The Villainess Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride (hostage) in a Former Enemy Country

With Rishe breathing laboriously, Arnold signaled one of the Royal Knight Guards. One of them rushed over and removed the restraints on his hand.

Arnold then removed the leg restraint himself and bent down in front of Rishe and released the strap on her left hand.

“Thank you for your guidance…”

She’d expected it, but still it was a shame that she lost. Perhaps she wore her feelings on her face, Arnold chuckled as he rested his cheekbone on his knee.

“Did you say you’d listen to me on everything about one thing?”

“Yes, I’m at your service! I don’t go back on my words!”

With a bit of desperation, Rishe assured him.

In any case, she didn’t seriously think she had a chance of winning. It was a lucrative gamble for Rishe, whether she could win or lose.

In the unlikely event that Rishe won, she could ask Arnold what she wanted to hear.

If she lost, as expected, she could determine what he wanted from her. Maybe that could also aid her in finding out why Arnold has asked her to marry him.

It was for these reasons that she put forth such a proposition.

That’s right. It’s all part of the calculation. I don’t regret it, no regrets…

She was in fact thoroughly frustrated, but told herself that.

Arnold observed her expressions for a while, and eventually, as he untied his eye patch, he said, “Right… Then leave your afternoon open two days later. We’re going out to the castle town.”

“The castle town? I will obey, of course, but what are we going to do there?”

“I’ll tell you then.”

Arnold stood up and left the eye patch he untied to a knight guard.

Umm … As the Crown Prince and his fiancée, are we going to do some official duties or something?

Anyway, she’d never figure it out just by thinking about it. Come to think of it, it would be the first time since she went out of the castle to see Tully, the business chairman.

At that time, a burglar was found, and he made her promise to be with him when she went out of the castle in the future.

Arnold would go as far as to accompany Rishe everywhere.

Her mind wandered off with that thought, while Arnold curiously looked down at her.

“What’s the matter? It’s about time you got up.”

“Oh… Uh…”

After slumping to the ground forever, Rishe gently turned away from Arnold.

“I’ll be here for a while longer. Your Highness, please go ahead and return.”

“Why?”

“…”

She hated to explain it, but she had to.

She braced her stomach and opened her mouth in shame.

“Actually, my limbs are now shaking after the hand-to-hand combat.”

“…What?”

“Somehow, my body seemed unable to keep up with the exercise…”

It was really pathetic. If she tried to stand up now, she might just plunge face first into the ground.

“So I suggest you get some rest. I’ll make sure the training area is properly locked up, don’t worry.”

“…”

“Your Highness?”

Arnold gave her a hmmm look.

“I won’t be touching you with my bare hands, so it’s fine, right?”

“…Huh?”

A bad hunch struck her.

She wanted to instinctively say “no”, but she didn’t know what was being confirmed.

Meanwhile, Arnold knelt in front of Rishe and extended a black gloved hand towards her.

“Eh? Huh, wait, Your High–”

The next moment, Rishe fluffily floated away.
