[Comprehensive] The eldest lady of the famous family

[Sakura Manor]

It got its name from the many flowers, plants and trees planned during construction, and it got its name from the most prosperous cherry blossoms.

Currently belongs to [Akashi].

Here tonight, an eye-catching engagement banquet is being held.

The home court is the Atobe family and the Akashi family, two of the four largest giants in the country. The word "strong alliance" is perfect here.The banquet was very grand, but the selection of invitations and the admission of personnel were so strict, those who didn't know that they thought it was going to be a real wedding ceremony here, but the two parties involved in the engagement banquet were still sophomores. See, there is no way to get married.

As long as there are incidents, there will be no shortage of interested people who make more guesses. After all, for many busy people, the gossip of the upper class matching their high living standards is "a talk", otherwise it is irrelevant. It's also boring to say.

"I heard that it seems that the young lady of the Atobe family will return to England in the second half of the year. The engagement banquet that was originally scheduled to be held after the end of the third year of high school has been moved to the present."

"Young master of the Akashi family can't wait?"

"Tsk, young people nowadays."

"You really don't talk about young people. In the last investment case, the son of the Akashi family and his future brother-in-law of the Atobe family fought tit-for-tat. In my opinion, this marriage is not certain."

"Wawa's marriage can be maintained until now, it is estimated that it is Atobe and Akashi."

"Even if these two families have decided to be baby relatives, it is absolutely impossible to make an appointment blindly without thinking."

……

The guests in the front hall were drinking wine and chatting and laughing, and Mao, who was in the back garden, was lying in his brother's arms and refused to come out no matter what.

Afraid of ruining her hairstyle, Atobe just patted the spine on her back lightly with his palm: "Why, don't you want to get engaged?"

"no."

Mao drew a long tone and shook his head slightly in his arms, looking lazy and extremely tired, "It feels a little...not real."

Atobe, who has not been able to give Mao a candidate for a sister-in-law so far, said that he didn't understand: "Akashi treats you badly?"

So it's too soon for an engagement party?

"No, it's my own problem..." Mao sighed, "I just think it's so unreal, and it has nothing to do with Zheng-kun."

Obviously it was something planned long ago, but when it really came to an end, there was a sense of unreality.

Mao couldn't tell where this feeling came from, she got along with Akashi absolutely harmoniously, even to the point of being ridiculed as a role model - Akashi's reputation in Luoshan is getting higher and higher, and when she appears, people will also be ridiculed. Notice.

Correct.

There was no problem at first.

"Ah, brother——" Mao hugged him tighter, and began to act like a spoiled child, "I don't know why."

Atobe and her have been the closest since childhood, maybe because of the twins, occasionally something happens to Mao, or something happens to Atobe, there will be a very special and unknown feeling between the two.

For example, at this moment, Mao was clearly acting like a child in his arms, but in the blink of an eye, he was so blessed that he suddenly said: "I can't adapt to the change of identity. You have always lived so freely, Mao, and now finally someone wants to take your wings." Put a layer of shackles on you, so you don't know what to do."

Yes.

It's definitely not a distrust of Akashi, but a sense of compromise with the sudden arrival of the identity. After changing the identity in that, I began to feel uncomfortable.

"In that case..."

Mao's ears perked up, ready to hear his brother's solution.

"It's okay to regret the marriage. It's not too late."

Mao: "..."

How many levels of people are the guests in the front hall now? Brother, you have indeed read the list, right?

Are you serious when you say to your sister, "It's not too late to regret the marriage"? !

"Don't look at me like that." Atobe habitually stretched out his hand, almost touching Mao's hair, paused, and landed on the side of her face, "Since it's your brother, I must give you confidence."

"It's okay to regret the marriage."

"Even if the wedding ceremony is finally held after several years, my words still count."

"..." Mao opened his mouth, finally managed to speak, and muttered in a low voice, "It seems that my backing is very strong."

Atobe chuckled: "Do you think your brother is just a display?"

"In that case—" Mao imitated Atobe's tone, and finally showed a big smile on his face, "I have nothing to be afraid of."

In fact, they are closer than their parents, and they have been together since before birth.

That is her and her brother.

On the contrary, Atobe sighed leisurely, and the deliberate elements in it almost overflowed: "It's a pity, I kind of hope you dump that guy Akashi."

Mao looked at him dumbfounded: "Brother, what are you talking about, your mother will be angry if she hears it."

"Because of your brother, I am also very distressed." Atobe glanced behind her, "For the current Akashi, the biggest weakness is you, what a pity."

Mao was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but lightly thumped Atobe's arm: "Really, what does my brother think of me!"

"Think of you as a weakness."

Atobe copied his pocket with one hand, his tone unchanged.

It's Akashi's weakness, and it's also his weakness.

Therefore, no matter how the two sides confront each other, it will not hurt or itch, because even if they lose the wind occasionally, it is not a problem for the two determined two, and it will not hurt their roots at all.

Mao wrinkled his nose and snorted.

