The second daughter of the Vernon family and a new student who has decided to enroll at the Academy today. Shefor de Vernon.

She had no reason whatsoever to enter the academy.

What would a young lady who had successfully established herself in high society do with an academy diploma?

At that time, going to a ball or a tea party would be a hundred times more profitable.

Why did she enroll in the academy?

The answer lay with Estee.

-Shepor. Enroll in the Imperial Academy this spring.

-Me? Why, Father?

-There was a secret request from the royal family. If you take good care of Her Highness the Third Princess, they will provide great help to the family.

-Princess Esti… Me…?

-Your Majesty will feel much more at ease if you have classmates of the same age. Take good care of them.

At the request of the royal family, famous for their love for their youngest children, to support Esti’s academy life.

That was the only reason she entered the academy.

Shepor also accepted the order obediently.

​

There is no one in the social world who does not like Estee…

Because she especially loved Estee among them.

She’s dead set on anything small and cute.

-I can help the family and continue to take care of Princess Esti. That’s the best!

-That’s good. Then, talk to the Second Princess about the rest. It seems like she has a plan.

-all right!!

The reason Shepor was in the back of the academy today was also because of Esti.

Even though the academy did filter out the first round, there were still some bad students who remained.

She was using all the insight she had gained from working in high society to track down and expel such people.

With poisonous words and actions.

‘Really. Why are there so many people with such poor conduct? If I hadn’t been here, we would have been in big trouble.’

There were dozens of brown-skinned, blond-haired, rough-looking thugs she had chased away.

As her confidence grew, she started swearing at the girl who suddenly appeared in front of her.

‘It looks like something is wrong… That unpleasant appearance. It doesn’t suit the Academy where Princess Esti is. I’ll have to pay her some money to wash it up and send her back.’

“Did you crawl on the ground like a bug? You should at least wear proper clothes… .”

-Thump thump.

“Shepor Youngae. Long time no see?”

“… … !!!!!?”

…if I had known I would run into Estee, I never would have done it.

Shepor meets his lover at the worst possible time.

She couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

‘Wow, why is your Highness the Princess here?! No, more than that. Isn’t this the perfect situation for me to be misunderstood?!!!’

How would Estee have heard those words spoken deliberately in a harsh tone?

Why is she acting so upset in front of him?

There was no way she wouldn’t notice that she was being misunderstood as the ‘villain Young-ae’.

That’s why she tried to quickly handle the situation.

– In a hurry.

“Uh, Uh. Your Majesty. I don’t… Oh my?”

However, her face, which had been frozen in embarrassment, soon relaxed.

It was thanks to Estee’s plump cheeks.

“Brrr… Shepor Youngae, I haven’t seen you like that!!”

‘Ah, you’re still small and cute today♡’

Estee Tanen is the top predator in the social world who tries to pressure others.

However, to Shepor, one of the ‘real’ socialites, she looks like a squirrel begging for a cookie.

Shepor’s voice softened.

“What do you mean, Your Highness?”

“Did you see it all? You’re saying dirty and bad things to an innocent and pitiful girl!!”

-Remember?

“Wow, how could you do that?! That’s so bad!!!”

Estee’s hand, as big as a maple leaf, rested on her protruding lips.

A nonverbal expression used in social circles that means, ‘I’m speechless at you.’

The corner of Shepor’s mouth hung on his ear.

‘I know what you’re trying to do, but… your hand positions are wrong, Princess♡’

Contrary to the illusion that she dominates the social world, Esti’s actual social skills are at rock bottom.

To Shepor, a socialite and, as Estee would put it, a “veteran,” that gesture seemed like a cute joke.

But soon, her expression became a little complicated.

‘Well, I can’t help it if you don’t know.’

Originally, such skills were honed through enduring all kinds of humiliation in social circles.

But Estee had never had that kind of experience.

Ten years ago, after Estee’s debutante ball.

Because she has become the object of protection for all women.

‘That dog, even if I tear him to pieces, it won’t be enough… Ahem. Prince Louis did such a heinous thing.’

-Crunch.

Within seconds, Shepor glared at Louis.

A completely different look from when I saw Estee.

With eyes as if looking at rotten food waste.

At the same time, the tragedy of that day flashed before my eyes.

​

​

‘Ah, even thinking about it again, my heart… .’

10 years ago. The ball was devastated by Louis’s ‘you’re not ripe’ remark.

The gathered women decided to pretend that what happened that day never happened.

Regardless of faction, it was because I thought that a 10-year-old girl’s birthday and debutante shouldn’t end like this.

A day passes like that, and the ball is held again.

With everyone ready to praise her beauty.

Esti, the main character of the ball, walks out…

Her clothes, her hair… …

“… … Huh!”

‘Oh my, I almost fainted from shock again like that time…!!!’

Shepor, who was reminiscing about the past, let out a sigh and returned to reality.

At that moment.

