Staying in the Drum Kingdom, oh, the Rus Kingdom, Vivi realized how immature she was.

  Unlike Masa, who tried to make his kingdom great, she could only infiltrate a certain anization and py the role of a bounty hunter instead of making her kingdom and its people prosperous and happy.

  Yes, Masa might only be focused oing more moo make him wealthier and more powerful, but even so, if this also caused the people of this kingdom to be happy and fident with their future, it was all great, right?

  Still, as expected, her previous request to ask Masa to help her save her kingdom ended up in a failure, or rather, he just ignored her, which made her grow frustrated as she saw how hopeless she was.

  More importantly, she had been kicked out of the castle!

  Or rather, she should have expected this since even if she was beautiful, she was annoying and so stubborn that Masa decided to kick her away.

  "Horororo, you are still here, Princess?"

  "Perona..."

  Vivi stared at the floating young woman with a bck gothic strapless dress with vender frills, red high-heeled boots, and a big bck top hat with white floral decor.

  Unlike Perona's previous clothing, Perona appeared more mature than before, but her hair was still tied in her usual twin-tailed hairstyle that gave a childish image, which gave her a distorted charm that made Masa love the most.

  Well, if she had to say, she was just having a zy day since if it was her usual time, then she would braid all of her hair, whiplemented her mature charm that was alsed by Masa.

  Oh, as for why she dressed lightly, although the temperature of the Rus Kingdom was a kingdom, it was because she was inside her room, and the ohat appeared in front of Vivi was the astral proje that she created with her Horo Horo no Mi.

  Still, watg Perona's beautiful yet zy appearance, Vivi couldn't help but feel jealous. Unlike Perona, who was so beautiful with clear skin like snow and even appeared like a princess, she, oher hand, who was a real princess, appeared so sloppy, cked care, and even her skin was just too... horrible.

  Masa wasn't someone who was frugal, and as he had the money, he didn't hesitate to make himself fortable since what was the use of w hard to get all of that money if it wasn't to make his life fortable, right?

  "You should give up asking him for help, you know? He is so busy, and even if you spare some moo ask for his help, your small amount of money isn't going to make him ied."

  "..." Vivi.

  The two had seen how Masa could create various things so easily, from factories, schools, and many unique infrastructures, and more importantly, he had discovered many minerals such as gold, ptinum, silver, and many others that the two couldn't uand.

  Yet, the fact that gold, ptinum, silver, and many other mineral resources were discovered in Masa's kingdom, he would definitely bee ribsp;

  No, they had a feeling that he would bee the wealthiest man in the world!

  However, this is why the more Vivi sees him, the more she realizes that she hasn't chosen the wrong person. Even Igaram, who was Vivi's aide during the mission, who always doted on her and was overprotective toward her, didn't stop or say anything when she tio visit Masa's pabsp;

  Instead, a certain thought emerged in Igaram's head, but Vivi had no way of knowing all of that.

  "But if you give him your kingdom, then he might agree to save you."

  Even if Perona wasn't that smart, Masa was quite patient with her and expined in a way that she could uand, and she knew well that even if Vivi's kingdom was nothing but a desert, it was one of the rgest kingdoms and it might be a good pp all of their items, turning Vivi's kingdom into a pce to get money.

  "Anyway, you, royalty, will be overthrown by the rebellions anyway, so there is o think too much, right?

  "..."

  Vivi couldn't say anything, and naturally, she was shaken. However, again, could she even represent the entire kingdom?

  She was nothing but a princess, and her father was the king. At the same time... if all of the people in her kingdom didn't follow the treaty arayed him, she knew well that Masa's anger wasn't something that her kingdom could bear, especially when she had seen his army.

  Yes, if it was her, then she would follow the treaty and promise to give Masa her kingdom, especially when she could see his kingdom had bee better under his governance, and all the people under him were happy.

  While it was strange, she felt that Masa was far better than her father, who was known as a kind ale king.

  The beginning of Masa's rule was terror and fear, but he showed everyone hoable he was.

  So—

  "I 't."

  "Then, goodbye."

  Perona didn't want to waste her time, but—

  "I-I bee his woman, too!"

  "Hmmm?"

  Perona was so stuhat she showed a silly expression, never expeg such words to e out of a princess's lips.

  "...why did you look at me like that?"

  "...are you serious?"

  "I am! Anyway, I will have to marry someone sooner or ter, and he is a good man, so it doesn't matter! Moreover, even if I 't give my kingdom, our child i the kingdom, so... isn't that good enough?"

  After Vivi said everything, her face flushed, feeling embarrassed and shy at how bold she was. Still, there was no harm in parison, sinlike Perona, a, and even Kalifa, who eheir lives being pampered like a rare breed of cats, and while she tried to hide it well...

  When Vivi thought of Masa's figure when he led everyoo build this helpless kingdom that was filled with nothing but snow, yet somehow, he exuded this fidence, who believed that he could ge everything... her heart was taken away.

  Still, she didn't expearry, or rather, she could imagine how naughty this guy was, so it was foolish of her to expect loyalty, but then again, if she regnant with someone... she wanted his child, she thought.

  If they had a child, then... Vivi didn't dare to think more!

  Still, despite being silly, Perona wasn't an idiot, and Vivi's offer ged her expression. Yes, Vivi's clothes might be dirty, and she appeared like a tomboy, but even she had to admit that Vivi was beautiful and, more importantly, Vivi's status... was a real princess!

  'If he chooses a queen...'

  Perohat her world had turned gray if what she imagined would happen!

  So—

  "No!"

  "Why?!" Vivi was also startled when Perona decided to reject her since she had never expected such a reje from her.

  "Anyway, no! Go back! Leave this kingdom! Go home now, or I'll make you all depressed with my ghosts!"

  "No, I won't! I won't go back!"

  As the two fought, Masa came out from the pad asked, "What are you two doing?"

  Naturally, a and Kalifa also came out, looking at Perona speechlessly sihey knew well that this silly woman would always be so noisy.

  "a, send this girl out! Don't make her stay!"

  Perona was sure that Masa was ied in Vivi, so he didn't say much about Vivi's presence. If there was a reason why Masa didn't do anything, she was sure that this guy wao trample Vivi's dignity first, then quer Vivi! Like her!

  So, Perona asked a since she knew well that a must have uood her, but—

  "Sorry, we will take a trip after this."

  "Huh? Where are you going?"

  "East Blue."

  "I want to go!"

  Their kingdom was good, but Perona also wao take a trip too!

  Only—

  "Ah, I join, too?" Vivi suddenly asked.

  "..."
