I Didn’t Save You To Get Proposed To - Chapter 6
When he saw the grooming that she had desired and was told that she would never regret betraying her motherland, there was no more room for doubt.
Despite the fact that he was her brother and that he had tried to kill her, she couldn’t forgive Decan.
Furthermore, her favorite color is blue, which is frequently written in anonymous kites.
Blue eyes are so beautiful, according to the cliché sentences.
This was certain, regardless of how little he knows about women.
He didn’t let go of his doubt until the very end, but her words were flawless.
And if she mentions a banquet from three years ago—
Her eyes, which had remained calm and clear throughout the conversation, trembled at that point.
He’d even forgotten he’d danced with her, but she admitted she hadn’t.
According to the Marquis wife, it was not a special event for her, but it was clear that it meant a lot to her.
‘And so you told me all the motherland’s secrets in order to win this war.’
She was locked up for three years anyway, so she didn’t know how useful her information would be. So he tried to keep still.
However, he thought it was cute to see her pouring out various information, even though she was mixed up to help as much as possible.
He was aware that many women admired him, but he had never seen such an active and dedicated woman before.
“But why are you arriving so late? I don’t believe you’ve ever dined with the Princess.”
“Ah.”
Ixion responded with a casual look, as if it weren’t a big deal.
“I came to see the Emperor after seeing Princess Elsia.”
“His Majesty The Emperor?”
“There was a demand— No, there was something to negotiate.”
Aiden blinked his eyes open.
He had no idea what Ixion was betting on or how much he got for negotiating with the Emperor.
Ixion was unlikely to tell him anyway, so he spoke with the utmost personal hope.
“I hope you requested the Duchy. The land will not become imperial if Artise is destroyed.”
Aiden quickly realized that his wish had not been granted when he noticed no change in Ixion’s expression.
“For the time being, if you take Artise, you won’t be able to make a larger contribution than this. Indeed, after this war, you must consider the future.”
Aiden’s advice to “think about the future” has, in fact, been repeated for years.
His mother, a commoner, died when he was young, so he had no support from the start.
From an early age, he was known as a master of swordsmanship, and he was able to make his name known because he contributed to all wars and battles.
Ixion’s popularity among the general public was enormous, owing to his numerous accomplishments and victories, but there was no basis to support him.
The Emperor and Crown Prince were concerned about his popularity. It proved that he had not been bestowed with a title.
“Didn’t you request the Duchy?”
“Certainly not that one.”
“And then?”
“You don’t have to know right now.”
“Without a sense of purpose, we cannot live by killing only the enemy in front of us, Prince. The Prince’s blood will eventually drive his destiny to its logical conclusion.”
“I’ve heard it a thousand times.”
“There’s only one way to think about it if you didn’t ask for a title. I’m relieved it’s not too difficult.”
“Is it not difficult?”
“Of course,”
Aiden would always give Ixion two options. Request a title or act in a noble manner.
By far the most powerful and symbolic way of uniting the aristocracy was marriage.
Aiden, the patrician of the aristocracy, knew how scary politics was.
When the hunt is over, the hounds are abandoned. Aiden was always worried that his lord would suffer and be purged.
Aiden said with a serious face, eager for the effects of repeat learning.
“There are so many Young Ladies in the capital who are dreaming of marrying you. Among them, the young lady of noble families with good ideas and good backgrounds—.”
“Why do they dream of getting married to me?”
Ixion asked indifferently.
“I’ve always been on the front lines, I don’t have my own territory, and I’m still a long way from the throne. So why are they interested in marrying me?”
“It’s because they enjoy it. Don’t young people like you fly their kites every day? What is that heart’s ultimate desire?”
Aiden leaped to his feet and answered without hesitation.
“It’s natural to dream of marrying someone you like.”
“….Is that so?”
“Sure, isn’t there a saying that the completion of love is marriage? Isn’t it natural to want to make an eternal promise if you like someone?”
“Yes, it’s a marriage—”
“In any case, promise me.”
Aiden firmly put his hand on the waist.
“After this Artise expedition, you will surely think of the future.”
