Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

e, and as a coordinator of the Great Alliance for defense from the New Continent’s invasion, we’re possessing large ships and weapons and is conducting research to produce them in our own country.
If anything, this country is currently the most prominent nation on this continent.
So the King is not in a situation where he has to sell his pretty daughter whatsoever.

“…no, rumor has it that the second prince of the neighboring country is a good-looking, intelligent, kind-hearted, and gentle person…” (Chii-neesama)

“Then, why?” (Mitsuha)

I wonder if he developed a bad habit towards females because he’s too popular…

“Someone who can’t beat Japan in [World Advanced Daisenryaku] is a little bit…” (Chii-neesama)

“What the heck is that!!!” (Mitsuha)

“…he didn’t even try to play the game… tte, spit the truth already!!” (Mitsuha)

Of course, the reason she told me earlier was a lie…

The second princess, who is terrified by my threatening expression, started speaking…

“…because there is no game console, delicious sweets, cakes, cold squishy juices, kotatsu, or mandarin oranges in neighboring country…” (Chii-neesama)

“So, it’s because of this room!?!?” (Mitsuha)

…ah.

Indeed, in countries around here, it is normal for aristocrats and royalties to be engaged since childhood or get married as soon as they come of age.
So it’s not strange for such a topic coming for the second princess, who is about 15 – 16 years old.
Or rather, it’s stranger that she has no fiancée until now.

However, there’s a [Something strange] in this country.
…right, it is the existence of the first princess.

“Say, isn’t the first princess has to marry first before you do? She’s already about 24 – 25 years old, right? …could it be that her husband died, and his younger brother took over the family, so she left the family she was married to and went back…” (Mitsuha)

Bufoo!! (SFX)

“Gyaa!! What are you doing, Sabine-chan!!” (Mitsuha)

Sabine-chan spat the carbonated drink she had been drinking.

“Uuh, my eldest sister is still 18 years old!!” (Sabine-chan)

“Eh?” (Mitsuha)

Sabine-chan just told me a shocking fact!!

“Eeeh?” (Mitsuha)

Even though I already say 24 – 25 y/o out of consideration…

“Eeeehhhhhh!!!!??” (Mitsuha)

Of course, I noticed that she’s acting like she’s interested in Alexis-sama… or rather, the ones who don’t notice that would probably be just a dense manga character and Alexis-sama himself.

No, there’s also the possibility that Alexis-sama is aware, and he was just avoiding that by pretending to be clueless about that…

I thought she was just fangirling over that Alexis-sama, who had been honored as a hero of the absolute defense of the royal capital and the founder of a new noble family, just like Japanese aunties who are warmly watching over a young idol…

D-don’t tell me, that is really [love]!!!!

This bad! This is very bad!!

…eh?

What is bad, you ask?

E~to…

“B-but, if that’s the case, then the order would…” (Mitsuha)

“Onee-sama lost her fiancé two years ago.
After that, she has been depressed for a long time… so it was decided to keep such topics away from Onee-sama for a while.
But recently, she’s feeling better, and we can finally see her smile” (Sabine-chan)

Aaaah, I thought so!!!

A joyous event…

What a joyous event, yeah.

Even for Count Bozes, it would be great to be related to the royal family.

The King also would be more than glad to bring in the Bozes family, who is sure to be promoted to a Marquis soon, which is the cornerstone of the establishment of the navy.
And the Bozes family also has a good relationship with me.

Yeah, joyous!! …right…

But Alexis-sama seemed to prefer the second princess.

Right, that’s how it was when he was awarded the title.

But if such topics were coming from the royal family, would the count couple be able to turn it down?

And if that indulgent King knew that his heartbroken daughter finally got into that kind of feeling…

Un, Alexis-sama, live strongly…
