5 – Betrothed to a princess from an enemy country (5)

“Four hundred and one… Four hundred two… ”

The training hall of the Regius royal castle.

Ben was swinging a wooden sword after lifting weights as usual.

When I lifted a heavy weight and swung a wooden sword with my exhausted muscles, my whole body trembled, but the pain was sweet when I thought about how my strength and muscles would improve the more I did it.

“Four hundred and ninety-nine… Five hundred… Ugh… “I’m done.”

Ben, who had completed all his swordsmanship training, took off his shirt and lay down on the floor.

I needed to get some nutrition right now, but I couldn’t move at all.

I felt like I needed to rest like this for at least 5 minutes before I could move my muscles again.

“still… “It’s gotten pretty good, right?”

Ben looked down at his muscles, which had now grown considerably, and muttered with a satisfied expression.

Of course, no matter how much he built up his muscles, Ben is still 15 years old. Compared to the knights of the kingdom, it was far inferior.

From noble mtl dot com

Nevertheless, it could be said that he had an overwhelmingly strong body among his peers.

To be precise, he had a good body even at an ordinary person’s level. It’s not big, but the appropriate muscles are well-placed.

It didn’t have the big, beefy muscles that Yuna wanted, but it was a beautiful enough body, and if she continued like this, it was clear that she would have a body to Yuna’s taste.

It’s been 3 years since I met Yuna. Ben kept trying.

Unlike Yuuna, because he was the eldest son, he received extensive training from a young age to inherit the throne.

It was a difficult level of education for a young person to handle, but Ben, who had grown up a little early, received all the lessons well and was growing well as a worthy successor.

And after meeting Yuna, he still took the time to train himself while receiving training as a successor, so his daily schedule was so full that no noble could dare to follow him.

Normally, it would be a level that the body and mind would not be able to withstand.

However, Ben ran for three years with the single intention of becoming a man who suited Yuuna and whom Yuna would fall in love with.

Just seeing her attitude change little by little was enough to give me motivation to get through these difficult days.

I couldn’t say for sure that I loved her yet. Because I still didn’t know what love was.

But I was certain that I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life and make her happy for the rest of my life.

Being with her made me laugh, and seeing her laugh made me feel good.

Wouldn’t this be okay for now? Her presence alone was enough for Ben to have a reason to live.

I didn’t know about love or anything, but I was certain that I wanted to continue to be with her.

That’s how precious Yuna became to Ben, and she was such a lovely person that he could easily fall for her.

“-Ben!”

“… “Yuuna?”

As I lay blankly looking at the sky, I heard Yuna’s voice from somewhere.

Although his muscles were tired, Ben automatically stood up when he heard her voice.

“What are you doing… Kyaak, kyaak?!”

Yuuna came close to Ben, who was already lying on the floor.

However, I must have not known that he was taking off his top, so I hurriedly covered my eyes when I saw him standing up.

“Oh, I sweat a lot. what’s the matter?”

“Well, just…” I came here to have fun… ”

“Without contacting me in advance? “What happened?”

“Well, I just wanted to do that today… Rather, put on some clothes… ! Aren’t you embarrassed? “

“Those clothes are so wet I don’t want to wear them… Let’s go in first. “I’m going to get dressed and come out, so I’m having some tea.”

“Uh, uhm… huh… ”

It was his first time showing his bare body to Yuna, but Ben wasn’t particularly embarrassed.

In the first place, it was common for men to be topless, and Ben would always walk around the castle with his shirt off after training.

However, Yuuna’s perspective was different when she saw a man’s bare body for the first time.

She had always said that she liked men who looked like strong heroes, but of course Yuuna, who was still young, had never experienced a muscular man or seen a man’s bare body.

People around him thought he had a taste for muscular men, but the reality was a little different.

She just heard stories about warriors and thought that strong men like warriors were good.

Therefore, for her, even a cut in her muscles was enough to stimulate her.

No, rather, it caught my eye even more because it was a body that was both beautiful and masculine without being too bulky.

Widely spread lat muscles and thick sides that don’t even look like Yuuna’s arms can cover them all.

The sturdy breasts, clearly defined abs, and waistline were enough to make the woman blush.

It was rather embarrassing to Yuna that the body of a man she had never seen before was so stimulating.

“You can watch it comfortably. Because my body is working hard for you. how is it? Is it still not enough?”

“that that… I don’t know, but maybe it’s okay… ?”

Even when I asked how it was, I couldn’t answer. To begin with, Yuuna has never seen anything other than Ben’s body.

Although it was my first time, I could clearly see that his body was created through constant effort.

The body that was clearly made of his blood and sweat continued to steal Yuna’s attention.

Just by glancing at it out of the corner of my eye, my heart started pounding strangely and my face turned red.

It was the first time I felt a strange, tingling sensation in my lower abdomen.

“okay? “Didn’t Yuuna like muscular men?”

“Well, it’s not like that… ! I’m just saying that a strong man like you is cool… Now, don’t keep giving me weird misunderstandings… !”

Ben thought Yuna was just hiding her words because she was embarrassed.

That’s right, Yuuna has been liking muscular men for the past three years. Because I was thinking that.

As expected, it’s still not enough. I just thought I should eat more and exercise more.

‘Bah, idiot… Aren’t you embarrassed? Well, but… Boo… I feel strange… ‘

Yuna was truly embarrassed.

Ben didn’t realize that it had shaken Yuna’s heart to the point where her eyes kept rolling and her face was turning red.

