My Wolf Prince

"What, you?"

Upon the visit Isaac replied, even troublesome instead of greeting him.

"What a greeting. Are you so sorry it wasn't Claudia?

"... that's not what I said."

Isaac glanced at Ralph with an unpleasant look.

"So, is your body okay?

A few hours ago, Claudia's explosion would have been a word for something decent. Isaac shrugs his shoulders, just saying nothing.

"As you can see"

Ralph smiles happily.

"Sturdy and above all. I still thought you were the only one who could let Claudia go. He said he recommended it."

Recommendation. To that word, Isaac stopped moving.

"... or you, after all"

Three days ago, returning from the expedition, Isaac reported Alexis' disappearance to each side.

And yesterday Lord Rosenheim visited the Lamperts. Isaac to Claudia's fiancée.

"Would it still be difficult to turn Isaac, the eldest son, into my daughter's son-in-law?

'No, it's not like that. However, against the will of the person -'

Father.

'Isaac, I know. I understand you don't have the will to marry. "

'No. If only Father would take it.'

'... what!?'

That's how Isaac went to see Claudia after the conversation came together.

Nevertheless, why would there have been any other candidates? And I didn't think so. When Ralph is chewing one, I'm convinced.

"You can thank me."

"... why not?"

Makes me feel like hitting Ralph, who looks good at it, somehow.

"You've been thinking about Claudia. As a man."

"Huh!?"

"It was easy to understand. I couldn't tell you before Alec."

"Hey, wait a minute -"

"That's why I recommended you and your brother to improve."

"Wait!"

Though he roughed up his voice and controlled Ralph, Isaac's head turned bright white and then it didn't last.

"What's up, Isaac?"

"Uh..."

"Well, calm down. Don't wander off."

"Ugh, I'm not wandering!

"I think Alec noticed, by the way. I didn't say anything."

"Become..."

"What did Alec say when he broke up with you?

…………

Isaac breathed. Reminds me of my goodbye to my friends.

"... Claudia, please."

"I guess so."

"... I stopped. He said don't be ridiculous when you have a fiancée (him). And yet, that idiot -"

"Alec looks calm and won't pull it off once he decides. Though I thought there would have been another way. Well, it sounds like Alec."

…………

"I guess I thought Claudia would be safe with you."

"... is it my fault?

"What?"

"Because of me, Alec..."

"What are you talking about? Are you nuts?

Ha!? Before I say it back, Ralph goes on with the words in his true face.

"Alec met the Virgin. That's why I chose to say goodbye to Claudia. It's not because I've ever been too shy of you."

"... I don't know."

Isaac sighed and scratched his head.

When he saw how it was, he laughed again and Ralph sparkled the same sapphire eyes as Claudia.

"So, I want to know"

"... what?"

"That's why Claudia says she won't let you."

"You hear that on that face, normal?

"You're worried about doing it. I'll be your brother-in-law."

"... don't be seriously angry that you're my brother-in-law"

Saying, Isaac looks back at the past. The reason Claudia said she wouldn't allow it immediately occurred to me.

The memories are bitter and Isaac always wants to hold his head.
