Chapter 212

"Well then, let me introduce myself again."

In Rosie's room, the princess who seemed to be enjoying the current situation smiled happily as she spoke to Shien.

"I am Leah de Ella Mithra. Although it is something that will be given to Rosie sooner or later, I am now the first princess of this kingdom and the first in line to the throne. Please call me Leah."

The first princess of the kingdom said cheerfully and even winked at Shien with a mischievous look. It must be said that she was quite cute.

"… I am Shien. Please take care of me, Your Highness."

Shien replied in a half-resigned and half-powerless manner.

"You can just call me Leah." The princess, however, was not going to let it go. She chuckled and said, "You're welcome. Since Rosie has already asked you to call her by her nickname, if you still treat me differently, I will be displeased, understand?"

Hearing that, Shien wanted to roll his eyes, but he did not really have a casual attitude.

Because the cold and elegant female knight standing behind Leah had been glaring at Shien, as if silently warning him not to be rude to Leah, so Shien really did not want to provoke her.

Mainly because it was troublesome.

On the other hand, Leah was not aware of the situation at all. She was still teasing Shien, asking Shien to call her name directly.

Rosie could not stand it anymore and spoke up.

"Sister Leah, you are a princess after all. Please don't tease others like that, okay? If others really take it seriously and think that they can become intimate with you, so they pester you, then Shana will lose control again. " Rosie sighed as if she had swapped places with her sister. She lectured, "Also, it's unnecessary to say that you'll give it up sooner or later. Sister will be the first in line to the throne in the future, the future Queen of the Kingdom. Please don't give up that kind of thing so easily."

Rosie's words did not make Leah feel defeated. Instead, she puffed up her cheeks.

"But the nobles in the kingdom say that you are more suitable to be the queen than I am." Leah said angrily. "Moreover, with your terrifying popularity, everyone will support you. No one will support me to succeed the throne."

"That's just what others think." Rosie said indifferently. "I have already told everyone that I do not wish to go to the Realm of Gods and become a resident there. I also do not wish to inherit the throne and become the queen of the kingdom."

"But that's also what Rosie thinks, right?" Lia looked at Rosie and said, "Everyone thinks that this is just a moment of willfulness on your part, and is looking forward to when you will come to your senses."

"That's too bad, because I've always been sober," Rosie said without hesitation, "So, I will still disappoint everyone."

"She's so stubborn. Rosie used to fulfill everyone's expectations no matter what kind of occasion she was in. Why can't she listen to everyone's opinions on such a big matter?" Leah sighed and turned to Shien, as if seeking support. "Shien, you think so too, right? Has this woman always been so stubborn? "

Shien laughed dryly and glanced at the indifferent Rosie, ridiculing her inwardly.

(That's not stubbornness. She's just scared.)

Even if Rosie pretended to be calm and indifferent, Shien knew that the woman must be protesting desperately in her heart.

Being a princess who complied with everyone's expectations was already tiring enough. If she really became the queen, or settled down in the Realm of Gods with the goddesses, wouldn't it be a disaster for the princess?

Becoming the queen meant that she would have to bear even greater expectations. Perhaps she would have to bear the heavy burden of leading the kingdom to become the world's number one. That would definitely make her vomit blood.

Not to mention becoming a resident of the Realm of Gods. She would have to maintain her image among a group of goddesses at all times, not daring to reveal her true face. Not to mention, she would not be able to eat her favorite desserts. That would definitely make her break down.

That was why the princess was panicking and afraid. She probably wouldn't dare to agree to these things, right?

Shien saw through all of Rosie's thoughts, and looked at her with even more disdain.

Rosie seemed to have noticed Shien's thoughts. She glared at him without a trace, as if saying, "Do it if you can."

Naturally, Shien would not indulge the lass, and gave her a kick under the table.

"…!"

Rosie almost cried out, but she managed to hold it in with great difficulty. Just now, she flew into a rage out of humiliation and kicked him as well.

But Shien was prepared, and clamped Rosie's foot.

This time, Rosie could not move. She could only clench her teeth as she picked up the cup of black tea, and took a big gulp as if she was trying to hide something. Her violent actions startled the cold and elegant female knight who seemed to be called Shannai who was guarding behind Lia.

"Hehe."

Lia, on the other hand, was staring at Shien and Rosie who were behaving strangely. Although she did not notice the fight between the two under the table, she keenly noticed the occasional eye contact between the two. She smiled happily.

He looked as if he was very amused and amused.

"Forget it. I can't persuade you. Anyway, Father and Alidia are here. They will definitely bother you about the throne." Lia's beautiful eyes turned slightly, as if she had calculated the timing. She suddenly said, "But, I'm very interested in the relationship between the two of you. You can tell me about it, right? "

Lia's words not only stopped Rosie from drinking her tea, but also attracted the attention of the cold and elegant female knight named Shannai behind her.

Sean, on the other hand, continued to pretend to be mute and did not say anything to avoid being implicated.

In the end, the question could only be answered by Rosie.

"Sister Lia, can you stop being so curious?" Rosie said with a rare dissatisfied attitude in front of outsiders. "My relationship with Shien is very normal. We're just friends who get along well. I hope you won't be like those nobles who make wild guesses and try to figure things out. Take it as me begging you."

It seemed that the princess still had some self-awareness. She was very clear that her special treatment of Shien had caused many nobles to be suspicious of it, and had even done something about it.

If even the nobles were like that, Lia as a member of the royal family was naturally no exception. Not to mention that the person involved was her exceedingly excellent sister.

That was why Lia spoke very bluntly.

"Because Rosie has never been so close to anyone of the opposite sex. I believe that it's not just me and those nobles. Father is also paying attention to this matter."

As Lia said so, she looked at Sean and said meaningfully, "Don't worry about it.

"Moreover, I'm also very curious. What's so special about an adventurer that my Rosie would take a liking to?"

"Don't tell me that it's just because he defeated the Old Demons like Beetho and Killian."

"That level is far from enough to gain the approval of my exceedingly excellent sister."

These words caused the atmosphere in the room to more or less change.

It became tense and subtle.
