“………Lord Edward, I misunderstood the relationship between Lord Edward and Makoto. I’ve always thought that Makoto is a woman.”

Rachel started talking little by little.

Edward nodded and listened to the situation.

“I see. I should’ve told you properly. I’m sorry. Rachel.”

Lord Edward’s large hand gently stroked my head.

He stroked my head affectionately like he was consoling me.

“Besides, I had a misunderstanding that Lord Edward and Makoto were having a child.”

That’s right.

Even though it’s Rachel’s child, but they lied about it saying that it’s Makoto’s child, so she unintentionally misunderstood.

“Haha. That’s just not possible. I can’t love anyone but Rachel.”

“………Lord Edward.”

Lord Edward smiled gently at Rachel, I can’t believe that he is the crown prince that has a very coldhearted side to him.

“If we’ve cleared up the misunderstanding, Rachel, I wish that you would return back to your original body. I’d like to hug the real Rachel’s body, not your temporary body.”

Lord Edward refrained himself from doing anything other than hugging my shoulders, perhaps because the body that Rachel is currently inhabiting is mine.

I wonder if this is his consideration for Rachel.

“………No. I don’t want to go back.”

Rachel announced quietly after a few moments of silence.

Her words were certainly filled with power.

“Can I ask you the reason why?”

Lord Edward asked Rachel gently without losing his calm expression.

Rachel suddenly quivered and she looked downward to avert her gaze from Lord Edward.

“………I’m sure Lord Edward also knew about this. The position of the crown princess is too heavy for me. I don’t have the capacity to become………the crown princess.”

Quietly and clearly, Rachel looked at Lord Edward and told him.

Lord Edward quietly laid down his eyes and sighed after receiving Rachel’s words.

A brief silence enveloped both of them.

It was Lord Edward who opened his mouth first.

“I knew about it. I knew that Rachel was suffering under the pressure of being the crown princess, but I want Rachel to be by my side. You don’t have to be the crown princess. I just want you to be with me as my wife.”

Lord Edward spoke the words slowly and surely as if to persuade Rachel.

His words were filled with the desire to be by Rachel’s side, not as the crown prince, but as a man.

Rachel must have felt that as well. Large drops of tears poured out of her blinking eyes.

Then she slowly shook her head.

“……No. There should not be a decorative crown princess. Lord Edward should choose another consort who deserves that position. Until I have confirmed that, I will not go back to my original body.”
