Dating Proposal From the Princess

Princess Selena Elis asked me to date her.

To understand why, let's go back to lunchtime earlier.

I saw Selena talking with a handsome teacher with pale skin and a black quiff.

The teacher's name was Alvis Incester.

With my super hearing, I overheard their conversation from a distance.

The essence of their conversation was this:

Alvis wanted Selena to accept his marriage proposal, but Selena refused.

When Selena was asked why, she pointed at me, who happened to be passing by, and said that I was her boyfriend.

I don't know why Selena did that.

She could have just refused without dragging someone else into the problem.

Back to the present.

Selena and I were behind the school, just the two of us here.

"I refuse."

"Of course, you accept it.

After all, you are just the son of a baron.

It is an honor for you to date a princess like-

Hmm? What did you just say?"

How high is your pride to think you heard wrong?

"I said I refuse."

"A lowly baron's son dares to refuse my request!"

Selena's face turned red with a mix of embarrassment and anger.

Her attitude is really bad.

"Goodbye."

"Tch! No other choice."

She took a gold coin from her purse before scattering the coins on the ground.

Her mouth curved with pride, and her eyes looked at me like I was an animal.

She must have thought I would pick up the coins.

But I just glanced at them briefly before walking away.

"Take them!!"

She shouted angrily at me.

I am the owner of Heaven, a world with unlimited natural resources.

My wealth can never be matched by anyone.

Even one percent of my wealth is more than the wealth of this country.

"Not everything goes according to your will, your highness."

"You're just a lowly baron's son!!

How dare you humiliate me like this!!!"

"Goodbye."

"Wait! Why are you rejecting me?

You can gain political and social power if you become my boyfriend. I can even give you wealth."

Because I don't want to lose my normie status.

"I know your plan. You want to use my name to reject the marriage proposal, right?

That is very dangerous for me.

Your suitors have higher statuses than mine.

I am just a baron's son; they can easily remove me from this world without any problems. That way, you won't have any excuse to reject them anymore."

"True, but this is an equal exchange."

"No, it's not equal.

I'm risking my life, but not you."

Selena drew her sword and pointed it at me.

"Fine, then I'll force you with violence."

A normie like you won't be able to defeat a normie like me.

But I didn't bring any weapons.

I wanted to scream for help, but most people had already gone home; it was late afternoon.

Running away was the only option.

"Goodbye."

I jumped to the second-floor balcony.

"Wait!"

Selena followed me.

This balcony was connected to a classroom; I went inside.

Inside, there was a pair of students – a boy and a girl – without wearing a single piece of clothing.

"Who are you!?"

"Kyahh!!"

"Sorry, just passing through."

I quickly left the classroom.

"Princess!"

Selena also entered the room.

"If you want to be intimate, do it in a hotel!"

"We're sorry!"

I ran down the corridor.

A janitor was mopping the floor.

I knocked over his mop bucket.

The floor became wet and slippery.

When Selena passed over it, she slipped.

"Damn you!!"

I kept running.

Selena quickly got up and continued chasing me.

She didn't give up.

I entered another classroom, this time finding a pair of teachers enjoying their activities.

"What are you doing here?"

I should have been the one to ask that.

"Stop right there! I'll punish you!!"

I grabbed their clothes.

"There's another couple here!"

Selena entered the classroom.

"Do it in a hotel or at home!!!

You are rich, aren't you?"

A teacher's salary is ten times higher than a regular civil servant.

The students are nobles.

They are rich, not poor.

"Princess!! Why are you here!?"

I threw the teacher's underwear at Selena.

"What is this?"

While her eyes were covered, I jumped to the nearest tree.

From the tree, I jumped to the third-floor balcony.

"...That's my underwear..."

"How dare he throw something dirty at my head!!!"

I could hear Selena's angry scream.

She finally reached the balcony before jumping to the tree.

Looking around, she couldn't find me.

"He must have gone to the third floor."

Huh... this is going to take a while.

When she jumped to the third-floor balcony, I simultaneously jumped back to the tree.

Then I jumped to the ground.

"Arrrghh!! You're so agile!"

Selena, on the third-floor balcony, felt frustrated.

"I became an expert in hide-and-seek thanks to my sister."

With anger, she jumped to the ground.

Good thing, she strengthened her legs by channeling all her aura there.

I ran to the academy gate.

There, Selena's friends were waiting.

"Freya, Stella, Eve, catch him!"

Freya is not someone I could easily take down with my normie status, but I could handle her. The same goes for Stella and Eve.

The three of them just stood still, not taking a stance to catch me.

They underestimated me.

This will be much easier.

"Hey, buddy. What are you doing?"

Mush hadn't gone home yet.

"Borrow your body for a moment."

I grabbed the back of his shirt.

"Eh? What are you doing?"

I threw Mush at Freya.

"Uwaaahhh!!!"

Of course, Freya easily caught Mush.

But this way, I could focus on Stella.

I took off my blazer before throwing it at Stella's head.

Since her vision was obstructed, she didn't know that I was kicking her feet and making her fall.

"Surprising. I underestimated you."

Only Eve, who looked confused, was left.

I immediately grabbed her collar before throwing her at Freya, who had just set Mush aside and was about to catch me.

"Uwaah!!"

Freya didn't catch me because she was focused on Eve.

Finally, I managed to get out of the academy.

A horse carriage was passing by, and I immediately got on.

After pushing the driver aside, I took over the reins.

"Wait! Who are you?"

Without answering, I whipped the horse to make it run faster.

"Finally, I can escape."

"Escape from what?

This is my carriage!!

Get out!"

"Do you dare defy a noble?"

