Chapter 192: Alicia's Crush...Huh? 2
Translated by AmaLynne
“Uhh, well, that’s…”
“It means exactly what it sounds like. Ideally, Alicia should express her feelings to you properly, but we’re a bit short on time.”
“Short on time?”
“The other party is eager to move forward. It’s not a bad match, but Alicia wants to decline. She seemed to have confided her reasons to your parents, but she seems to have held back with me. It doesn’t look like she intends to confess her feelings to you. But really, isn’t it a bit late?”
Sam was aware that there were talks of a marriage proposal for Alicia.
If he remembered correctly, it was a boy from her childhood.
However, he never imagined that Alicia had feelings for him.
Despite having confidence in their good relationship as family and friends, anything beyond that was indeed surprising.
But he didn’t dislike it; in fact, he felt quite happy about it.
“Well, certainly, I already have four other fiancées.”
Alicia seemed to have tried to hide her feelings for Sam from Lise, but it was indeed a bit late. Sam already had four other fiancées, including Lise, Stella, Hanae, and Mizuki.
“Hehe, you’re quite the lucky guy, Sam. So, what do you think? To be serious, I want you to accept Alicia.”
“Lise-sama?”
Sam tilted his head in confusion as Lise, with a somewhat serious expression, encouraged him to consider Alicia.
He was aware of the close relationship between the sisters, so it wasn’t surprising that Lise would suggest Alicia as a fifth fiancée, especially since Sam had a good relationship with her as well.
In reality, Sam didn’t mind Alicia at all.
“It might sound like favoritism because she’s my sister, but it would be really sad to see Alicia heartbroken at this point. If she were to lose hope and end up in an unwanted marriage… it’s just scary to think about.”
Lise’s anxiety was understandable.
While Alicia seemed quiet most of the time, she had a resilient side that showed itself when needed.
If Alicia were to make a rash decision and marry someone she didn’t want to, it would lead to unhappy days.
Of course, it wasn’t guaranteed that Alicia would act impulsively, but the possibility wasn’t zero, and that’s why Lise was worried.
However, the biggest issue was Sam’s feelings.
“Lise-sama, I… well, I do like Alicia-sama. But…”
“But?”
Sam contemplated his feelings for Alicia.
The time he spent with her was enjoyable.
He shared an interest in the stories she loved, and the moments they spent caring for baby dragons were precious to him.
Initially, when they had just met, there was some distance between them due to Alicia’s unease around men.
However, they had grown so close that their shoulders brushed against each other without any issues. Sam cherished this development.
The thought of Alicia potentially marrying someone else she didn’t want bothered him.
The conclusion was already clear in his mind.
“I’ll talk to Alicia-sama about this.”
With these words, Sam closed one eye, as if indicating his intentions. Lise understood what Sam meant.
With a delighted expression, she embraced Sam.
“Geez, Sam! You’re the best! Please make Alicia happy too!”
“I’ll do my best.”
