Princess Claude then turns red in the face and starts making excuses, but it is already obvious from her attitude that she already has a liking for me.

I think elementary kids are better at lying than her.

Given that her speech was so slurred, it is amazing she thought she would fool me. Furthermore, her face was so red that it looked as if one could boil water with it. On top of that, her eyes were swimming around.

Clearly, you don’t have to be a mentalist to know that Princess Claude is lying.

“Is that so…”

“Yeah! So don’t get the wrong idea that I like you… b-but… I do think you’re cool… Well, you might find it hard to believe I would say such a thing after having picked a fight with you before, but that’s why you can believe my words, or whatever they are…”

And then, she twisted her body and said such a thing with her face reddening even more while wriggling and squirming.

Eh? Isn’t it too early for her to be dere? If she doesn’t at least show a little more of tsun-tsun, I’ll feel like my last hope of using that tsun to break off the engagement will be gone.

I got completely set up by the Emperor.

I never expected Princess Claude to be so easily smitten. Otherwise, she would not have fallen in love with someone else while being heartbroken by Sufia and Bridgette.

In that respect, in a sense, the game itself would be a bland story if the main character didn’t have a romantic nature, so in that light, it probably makes sense that Princess Claude is now a Choroin. 

[TLN: Choroin is easy to capture heroine.]

If you take advantage of this characteristic, there is a possibility that Princess Claude will fall in love with another good-looking guy if he is courting her. However, it is unthinkable that a good-looking guy, better than the main character in such a game, or at least an aristocrat, would go after Princess Claude now, which is also unlikely to happen. So it’s safe to assume that the chances of that happening are low.

In the first place, as an aristocrat, one would undoubtedly know that Princess Claude used to be a man, and they would also be aware of Princess Claude’s many recent blunders.

I’d like to see any nobleman go out of his way to get engaged to a Princess Claude like that!

“H-hey. What’s the matter? You suddenly started holding your head. If you’re having a hard time, can I stay with you? If you want, I can sit by your bed and stroke your head until you fall asleep, okay?”

And when I realized that I had no choice but to marry Princess Claude no matter how hard I tried, I held my head in my hands, and Princess Claude was so worried about me that she rubbed my back comforting me.
