ked into the washbasin, I found a towel soaked in water inside.
It was cool and comfortable.
In the same way as the iced tea Marie makes, she must have used magic to keep it cool.

“Rio, did you say you would be God’s bride? If you were to get engaged to the Crown Prince, would you be willing to do it?”

“Of course! But… It’d be lonely to leave Leon…”

Leon props his head up in his lion form and declares, “Wherever you go, I’ll follow.
So, rest assured, I’ll always be with you.”

“Yes!”

That night I slept wrapped in Leon’s mofumofu.

* * * * *

When I woke up in the morning, I saw Marie opening the curtains.
Looking at the bedside, Leon is sleeping comfortably.
I’m sure he stayed up until I fell asleep again.
I want to fluff, but let’s leave it alone for when he wakes up.

“Good morning, Young Lady.
How are you feeling?”

Perhaps she saw what happened, but Marie greeted me in the morning with her usual smile while opening the curtains on the canopy bed.

“Good morning, Marie.
I’m sorry for everything yesterday.
I couldn’t keep my promise to learn color schemes using ribbons from you.”

“You can study colors at any time.
Instead, make up with your parents.
They’ve been worried since Young Lady shut herself up in the room and didn’t leave your room till just recently.”

Is that so? By the way, Leon said the same thing.
I’m worried.
Let’s apologize at the breakfast table.
I’m going to the dining hall.
I have to apologize to my parents.”

“Yes.
I’m sure everyone will be seated early.”

I have a dance lesson in the morning today, so Marie puts me in a cute pink dress.

“What? Is it already morning? Please, tie me a ribbon, the same color as Rio.”

Leon, who seems to have been awakened by the noise, comes to me and sits on the mirror stand.

“Leon.
You can still sleep some more.
Didn’t you stay up late yesterday?”

“No.
I’ll eat rice together.
The rice here is delicious.”

“You’re such a glutton, Leon-sama.”

Marie picks up Leon and puts him on the mirror stand.
Marie’s face was loose when she picked him up.
It seems that Mofumofu defeated her.

When I finished brushing my hair, I saw Leon posing in the mirror with a ribbon that matches me as usual.

“So cute~”

My voice overlaps with Marie.
Well, anyway, mofumofu is justice!

When I entered the cafeteria, my parents were already seated.
But when they saw me, all three of them stood up all at once and came to me.

Seeing them like this, I felt guilty and bowed my head and finally managed to say, “Good morning… Father.
Mother.
Brother.
Yesterday… I’m sorry for worrying you.”

When I bowed down, three people hugged me tightly.

“It’s okay.
As long as Rio is alright, Dad will be happy.”

“Mother was wrong.
I spoke without thinking about Rio’s feelings… I’m sorry.”

“Rio, I was worried.”

It’s always been this way.
My family is so kind.
Yet, I never considered what would happen to my family if I declined my engagement.
This time, I can’t let my loved ones see the same things as in my previous life.

Even so, it’s painful.
The power of this hug is… *hyuk* too strong.

“Everyone, if you do that, Miss Katariona will suffocate.”

The head butler clears his throat with an “ahem”.
He stepped in at the right time.
As expected of Marie’s father.
Good job!

“Did I hurt you, Rio?”

“It’s okay.”

Thanks to the butler’s timely interference, the stunned family finally separated.

“Now, let’s have breakfast.
This morning I had Rio’s favorite strawberry dessert prepared.”

When I got to my seat, Leon sat in the chair next to me as usual.
It is a custom-made chair that Leon made eating in his animal form easier.

Leon eats the same as us.
Since it is not clear what the phantom beasts and holy beasts eat, it seems that other aristocrats are feeding them human food as well.

Leon said, “They are omnivores.” Well, Leon is a god.

Soup, salad, and bread.
After that, we have the intestinal filling and eggs separated on one plate.
Since he is 7 years old, he has a small stomach allowance.

I chatted with my parents as I ate the delicious breakfast.
Yesterday, because of a devil prince’s presence, the food didn’t taste nearly as good.

“The long-awaited dessert has arrived.”

The dessert was strawberry bavarois.
It has a sweet and sour strawberry scent.
The cream is fluffy and delicious, and the bavarois is exquisite.
When you take a bite, the strawberry flavor spreads throughout your mouth.

“Mhmm.
It’s delicious.”

“You can eat Father’s portion, too.”

“I can’t eat that much, Father.”

I suddenly telepathically contacted Leon.

“Leon.
Can strawberries grow in the forest?”

“Strawberries are also plants, so it should be possible.

Then it’s decided! Let’s create strawberry seedlings today.
Hopefully, I can eat strawberries all year round.
