Chapter 6 – Love at First Sight
Almost half a day has pa.s.sed since I sent out Fran .
Though it worries little, I can do nothing but hope .
Regretfully, the only thing we could do right now is wait for the good news .
“Allan-sama, would you like another cup?”
Cecil took the empty cup placed in front of me .
“I’ll have another . How is Effie?”
I asked for the other companion of ours .
“If it’s her, she has gone crazy for some reason about some play with the innkeeper here”
“Oh, that one……Well, it’s better than going out without having a goal in mind”
Though the old innkeeper was surprised for the fact that I was an elf, when he saw Effie, he went at loss for words .
Here is a rarer being than an elf, a spirit .
And those two right now, are going crazy about a chess-like game .
They should have been done around noon, but was it still going on?
“It looks like you’ve been abandoned after losing to you, Allan-sama . ”
“I’m troubled that I couldn’t refute about that”
I was also invited to have a match with them, in which I easily won over them .
Though it’s vexing for them, I actually had an intensive training on this by my father .
That ‘going easy on someone’ didn’t fit in my dictionary anymore .
While I was lost in thoughts, someone knocked the door .
“Yes, who is it”
“Cecil, it’s me”
“Fran-san! I’m going to open it now”
As soon as Cecil opened the door, there revealed the figure of Fran as I saw her in the morning .
“Thanks for the good work, Fran . You can rest for the time being . ”
I urged her to sit on a chair, but she shook her head side to side .
“Before that, I have a child that I want to introduce to you first”
“A child you want to introduce?”
“Yes . Helena, you can come in”
As she gave the signal, a girl appeared from the other side of the door .
She stood at the entrance, then lowered her head to us .
“N-nice to meet you! My name is Helena……”
She introduced up to that point……and stopped there .
After landing her eyes on me, she stared, wide eyed .
“Wow……it’s really like the prince of my dreams……”
We couldn’t help but smile wryly at her reaction .
“Well, I’m a real prince though”
“Uwaa, it talked!”
“Heyhey, I’m a genuine elf you know . Of course I could eat and talk”
“Ah! I-I’m sorry…… I thought you were a statue for a moment”
“Quite an amusing one, this kid”
I stood up and went in front of Helena .
“I’m Allan . Prince of the Country of Elves . Nice to meet you, milady . I thank the heavens above to be able to meet such a wonderful woman today”
After that, I knelt, took her hand and kissed it .
Though that was pretty theatrical, seeing Helena with her eyes sparkling made me want to try something from her expectations .
But somehow, it feels like a shoujo manga though……
“Hawaaa……”
Helena was…… quite blown away, or so it would seem .
“An Elf Prince…… a real Elven Prince……”
“O oi, are you alright?”
“Eh? Ah yes! I’m sorry!”
“It’s okay . For now, please sit next to Fran”
Helena walked to Fran with a tense gait .
After confirming it, I returned to my seat .
I immediately drew the main subject .
“So, Fran . Is Helena the key?”
“Yes, I think so . If it works well, you may meet the king in a few days . ”
“To that extent …”
If you look at the security of this town, the area around the king should be more strictly guarded .
To be able to receive an audience smoothly like this is pretty remarkable .
However, no matter how I look at Helena’s appearance, she didn’t give a n.o.ble-like vibe at all .
“Uhm, I’m sorry but, I couldn’t understand well what you are saying”
Helena raised her hand with a question .
“Oh yeah . We have to explain the issue yet to Helena . ”
That being said, I told Helena the purpose of the trip and the circ.u.mstances leading up to this point .
“… Amazing, world peace! Really like a fairy tale!”
“There will be enemies and obstacles that will stand before us if it’s a fairy tale, so I don’t really want it to appear like one, especially in front of me . ”
“I agree . I also don’t want my head to be bitten of by some kind of dragon”
I and Helena nodded mutually .
Well, this is better than an a.s.sa.s.sin aiming at the branch, or a princess who has quite the circ.u.mstances behind her .
“And, to exchange branches of the King Tree, I need to meet with the King here-”
“We would like Helena to cooperate with that . ”
“Oh, I understand!”
Helena immediately agreed to the words of me and Fran .
“Really? But I think I haven’t explained it further yet . ”
It seems that Fran who was the one who invited her was also surprised by this .
“It’s amazing to be able to cooperate with the elves, and moreover the prince itself! I will do it!”
Helena’s eyes shone brightly as ever .
“So, Fran-oneesan . What should I do?”
“Well, that’s …”
Fran thought about it .
“Nevertheless, an oneesan, huh”
To the extent that the figure that was closing her heart for a while ago seemed to be a lie .
“Prince, please stop laughing”
“Who’s laughing here? Isn’t it good, oneesan?”
“Geez……”
Oh, Fran threw a tantrum .
“Ah, uhmm……”
“Yes, what is it?”
“Can I call Prince-sama oniisan too?”
“So it leads to this, huh . Well, because we will be companions from now on, you can call me oniisan or oniichan or aniki or whatever you like”
To tell the truth, I was an only child, so I never had the experience of having brothers and sisters .
Calling me like this, it felt quite comfortable .
As I thought about that, the door was suddenly opened .
Allan-kun, let’s have a match again!”
Thus entered Effie .
In my hand was a p.a.w.n of the board game .
Well, it seems that the special training with my father has finally kicked in once again .
“If I win, I’m allowed to monopolize you tonight . Deal?”
“That was a quite one-sided deal, however”
“My my, do you dislike me now?”
“Of course not”
Cecil, Fran, and Effie . I’m happy to be partnered with anyone of them .
“Uhm, what does that mean?”
Fran asked Helena, who seem to not understand the situation .
“If you win the game, you can be alone with the prince . ”
“Eh…… wait… eeeeeeeh!?”
“Ara, does the child over there also want to partic.i.p.ate?”
“No, Helena is …”
“I-It’s my first time, so if Onii-san is okay with it……”
When I was about to stop her, the person in question suddenly blurted that out of the blue .
“Ufufufufu, so, what will you do, Allan-kun?”
“Onii-san……”
Don’t tell me, Helena’s actions until now is because……
Did she fell in love at first sight? With me?”
Well, I’m happy about G.o.d’s will turning in my favor, and I don’t have any reason to decline either .
“I understand . I will take responsibility if anything happens”
When I told her that, she happily accepted it .
