The Villainess Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride (hostage) in a Former Enemy Country
Chapter 102.2Letting the Order’s side violate it would make Arnold move easier. Perhaps he was aiming for that situation and proposed a meeting that was never going to happen.
On top of that, there is a justification attached to His Highness Arnold’s action. ―― As long as he is willing to help Myria-sama…!
In order to protect the Maiden Priestess from the Order.
As long as such justice exists, believers of the world would side with Arnold.
His Highness is kind… That’s why he can behave in such an outrageous manner to protect something.
He must be helping Myria to fulfill Rishe’s wishes.
――That was exactly what he was going to do, by any means necessary.
“I got to go…”
They must help Myria.

She didn’t want to think that it was a mistake asking him for help, but she was bitterly disappointed about her thoughtlessness.
Leo’s small body stood in front of Rishe when she tried to hurry ahead.
“No. Don’t go any closer to the cathedral.”
“Leo…”
“I’m warning you because I can’t leave you alone for some reason. I won’t let you off the hook if you’re on Arnold Hein’s side.”
“…”
Rishe clasped her hands together, brimming with melancholy.
“I can’t be on His Highness Arnold’s side.”
“!”
“Thanks for your concern, Leo…But I’m sorry.”
She told him frankly.
“There are things I have to do beside that person, even if it means making an enemy of him.”
“Please excuse me…!”
The small figure leaped in front of Rishe when she attempted another run.
He was about to grab her wrist, but Rishe swiftly dodged it. She took a step backwards, trying to get enough distance from him to regulate her breathing.
“!”
Leo immediately shortened the distance between them.
Fast!
Before he even had time to blink, Leo reached for her collar. The moment he grabbed her dress, he spun around and fended him off.

‘You’re a really terrible substitute. If you keep this on, they’ll know you’re not the real Crown Princess.”
“Are you done pretending to be a normal child?”
“It’s useless against you. You’re watching people’s movements and paying attention to their aspects shouldn’t be paid attention to!”
He closed the distance between them at once, but she dodged just in time.
Leo didn’t stop his pursuit. He almost grabbed Rishe’s arm, but as soon as she avoided it, he swung his foot toward her. Just as Rishe dodged it and spun around, he attacked anew.
Hu, no time to breathe.
Come to think of it, Rishe’s adversaries had always been bigger than her.
She has never had to deal with someone smaller than herself like Leo. Perhaps that was the reason she had always been at the mercy of others.
This agility. If you are distracted in the slightest. If you are distracted in the slightest, you’d be apprehended!
She struck, dodged, and played with her physique to keep him at bay.
She looked for an opening to see if she could run past Leo, but he stepped in at that moment. Leo’s still thin, pliant arm loomed over Rishe, ready to capture her.
