Doro Doro Obake Ouji-sama Chapter 12

Our life in that house felt as if it was a lie, and the life in the mansion hasn’t changed at all.

The fact that I disappeared from social circles, was covered as if my marriage with Mikhail was progressing, and because of his circ.u.mstances I have stayed in the royal palace.

To schedule it.

Despite the variety of those rumors, as my brother said it’s not as bad as I thought. While there seems to be criticism as to whether we really want to marry the royal family even if it’s with Muddy ghost, and there is a criticism to the royal family, image that the royalty betrayed the minister who served the country for many years seems to be strong. That is why Jean-sama and Mikhail are sorry for that.

The most hateful comments are coming to the daughter of earl and Vissel. I don’t want to hear even a bit about that, but my older brother couldn’t stay silent and told me everything.

And the best rumors are about recovery of Mikhail. It seems that Jean-sama is saying that this is due to my devotion to him. Separately, it is not such a good talk, but since the curse of Mikhail actually resolved, there were even blessing voices for two people who have overcome all the hards.h.i.+ps.

I don't want to leave the house because i'm a little embarra.s.sed.

Thanks to my return some tea party invitations were received. But I can't attend. Unfortunately I am too busy to have time to enjoy tea graciously.

My father told me the date of the ceremony, I was impatient, and my cheeks flushed about my life with Mikhail coming closer.

Preparing for the ceremony and in preparation for the evening party. The time pa.s.sed by soon, I thought I could hardly wait till that day of the evening party.

“Do not speak unnecessary things, stay next to his Highness Mikhail. We will also watch over you.”

It was my father who said so to me when I was in a carriage. Next to me was my mother that closely resembles me, and next to her was my older brother that closely resembles my father. I guarantee it will be fine if these people are here. No matter how bad I will be rumored, they definitely would be on my side, I myself have not done anything wrong.

So now … … I just want to see Mikhail!!

I thought it was troublesome, but I wish I could see Mikhail’s face. Maybe it’s the only chance.

I wonder if he is busy or have lost weight. Like me, I wonder if he miss being able to meet me.

Maybe he went outside, and met some pretty woman there, maybe it's hard for him to choose.

While thinking about this, I step into the royal palace, where we were living just a while ago.

“Ah”

Beside my brother, near the dining hall, I can see bright red head.

I can recognize him even from his back. That color is Mikhail's.

His head slowly turns, the face that I have been seeing everyday just recently, appears.

“Mikhail …”

What is that? He looks really cool. Can't imagine he was a naked man just until recently. My feet that seems to start the run without permission, I have to bear with it … I can not abide! He was stopped by my brother as usual. Don’t stare at me.

“What are you doing”

Mikhail who came while I was stupefied, is too cool. Military uniforms that are royalty ‘s formal clothes suits him well, and his complexion is also good.

“Mikhail …”

“Take good care of my sister.”

My brother bows quickly.

“No, I’m grateful.”

“… I’m sorry for betrayal.”

“It was bad, of course.”

Mikhail is having sad looking face. He can have such kind of face? Well, for Vissel we strongly protested , so I guess the only thing I have to do is apologize to Mikhail who was not so much as a younger brother at that time.

“I’m sorry … Your older brother is becoming more and more like our father.”

“Onii-chan , you are exactly like him”

I recently mistakenly called my older brother – father, but it is already disturbing .

On the contrary it is interesting that he seems to be a little happy being called that. It is an expressionless and easy-to-understand family.

“You, what happened to your look?” ”

” What is …?"

Red dress. Of course it’s his color … but, what? Is it embarra.s.sing?

“b.r.e.a.s.t.s are exposed too much”

“Huh!?”

No they are not!

“Looking at it from above, you can see them.”

“No, if not looking at them with those guilty eyes, of course!”

“Men are all like that”

What is he telling me. No, there are surely some people with motives here

But then Mikhail …

“Are you looking at others like that?”

Some of girls are wearing dresses that emphasize minds even more than mine, I think there are some boys who touch their body easily.

Besides that, Mikhail now is cool enough to disperse any rumors.

“… I have not seen it, I am not interested.”

“But,”

“Let me advocate for my brother this time?”

“… Eh?”

It was Jean-sama who interrupted the talk.

“Oh, it’s been a long time!”

“Oh, that dress, you look good in it. ”

“Thank you.”

“Mikhail is not honest, as you know, but until today he worked hard in preparations for your marriage"

"…"

If I look at Mikhail with doubt, he will be awfully saddened. I see. Apparently he is.

“I’m sorry, but we will be busy today. Around all the greetings and the last announcement of the wedding ceremony. It has to be done to some extent, so that you can actually show your relations.h.i.+ps.”

” Relations.h.i.+ps..huh?”

He returned my thoughts with serious smile, as always. I don’t know well, but I am nailed not to tell my father extra things. Let’s leave it at there. Then I went to greet the leading aristocracy just as Jean-sama mentioned.

Inside

“Such a misfortune for Mikhail-sama to take responsibility for Vissel-samal”

Young woman told me,

“You were pa.s.sed to Mikhail after Vissel left you, poor thing"

There was also a young man who stressed to Angel that he is sorry .

Just before I could answer angrily to each of them, somehow Jean-sama and Mikhail silenced them with sharp words. Of course, there was an opinion 

“I am making a fool of my retainer”

and the two of them apologize earnestly, but when I said that “I am happy,” the other person stopped talking .

And what I was most excited about, were voices celebrating Mikhail ‘s curse removal even more of them than I expected. Many people favorably accepted marriage itself, such as

“It’s the power of love,”

“I will wish for Mikhail's future”,

“There is a lot of things to celebrate now” and so on.

Finally, the date of the ceremony was announced by Jean-sama, and the ball party concluded the evening, receiving the words of blessings and applause.

… King, was just sitting. Perhaps it was Jean’s worry not to let him talk.

I expected it though.

“I will move to a new mansion soon, so I will prepare everything to welcome you there.”

“Yeah, I’m looking forward to it.”

We didn’t have time to be alone but Mikhail finally talked, and gave me a kiss to the back of my hand.

We used to do a lot of things before, but I felt excited even with that little touch. He's cool, I’m happy, but still not enough.

“Don't make that face, very soon you will get it.”

“Yes.”

On the way back, I noticed that Vissel was watching me from a little distance. But I will not call out for him.

“Angel”

Ignoring his faint voice, I walk with my family. I don't want to show anger, and give food to new rumors around us. In the first place with all this eyes around, what will he say to me?

“Angel”

I can hear 'tsk' from my brother as distant voice became closer, chasing us from behind.　

My older brother looks like my father, doing this. Ha ha. Looking back to stop, there is my  former fiancée, a little thinner than before.

“Angel, really,”

“I can’t do anything for you. I’m happy,”

Just to say it, I return my heel and walk again. Actually there are things I think a lot about.

In the first place I have always liked Mikhail and I can say that now, thanks to me being thrown away by Vissel. He is also an older brother of Mikhail, and there is no resentment to him.

Therefore, it is good. I am happy. I also want to say that, but that is different from what my family is thinking. It was not a suitable act as a royalty, it is not a story that I can end with forgiveness without permission.

That’s why Jean-sama responded properly. That is no longer my talking out, and there is no word I will give to Vissel himself.

“Good performance”

That was my mother,but neither my father nor my older brother said anything else.

I will be Mikhail’s wife. Thank you for what you have done for me. And sorry. I will mute that line only in my mind.