“But this scar here… “When did you get hurt?”

“Oh, that? They say it’s a burn I got when I was young. It’s no big deal. “It doesn’t even reach the eyes.”

I was scanning Ben’s body without even realizing it, to the point where I noticed a small burn mark on his back.

Ben didn’t particularly mind her gaze, but she felt guilty about spying on her body.

“Wait a moment. “I’ll wash up quickly and come out.”

“Yes. “Come slowly.”

Ben left Yuna in the living room and went away for a moment to wash himself.

Yuna was somehow saddened by the fact that she could no longer see his body.

“Bah, idiot! What’s unfortunate… !”

Yuuna, who inadvertently thought of regret, slapped herself on the cheek and shook her head.

No matter how male he is, he shamelessly thinks it’s a shame not to be able to see his bare body.

Besides, when I thought about it, it was very shameless to keep an eye on his body the whole time I was walking with him.

Although Ben didn’t seem to be particularly concerned, it was easy to think of her as a light and lustful woman.

A young lady who had not yet married looked at the well-muscled body of a man like a pervert, so even if someone called her a prostitute, she would have nothing to say.

“Oh, I guess no one saw it?”

I didn’t really run into anyone on the way.

There was a servant who served tea, but I only saw him for a moment.

Yuuna felt relieved as she thought over each and every detail, and it was only then that she relaxed and enjoyed the refreshments.

“Rather… When did your body… ”

I didn’t notice it when I looked over my clothes, but when did I become so muscular?

Actually, Yuna wasn’t particularly interested in muscles, but it wasn’t easy to forget after seeing such a provocative body.

The opponent there was Ben. Ben is a kind and kind friend who asks me to marry him on a random day.

Ben’s usual appearance overlapped with his bare body from before, and Yuna inadvertently imagined him taking off his clothes and asking her to marry him.

“Kyaaah!”

I was so shocked that I dropped my teacup.

In her imagination, Yuuna had already allowed him and even tried to kiss him.

“Are you okay, princess?”

“Oh, it’s okay. My hand slipped… ”

“I’ll clean it up.”

Yuuna comes to her senses thanks to the servant who heard the noise and came in.

However, the heat created by that naughty thought continued to remain, causing Yuna’s face to blush.

“Stupid Ben. Stupid, stupid, stupid… ”

You suddenly show your naked body like that. It was a foul.

It was definitely a shameless act to show one’s bare body to a young lady who had no real experience with men.

Rather than blaming herself, Yuna chose to accuse Ben of being unscrupulous.

‘… I promise. There will really be no marriage.’

The king’s words suddenly came to mind at that moment. They said there would never be a marriage.

For some reason, she felt regretful about that fact these days, but she soon remembered it.

Yuna also knew that Ben had a killer schedule and even worked out for her.

Her father, the king of the Kingdom of Helia, was also working hard for her, so it was not easy for her to say that she would get married now.

Of course, Ben might like her, but that doesn’t mean he really loves her.

The reason Ben wants to marry Yuuna and maintain a good relationship is because he is the eldest son of the Kingdom of Regius and thinks between the two kingdoms.

And in his own way, he was trying to live up to the expectations of his parents, who were the kings of the Kingdom of Regius.

Yuna knew that because Ben had tried to become friends with her from the first time they met.

He may not be in love with you, but he is trying to make it look like a happy marriage to the outside world.

And for that, he is working hard, enduring pain, to satisfy even Yuna.

Therefore, even though Yuna had the opportunity to break off the engagement, she did not want to blow that opportunity due to her own greed.

Even if the engagement is broken, the relationship between the two kingdoms will continue to be good, and I will be able to remain friends with Ben.

Yuuna thought that was enough.

Every time I think about that, my heart feels tight for some reason.

“… Yuuna! “I waited a long time.”

“Uh, no, no. “Did you get here quickly?”

“I just took a quick shower. What’s really going on? I think this is my first time coming without telling you in advance. “Today is not the day to see moon squirrels.”

“Well, just. Because I want to do that. “Why not?”

“No, I’m fine.”

Continue the conversation as usual.

Talking with him was always fun.

However, when I thought about breaking off my engagement with him, although it was definitely a good thing, I strangely felt depressed this time.

The reason why Yuna suddenly came to Ben without saying a word today was also because her father said that the engagement would soon be broken off.

“Well, Ben. Even if we weren’t fiancé… “We are friends, right?”

“That’s natural. But that won’t happen. “Why do you want to marry me so much?”

“no… ! “It’s not that, I wonder if we could have become this close even if we weren’t engaged.”

We will break off our engagement soon. I couldn’t say that. He didn’t seem to know about the breakup of the engagement yet.

Instead, it was best for her to turn it around and see if they could remain friends even if the engagement was broken off.

“hmm… Wouldn’t it have been difficult if relations between the kingdoms continued to be bad? But if there weren’t those obstacles, we would definitely have become friends again. No. “I would have liked to be close to you.”

“… why?”

“Yeah… Because I like you?”

Hwaak-

Yuna’s face turned red again at Ben’s last words.

It clearly means that he likes her as a friend, but why did he react so sensitively?

Yuna spoke loudly in part to hide the sound of her rapidly beating heart.

“what… !”

“ha ha ha. So let’s continue to be friends. “Yuuna.”

“Of course… ”

As always, his bright smile easily calmed Yuna’s anxiety.
