The Villainess who Only Had 100 Days to Live Had Fun Every Day

k of anything else to say… Why are you doing such a thing?”

“Because I want to master acrobatics!”

“A, acrobatics?!”

“Indeed.
The other day, I saw the performance of a theatrical group called a circus with my father.
I was truly impressed.”

Certainly, a circus came to the Elcage territory last weekend.
I was also invited, but I couldn’t miss my public-related affairs.

I wonder if it was truly entertaining?

More importantly, I’m glad that she enjoyed it.

“Therefore, I want to dive into a circle of fire!”

“A circle of fire!?”

“Also, wouldn’t it be great if I were to be able to train a beast?”

…Is the beast in her previous statement a metaphor?

However, from the flow of the conversation, I could only assume that she was referring to the real thing.

Well, what should I do?

It had been a while ever since I last saw Lelouche’s black eyes gleaming.
I was truly happy at the sight.

If I were to ride a beast and dive into the ring of fire, would Lelouche be—

—Then, as my thoughts strayed;

“Brother! Lelouche! I’ve called her father!”

“Zafieeeeeeld—!!”

They came!

As expected of my brother, Zafield!

I was truly relieved, delighted to the brink of tears at having such a competent brother.

Zafield had summoned our parents.
After they had kindly admonished Lelouche, she was made to return to bed.

“…What?”

“Well, I don’t see anything wrong with that.
It’s common for adolescent girls, right?”

—I think my mother’s education might be too strict?!

After saying that to my mother, she casually dismissed me.

“Because you were so noisy, a doctor was called in.
That said, I don’t think there’s anything to be worried about? If she can rid herself of her frustrations every once in a while, won’t she be satisfied?”

“…Should you be speaking in such a manner towards your own son?”

I couldn’t grasp what my mother meant by ‘rid herself of her frustrations.’

My father, who stopped us while sighing, said, “Everything is fine.”

“Of course, you should stop her before she gets hurt.
Once she grows up, I’m sure her eccentricity will calm down.
Until then, kindly keep an eye on her.”

—Even though I was admonished by my parents, I was still worried about Lelouche.

Thus, I asked Lelouche, who was diagnosed as “Not having any issues,” by the doctor, “Lelouche, is there anything I can do for you?”

—In return, I was given an unprecedentedly harsh gaze.

“Your Highness, may I say something…?”

“Of course, tell me anything!”

“Aren’t you being a little self-centered?”

Self-centered? Me…?

Was it wrong for me, as the elder, to worry about my three years younger fiancée?

Even if she was already 12 years old, I still recalled the vestiges of those days.

That day when she was delighted to ride on my back.
That day she was sad because she couldn’t make a stuffed animal well—I could still recall them…

That’s why, I…

“Thank you for your concern, but I can do it by myself without the help of Your Highness.”

“B, but we’re a couple…”

“If so, shouldn’t you worry about yourself before worrying about me? Don’t the princes also have to take royal education? I’ve heard rumors that your grades are lackluster.”

“Wha!?”

While it was true that the academy I had entered that year require more than the average minimum regarding grades, it wasn’t as strict as top academies.
More importantly, I couldn’t bring public affairs to the dormitory, so I often returned to the royal castle (to see Lelouche).
However, it could be said that I hadn’t been studying enough.
More than that, together with her, I wanted to—

“—To each of their own, let’s do our best first.
I’m alright alone.
I’ll definitely become a queen that suits you.”

—But if that’s what she wants…

I shall hold my breath and watch over her.
I shall also do my best to become a king suitable for her.

However, if her heart broke in that difficult world of women, then…

…I’d definitely support her.
No matter how eccentric she behaved.
No matter how many tears she shed.

No matter who she was, I’d be the man she wanted.

I swore that to the clumsy stuffed animal.

In fact, her eccentricity did diminish as she grew older, but it never went down to zero.

Hence, when she enrolled into the academy, a lot of trouble and misfortune occurred.
At first, I thought I was going to have a seizure.

***T/N: Sometimes I found it difficult to relate to Lelouche due to said eccentricity as well.