It was because Estee’s appearance, which made half of the women in society faint and the other half burst into tears, came to mind.

She collapsed, her knees bowed.

“… As Princess Esti said, I think I spoke too harshly. ”

‘You must be superimposing yourself onto that woman. Poor thing.’

Thanks to the lowered eye level, Shepor and Esti’s eyes met each other.

Esti’s eyes are brimming with determination.

Insolently, his hand reached out and touched her head.

-Swish, swish.

“I was wrong, Your Highness.”

She apologized calmly.

I can argue if I want to, but I had to give in to Estee.

I couldn’t possibly stand the small, cute, and pitiful Esti.

‘That woman… When I look at her again, she’s just an ordinary girl. Why did I feel like she was a witch?’

———In addition, that dirt-covered woman who had been giving me the unpleasant feeling of a witch just a moment ago.

Because when she saw me again, she felt like nothing happened.

To the point where I couldn’t understand why they called her a witch or anything.

-Hehe.

“… … Hehe, I get it! Don’t do it again! ”

However, Esti is completely unaware of such circumstances.

Esti just smiled victoriously.

‘As soon as I say a word, they wake up! It’s me after all!!’

If he knew her true feelings, even the world’s greatest Shepor would not have been able to hold back his anger.

* * *

The argument with Shepor Youngae ended in my overwhelming victory.

“Then, now apologize to the most beautiful and lovely girl in the world. Hurry up!”

“… I’m sorry. I spoke too harshly. Are you hurt? ”

“Huh? Oh, no… I’ve heard that so many times that I don’t really care… .”

“Hehe. Shepor Youngae, please make sure that such unpleasant things don’t happen again!”

And then, as the victor, I proudly took the spoils.

What is loot?

Needless to say, Irene.

“He’s my friend now!!”

-slap.

“… … Yes?”

“Yes, no…!!?”

The original protagonist I’ve been searching for for the past few years.

After countless trials, the final witch who will eventually destroy the world is Irene.

I clung to Irene, who had become a little more neat.

With a proud declaration of friendship.

“Didn’t you hear? From today on, this girl is my friend!!”

‘If I leave it alone, I’ll be harassed here and there again. I have to live right next to you. … With Louis!’

“Uh, Uh. Huh…?”

Irene froze at my sudden declaration of friendship.

However, there was someone who was more surprised than her.

It was Shepor who had been harassing Irene until just now.

-Mumble mumble.

“Tch, friend. That’s something I’ve never heard of… Sticking so close to Estee-nim… .”

I was so surprised that my blonde hair, which was curled like a water pipe, trembled.

But, would I, a socialite, even bat an eyelash at the reaction of such a loser?

Rather, Irene and I rubbed our cheeks together as if showing off our relationship.

-Bubibubibubib.

“Huh, huh… ?”

‘Since we’re this close, don’t touch me from now on. Okay?’

Irene cringed even more, but anyway.

The effect of the provocation was clear.

“Those, those, those soft cheeks… I haven’t even touched them… Ugh!!”

-Bam!

“… … Estee, see you at the entrance ceremony!!”

In my teabagging, Shepor finally got up and left.

She leaves, driving away the servants.

She was so angry that she even had a handkerchief in her mouth.

Only then did I feel relieved and laugh heartily.

“Whew. Case solved!”

“What the heck is this… .”

“Ah, Louis~!”

Louis sighs when he sees that day.

I smiled proudly.

This lady has won a perfect victory in the social arena battle for your love.

How is it? I suddenly feel proud and think, isn’t it amazing?

-Hehe.

“… Sigh.”

What came back to my smile was an even bigger sigh.

“I know you like her, Estee, but stay away from her for a while.”

“Huh?”

“How embarrassing would it be if the princess suddenly hugged him and asked him to be her friend? Even at first glance, he’s a commoner.”

“… … Huh? Huh? ”

‘What, what, what’s with that look on her face? Are you already jealous because I hugged her? Is that the woman I fell in love with at first sight?’

The sigh meant, stop hugging Irene.

Even I, a woman, couldn’t help but smile at the sight of him being jealous.

Well, Irene is more feminine than me.

It can’t be helped that my younger brother, who has a firm taste, falls in love at first sight.

“If my little brother says so~.”

‘This, this, it’s only a matter of time before the two of them live happily ever after?’

That’s why I tried to get up and leave Irene.

I just went a little overboard in declaring myself a friend to Shepor.

Even if I think about it myself, it was a bit rude to hug you like this when we first met.

No matter how much I felt intimately close to Irene, I thought I knew how to distinguish between right and wrong.

…but,

-Thud.

“… … Huh?”

Irene had been frozen and unable to move since a while ago.

As soon as I let go of her arm, she pulled my arm back into hers.

That too, so tightly that my arms were buried between both of her breasts.

-Koook.

“… … !!!!! Sorry, sorry… !!!”

‘… Irene, was she really that bold to hug the princess?’
