The Political Marriage of the Beastman Prince and Healer Princess

The time for His Highness Gresis’s departure was approaching, so I saw him off in front of the gate at eight o’clock in the morning.

Wearing a sword and a knight’s combat uniform that is different from the usual knight’s uniform, Prince Gresis was a brave swordsman himself, but perhaps because he was handsome, I could feel his masculine sex appeal.

“I’ll be back as soon as possible. Lilith’s mission will also be difficult. Don’t overdo it.”
“Your Highness, please be careful. Also, could you please accept this?”

I presented His Highness Gresis with an embroidered handkerchief with a sword design and his initials.

“In my home country, we give a handkerchief embroidered with the initials of that person and a motif to the person we cherish. It also means that I will always be by your side.”

His Highness Gresis received the embroidered handkerchief and traced the embroidery with his hand.

“Thank you. I see, to those you cherish. . . to those you cherish?”
He did a double take.

“Yes, I cherish you. I, Your Highness. . . I cherish Gresis-sama.”

It’s embarrassing to confirm it.
But it’s important, so I said it twice.
With momentum, I tried to call him by name.

After putting the handkerchief he received in his chest pocket, His Highness Gresis hugged me tightly.

“Thank you. I’ll keep it with me and always think of Lilith.”
“Please come back safely and return the ribbon.”

I hugged Prince Gresis back.

“It’s okay. I always keep my promises. Lilith, show me your face.”

When I loosened my arms and looked up at Prince Gresis, Prince Gresis raised his cloak with his right hand.

When my vision suddenly darkened and I didn’t understand the meaning, Prince Gresis’s left hand held my chin and his lips softly touched mine. At that moment, I was surprised by the softness and my body reacted.

By the time I realized what had happened, our lips parted and the cloak was pulled down at the same time, so my vision brightened and everything seemed to happen in an instant.

“Don’t push yourself too hard, Lilith. Can you promise?”

Embarrassment welled up in me as I gazed into His Highness Gresis’s champagne-like beautiful, fiery, yellow eyes.

While I was still bright red, I couldn’t even make a sound and I could only nod.

His Highness Graces smiled satisfactorily, released the hand on my chin and quickly straddled the waiting horse.

“I’m going.”
“Be safe.”
I saw him off until he was out of sight.

I vividly remembered the feeling on my lips, and for a while, I stood still with a flushed face.

Dolph and my guard Sanse were watching over everything. When I finally realized that, the redness subsided, and I calmed down a few minutes later.

“Wah, what happened to me made me forget that you two were here. . .”
I covered my face in agony.

“Your Highness, you don’t have to be so shy, it’s okay. I tried not to look at the state of the two of you at that time, and the important point is that His Highness hid it with the cape, so please don’t worry.”

Seeing Dolph’s warm smile, I understood for the first time the meaning of His Highness Gresis raising his cloak.

But I already know that beastmen have good ears. So he must have heard everything.

If there is a hole, I want to enter it.

For the time being, the flushing of the face did not seem to subside.

For some reason as I was translating this chapter I kept picturing it with a sparkly background with a lot of flower petals. I have been corrupted by manga and anime.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