Every time Atobe heard her snort like this, he couldn't help but think of when he was very young, at that time he somehow learned to snort. The voice is milky, like a kitten acting coquettishly, Atobe laughs every time he hears it, which is quite exciting for the little Mao, and finally he has seven or eight charms, but he is not as aggressive as Atobe .

"Don't be afraid." Atobe hugged her again, whispering in Mao's ears with a smile, "Akashi doesn't have an older brother, but you do."

So just go ahead and fake it!

Mao: "..."

Although the words were very weird, she was really completely appeased.

After Atobe hugged him for a while, he raised his chin behind Mao: "Your fiancé is waiting there."

"Well?"

Mao turned around in surprise.

The banquet hasn't started yet, Akashi must have something to look for at this time... are you nervous?

Instantly connecting Akashi's situation with himself just now, Mao finally took Rajibe's hand: "Brother, I'm going."

"uh-huh."

Atobe responded with a simple nasal voice, and seeing Mao walking away, he turned and left.

——On the surface, the situation is calm and calm, but up to now, he still wants to drag the guy who snatched his sister to the duel field to fight to the death every minute!

Mao was dominated by preconceived impressions, and subconsciously thought that Akashi was nervous, so he naturally went to hold his hand first: "Masa-kun, why are you here?"

"Thinking that you might be a little down, but it seems to be fine now." Akashi held her soft fingers in the palm of his backhand.

"—Hey! The matter of predicting things like a god can't be your own skill!"

what!

From before to now, no matter how many times I have seen it, I still feel that this is simply cheating!Excessive!It's so unreal!

Akashi was very calm: "Don't underestimate how much I care about you."

For the incident about Mao, he did almost quickly form a conditioned thinking mode.

"Anyway, I can't talk to you." Mao conceded defeat, and pulled the topic back, "I thought you would be a little bit nervous, Masamune."

"Seriously, I look forward to it more."

Mao: "..."

I can't talk today.

Mao stared at him speechlessly for a while, and found out in frustration: "Zheng-kun, are you really... very happy?"

"There's no reason to be unhappy." Akashi's good mood was rare, and Kuro couldn't hide it, "This is what I'm looking forward to."

Mao couldn't find the right words to say again.

The current situation is not at all the same as usual, the mind of joking is not so clear, and I don't want to resist, it's just nervousness mixed with various other messy emotions, it's really a bit uncomfortable.

"Mao, you—" Akashi looked at her again, with hesitation in his tone, "Aren't you happy?"

Mao looked at him weakly: "You can see it, Zheng-kun, why are you asking if you are happy..."

She is not unhappy.

It's just that she got engaged at a young age... Hey, although it was a long-term decision.

Akashi finally grasped the point: "You really care about this."

To know her so well about him.

"It's not that... I'm a little concerned, I feel like I've been seen through." Mao's fingers caught by him twitched restlessly, "There is a kind of thing that can't escape from your hands no matter what... ...Ah no, Zheng-kun, please don't show that expression, didn't I say that I will always be with you? ...In the end, it turned into a promise again, I didn't mean to say this..."

She showed a distressed expression, and shook Akashi's hand: "I think I'm a little uneasy, Masamune."

It was clearly suppressed just now.

Now it popped up again for no apparent reason.

Mao didn't emphasize who it was, she knew that Akashi could understand what she meant.

——Even I can't explain it clearly, but it is definitely not any emotion that wants to regret or escape.

"It's probably because I can't adapt to such a change for a while."

For Mao, [Atobe] is the place where she has lived for the longest time, and from this moment, it seems that she has been entrusted to someone else's hands, even if it is not so serious, it is the beginning of spending a lifetime with another person The prelude has already been kicked off.

Akashi thought for a while, and knelt down on one knee in front of Mao's eyes.

"——Zhengjun?!"

"Please put aside all anxiety, I will do my best to pave the way for you."

"Your Majesty, Akashi Seijuro, hereby swear by the stars and the bright moon, and swear by my surname and life, I beg Miss Atobe to marry me."

He used an old saying.

The wording is completely in the way of ancient books.

It's a marriage proposal.

It turned out to be a marriage proposal.

"...It's too much, you, every time I can't say enough words to deal with it..." Mao blinked, feeling a little blurred in his vision, and saw Akashi's tense expression without any surprise, "...being proposed Isn't it normal to want to cry - Masamune, your ring and tweed!"

She didn't want to appear too weak, and she didn't want to cry and make up a joke, so she had to forcefully change the subject. In fact, she was already deeply moved.

"The ring and the bouquet are both in the inner hall." Akashi reminded her, wanting to help her wipe away tears but still did not change the posture of kneeling on one knee.

There was only one woman left in this world who made him willingly kneel.

"Sorry for omitting the process." Akashi's tone was still soothing and pleasant, "But after that is the ceremony, now it's all my sincerity."

Give it all to you.

"...It's too much, don't say it."

Mao raised one hand and covered his eyes with the back of his hand.

After a short breath calmed down, she solemnly responded with an unprecedented calm tone.

"—I would."
