Princess Irene is still a beautiful woman.
Her jet-black hair reaches down to her waist, and she is so beautiful that you''d think it reflected the light despite being black.
She''s not that tall, but she has a small face and is very stylish.
She''s beautiful with eyes, but not scary, and she''s beautiful with a smile on her face.
The last time I met her, she was wearing normal clothes so as not to stand out, but today is a formal occasion, so she''s wearing very luxurious and beautiful clothes.
She didn''t feel clothed like I did, and she wore it very elegantly.
''''It''s been a long time, Princess Irene. Thank you for the other day.''''
I hold out my hand and ask her to shake it like my father and the King of Ceredonia.
She shakes my hand in a flowing manner and greets me.
''''No, in times of trouble, it''s mutual. I''m glad the Kingdom of Begonia is safe.
It''s all thanks to the efforts of Princess Irene. I''m here today to thank you for that.
''Thank you for going out of your way. Have a good time.
We finished our greetings and let go of each other''s hands.
After all, she''s such a beautiful woman that people in this country and other countries have been talking about her.
If I didn''t have someone I liked, I might have fallen in love with her too.
I let go of her hand and move away from her for a bit, and I feel her eyes on me from next to her.
When I look over there, I see Alisa glaring at me with her half-eyed stare.
''What?''
No, not at all. I was just wondering why my eyes were twitching so much.
I don''t know what you''re talking about.
I really only had my eyes on Princess Irene''s open chest for a moment....
No, it can''t be helped, if you''re a man.
I''d rather feel guilty just because it was in my sight.......hardly anything.
I know that Alisa is concerned about her breasts being a bit small, so let''s not make a lame excuse.
Me and Princess Irene''s greeting is over, but it seems that my father and King Seredonia''s greeting is still going on.
Rather, they''re already chatting.
I want to greet the king too, and Princess Irene wants to greet my dad, but I can''t get in.
After a bit of awkward silence, she speaks to me fearfully.
''Well, Prince Christopher. I''d like to ask you one question...''''
What is it? Also, my name is long, so I''m fine with Christo.
''So, Prince Christo. Well.....
A little crisply, Princess Irene asked shyly.
''''Is Eric Aulin-sama not here today...?''''
I didn''t expect the question, and I couldn''t get the words out for a moment either.
I wondered if she misunderstood something when she saw me and started to hurriedly excuse herself.
His cheeks are red and he looks embarrassed.
''''I''m sorry, but Eric isn''t here as an escort today.
Oh, well I''m sorry to hear that.
Princess Irene became depressed, as if her panic was a lie.
But after a few seconds, she huffed and started to panic as if making excuses to me again.
"I''m sorry that I couldn''t thank Eric-sama properly for his previous thanks, but I never wanted to meet your highness...! Oh, no, I wanted to meet you, but that''s not what I meant...!
Princess Irene, are you all right? Please calm down.
I tell her to take a deep breath for now, as she starts to make excuses more terrific and faster than before.
She took a deep breath and her face turned even redder as she remembered the excuses she had said.
''''I''m sorry, my apologies for my disgusting appearance...!
No, I thought he looked very likeable.
Oh, I''m so embarrassed...!
I said, lightly teasing her, but she responded in a cute way.
But I''ve never seen Princess Irene in such a hurry before.
It was easy to see that Eric liked Princess Irene, but she seemed to be more than a little aware of it too.
But she said she doesn''t have Eric, but she already has him in this country.
I''m not lying, because it''s true that he''s not here as an escort.
He''s probably out of sight, but I believe he''s in the vicinity.
That''s the way it''s supposed to be.
I can''t talk about it here, but I''ll talk to you when I get to a place where my voice can''t leak outside.
........Alisa is staring at me again next to me.
''What?''
No, I''m glad you''re enjoying yourself.
Hi.
In a sulking mood...
No, you just talked a little bit with the princess of the country you''re familiar with.
And it''s about my best friend Eric, and we''re not even particularly close.
When I''m in the palace, I really don''t have much to talk about with women other than Arisa.
At most, it''s only the head maid or Viviana, the deputy leader who comes to teach me magic.
That''s why Alisa is quick to tease me when I''m talking to a woman I don''t know.
It''s probably because she doesn''t have that kind of tolerance.
Huh, she''s a pain in the ass.....
But is it a weakness that I fell in love with, that I think that kind of thing is cute too?
When I smiled thinly at that thought, Alisa''s eyes became even sharper.
''''Prince Christopher, what''s wrong?''''
''No, I just thought once again that my personal maid was jealous.
'' What are you saying...?
Alisa looks very surprised.
It''s been a long time since I''ve seen her like that, so I can''t help but laugh out loud.
''''Haha, bad bad. I was teasing you too much.''''
...you''ll be spanked when you get home.
Well, I hope not.
There''s nothing harsh about Alisa''s spankings, just embarrassing ones.
There was a spanking before where Alisa used my lap as a pillow for an hour and Alisa slept on it and stroked her head the whole time, but that was harsh.
''''I''m sorry, but are you two lovers?''''
'' Well, you know...
Oh no, I had forgotten that I was in front of Princess Irene.
She asked me that with very pure eyes, and I can''t answer her any questions.
It''s not a lover''s relationship, but it''s certainly not an ordinary squire and prince relationship either.
''''No, no, no, no, no, I, a squire, would have a lover''s relationship with Christo...!
Alisa is confused too, or maybe she''s calling me the way she always does.
Later, Princess Irene seemed to like that kind of talk, and she was questioned before her dads called her out.
