The Vongola's Fiancée

[Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of My Home Tutor! Starting this story at 300 bookmarks]

As the future wife of the Tenth Vongola Boss, Ellie wants neither true love nor anything else. All she wants is wealth and prestige, and for her family to prosper.

It doesn't matter who the Tenth Vongola Boss is.

A month before she arrived at Vongola Castle, she received word that her fiancé had been changed.

She hoped the new fiancé would be different from the last one.

But no one had ever told her that her fiancé would be a blank slate who knew nothing at all.

When the newly appointed Tenth Boss learned he had a fiancée five years younger than him, he jumped to his feet.

After stammering for ages, he finally met her under his teacher's firm insistence.

The girl looked like a doll, but stared at him without expression.

But... he had seen her smile before.

She looked much prettier when she smiled.

Though she was lovely now, too.

"Um, you're Ellie, right? I... I'm the current head of the Vongola family, and..."

This was hopeless. He really couldn't say it! Facing a girl who was still underage, he simply couldn't bring himself to say the words "fiancé"!

"You seem weaker than that other gentleman."

No... she didn't have to put it quite so harshly, did she? Tsuna, still getting used to working for the family, felt a little dejected.

But the very next second, the girl spoke again:

"But I like you very much, Mr. Sawada. I'm your fiancée. As they say in your hometown... I look forward to getting along with you?"

Oh no...

The newly appointed boss blinked, then quickly realized that his behavior was a little rude and turned to face her.

In a daze, he heard his own voice say:

"I look forward to getting along with you, too. My... fiancée."

Her blue eyes were so beautiful.

And her eyelashes were so long.

If only she would smile, she would surely be more beautiful than the flowers outside the window.

Later, by the time Tsuna finally understood why he had compared the girl to a flower, he had already missed its bloom.

"Mr. Sawada, I'm sorry. It seems my family got my marriage partner wrong. I'm sorry to have troubled you all these years."

What?

This flower...

"Mr. Sawada? If there's nothing else, please allow me to take my leave. That gentleman is waiting for me."

"Ellie," the now grown-up Godfather said, loosening his tie and calmly winding it around the stem of a rose.

"I think I told you from the very beginning. You're my fiancée."

This flower, cultivated by his own hands, was only right to bloom in his garden.

"Can anyone be your fiancé? Then why can't I?!"

[Reader's Guide]

1. Any out-of-character moments are on me. The characters belong to everyone.

2. A personal-preference cultivation story. The leads shape each other into partners who fit their own tastes. (The heroine is 17 from the start, one year shy of adulthood.)

3. A warm, everyday-life story with a little Godfather flair.

4. The heroine and 270 are the only pairing. The story focuses closely on their time together. If you don't like bittersweet romance, this may not be for you!

5. I'll save this for now and add more if I think of anything.
