Tsuyokute New Saga (LN)

Join the discord:

Called by Kyle, Milena and the others returned to the room, where the previously stiff atmosphere had dissolved into something more warm and embracing. The four understood just what had transpired simply by indulging in this. Milena herself showed a bright smile as if this involved herself.

“Congratulations, Kyle-sama and Sakira-sama.”

“Th-Thank you very much…”

“…”

Sakira voiced her gratitude, but Kyle was too bashful, he simply bowed.

“Now then, I think we should discuss the future. Even if Sakira-sama doesn’t join a monastery, I think it would be better to abandon your right to the throne and leave the holy family. Because if the two of you were to have a child in the future, it would eventually be wrapped up in the question of being a successor for the Holy Ruler,” Milena spoke without much hesitation.

“A ch-child…”

Since Sakira assumed she’d be living the rest of her life in a monastery, she now must have imagined having a child with Kyle, as she blushed again.

“Of course? However, I’m sure that isn’t what Kyle-sama wishes for, and it would cause trouble for others, too, so you should probably be clear about that.”

Since Kyle didn’t want his future children to be wrapped up in any kind of struggle like that, he agreed.

“Yes…I think it’s better if I leave the public eye for now.”

Sakira was never all that attached to the throne, so she probably won’t have any regrets.

“Still, I’m glad. If Kyle had tried anything nasty with Sakira-san, I don’t know what I would have done,” said Seraia with a smile, but Kyle knew she was dead serious.

“Granted, Kyle-sama is actually an adult, but I felt like this being the big issue that it is, it would be better to have your family’s consent. So, I called Seraia-sama over.”

“Yes, and I thank you for that.”

Kyle knew that was just an excuse not to allow him any way of escaping. There, Sakira seemed to have finally composed herself a bit, as she faced Seraia and greeted her properly.

“U-Um, I may be inexperienced, but I hope you accept me.”

“Yes, of course… Okay, Kyle. You better make her happy, okay? Also, you should know what you have to do now, yeah?”

“Yes…”

He would have to take Sakira home with him and explain everything to Lieze and the others. Just thinking about it made Kyle’s stomach hurt, but he invited this himself.

From that point on, Kyle and Seraia left the room, leaving behind Milena and Sakira. The latter thanked the princess once more.

“Thank you…so very much. If not for your assistance…”

Originally, Sakira had planned on heading home to Sura, to never see Kyle again. However, Milena convinced Sakira to tell Kyle and gave her this final push. If not for her, Sakira might have spent the rest of her life in solitude, regretting it forever…just thinking about it that way, she had to thank Milena a million times.

“It’s perfectly fine. I just want you to be happy.”

“B-But…” Sakira just started tearing up, but Milena simply smiled.

“Well, if I ever find myself in need of help, I’d like to count on you,” Milena laughed, which allowed Sakira to smile again.

“Okay…Thank you very much.”

With a satisfied smile, Milena saw Sakira off.

“Milena-sama…Was this really the right thing to do?”

After the three had left the room, Ninos had to confirm her master’s motives. Kirlen seemed to be feeling the same way, looking closely at Milena. Milena was incredibly attached to Kyle. In the beginning, she just saw him as an object of interest. However, her close friends and aides knew that this was different now.

“Hee hee, of course Zilgus and I benefit from this. And I also want Sakira-sama to be happy.”

“Still…didn’t you wish to keep him all to yourself?”

Kirlen would rarely comment on Milena’s way of doing things, but when they returned to the room and saw the change in the mood, she had witnessed Milena grabbing the hem of her dress. That’s why she struggled to understand why Milena would only make her battle harder and increase her rivals.

“I could never do that. Those three women standing next to Kyle…I doubt they hate me, but I’m sure they are cautious of me.”

The time they had spent with Kyle was different than what Milena could offer. She couldn’t forcefully insert herself into that group, and it would only lead to Kyle taking his distance.

“That said…Sakira-sama is different,” Milena let out a snicker, which made a shiver run down Ninos’ spine.

Sakira is pure and has no ulterior motives, so she should be easily accepted by the three girls. And now that she felt indebted to Milena, this could be used to approach Kyle more. This was all Milena’s work to create an ally at Kyle’s side.

“At the very least, it’ll improve the situation by far compared to now. Since I can’t keep him to myself, I at least need to insert myself into his life. It’s important to start slow, yes?”

Listening to this, both Ninos and Kirlen desperately tried to ignore all the deviant undertones and just smiled at their lord.
