Chapter 146

「Jokes aside, let’s come up with a method of preventing everyone else know your existences…」

『Lord, I wasn’t joking though?』

All the more then.

『Cristea, you want to, keep us a secret?』「That’s not it…」

Rather, I want to “My children are so adorabz! Look, look at them!” show off like a doting parent. It’s just I don’t want my cute children to be used by the country or other people.

『Is fine, if Cristea wishes, I will become a social outcast…』「Hey, Mashiro?? Where did you learn such words!?」

Mashiro occasionally lets out surprising remarks, doesn’t he!?

「Now, now, Mashiro-dono. It’s not like Miss Cristea wants to keep you hidden because she likes. Miss Cristea fears that you and Kurogane-dono will be used by others. She wants to keep you hidden in order to protect the two of you, that’s the thinking behind it」『To protect us…?』『Lord, you want to protect us…?』

Yes! Indeed!Besides, being employed by the country as a court magician or something sounds troublesome in various ways. I’m satisfied with getting healed in mofumofu paradise and eating delicious things.

Although I say that, because of my standing as the Duke’s daughter, I understand that I have a duty to fullfil for the sake of Ellisfeed House’s development.But, that doesn’t mean I have to become the fiancé of His Highness the Crown Prince, right? There are other ways to contribute to the development of the country…

In the future, even if I don’t become a bride, I will be earning some small change from the rights of my recipes, so I won’t be living at the streets, see? Moreover, I have the choice of registering as an adventurer too.

With this many preparations, is there a need to keep Mashiro and others secret…?
