My Dear Husband, Let's Keep It Business-Like! ~Countess Anastasia, Raised in The Downtown, Won't Give Up Her Way~ - Episode 66

“Ana! Are you okay!?”

“Anastasia!”

My husband and brother-in-law hurriedly rush over.

“I’m sorry… I couldn’t think of any other way. At this point, let’s just make it look like an accident and kill him.”

“No, seriously, that’s not okay!? Calm down, Anastasia! We can still manage somehow!”

“I can’t let Ana get her hands dirty. I’ll deliver the final blow myself.”

“Wait! Gene too! Calm down!? Ugh, what the heck is going on here!?”

Me, who has steeled myself with a strange resolve, my husband who is willing to take on the dirty work for such a wife, and my brother-in-law who is at his wit’s end with the two of us. It’s quite a chaos.

“Do you even understand what you’ve done…?”

Ignoring our commotion, His Highness stood up slowly with a look of fury on his face.

Look, he’s really angry! If we let him go back alive, it’ll be a disaster!!

“To the royal family! And to harm me, the crown prince, is an act of treason against the state!! Everyone from my entire clan to the servants will be executed!!”

From the prince, whose eyes are bloodshot and who is shouting, one can even sense madness.

“If you don’t like it, then get down on your knees right now and apologize to me! Grovel! Beg for forgiveness!!”

Oh… I’ve awakened a dangerous guy.

Watching His Highness ranting by himself, my head started to cool down a bit.

People tend to become calm when they see someone else more flustered than themselves, don’t they?

“Brother-in-law, don’t you think the guards will come rushing over if we keep shouting like this?”

“Huh? Ah, ah. The soundproofing in this room is quite solid, but if no one has come this far, it probably means the prince cleared the area…”

What is the Crown Prince really doing, even going so far as to dismiss everyone?

When I was deeply disappointed in my country’s crown prince, suddenly the person himself fell silent.

Huh? I thought, and when I looked, Phos, Kuntz, and Kaia were stuffing muffins into the prince’s mouth. They probably thought to silence him because he was being noisy. Good job.

As for the other prince, he is still in a state of distress after facing the terrifying experience of a muffin seemingly coming into his mouth on its own.

“Darling, if this continues, the count’s family will end up in a terrible situation. Ever since I decided to dive into high society, I have been prepared to get my hands dirty! …Let’s bury it.”

I hear the prince’s voice saying, “Mugoo! Mugoo!”

Shut up, just eat your muffin.

“That’s why, stay away from such dangerous ideas!? Just talking about this is already treason!”

My brother-in-law desperately tries to stop me and says that. It’s the right thing to do.

“That’s right! You’ve already committed treason! Apologize! Kneel! And strip!”

You finish your muffins quickly, don’t you?

What do you mean by taking advantage of the chaos to undress? Is that just low-class behavior?

“Phos, Kuntz, Kaia! Next, make it harder!”

“Roger!!!”

The spirits accurately select the hard-baked biscotti and begin stuffing them into His Highness’s mouth.

So, you guys were sneaking snacks, weren’t you?

“This is… Huh! What the heck is this? I can’t breathe, I can’t breathe!”

Well, I guess it would hurt if something hard was stuffed in there.

In an indescribable atmosphere, the three of us end up watching the prince’s disgraceful behavior.

My husband and I are slightly trembling at the absurdity of it, but my brother-in-law, who can’t see the spirits, has a face twisted in fear at the strangeness.

At that moment.

“Bufu, … wait, I can’t anymore, ahaha… I’ve been laughing too much since earlier, heh… my stomach hurts… ah, ahaha”

Suddenly, as if the door to the next room had opened, a woman staggered out, clutching her stomach.

Huh!? No way, there was someone over there!?

I was careless. No matter how much I trusted you, Alexander, I can’t believe I didn’t check if anyone was around before discussing something so confidential…!

“Oh, Alex’s stepsister… Pfft, she’s not calm and timid at all… That face of Prince Alphonse when he got thrown…

The woman, who had been laughing so hard she was gasping for breath, sat on the sofa, and after catching her breath, she tossed her glossy black hair back.

Wow! An exotic beauty!!

…but, it’s a face I’ve seen somewhere before.

Since my husband next to me suddenly bowed his head, I hurriedly took a curtsy position.

“Hmm? Ah, it’s fine, it’s fine. Please lift your head. This is an unofficial setting, after all.”

Encouraged by the exotic beauty, I hesitantly lift my face.

This beautiful woman, with her slightly upturned, determined-looking eyes, is indeed…

“Princess Carmilla…?”

The prince, who somehow managed to crush the biscotti, mutters in a daze.

“Yes, I am your fiancée, Carmilla. Prince Alphonse.”

The princess, who is smiling sweetly… her eyes are not smiling at all.

“Wh-why is Your Highness here in a place like this? No, more importantly, we should prepare a welcome banquet immediately… No, wait, since when have you been here… No way…”

The crown prince, losing his color more and more, becomes flustered.

It was the moment when the power balance in the room was completely overturned.

“It’s hard to talk with you standing over there. Why don’t you come over here and have a seat?”

“Ah, ah, thank you, Princess Carmilla. I will do as you say…”

As the Crown Prince said this and tried to sit next to Princess Carmilla, the princess quickly crossed her legs to block him.

The beautiful legs peeking through the slit of the tight long dress are dazzling.

“I refuse, Your Highness. This is not where you should be sitting, is it?”

Saying that, she swiftly took out a fan and, keeping it closed, tapped the floor lightly with it.

“Please, have a seat?”

This is an announcement of the end of His Highness the Crown Prince.
