Chapter 095: Matchmaking?
Settings
A little while ago, about an hour after I said “Seriously?” to the King and fell to my knees…
A woman and I were drinking tea in a room of the royal castle.
“Greetings, my name is Patrick von Snake.” Pat
“I am Sonalis Mental.” Sona
Her self-introduction is simple.
“So, why me? I’m not handsome man nor do I come from a good family. In fact, my family recently participated in a rebellion. I then had to brutally execute them on behalf of the Kingdom. Plus, I’m seemingly cursed with a lack of presence.” Pat
“I saw Patrick for the first time at the ceremony after the rebellion. I was eating alone at a table near the end. Even though it was a ceremony with so many people around, one person stood out to me.” Sona
I think about the situation. I wasn’t in battle at the time, so I wasn’t trying to conceal my presence. However, I was nervous around so many important people, so I should have been trying to fade into the background.
How did she find me?
“You looked so forlorn, but when you met the Canaan family, you smiled like a boy…” Sona
I guess I did perk up at that point, the only house I’m close to is the Canaan family.
“A few days after that, in the castle courtyard, I bumped into you on purpose, but you just apologized like it was your fault. All to a girl dressed like a princess. When you took my hand, my heart started to race and I almost collapsed.” Sona
I was definitely looking at my bracelet, so I didn’t notice her.
I guess love is blind, just like they say.
“I’m sure you’ve heard about me from His Majesty, but I have a somewhat twisted personality. Is that fine with you?” Pat
“I can’t find anybody else interesting like you. I trust my instincts!” Sona
I looked into her eyes and wondered if this was fine.
If she didn’t like me, she could easily cancel the engagement.
“Then, I look forward to being with you.” Pat bowed his head
“Yes, I’m a bit of an odd princess, but it’s nice to be with you.” Sona bowed her head in response
Hmm? You’re an eccentric princess? Who am I now entangled with?
