(MTL) It seems that the fiancée who is in love will be turned into a villainess

chapter 41

9. Treatment of Lars

　On the way back, I let Elizabeth ride in the carriage and returned to the royal palace. Elizabeth's cheeks are blushing like Miss Lisha before her, and she's looking down at her.
　The road from the school to the royal palace is short. While I was thinking about what to say to relieve my tension, the carriage slid into the gate.
　
　Lars for the first time in the morning... was grabbed by his mother's ankle.
　
"Could it be like this forever...?"
"It would be a problem if I could take my eyes off you and run away. I might go to Miss Elizabeth."
"That was a lot of trouble."
　
　Since he replies with a straight face, it's almost as if he'll take his words at face value, but the meaning behind it is ''I'm holding back from wanting to see Eri-tan, so why don't you make this guy feel delicious?'' Elizabeth, I'm sorry you don't have to bow.
　Next to Mother was Domenick-dono. "Since the morning...?", he muttered and looked at her mother's hand with a disgusted face, so it seems that the magic that seals Wrath has a high degree of difficulty.
　As expected of Aku... the queen who was called a miracle.
　
“So, does the fact that Domenick-dono is here mean something about Lars?”
　
　If it's just a report, I should talk to my father and finish.
　When I pointed the water at him, Lord Domenick straightened his back with a face that came to his senses.
　
"Yes, first of all, about the magic circle left in the Dorroid mansion..."
　
　According to Domenick-dono, the magic circle was meant to revive the evil dragon.
　However, in the first place, the Evil Dragon is strictly sealed, so a complete resurrection is impossible. It is nothing more than giving up both body and soul and turning yourself into a dragon with the miasma that barely leaked out.
　
"Both body and soul..."
　
　What it shows is that Lars can no longer return to being human.
　As a matter of fact, there is one being called an evil dragon in our country. That's all. If an evil dragon appears, it must be subjugated as a person who protects the country.
　
"However, summoning was not the only technique incorporated into the magic circle."

　Domenick raised his hand to face the pale Elizabeth. We're not done yet.
　A deep wrinkle formed between Domenick-dono's eyebrows. After some hesitation――I opened my mouth as if I had made up my mind.
　
"The magic circle contained a contract between the evil dragon and Elizabeth-sama. Currently, this dragon is under the control of Elizabeth-sama."
"...!?"
　
　Elizabeth opens her eyes.
　
"Normally, I wouldn't be able to make a contract with an evil dragon... but the blond hair that seems to belong to Elizabeth-sama was used as an intermediary."
"--a……!"
　
"She grabbed my dress and pulled my hair..."
　
　Elizabeth's words come to mind. A quarrel with Lars ten years ago. The reason why Rath, who was proud and stubborn, made her fall in love so much that he threw himself against the evil dragon.
　I wonder if she had carefully preserved the blond hair that was wrapped around her young hands. Isn't that just a pervert?
　When I turned a cold gaze at Lars, the Evil Dragon, who should be hostile to me, quickly averted his gaze. He seems to know that his predecessor did something wrong.
　
"I see, so you appeared in a straight line to Elizabeth's room."
　
　A contract was necessary to find Elizabeth's place and stay by her side.
　Dragons and Divine Beasts become their guardians when they make a contract with a human.
　
"... then there is no danger. As long as you absolutely obey Elizabeth's orders, there is no need to subjugate Lars."
　
　Haha, he sighed.
　On the contrary, it means that Elizabeth is in control of Lars' life and death. Her father must have told her to do as she pleases.
　It would have been easier if it was an order from the royal family.
　
"What are you doing, Elizabeth?"
　
　At my question, Elizabeth raised her face. She had a serious look on her face. The eyes of those who know the responsibility entrusted to choose.
　If she continues to sign a contract with Lars, Elizabeth will be even more responsible.
　
　But Elizabeth didn't bother.
　A quiet declaration echoes in the hall.
　
"Lars-sama will be my guardian dragon."
　
　I----.
　
　With a serious face so as not to let his inner voice out, he nodded while showing composure that he agrees with Elizabeth's choice.
　Lars looks at me with blinking eyes. All I knew was that she was bragging for no reason. Don't be offended by her.
　
"Then let this man go free. Serve Miss Elizabeth with all your heart."
　
　Mother lets go of her hand. Lars approached Elizabeth, flapping her tail, and flew around her. It was like a puppy that had been separated from its owner for a long time.
　
　However, Lars' joy, which even I envy, was shattered by none other than Elizabeth.
　
"So, Your Highness, this..."
　
　With blushing cheeks, Elizabeth handed me a letter in a pale floral envelope. There is no sealing wax or the family crest of the Duke of La Montrivre. I'm sure it was written in my spare time at school.
　Lars' tail stopped perfectly.
　
　no matter how anyone sees itlove letterlove letterwas.
　
　
＊＊＊
　
　
　After Elizabeth returned to the Duke's residence with Lars, I returned to my room and read the letter with my heart pounding.
　
"Please forgive me for being rude.
　Please give me time to prepare my heart.
　I will see you again next weekend at the Royal Palace. Liza
　
"... Liza"
　
　A swell of emotions rushes in from the depths of my heart, and I am speechless.
　
　You were probably too desperate to notice, but this is your reply, Elizabeth.
　No, I get it. You can tell just by looking at it. Elizabeth, do you like me? ? ? I didn't realize it until now, but my appeal had permeated Elizabeth's heart.
　That's why I thought it would be fine if you replied by letter.
　There was no way that sincere Elizabeth would express her feelings without looking at her face.
　
　Are you trying to convey it with your attitude, convey it with a letter, and even more with your voice?
　
　With the letter on my chest, I collapse onto the bed. Happiness filled her heart.
　
　……Haa, I like it…….
