「There are even more gazes on my chest than yesterday…」
Quite a few of the male nobles’ eyes were directed at Lutte’s chest.
Maybe there is something called a big-breast tax for women, separate from the usual celebrity tax.
It must be troublesome for people with large chests though.
「To begin with, eating that much is the problem.」
「But…」
Thanks to tightening the corset around her waist, today’s Lutte looked even more voluminous than yesterday. The corset pushed the flesh of her belly upward, creating an even deeper cleavage than the day before.
She should blame herself for ending up with something so impressive.
The coronation was followed immediately by the wedding ceremony, and it had been decided to hold them consecutively.
Today, the second day, was the idiot prince’s wedding.
Unlike mine, there was no need to make it a national celebration, so only the main people involved, nobles, and ambassadors from various countries were attending. It was the same as my first wedding.
At that time, it had a strong performative element because Noie was marrying into the royal family, so it could not be helped.
Because of that, I had been forced to kiss her many times in front of the public.
Ahaha… At this point, just being watched is not enough to shake my emotions anymore.
「That is it.」
「Yes?」
「I want that idiot aniki to do something on the level of having sex in front of the public.」
「……」
Lutte’s face turned bright red and she fell silent.
Since the third son like me had to kiss so much, the second son should at least go that far.
As I thought that, a small figure came rushing toward us.
「It is Arguuusta～ onii-chan～」
「……tiny princess is full of energy as always.」
「Yeees～」
Perhaps because this was a celebratory yet not overly formal seat, Camille clung to me without hesitation.
It was hard to believe she was the same girl who had sat silently and obediently in her chair until the ceremony ended yesterday.
While I stroked her head affectionately, the tired-looking future king arrived.
「Sorry, Argusta. It seems the reaction from staying quiet all day yesterday has made her like this since morning.」
「She worked hard yesterday so it cannot be helped.」
「Yeees～」
The spoiled little princess found a new target sitting next to me.
「It is the big-breasted onee-chan～」
「What kind of treatment is that…?」
Camille, who sometimes visited my office, was on good terms with the members of Noie’s squad.
She gave them nicknames based on her own standards: Frea-san was sensei, Mische was small person, and Lutte was Big Person.
The size difference between Mische and Lutte… well, that is exactly it.
Camille switched from clinging to me to Lutte and buried her face in the generous twin hills, clearly enjoying herself.
The male nobles watching us all bent forward at the waist… that was probably why.
「Boing boing～」
「Yes yes. It is about to start soon.」
「Yeees～」
I watched Lutte fix her dress after handing the little princess over to onii-chan.
No matter how annoying she can be, the tiny princess is going to be the queen starting next year. There’s just no way to go against her.
I had no choice but to take Rutte outside for a moment… We headed to the waiting room so the maids could help her fix her dress.
「Even at someone else’s wedding, it really is tiring～」
-0-
The ceremony began in a solemn atmosphere.
During my own ceremony I was the center of attention so I had no room to look around at what was happening…… or rather I got married just a few days after arriving in this world. Thinking about it now it really is quite a crazy story.
「What is it Argusta?」
「No…… I was just remembering my own ceremony.」
「I see.」
Onii-chan sitting next to me gave a faint smile.
「When I calmly think about it everything was pretty reckless wasn’t it.」
「It certainly was.」
His smile turned into a wry one.
But being able to marry Noie was really fortunate.
Yeah. That’s right. I’m glad I came to this world.
『Thank you Noie. I love you.』
I whispered it softly enough that no one around could hear.
I thought I heard some incredibly loud explosion sound from far away but it must be my imagination. It is probably the celebratory cannon fire for the wedding.
A maid approached with silent sususususu footsteps.
She was the tall idiot prince’s personal maid.
「Argusta-sama.」
「What is it?」
「A small woman wearing a white dress is pressing a marriage proposal on a man of marriageable age who is attending the ceremony and it has caused a bit of a commotion.」
「So that murmuring I can hear from the back is because of that.」
「Yes.」
I had thought people who were bored with the ceremony were just chatting among themselves.
More importantly isn’t it pitiful that I the one taking care of 『that』 am being treated as her guardian?
「How should we handle it?」
「Wrap her up like a bamboo mat tie her up put a sign on her at the entrance that says 『Please take her freely』 and leave her there.」
「……Is that really okay?」
That might cause a little problem right?
「But also add a note saying 『Taking her home will be considered as accepting marriage. From Argusta.』 That should be fine.」
「Understood.」
Once again, she left with silent sususususu footsteps.
She really understands me…… that maid is amazing.
Meanwhile onii-chan next to me was chuckling quietly.
「Your surroundings are always so lively and fun.」
「They are. Personally, I would prefer peaceful days the most though.」
「That does seem rather difficult.」
It really is difficult.
I have quite a lot of problems after all.
On the stage the old man whose name I don’t really know finished his gracious words…… and then the king appeared.
I already know what is coming. I will have to listen to another long speech that I don’t really understand right?
In that case it might have been easier and better to be the main character even if it was like being put on display.
At least until I am called I could just wait in the waiting room.
