I’m Not Sorry But The Prince Will Marry Me Anyway

"You actually did it."

"Protecting the Blue Atrium in a way befitting a ruler. Not only the count’s report but also the testimonies of the soldiers who fought alongside you and the young duke’s praise all support that fact."

"……."

"This time, you’re finally receiving the reward for all your silent efforts."

Of course, objectively speaking, not everyone is given such an opportunity for a great reward—

But Tristan even put his life on the line.@@novelbin@@

Compared to those privileged kids who land mid-level management positions straight out of their first job thanks to their parents, then turn around and say, “Do you even know how scary it was to come down from the parachute? I did it! Stop whining about how hard life is, you poor folks!”—Tristan is overwhelmingly different.

"The people Your Highness should think about aren’t just Rick. Don’t let the voices of the soldiers who supported you and the young duke who fought beside you be buried beneath your emotions."

"……."

"Next time… in front of people, please smile."

I had said everything I needed to.

Maybe it was because I had uttered something so embarrassingly sentimental, but my face suddenly felt hot.

Ah, seriously. First, I went along with all that smiling and playing nice in front of my future in-laws, and now I’ve said all sorts of things completely against my nature today!

The typical shame and regret of an introvert who had overdrawn their social energy for several years all at once came crashing down.

I couldn’t even bring myself to look at Tristan’s face.

Of course, I had already abandoned any expectations of a good reaction. This was Tristan, after all.
