruno stops and stares at Aria.

 

 

"You were ... No, it was surprisingly smart, Ms. Aria."

 

"I think it's superfluous to say that."

 

"I’m sorry."

 

 

In the back of his glasses, nervous eyes seemed to laugh a little. She was careful about how she behaved in the castle. Because Aria is the "backless shield-less princess of nothing". Doesn't have "something better" than her sisters. The unrestrained and unthinking behavior reassures her sister and her mother. That way she won't get more attacks.

 

Bruno knows exactly how Aria has protected herself after her mother is gone. Bruno immediately withdraws a grin and quickly glances around. Then, he dropped the tone of his voice and started speaking quietly.

 

 

“Aria. Marriage between countries is a pledge and a restriction. The future will be greatly influenced by how favorable conditions can be obtained.”

 

"I understand that."

 

"Slightly---No, I guided it quite aggressively, but thanks to Aria, I brought it to the situation that "His Highness Prince would make a noise as soon as he arrived." It also hurts your fiancee. With the added bonus of letting you cry.''

 

"This isn't in the wound."

 

“No, and if you make the noise so loud, it will reach the ears of His Majesty there soon … Aria-sama, until you settle down in that country. Don't take it!"

 

"Why? I'll heal such a small wound right away."

 

"Because it is a liability for the other side."

 

"Is it okay?"

 

 

Bruno looks at Aria's body from top to bottom. It's an eye to see. However, I don't feel the odious thing that doesn't cost me.

 

 

"Your body is small and powerless. It is usually a drawback, but it can also be a weapon depending on the way you use it .... Inspire asylum. Buy compassion. Buy sympathy. Come in. This is for this country, and for you ... "

 

"Do I fool Siegfried?"

 

"No, we just have a little bargain."

 

"Please don't bully him too much, because he’s my husband."

 

"I told you. You just have to bargain ... You can think of him as a disgusting man. It's true."

 

"... It's okay. I know that Bruno is a kind person, too."

 

"Who is your strength similar to who?"

 

"It's a gift of Mr. Bruno's education, surely."

 

 

Bruno smiles at Aria's words. Of course I have never been taught directly by Bruno. There wasn't much time for him because he was busy working as Prime Minister, and there weren't many opportunities to meet him. However, it was his strictness that always told me that the royal family must be strong.

 

Mother was a weak person. Therefore, it was a painful and sad end. I don't hate my mother. But I don't want to die like that. If you live anyway, it's better to have fun---I want to be happy.

 

 

"I know that Bruno-san did his best to help me with my husband-to-be. He wasn't soft and fluffy, but I'm sure he will make me happy."

 

 

I gripped the hem of my dress and gently lowered my head. I gave my utmost gratitude in a beautiful work that seems to be a royal family that I usually do not take care of. It's only two secrets that Bruno was crying when Aria looked up. Due to Bruno, who had to hide his personality and compassionate side, Aria left silently without saying anything.

 

Tl: I am surprised, It seems like our FL is no ordinary person either ^^ although she is still an airhead LOL.
