Chapter 4: Schemes and Love

And so, Barracuda County—who had tried to butt into my engagement with Nia—found a new hopeful groom-candidate in Gale. Since there was no way they could jump straight to engagement after only just meeting, the Barracudas were probably going to do some background checking. If that came up clean, then they’d get serious about moving forward, removing any potential obstacles in their way. So basically, since Gale’s squeaky clean background was practically bar none, he was as good as got.

“So in the end, everything worked out.”

“And quite honestly, that’s something to celebrate.”

The day after our meeting with Count Barracuda, I was in Prince Alphonse’s office, reporting what happened while he listened with his perfect, princely smile on his face.

Absolutely perfect. Too perfect—to the point where it gave you chills.

“Aside from myself, you could say that it worked out well in a number of ways,” I continued, counting the other successes on my fingers.

First off, Miss Emilia Barracuda didn’t seem upset at all about Gale. He actually seemed to be her type.

“I actually started looking into the Barracuda County and Miss Emilia in the short time I had after you told me about them,” Prince Alphonse explained. “And from that, I learned that Miss Emilia prefers intellectuals over the grizzled knight type. Her issue was that despite that, she wanted someone muscular too, so she couldn’t find any noblemen who met her standards.”

“I see. And since Gale’s got an intellectual’s face and a built body, he fit into her strikezone perfectly,” I said, thinking back to Miss Emilia’s reactions from yesterday, and coming into a total understanding of them.

She’d just seen two rough muscle brains duke it out in front of her, only for a knight that hit all her buttons to appear. The gap between the two must’ve made Gale look even more her type. Normally, this effect would’ve lessened as time passed, but then his other abilities had fit her criteria exactly, so her feelings probably weren’t going to fade any time soon.

I’d wanted to say it all went as planned, but apparently, it hadn’t.

“I only just learned her type a moment before, so Gale getting there in time was purely by chance,” His Highness admitted.

“Wow, so it really was by the skin of our teeth,” I exclaimed. “You were a huge help, though… Wait. Then why didn’t you tell Gale anything about the plan?”

“If I’d told him, he’d choke. He’s not good at that kind of stuff, after all,” the prince commented, wry smile on his face.

“Ahh, I see.” I couldn’t do anything but nod. Gale was the type that went all red when ladies hit on him at the pub... it was good he’d found someone before some strange woman got her claws in him.

“To be completely honest, I didn’t think it’d go this well. I won’t say it wasn’t well planned, but it was definitely also a gamble. It’s quite surprising that things have gotten this far this quickly.”

“Well, Count Barracuda seemed to be mostly sure of things that same day,” I said, giving His Highness a forced smile.
