The Political Marriage of the Beastman Prince and Healer Princess

Six o’clock in the morning as promised.
Our Tenar Kingdom members gathered at the entrance and stood on the spot.

“Nonelia, I’m glad you’re safe.”
“Remilio, I missed you.”

My brother, who has just arrived, is exchanging a hot hug with my sister-in-law.

I’m sure my brother was very worried and was looking for my sister-in-law.
So, after receiving Simon’s news, he couldn’t wait, and he must have hurried to rush off.

I think Nonelia-oneesama was also very anxious because she was kidnapped.
That’s why she must have really missed my brother.
I understand the feeling of excitement.

But the sight of the two of them being fiercely lovey at the entrance was so exciting that I was embarrassed, and I felt like I saw something I shouldn’t see.

Involuntarily, I pressed my face against Gresis-sama’s arm next to me and turned my eyes.

“There’s nothing more awkward than when you see your relatives flirting. It’s natural to want to flirt, but I want you to think about the place. I remember it too, so I know how you feel.”

Frair-oniisama put his hand on my head and glanced at Timir-oniisama.

“It can’t be helped. Sometimes it gets exciting. Lilith, it’s good to leave them alone here.”

Timir-oniisama who winks may have been often witnessed by Frair-oniisama.
Of course, I don’t ask where it was.

“Then, they can do what they please over there, so let’s get in the horse-drawn carriage and leave.”

When Gresis-sama saw me blushing, he smiled, put his hand around my back and escorted me to the carriage.

I wish you both happiness. I’m also looking forward to meeting again at the royal palace.
While thinking that in my heart, I tried to get on the carriage.

“Wait a minute.”
Before I got on the carriage, my brother, who had regained his calm before I knew it, chased me.

“I’m sorry for the late greeting. I’m Remilio, the Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Seiran. Thank you for saving Nonelia this time.”

When my brother thanked them, Timir-oniisama also returned his greeting.

“I’m Timir, the first prince and crown prince of the Tenar Kingdom. He is the second prince and the next prime minister, Flair, and he is the third prince and knight, Gresis, the husband of Lilith.”

“My name is Frair. It’s an honor to meet you.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time, my name is Gresis. I’m Lilith’s husband.”
“Brother, it’s been a long time.”

After my older brother nodded and responded to each greeting, he turned to the same crown prince, Timir-oniisama.

“I want to report on the attackers last night. Can you give me some time?”
“Of course. We came to congratulate you, so if you want to speak to us, we will take as much time as we can.”

Timir-oniisama laughed as a matter of course.

“Thank you for your consideration. Then, let’s go to the house for now.”
Because Timir-oniisama is friendly, my brother guided us to the guest room, even though he was a little confused.

“I found out that the purpose of the attackers was to kill the beastmen, and it had nothing to do with the kidnapping of Nonelia. The culprit of the person who kidnapped Nonelia is already in her family.”

Actually, three days ago, it was said that Nonelia-oneesama had an incurable disease, and she’s not suitable for the queen, so please don’t look for her. It seems that there was a commotion in the royal palace because she left a letter and disappeared.

Naturally, the incurable disease is a lie, and it seems that her sister, Miss Homina, threatened the chamberlain to marry my brother, put sleeping pills in Nonelia-oneesama’s tea, and took her to the frontier in a horse-drawn carriage while she was sleeping.

She paid a lot of money to the Margrave of Bonape in advance, and since Nonelia has an infectious disease, she wanted him to isolate her on the frontier until she heals. It is said that she asked for it.

“So, the woman the attacker was looking for was Lilith?”
Contrary to Gresis-sama’s calm voice, his tail was hitting the floor violently.
My brother nodded slowly.

“Probably. But I don’t know the purpose. In the first place, it has been decided at the royal palace that we will not make it public that we are inviting you until the day of the wedding. In other words, those who know the schedule of the carriage and can attack are those who are quite close to the royal family, and there is a high possibility that they are anti-beastman aristocrats.”

“Brother, what is the possibility of it being the Margrave of Bonape? He also knows our schedule.”

“It may not be irrelevant, but it can’t be said to be white or black. For a long time it has been rumored that he will take on anything if he is given money, but there is no evidence left of any certain crime. He was just asked to quarantine a sick person again this time. That’s what will be said, but as a result, he received the money and locked up Nonelia, so I’m planning to pursue it to see if he’s involved in other crimes.”

