「What do you mean?」

I was puzzled, and asked His Majesty back.

「You’re unusually blunt, Marsha.」

It’s not like you. Or do I dare not think? And His Majesty raises one eyebrow.

「Once the『New Pillow Ceremony,』is over, we will eventually have children. I need you to stay married for when that happens.」

What it takes to be married.

「…Am I correct in interpreting that as making me the nanny?」

「Correct.」

It’s not that I didn’t think about it. It’s not that I didn’t want to be a nanny. But I didn’t think I was qualified to have children and be a nanny.

「With all due respect, Your Majesty, we have already selected a nanny. I am sure you will find someone suitable, if not me.」

「It’s not just a matter of being a nanny.」

His Majesty’s gaze changes from that of a familiar one to that of a king.

「Marsha, you will be the nanny of my heir.」

This is a decision. His Majesty said.

I am grateful for your kind words. The fact that I am being wished to be the nanny of the heir is synonymous with having the trust of Their Majesties.

「But… I am…」

I was at a loss for words.

「I know you do not want to marry Colden. Then isn’t it about time to call off the engagement?」

I understand what you are saying, Your Majesty.

The reason why I have not broken off the engagement with a lark until now is not only because Raul refuses to do so. I didn’t file for a termination of engagement, partly because I misjudged the timing of the termination, but also because it was convenient for me. Once Myra-sama gives birth to a child, there will be no need for that. No, I was the one who pretended not to see it, even though the need for it had already disappeared long ago.

But I’m getting married now? And with whom?

I hurriedly erased the person who popped into my head.

「Your Majesty, surely there is no more point in me continuing my engagement with that one. However, marriage is only possible when there is a partner. And even if you ask me to have a baby, it won’t be ready in time even if I start looking for a partner now.」

「Giving milk is not the only job of a nanny. It’s also to educate the heirs. I don’t think there is anyone more qualified than you in that regard.」

That is because we have a track record of raising Myra-sama as a queen.

What could be more trustworthy than this?

The king of this country has said so much that he is willing to entrust me with a part of the future of this country.

「If you want a partner, I can at least find you a suitable one.」

Think of it as a means to serve Their Majesties. Marriage is a means to serve this country as a nanny. If His Majesty found me a partner, I am sure that I can trust him. It is also convenient for me, since it is a partner who is supposed to continue serving Myra-sama. Even up to now, we have been working with a split workload, so we should be happy to accept the job.

「But…」

I couldn’t take the story honestly, even though I thought so in my head.

I felt the dark things that I had been keeping in the back of my mind slowly welling up.

If I, a latecomer, can get married at His Majesty’s suggestion, it must be a lucky thing, because at 25 years of age, there are infinitely fewer people who will take me.

「If there’s a guy you like, tell me. I’ll do something about it.」

The ooze slowly begins to slowly and slowly start to tighten up something.

I am a woman who wasn’t chosen. A woman, who hasn’t been chosen. And a woman who has refused to marry without love. How ironic that I, in turn, would ask my partner to do so in the name of the king’s order.

「No one likes me, sir.」

「Then what’s the problem?」

If you ask me what the problem is, it is my heart. I’m too weak to answer that as a reason to refuse.

I let my gaze wander, searching for the words to convey it well, and in an instant my mind went blank.

「…!」

What came into my view was my Lord about to do something extraordinary.

「Worst case scenario, it doesn’t matter if the other party is Colden. In that case, he would have to leave the Kingsguard and say,「I can’t accept this, Myra-sama」…Myra, what are you doing?」

Her Majesty dripping tea. And everyone there looked up to see Myra-sama tilting the cup from above her head.

「Oh my god…」

You’ve got me, Myra-samaaaaa!!!!!
