Vol. 1 Chapter 1.1 - I,the arrogant princess,apologize for the first time(1)

“Princess Justine de Ermelines Lautches. I’m afraid I’m going to have to rescind my engagement to you.”

A young man with sparkling silver hair and icy blue eyes sits unhappily on a chair in the center of the head of the family room. He is only 19 years old, which is unusually young for the head of the family, but his education from an early age has given him an unmistakable power.

He is the frontier count of Ryuk Bartelink, who lost his parents and had to take over the throne at short notice.

His handsome face glared coldly and contemptuously at me, Princess Justine …….

The reason for his anger was probably that the fourth princess, who he had married off as a foil to the too-young frontiersman, was a ridiculous girl.

Her face was as beautiful as her reputation, but she was proud and ruthless, and she was a selfish girl who loved luxury more than anything else. At first, I tolerated her as she was probably upset with her new life, but she finally lost her patience when she told me that she had given the maid a serious burn because she didn’t like the temperature of the tea she had prepared.

(Yes. That’s why I was sent back to the capital right after this.)

Around me, the nobles and influential people who had been summoned by the head of the family to attend the meeting were looking at me with disappointed faces. This room, with its dark colors and heavy curtains, was as silent as a funeral. The last time I was here, I didn’t care about the heavy atmosphere, I was so happy to be going back to the capital that I didn’t even think about what would happen next.

(I mean, I didn’t give the maid any serious burns in the first place!)

At the time, I was angry at the sudden offer of engagement to a faraway land. I was really throwing myself at the idea of living in the middle of nowhere, lamenting and not taking it seriously.
But now it’s different.

But now it’s different. “Just for the record, you don’t have any objections, do you?”

Last time, I said I had no objection.

I didn’t care about the accusations and twisted misunderstandings that I didn’t remember. I’m not sure what to make of it.

But the right answer is not that. It is absolutely impossible for this engagement to be broken.

（In this one moment, everything would be decided!)

I kneeled down on the floor and hung my head.

This is the highest level of apology in the far east, “Dogeza style”!

“…, merciful Ryuk Bartelink! Please give one more chance to a fool like me! If you’re so kind as to give me a chance, I’ll do it with all my heart! No, with all my heart and soul! I will be loyal to you for the sake of Bartelink! I apologize for everything I’ve done so far, so please, please, please don’t break off our engagement!

Haa, haa, haa.

I’m not sure what to make of this.

（I’ve done it! I’ve done it! I’ve never done anything like this before in my life, but I think I said it pretty well, don’t you?)
