Chapter 143: Princess Olivia

The meeting ended, and Douglas and the others left the room.

Now, only Klaus, King Kings IV, and Neige remained in the room, and King Kings IV played with Neige.

“Good, good, you’re really cute.”

“Kyukyukyu.”

Neige wriggled in King Kings IV’s arms, but not as if it disliked it—instead, it acted spoiled, and that touched a chord, so King Kings IV wore a soft, indulgent face.

“Um…”

When Klaus spoke up, he cleared his throat with a cough.

“I think she’ll be here any minute now…”

Just then, the door opened, and one person entered.

“Father, did you call for me?”

The one who entered was a woman.

She wore a pure white dress that exposed her shoulders and a tiara, and she looked about Klaus’s age…

She had a serious expression on her face and called King Kings IV “Father.”

“Sorry about this, Olivia.”

“No, if it’s a royal command, there’s no issue.”

She bowed her head to King Kings IV’s words.

“Let me introduce her. My daughter, Olivia.”

“Pleased to meet you. I am the First Princess, Olivia.”

Princess Olivia pinched her skirt and performed an elegant curtsy.

“I am Klaus.”

“You are… that…?”

She stared at Klaus intently. Klaus often forgot because he dealt with the king regularly, but royalty rarely appeared in public. Nicholas had told him that Princess Olivia took her duties seriously, but he had not expected to meet her face-to-face.

“So, what is the purpose of this?”

Princess Olivia asked while looking at Klaus, wondering why she had been summoned here.

Klaus did not know well either, so he had no answer, but King Kings IV provided one.

“We’ve decided to make this Klaus a noble.”

They planned to announce it formally after the new year, but apparently, he intended to tell Princess Olivia in advance.

“…Could it be an engagement?”

“Eng… engagement?!”

Klaus felt shocked by the word from her mouth. He thought such a possibility might exist.

“Hmm, if you two wish it, I wouldn’t mind permitting it?”

“I have no objection.”

Princess Olivia answered King Kings IV’s words right away. Since her expression did not change at all, Klaus could not tell how serious she was.

“…We just met, right?”

Klaus asked because he wanted to know her true intentions.

“I know that Klaus is an outstanding person who brings benefits to the country. As a princess, I would not refuse to marry such a man.”

“…Um.”

She seemed serious, and Klaus did not know what to say in response…

“Well, we’ll discuss that matter another day.”

King Kings IV threw him a lifeline.

“I called you here for another reason.”

He stated the real purpose of introducing Princess Olivia to Klaus.

“I want you to teach this Klaus how to conduct himself as a noble.”

“Understood.”

Princess Olivia accepted it quite readily once again.

“Uh, still, I can’t trouble Your Highness with that…”

Klaus had thought he would learn from Douglas, Nicholas, or Xavier in their spare time, as before.

“Klaus holds a special position, so few people can be trusted with this. Your debut awaits in the spring next year, so I leave it to you?”

“Yes, leave it to me.”

Princess Olivia’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Klaus.

“I will educate you to become a splendid noble whom you can present anywhere without shame.”

At her words, Klaus paled, realizing something outrageous had happened.
