Chapter 0057

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

Everyone in the room let out a surprised shriek, but the loudest one was clearly the princess's own voice.

—-Ahem!

"I mean, I don't wanna marry the princess if it's a burden for you guys. I can understand your circumstances and why you added that marriage term as a reward, and I am willingly allowing you to back down on it. This way, you won't lose face and I'll be on my way."

I replied quietly to everyone's abrupt exclamation. What is wrong with these people?

"Hey, hey hey. Wait a minute."

Everyone practically jumped in surprise, and Lynch was the first one to gain his sanity as he came and tried to drag me to a side to tell me something.

But

"Why are you so sturdy, fuck. Just come with me for a second. Sorry, your grace, give us some time, we'll be right back."

Saying so Lynch started walking outside of the giant hall. I followed after him and caught up to him, leaving behind an awkward group of people trying to greet the duke's family.
