Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 207.1
End of the Year
“Would you please be my partner at my graduation party?”
I narrowed my eyes in suspicion as he looked at me with a serious expression that didn’t include his usual fake smile, but also contained a hint of nervousness.
What is his intention? Mikhail Melrose is the grandson of Melrose, the Prime Minister, and if things go as planned, he will inherit both positions in a few decades, making him an important figure for the kingdom.
He is also a member of the high nobility, so he must have plenty of invitations, and he must know the significance of inviting a woman of his age to a magic academy graduation party.
“I don’t want any nonsense.”
“This isn’t a joke. I’m serious.”
“…”
I am the daughter of a baron, who is nominally a member of the middle nobility, but I am only an adopted daughter of a minor nobleman who is a former baronet. Whether it’s a whim or a serious matter, if he makes me his partner, the branch family of the Melrose family will not remain silent.
As for the Melrose family… well, the Prime Minister might do something to silence those around him to win me over.
“…Could you come over here?”
“All right.”
Mikhail smiles at my words and stands up. Even though there are few people around here, it is a passageway that faces the courtyard of the royal castle. If someone crosses the courtyard, it would not be good for him, let alone me, to be seen kneeling by the royal palace maids.
I duck behind a pillar out of sight from the courtyard and look back, peering into Mikhail’s eyes, which are half-hidden by his head.
“So? What are you planning?”
“I’m not plotting anything!”
Mikhail panics at my question, which suddenly stops being in the manner of a lady-in-waiting.
“Then why me?”
“Well, that’s because…”
As I drew closer to question him further, his face, which had been looking up at me from below, was hastily averted. …That’s suspicious.
“Hey, hey, it’s embarrassing when you get that close.”
“Trouble?”
As Mikhail tried to move away, the guard maid Taijutsu pushed her hand against his chest and pushed him up against the wall, and for some reason he made a strange face with mixed emotions.
Even if he is the princess’s bodyguard, it is highly disrespectful for the adopted daughter of a baron to corner a high-ranking nobleman, but unfortunately, I have received permission from my grandfather, the head of the Demon clan, to allow for certain things.
If you’re talking about the Demon Clan, then Mikhail is technically one of us, but there are cases where people act in unexpected ways due to their beliefs, like the traitor Grave.
“No, I’m not thinking anything crazy… Just.”
Mikhail looked away again from me, who was glaring at him from close up, and held his face with one hand, as if to hide it.

“I’m serious about all of it. Please believe me…”
“…”
I think he’s not lying from the way he looks, and I think about the meaning of his words.
“You’re not serious?”
“I’m telling you I am!”
I didn’t think he was serious. I still don’t really understand romantic relationships, but I know about them from my “knowledge”. That’s why I didn’t understand.
