Be My Princess: Joshua Lieben Main Story

Epilogue: Joshua's Feeling (1/2)

All Joshua POV

I have finally professed my feelings to Yumi.
I have done it before the people, in an unprecedented fashion.
Now in a relationship with her, I reel out our so-called 'first date'.
I feel such happiness to have seen her smile today.
And, after that...

We head back to the castle after our wonderful picnic.
The sun is sinking as Dres Van Manor comes into view.

(Not long now...)

I look carefully towards the gates.

(If I'm not mistaken...)

Then, as we pass a hedge, I suddenly see human figures.

(Oh...)

One, two...then as we move closer to the manor, many citizens are there, waving.

(I didn't expect so many...)

I feel slightly moved, and Yumi looks surprised at all the people.

[Yumi]
"Is there something going on today?"

[Me]
"No. Everyone wants to congratulate you"

[Yumi]
"Huh?"

[Me]
"Look at their faces. Not a single person denounces you. You were worried that you were fooling the people with a fake marriage, weren't you?"

I open the window and wave back at the people.
Spotting Yumi next to me, cries of 'Yumi, Princess!' fill the air.

[Yumi]
"...!"

Actually, I had asked Jan to do something before we left.
I told him when we would return and had him announce the schedule.

(I thought that if they knew, anyone who wanted to show their support may show up.
I thought we might have a few, but...
I never guessed so many would come)

Now, many people turn to Yumi.
And congratulate her.

[Yumi]
"Thank you, thank you"