Aiden had little expectation after saying the same thing over and over again. Surprisingly, Ixion responded with a smile.
“All right, let’s think about the future this time.”
*******
Ixion has been gone for a while, conquering Artise.
“Let’s have a meal— Princess—.”
With a low voice, Sera began to place a meal from the kitchen on the table.
I assumed it wouldn’t get any worse if I was stuck, but my house deteriorated as if there was an underground beneath the floor.
Although Ixion was far from the throne, he was regarded as a war hero by the people.
The fact that Artise attempted to assassinate the great Prince Ixion while secretly preparing for war infuriated the entire Imperial people.
As a hostage, I had no choice but to be affected by the anger.
“Uh, how—would that be all right?”
My meal was the first thing that took a beating.
When I first became possessed, I prepared my upper legs to be bent from morning to night, and it was now very shabby.
Lunch consisted of pork tenderloin, a salad without dressing, an apple, and a half-boiled egg.
There was not even dessert to eat.
“It’s all right— it’s a very healthy diet.”
The diet was unintentionally compelled to be finished.
‘Even if we postpone the disposition, being in the palace when the war begins will be a little more difficult.’
This is exactly what Ixion stated. The Imperial Palace’s enmity grew more and more pronounced.
I wanted to shout that I saved the 3rd prince you adore, but I held it in.
When the rumor spread and I became free, I couldn’t have been stabbed by Decan’s minions.
If the former Elsia had locked herself in the room, I wanted to move as much as I could, but even that became difficult.
When I walked out into the hallway, the boots were stepped on, and the maids slammed their shoulders together and passed.
I was eventually forced to lock myself back in the room.
“We’ve got to get out of here—”
After lunch, I looked in the mirror and began doing some basic yoga.
I quickly returned to normal shape by combining diet and exercise.
In the mirror, I stared blankly at myself. In the eyes of a professional, it was a little strange.
It’s not only difficult to lose weight in such a short period of time, but a sudden diet usually causes me to droop or lose weight, but there were no such marks.
My body was perfectly trimmed, as if I had never gained weight.
Furthermore, the features have become unusually distinct.
‘I don’t know how to explain it… I can’t say anything when the idols return, but it’s subtly beautiful… That’s exactly what I mean.’
It’s the same as if you can’t attract sunlight, but your skin is red and your dark circles have vanished.
‘I’d like to ask the search portal about the procedure they went through.’
There’s clearly something wrong with it, but there’s no scale and no one to ask, so I had no choice but to accept it.
‘Are these humans different from Homo sapiens—?’
I swallowed the question and tilted my head.
Anyway, before Ixion returns, I only have one goal left. Accept the aristocracy and put it on my side.
I took out a memo and wrote down the first name. It was fortunate that it was natural to read and write after being possessed.
[The Marquis of Evgeny.]
She has saved the day of destruction for the murder of a royal family because of me, and of course she will assist me.
I was reminded of a letter I received a few days ago.
[Dear Princess Elsia Artise.
I apologize for introducing myself to you via correspondence.
I’m sorry that the Marquis is far from the capital and I couldn’t thank you in person because I was busy with various things.
Marquis Evgeny was indebted to the Princess incalculably.
I, Mela Evgeny, I will never forget and will never inform the public for your safety.
Please feel free to make it up to me if you ever need Evgeny, Princess.
As soon as I have the opportunity, I will travel to the capital to personally thank you.
Keep yourself healthy until then.
Mela Evgeny]
Marquis Evgeny will undoubtedly support me.
Then, I believe that only a few noble families need to prosper in order to support the Marquis—.
‘There’s a major incident here.’
It was an event in which two great nobles were on the verge of collapsing due to financial difficulties caused by fraud.
‘I don’t care about the twisted original in any case, but I’ll do whatever I want.’
Even if others were possessed, they were able to live comfortably with aristocratic women’s meals, but I sighed because I didn’t even have freedom.
I went over the original story and came up with two names.
[The Duke of Roziad.]
[The Duke of Geoffrey.]
They were both few Duke in the Empire, so it would have been better if they were brought only on my side.