I abused my status.

"Forgive me!! Please don't kill me."

"Just stay there."

"You're quite nimble and cunning."

I heard Freya's voice from above.

Looking up, I saw an erotic black sight.

Female students were given two choices of uniform:

A short pleated skirt or long pants.

A student was free to choose.

Freya wore a skirt.

"Even though you're only fifteen years old, you're already wearing erotic black underwear."

"My body is young, but my soul is a mature woman, boy."

I pulled the reins and made the two horses stop abruptly.

Freya lost her balance and tumbled forward.

"You don't know the meaning of surrender, kid."

I got off the carriage.

The city in the late afternoon was very crowded, and I would take advantage of this crowd.

"Watch out!!! There's a high-level ghost."

People immediately panicked and scattered.

"Run!!!"

"Save yourselves!!!"

"Mother!!!"

I ran along with the panicked crowd.

"How dare you do something so despicable!!

What's your problem with Selena?"

I could hear Freya shouting angrily.

"Don't think I like doing this!!

I'm the victim here!

It's all Selena's fault!!"

Stella flew above me with her white wings.

"Huh... when will this end?"

"It will end if you surrender."

Answered Stella with a cold voice.

Boom!! Suddenly, a building in front of me collapsed.

A ghost really appeared.

It was just a head with a height of five meters.

Where ears should be, there were arms instead.

Meanwhile, there were legs on both sides of its chin.

"A common ghost."

A common ghost has no special skills, only great physical strength.

The strength of a common ghost is based on its height.

The strongest has a height of nine meters.

This ghost was five meters tall, so it was a level five ghost.

I immediately turned and ran.

Stella didn't catch me and chose to fight the ghost instead.

"Stop right there."

Freya intercepted me.

"You're not helping your friend?"

"Stella is enough."

Looking back, I realized the ghost was already in a sorry state.

One last slash from Stella turned the ghost into dust.

In front of me was Freya, and behind me was Stella.

I was truly trapped.

How do I escape from here?

****************

I decided to surrender.

With my current identity and status – normie – I couldn't defeat Stella and Freya.

I was brought to the garden in the academy by these four girls.

The garden was very beautiful, with various kinds of flowers in it.

In the middle of the garden, there was a statue of a swordsman; he was the founder of this academy.

I sat comfortably on the bench.

My relaxed demeanor made Selena furious.

Selena now had a pathetic appearance.

Her black hair was wet with sweat, and her clothes were soaked from slipping on the mopped floor.

"What actually happened?"

Freya asked.

"It's his fault for defiling me, he deserves to be punished."

Selena accused me as the perpetrator.

"Nonsense! There is no law in this country requiring all men to say 'yes' when a royal family member proposes dating."

"Selena, did you ask him out?"

Freya tried to confirm.

"Yes. Is there a problem?"

"Of course, it's a problem.

Don't make others your shield.

This is coercion. I can report this to your father, you know?"

"Ugh! ...Please don't do that."

"What does dating have to do with a shield."

Eve, who was a commoner and didn't know politics, was confused after hearing everything.

"Selena, as a princess, has many suitors.

But she doesn't want to get married.

That's why she needs a reason to reject their proposals.

If- what's your name?"

"Rhys."

"If Rhys becomes her boyfriend, Selena can say this to the suitors to reject them:

'I already have Rhys as the one I love, so I reject your proposal'."

"Why is it so complicated? Just say 'no', right?"

Said Eve.

"That can be done if the suitor is a lower or middle noble.

But if it's a high noble, then you can't refuse without giving a reason."

"Then why did Rhys reject Selena's offer?

He should be happy to be asked out by a princess."

Eve asked again.

"If he dates Selena and uses his name as a shield; the suitors will kill Rhys so that Selena no longer has a shield."

"Kill! Isn't that too much?!"

"This is the style of politics of the nobles in this kingdom.

The lower the status, the greater the chance of death."

"Huh..." Stella sighed in boredom; this was the first time she spoke.

"I regret helping you.

I should have let him go."

After saying that, Stella walked away from this place.

"Don't say that.

Anyway, I have to date him."

Although Selena said that, Stella didn't turn back or speak.

She kept walking away.

Her demeanor somehow felt cool.

"Why do you have to date him?"

Freya asked Selena.

"In front of Alvis, I said that Rhys is my boyfriend.

If he knows I've lied, I can't reject his proposal anymore."

"Is there something wrong with Alvis?

I see he is a good teacher."

Eve asked.

Alvis is the first son of Duke Incester.

While Incester itself is the largest noble family after the royal family.

There are even rumors that Incester's wealth and influence are stronger than the royal family.

"I just don't like him, that's all."

"I'm going home now."

I said goodbye.

"Wait! Say 'yes, I want to be your boyfriend' before you go!"

Selena stopped me by grabbing my arm.

"No, I don't want to."

"Then there's no other choice.

I will use the Noble Politics Style of Elis.

Be my boyfriend or die?"

This girl is really insolent!

I'm tired! I'm really tired of dealing with her attitude!

I wanted to resolve this peacefully, but it seems I can't.

Later, I will send someone from Made In Heaven to kill her.

"Selena, I will definitely report this incident to His Majesty."

"Selena, don't become a corrupted princess!"

Hmm? Does Selena have sorcery?

When she held my hand, I could tell she had it.

But, it seems she can't use it.

Or maybe it hasn't awakened.

"Alright, I will be your boyfriend.

But, the payment is very expensive."

"There's nothing I can't pay."

The payment I mean is your mysterious sorcery.

It means, I will take your bright future.

This is the payment for the services of a Dark Hand.