“As long as the criminal is not clear, there is still a possibility that we will be targeted.”

Frair-oniisama folded his hands on the table.

“Unfortunately, the anti-beastman people have a strong sense of discrimination, and they have a strong perception that beast people are lower than humans. Our royal family is considered to be a descendant of a goddess, so even if it is the royal family, it may not be allowed for the beastmen to attend the wedding of our family.”

A wrinkled formed between Remilio-niisama’s eyebrows, and Gresis-sama has his hand on his chin.

“We can’t relax until the wedding. It seems better to act separately from the carriage and go to the royal palace by horse. If a horse-drawn carriage is attacked in the royal capital, even if you defend yourself, the impression is bad. If you’re not good at it, it’ll be the second act of the past.”

“The beastman attack on the capital? There is a possibility that they are aiming for that. No one has been told about us, so if we are misunderstood as sneaking into the country, and we swing a sword in self-defense, we will immediately become criminals, right?”

Timir-oniisama shrugged his shoulders.

“Moreover, it’s with a princess who was forced to marry a beastman for the sake of the country. It looks like she was called to return. Isn’t that what they’re aiming for?”

Frair-oniisama snorted.
My brother pressed between his eyebrows and said with a tired expression.

“When I came here, I only told the knight of the imperial guard who accompanies my father. The treatment of the guests is wrong, but it would be safer for you to go to the royal palace with me. How about going together?”
“I agree with that opinion.”

We agreed with Timir-oniisama’s reply, and we decided to go to the royal palace by horse with Remilio-niisama.
Finally, Remilio-niisama said,

“I’m sorry, but I want to talk to Lilith. Can you just leave the two of us for a moment?”
“I got it. Let’s go out first. We’ll be getting ready to leave in the meantime.”

Gresis-sama got up with my brothers-in-law and went out of the guest room.
Just before he left his seat, Gresis-sama’s tail got entangled in my hand and left regretfully.

I was alone across the table from Remilio-niisama in the guest room.

“Lilith, it seems that you healed the injured knights. I heard from Simon. They found out, didn’t they?”

It’s awkward that my father reminded me so much, but they found out as soon as I got married.
I don’t regret it, but I involuntarily turned my eyes away and nodded.

“I guess you couldn’t hide it after all. . . .”
“As soon as I got married, an epidemic spread. So I had no choice. . . But like the Kingdom of Seiran, they promised to keep it a secret of the royal family.”

My brother frowned.

“The king knows how to say that, too. Geez, aren’t you being used? Is your body okay?”

“He cares about me very much, and he lets me do what I want to do. When I use Healer, like the Kingdom of Seiran, a doctor will accompany me. I also have an escort knight, and Gresis-sama. . . Brother?”

Remilio-niisama is silent with his chin on his hand on the table and a mushy expression.

“You look like you are having more fun than when you were in our country. It’s a good thing.”
I moved my seat because my brother urged me to sit next to him.

“We are also working on the issue of slave protection and beastman discrimination, and we are taking measures to prevent complaints from the Tenar Kingdom. So, if you want to come back to our country, I was going to take this opportunity to do my best so that you don’t have to go to the Tenar Kingdom, but is it not necessary?”

I answered my brother’s serious eyes with a smile.

“Yes, I’m happy to have met my beloved one in the Tenar Kingdom. I’m looking forward to attending my brother’s wedding, but I came to brag about my husband and brothers-in-law.”
“Well, that’s fine then.”

My brother, who gave me a gentle smile, suddenly widened his eyes and took my left hand.

“Hey, you’re married, why aren’t you wearing a ring?”
“I think it’s a cultural difference. The wedding over there is just the priest and us, and it’s over when we sign. It’s easy, and we don’t exchange rings.”

“Oh, I see. Hey, call Prince Gresis. I want to talk to him alone.”

What happened all of a sudden, brother?
You want to kick me out and talk to Gresis-sama.

“Shouldn’t I be here?”
“Ah, it’s an important conversation between men.”

What is it, I’m a little jealous.

I was going to ask Gresis-sama, who came out of the guest room, to tell me what he talked to my brother about.

“I’m sorry, it’s a secret between men.”
No way, Gresis-sama won’t tell me.

I wonder when the two of them got so close.

 

In the next chapter we get to find out what they talked about.
