The Princess Who Was Married Off To The Prince of Slaughter In Place of Her Sister. While She Was Growing Fairies and Potatoes in The Garden of The Detached Palace, His Highness's Infatuation Began - Episode 4

At the border, the crown prince and soldiers from the neighboring country had come to greet them.

From inside the carriage, they looked very majestic, clad in armor and marching in formation.

It is said that the neighboring country suffers a lot from monster attacks.

It is said that the Crown Prince himself is leading from the front and fighting the monsters.

The title “Prince of Slaughter” was probably given for such reasons.

My half-sister was scared, but I think it’s really cool that she took the lead in fighting to protect the people.

The soldier from the neighboring country opened the carriage door.

It seems they want me to get off the carriage and greet them.

I tried to descend gracefully like a princess, but my unfamiliar dress tripped me up, and I lost my balance.

I thought I was going to crash into the ground like this, but the ground isn’t getting any closer at all.

I thought Fer was pulling me, so I looked back, but he was nowhere to be seen.

It took quite a long time to realize that someone had been supporting me from the front.

When I looked up, I met the gaze of fiery red eyes.

Jet-black hair, elongated crimson eyes, a high nose, and a well-defined face.

He, who is a head taller than me, is probably the crown prince of the neighboring country, Leonis Wolfheart.

“I apologize for the inconvenience.”

Realizing I was in his arms, I quickly pulled away.

“Ali, are you okay?? Did you get hurt?”

I nod in response to Fer, who rushed over out of concern.

Everyone can’t see Fer, and they can’t hear his voice either, so I can’t respond.

Turning to the Crown Prince, she performs a lady’s bow.

“I apologize for the earlier embarrassment. My name is Ariaberta Noblegrant, the first princess of the Noblegrant Kingdom. I believe you are His Highness Leonis of the Wolfheart Kingdom. Thank you for coming all the way to the border to greet us. I am not very capable, but I look forward to working with you.”

When I greeted them, a murmur spread through the crowd.

The crown prince in front of me is also looking at my face with a puzzled expression.

Was my way of greeting that bad?

Although I received a complete education in being a lady from my mother, I hadn’t done a curtsy in years, so it might have become awkward.

“Why is it the first princess…?”

“Isn’t the second princess supposed to be getting married?”

“The first princess, right? The one rumored to be extravagant and violent…”

“Instead of the second princess, renowned for her beauty, the infamous first princess is the one coming to marry into our family…”

“Isn’t this a scam…?”

It seems that the soldiers of the Wolfheart Kingdom are not murmuring about the way I greet them, but rather about my very presence.

It seems that the people of the neighboring country thought my younger sister was coming to marry.

It’s only natural for there to be this kind of reaction since I, the one with a bad reputation, have come to marry into the family, instead of the well-loved and highly regarded younger sister of the king and the people.

Even so, my bad reputation has reached neighboring countries.

It’s going to be difficult to live in this country for a long time from now on.

“Be quiet!”

The crown prince reprimanded those soldiers.

“King Noble Grant said, ‘I will marry off my daughter.’ The first princess is also the king’s daughter. There is no lie. We just misunderstood on our own.”

It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is someone who understands.

“My subordinate was rude. My name is Leonis Wolfheart, the crown prince of this country. I look forward to your continued support.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

I took the hand extended by the Crown Prince and shook hands.

With him, I feel like we could get along well.

At that moment, the sound of a horn echoed from the forest, and the words “It’s a monster!!” rang out.

A monster…?!

I had heard that there were many monsters in the neighboring country, but I never expected them to come this close…!

I didn’t see that coming!

“Put Princess Ariaberta in the carriage! You guard the carriage! The rest of you, take your positions!! We’re going to face the monsters!!”

As soon as he said it, the crown prince entrusted me to the nearby soldier and dashed off towards the forest.

“The princess is in the carriage!”

I searched for Fel’s figure.

Even if the monster disappears, Fer’s figure might still be visible.

“Fel…!”

When I shouted quietly, I heard a voice from behind.

“I’m right here. You don’t have to worry because I’m close by.”

I felt relieved to hear Fel’s voice.

As soon as I returned to the carriage, the door was closed.

I wanted to see what was happening outside the window, but the maid Janet closed the curtains on me.

“I hate it! This barbaric country! I want to go home soon! Why do I have to come to a place like this?!”

Janet was muttering complaints while holding her trembling body.

From outside, you can hear the dying screams of monsters, like “Ugyahhh!!” and “Gwaaaaaaaah!”

I placed Fer on my lap and hugged him tightly. I felt strangely calm while holding him.

To those who couldn’t see Fel, it might have looked like they were hugging an empty space.

The curtains are drawn, and Janet, who is riding along, has her eyes closed the whole time, so it probably won’t seem suspicious.

Please, may His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the soldiers be safe.

After a while, the outside became quiet, and eventually, the soldiers raised their victory cries.

Realizing that we had defeated the monster, I let out a sigh of relief.

Gently opening the curtain, I peek outside to see what’s going on.

I saw the figure of His Highness the Crown Prince approaching us.

I couldn’t tell if it was the monster’s bl00d or his own, but he was covered in bl00d from head to toe.

Oh no, if you’re injured, we need to get you treated…

When I thought that…

“Ahh!” Janet screamed, “Monster!!” and closed the curtains.

From his position, he might not have been able to see Janet.

If that were the case, they would have thought that I was the one who screamed and shouted “monster.”

Just before the curtain closed, I made eye contact with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

He had very sad-looking eyes.
