In the end, despite my resolution...

“Lune! I missed you!”

I was staring at Hodr, who was grinning back at me. He had arrived a few days ago by ship and was staying in the inn’s VIP room. But of course, he decided to visit House Renard under the excuse of auditing his donation fund. He couldn’t actually do that himself, so a bureaucrat from the royal court was accompanying him.

I flinched and hid behind my brother. Lord Reineke in his fox form nuzzled against me.

“I guess it’s been a while, so maybe you forgot? It’s me! Your Hodr!” the prince said.

“My” Hodr?! What nonsense!

Meanwhile, the auditor merely scoffed at the sight of me without even giving me a greeting. We had looked into him and found that he was a distant relative of House Cordier, the queen’s birth family. She had probably sent him out to investigate House Renard, as an inspection would allow him to look into our internal affairs in great detail. Right from the start, the queen was acting with hostility toward us.

“Ha! Such disrespect. They say she’s the contractor of a great spirit, but she’s just some beast from the boonies,” the auditor murmured mockingly under his breath.

Lord Reineke’s ears twitched. He growled, baring his fangs.

Oh no, he’s angry! By making fun of me, that man’s basically insulting Lord Reineke! And if I ignore the prince, the auditor will think House Renard is disrespectful! I can’t allow that!

I rushed to stand side by side with Liam.

“Welcome, Your Highness. I hope you have a pleasant time here,” I said politely, grasping my skirt and curtsying. My form was elegant, as the queen had made me undergo rigorous training in my past life. I used to cry while constantly practicing, but I guess I couldn’t complain now that I could bow as beautifully as Her Majesty herself.

The auditor glanced at me and clicked his tongue.

“You’re beautiful as ever, Lune!” Hodr said. “It’s like you’re already the crown princess!”

The prince flung himself at me, but Lord Reineke stepped in between us.

Liam stepped forward as well, his expression icy.

“We’ve already refused numerous times. Lune will not be your bride,” he said.

Hodr just laughed, but when the auditor saw Liam’s firm attitude, his eyes widened.

“Oh? Is that the complete consensus of House Renard?” he asked.

Father nodded. “Indeed. Besides, House Renard cannot marry into the royal family. We will not break that vow.”

The auditor nodded as well. “Your prudence is admirable.”

Although the Renards were formally above him in status, the man’s words were only superficially polite. The fact that the queen was his ally gave him confidence. I was sure she had ordered him to look into House Renard’s intentions. Not to mention, we didn’t hold any major posts in the royal court, which was part of the reason the lower ranks looked down on us.

But just like in my past life, father didn’t rebuke the man. He simply accepted the situation for what it was.

“This again...” Hodr muttered grumpily, but nobody else had heard him, so I pretended I hadn’t as well.
