Chapter 19
I mull over the Queen’s words .
First love . First love . First love . First love . First love ――
First love?
The queen looks happily at me as I make myself appear stupid with my mouth hanging open .
“What do you mean?”
“You don’t remember, do you?”
The queen laughs elegantly . I’m confused . The maid quietly brews another cup of tea .
“The first time I met you was when you came here after the announcement you got engaged to Clark . ”
The queen drinks the tea brewed by her maid .
“On that day, we were only introducing ourselves to each other and you didn’t understand you were going to be the next queen, it was so cute . ”
Did you have fun …?
I tried to evoke a distant memory, but nothing came out .
“When you saw Clark, you said, 『Am I going to marry this cool person? YAAYYY!』 You were so adorable . Fun times . ”
The queen looks far away and yearns for the past .
“After that, you two took a walk in the courtyard together . There were two soldiers behind . ”
The queen smiled and said that it was cute having two beautiful kids walking in the courtyard and getting along .
“You tried to make a wreath from the flowers in the courtyard but failed . Then, you started crying and when Clark saw it, he remade the wreath and put it on your head . ”
The Queen’s head seems to have already flown to the memories of the past . She looks happy .
“Then Letty-chan stopped crying, stared at Clark with a smile, and then kissed him on the cheek . You jumped at him saying, 『I love Clark!!』Ah, that was cute . That was the first time I saw a person fall in love for the first time . “
“That’s …”
I wanted to say it’s not true, but I wasn’t sure .
The queen smiles broadly .
“That’s not to say you don’t like Clark at all . ”
The queen smiles at me, who is at a loss for words .
“Well, I’ve got the general idea, so let’s end this story here and eat this cake . It’s only sold in the capital of the neighbouring country . ”
She offered me the cake, so I thanked her for it .
To be honest, I couldn’t even taste the cake I was eating .
I was once again surrounded by the soldiers while walking .
When I was in an indescribable mood, I passed by the courtyard .
I asked the soldiers to go to the courtyard, albeit with some reluctance we arrived safely .

I sit down there, pick flowers and tie them . But it didn’t work out . Come to think of it, I’ve always been bad at this .
I gave up and threw the wreath .
As soon as I threw it, one of the soldiers sat next to me . Hey, even if I am only a temporary fiancée of the Crown Prince a soldier shouldn’t sit next to me, I thought to myself . The hand of the armour made a beautiful wreath . This man is too skillful .
While I was staring at it, the wreath was completed and he put it on my head .
“It suits you, Letty”
I was told in a low voice, and I was shocked .
“Cla . . Clark-sama!?”
“That’s right . ”
He quickly told who he was .
“Why are you dressed like a soldier…”
“I thought Letty might get tired so I changed it up a bit . ”
“No, I didn’t ask for that . ”
“I see . ”
When he said that, he took off his helmet .
“This is surprisingly stuffy . ”

“Oh, right …”
What a stupid thing to do when you have a nice face .
“I used to make flower crowns for you . ”
Clark-sama’s words has me shaken . It must have been because of what was said in the conversation with the Queen .
“I was very happy . The first person I fell in love with became my fiancée . You said you loved me very much . ”
Clark-sama smiles softly .
“But then the education for the princess started and you stopped smiling at me . I’m sorry but I couldn’t let go . ”
Clark-sama drew nearer .
“I’m sorry, but I still love you . ”
He has a serious face on and I immediately I felt my heart beat faster .
“Umm……”
“Umm?”
“I’ll be back!”
That said, I stand up . Clark-sama also stood up but with a sad face .
“Then, I’ll send you off . Oh, you guys can go . ”

Clark dismisses the soldiers .
The two of us walk silently down the path to my room . There is a crunching sound produced by his armour . At a glance, it’s probably because the helmet was heavy . Clark-sama, who was sweating a little, made my chest throb .
He shakes his head hard . Clark-sama looked strange, but I didn’t press on the matter .
When we get to the room, Clark-sama opens the door .
“Letty . ”
Clark-sama tried to reach for my cheek but withdrew in a hurry before touching it . Probably because I told him not to touch it before .
“… Have a good dream . ”
With a wistful look on his face, he closed the door .
“Madam, I’m preparing dinner . ”
Maria lays out a smile and a supper on the table without noticing my complicated look . I take a seat .
“I …”
“I?”
Maria repeats my words . I stabbed a fork in the steak meat .
“I will not be moved by his words!”
I screamed and Maria just tilted her head at me .
