Reborn as the Princess' Knight (GL)

Chapter 74: Final Plan (II).

Kein's POV

"In the meantime while we're out on adventuring what will you two do?" I turn to the two princesses who have turned quiet and they both hummed thinking of an answer.

"Well... If you remember Kein, Prince Alexanderk told us how it's his turn to visit next?" (Rose) tells me and I nod remembering that part of his words when we talked by his office.

"By the time you guys leave and venture off into the demon lands my father will most likely be hosting a ball in honor of my engagement with the Winshern prince."

A ball?

...

I grit my teeth feeling a little irritated, if it's a BALL I wouldn't be able to see Rose is her beautiful dress that she'll be wearing!

We couldn't even have matching sets with Vivienne! Just us three!

"That sounds fun... I'm sure my cousin will be keeping her hands to herself." Is what I would like to say, and I know that edge lord crossdressing prince would have better things to do than hit on someone who likes someone else already.

"In my case since I won't be able to participate in any events, I'll just be in my room doing paperwork." (Princess Cecilia) smiles sadly looking over some of the papers she still has on the side.

This girl is scary... even if she's sick she's still going to do paperwork?

"It's all I can do, but it's better than nothing right?" she continues and I look at Kazari with a confused look.

"Apologies but my desire was greater than my responsibilities." (Kazari) tells me looking like she's about to cry.

"It is no use... whenever I would ask for her highness to stop working and rest she would err... persuade me not to bicker with her when it came to her work ethic."

Kazari stands up and takes the first princess' documents.

Princess Cecilia looked indifferent at first but then... she frowned looking away. Her face did a little hamster puff before facing her maid once more and tried reaching for the said documents in Kazari's hands. "Kazari if you don't stop you know what I'll do."

"Apologies, your highness. I wanted the two to see your state when I try to stop you from working." (Kazari) tells the first princess and gives her back the documents she was working on before.

It was kind of cute. Yeah, I understood Kazari's point of view and gave her a thumbs up for giving me an idea on what to do with Rose next time.

"I would wish you safely on the ball. I'm not worried about the crossdressing prince, but it's another thing for his older brother." I remembered the older prince that made me draw my blade over at the royal family dinner.

His smile and words... even with such a pretty and innocent face it doesn't match his personality. I should've gotten a punch in when I had the chance. "I don't like him, please steer clear of him or better yet, have one of your spies keep an eye out for him."

I told Cecilia what happened and what kind of words he said at the dinner table, it made her not like him at all. "I see... Thank you for your input. Rosarie you'll be the head planner for the ball and prepare everything that would entertain our guests."

"I suggest taking advantage of the seating arrangement."

The seating arrangement.

In a ballroom full of nobles, the seating arrangement would really create the mood of the entire room.

"Remember to think of it as chess, the people are the pieces and we'll be playing their little game." (Princess Cecilia) giggles to herself and it sounded with bad intent.

As if without a care she takes another biscuit in her hands and takes a mouthful of bite looking toward us three. "My life may be on the line but let's have some fun now, shall we?"

I turned to Rose and gave a concerned look.

Rose on the other hand looking so used to her older sister's shenanigan gave me an apologetic look. Her maid on the other hand, Kazari looked so proud and happy that the first princess was already thinking of schemes she could do over at the ball.

I could never understand how the first princess' mind worked but all I know is that I don't want to ever get on her bad side. I would be met with a bad ending if I ever get on her bad side.

...

After the meeting and a few more talks where Kazari will be meeting up with the party to get the cure.

Kein said her goodbye to the princesses, Kazari went on to provide her a portal to a route that will be leading her back to the Hills estate. The green portal glowed, on the balcony where the girl had parked Vanilla looking so impatient to go home.

"I will see you in three days' time in your estate, please be safe on your journey back home." (Kazari) gave a slight nod and Kein smiled widely before telling her thanks.

"Thank you, Kazari. I'm glad we got to know each other a bit before heading off to travel. Well! See you in three days early in the morning!" (Kein) waved her goodbyes especially to her lover before riding onto her steed and going inside the portal.

Rose sighs looking at the closed portal, disappearing. It seems that the girl has not even gone for a while. The princess is already missing her oh so terribly.

"Did you enjoy being with her once more, little sister of mine?"

Rosarie walks back inside her older sister's room and laughs, she decides to sit down bouncing a little from the soft bedsheets of her bed. "I was not expecting... so many emotions coming back being with her again and spending the night with her."

Princess Cecilia smiles feeling satisfied that her plans were becoming rather fruitful. Repaying her kindness and love, she knows that her little sister deserves more of it but before they could get up to their gossiping session she needed to have her maid fetch another plate of biscuits.

"Kazari... please get a refill for the biscuits on the tray. Do take your time, my sister and I will take a while on our private talk." The first princess orders her maid who just got inside the room as well but she didn't question her request.

It was actually a code for 'Don't disturb us and take your time on fetching the cookies'. "Certainly, your highness. I won't return for half an hour."

"Mm... Do rest, you've been using your magic for a while. I'll also rest after this so please go on now." (Princess Cecilia) faintly winks at her and Kazari quickly takes the tray with a flustered look on her face.

Kazari's hastily scurrying walk caught Rosarie's attention, she actually wanted to have the maid listen in on their talk because she plans on pointing the attention to the slow couple. "Must she go? We can talk while the person you like hears about your preferences too."

"Shush, the last time that happened she didn't dare look me in the eye ever since. Did you know what kind of things I needed to do to get her to look at me the same as before?" (Princess Cecilia) pokes Rose's nose and they both laugh together so freely.

"Hearing my lustful urges certainly helped us getting closer with one another, I could drag the back of her free hand when she would pour me tea." The first princess felt giddy and was glad that her little sister was there to keep her company with all the love talk.

"We certainly love teasing the people we like, don't we?" (Rose) smiles holding Princess Cecilia's hands.

"Must be a twin thing." (Princess Cecilia) looks over at their hands being intertwined. It has been a while since they've had a family moment like this.

"Or both of our girlfriends are just cute to tease." (Rose) giggles thinking of how adorable her girlfriend was.

"In my defense, Kazari is cuter and way more of a catch than the traveling artist."

"Cecilia please we're having a moment don't make this into a competition."

The two talked more about their romantic lives and gushed how cute their girlfriends were some more.

The blonde dog and the black cat.

Rosarie was even slipping in some stuff on how her first time was rather amazing indeed, followed by her older sister's complaints on plans on how she'll make Kazari want her even more.

When it was time for Rose to go, Kazari went in and cleaned up everything before giving back the real papers she took.

"Your letters of farewells, your highness." (Kazari) with the sad tone of her voice, she gives back these letters to the first princess. "I... took them and swapped them out with one of your random stack of papers so the second princess won't be able to see."

Princess Cecilia sighed a breath of relief.

"Thank you, I have been preparing to write everyone I've been acquainted with a letter of apology and thanks just in case I don't make it." (Princess Cecilia) holds the letters in her hands rereading the letters she wrote.

"I have one for you too but I made sure it's some place where you'll find it... in the perfect moment and the perfect time when you need it." she reaches out to hold Kazari by the hand rubbing the palm of it so softly and affectionately kissing the back of it.

"When you find it and when you're sad... always remember to read it, I guarantee you'll immediately smile and forget all of your problems."
