Chapter 4: Preparing for Britain
"I don't understand, why can I help?"
Mu Yue's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Octavir will sigh.
"As mentioned before, many parts of Britain still have aristocratic privileges that have been handed down since the Middle Ages, and of course, many of them are also preserved."
"So what?"
「…… This includes a marriage dueling."
""Marriage dueling?" 」」」
Everyone who heard this for the first time looked at each other.
Di Qi, who had already finished breakfast, turned his head at this time when he had sunk his body back into the sofa.
"Do you want Xiao Mujun to think about the princess girl's betrothed person to start a duel, right?"
"Huh? Isn't it possible to stop the marriage if you win the war?"
Octavir nodded at Mengzhu, thought about it, and said with some embarrassment—
"It's just that, as the initiator of the duel, Mr. Mu will die if he fails, but if he succeeds,...... Mr. Mu, you will become the betrothed of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
……
The crowd fell silent.
Mengzhu, who was still moving and fantasized about going to Britain with Mu Yue to save Her Royal Highness the Princess, immediately cried with a sad face.
「…… That's right...... However, Tsuki-chan he ...... No, no, no!"
The girl hugged Mu Yue's arm and shook her head vigorously, and on the other side, Saeko stared at Octavir expressionlessly.
Mu Yue was very embarrassed.
He was not averse to helping Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was barely a friend.
But if it is based on the premise that he will become the other party's betrothed, then he hesitates.
Octavir saw Mu Yue's embarrassment, gritted her teeth, and bent down at Mu Yue again.
"I'm sorry to say that, but please really go and save Her Highness the Princess! When I came, Her Highness said that she promised that as long as you can save her, Mr. Mu, then she will fulfill your request, any request! - In addition, Your Highness will not force you to become her betrothed, and winning the duel will only make you legally a fiancée with Your Highness, and Your Highness has said that if you really don't want to, she will find a way to break this contract."
「…… Can it still be like this? But if the contract is terminated and Iyeta regains her freedom, isn't it possible that Her Majesty will be forced to marry someone at will?"
「……」
Octavir didn't answer.
Of course, she and Iyeta thought about it.
However, at the moment, it seems that finding a way to prevent the upcoming wedding with the son of the Grand Duke of Scotland is the top priority.
"I don't understand! Since the host can stop the wedding through a duel, of course someone else can! Why didn't the princess look for someone else and have to find her master?"
The fish gut puffed out and stared at Octavier.
"I hate to admit it, but it's true that the son of the Grand Duke of Scotland is a scumbag, but he is also the most powerful male in the entire British and the nobles of Her Royal Highness's generation."
"And how can Ieta be sure that I can defeat that man?"
"Because...... There is no mandatory requirement for the duelist to be present in person, and a subordinate can be appointed to replace him."
「…… Oh, after all, you guys have a crush on Sister Di Qi, right?"
Mu Yue finally understood what Iyeta's idea was.
"Yes, it's not a bright thing, but ...... Her Royal Highness the Princess once said, Mr. Mu, you are the only person she can think of who can save her now."
(Really...... Is it the only one? )
Mu Yue was noncommittal.
"However, since you can let someone else play and the marriage contract can be dissolved, won't Tsuki-chan be able to save Princess Iyeta with peace of mind? Moon-chan, Moon-chan, let's go to Britain to play!"
Mengzhu hugged Mu Yue's arm again and shook it.
"It's still summer vacation! Think of it as a trip, okay?"
Mengzhu is a girl with a strong sense of action, and after making the declaration that "we will ruin the wedding by the way of our trip to Britain", she ran towards Mu Yue's bedroom to pack her luggage.
As for why he ran towards Mu Yue's room......
Ahem, because the relationship between her and Mu Yue has been recognized by the two families, in fact, more than half of Mengzhu's clothes are on Mu Yue's side.
Mu Yue wanted to say something, but the people in the family were swarming and began to prepare for the trip.
Octavir opened her mouth.
「…… Do you always feel that the atmosphere doesn't seem right? We're going to do something very serious, right?"
"Probably."
"But why do they look like they're going on an outing?"
"Well, just get used to it."
Mu Yue smiled awkwardly, and suddenly saw Saeko Kashima also get up and prepare to leave.
「…… I'll go get ready."
"Huh? Saeko, you're going too?"
「……」
Nod.
「…… Okay, ahem."
After Saeko Kashima left.
"Octavir, when is Iyeta's wedding?"
"Four days to go."
"In such a hurry? Why would the queen be so desperate to marry Iyeta?"
"This ...... I don't know, I'm sorry, after all, I've also been dismissed as the head of the Knights, and it seems that I'm just the personal guard of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"That's ......."
Mu Yue nodded.
"I'm going to get my ticket to London......
"No need."
Octavir suddenly pulled out a dozen tickets from his chest (beast) department.
The corner of Mu Yue's eyes twitched and looked at Octavier, who was proudly raising the ticket, and found out that it was all first-class tickets.
First Class...... Even the first class cabin has absolutely no way to stop Gong Xingyun's plane phobia, right?
The embarrassed Mu Yue glanced at Octavier, who stuffed the ticket into his chest (divine beast) again, and couldn't help but complain in his heart-
(Are you four-dimensional boobs...... )
It didn't take long for a group of people to pack their luggage, but—
"This time, Mom, I won't go with me!"
Zhongli Meiyi said after helping to light up everyone's salutes.
"Mom, I'll stay to watch the house, and Xiao Wang will stay too."
Xiao Wangzhi is naturally gluttonous, a stupid dog that has been raised as a pet.
"I'm not going either, I've met a few people at Chongdao Palace recently, and I feel like I'm very good at talking."
It was Houtu who spoke.
"Woo ......? Then, I'll stay and help look after the house......
The turtle looked left and right, a little embarrassed, but the kind-hearted natural stay felt that he should stay and help Zhongli Meiyi take care of the house together.
As a result, the only ones who planned to play with the past were Emperor Qi, Mengxuan, Yugu, Shangyang, Longquan Seven Stars, Mengzhu and Saeko.
