I thought it would be a little uncomfortable because she was so honest, but the enjoyable night with Estelle, who was quite gentle, passed like that, and it was finally time to meet the main character, the crown princess, Iris.

Her visit was quite early, just before dawn, when farmers were just getting up to start their farming.

“Imperial Moon, meet Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess.”

My family isn’t aristocratic or anything, so we don’t have any manners or anything like that, but at least we all know how to greet each other.

There is a simple etiquette that states that after greeting, you should wait until the higher-up says it is okay to raise your head, and this is very true.

It’s so strange that our parents, who are so old, have to bow their heads like that to people who are much younger than them.

Oh, of course. It’s not like this never happened in my past life, though.

It was the same in my previous life.

The only difference was whether status was visible or invisible.

“Ah, that’s okay. Everyone, raise your heads comfortably.”

And when I first heard the Crown Princess’ voice, I thought it was more gentle and soft than I had expected.

Of course, the Crown Princess is originally that kind of character.

I always thought of him as an emotional monster who hid his feelings well and was refined even when fighting.

The only people who showed such well-hidden emotions in the game were saints or saints.

So, it was a game where the two bickered a lot, but also grew fond of each other and fell in love.

“I saw that the crops were growing well on the way here. It was really beautiful to see. You guys are great farmers.”

“Oh no. I just worked hard.”

The Crown Princess, who hid her emotions well and always spoke in an aristocratic manner, never got to the point first.

It was amazing to see how they spoke to mere commoners with such courtesy, such as making light small talk and asking how they were doing. It felt like a very restrained beauty and I was amazed.

“I’ve also prepared a meal. You’re going to the market, so how about eating first?”

“Ah, thank you for inviting me. I’ll eat and go. But before that, I want to know where the saint is.”

She accepted the dinner invitation with a smile, without even turning it down, but it was more than 30 minutes after she arrived here and started talking that she finally got to the main point.

“Ah, Estelle… No, it seems the saint is still sleeping. Theo, go and check.”

“Huh? Oh, okay. Okay. ”

The moment I was about to walk to the room where Estelle was sleeping, I was given the mission of just standing behind my mother.

“No. If she’s still sleeping, there’s no reason to wake her up. Let’s wait while eating until the saint wakes up.”

“Oh, really? Then I’ll bring out the food. My living room is a little messy, and I’m not sure if you’ll like the food.”

“Don’t worry about that. I just don’t know what to do with myself because you’ve treated me so warmly even though I came suddenly.”

It’s a conversation that could be very pretentious, but the tone coming out of the Crown Princess’s mouth, Iris’s, is probably sophisticated.

It doesn’t feel pretentious at all.

Rather, it feels like he is really sorry.

“Then Theo, you go and keep His Majesty company. Mom will quickly prepare the table.”

“Huh? Me? Wouldn’t it be better if Mom did it and I prepared it?”

Suddenly, the Crown Princess’s friend was talking, so I asked her, thinking that it wouldn’t be better for my mother, who was doing well, to do it, but all I got in return was a back smash.

Crack-!

“Oh no!”

“You’re the same age as me, you punk! Wouldn’t it be fun for His Majesty to talk to someone of the same age!”

“Oh my, that lady’s hands are really spicy… .”

As I approached Hwang Tae-yeo while grumbling.

“Phew… Um, sorry for laughing. I thought it was a fun house.”

She smiles and looks back and forth between her mother and me, then clears her expression again.

That expression just now was probably not her usual smile, but rather a genuine smile.

“It’s just an ordinary farmer’s house.”

“Still, it’s fun. And it’s warm. It’s good.”

I thought I liked Estelle yesterday, but now that I see the Crown Princess like her too, I feel a bit strange.

Of course, I also know that my house is a very warm and ordinary, nice house.

Because it was the ideal family environment that I had dreamed of and wanted to have.

But even so, I don’t really understand why the two people in high positions are making such envious expressions when they can freely eat what they want and do what they want.

“My mother passed away when I was young, so whenever I see my peers spending time with their mothers, I feel envious.”

The empress who gave birth to Iris died young?

This is also a story that doesn’t appear separately in the game.

No, I thought about this a bit.

If you think about it, the game itself is a story set after the two main characters meet, so things like the background or past history before that aren’t highlighted much.

There are occasional flashbacks to past events, but they don’t go as deep as you might expect, unlike a game with a dark setting.

“Of course the Empress is treating me well now, but it feels different from my real mother.”

But, because I’m hearing this story right before my eyes before entering the academy, I keep getting confused and thinking that this isn’t really a game.

“I’ve said all sorts of things to someone I just met. So, are you a disciple taught by the saint?”

“Oh, yes. That’s right. I’m learning magic.”

I try my best to suppress my confused emotions and nod my head in response to her words.

“It seems the saint is good at using magic.”

There’s something about that sarcastic tone that feels familiar?

It’s a way of speaking that makes you wonder if this is the kind of speech Estelle should have.

“Oh, yeah… Well, I guess so.”

“What are you learning with your goal?”

“I am aiming for the Academy’s civilian admission process next year.”

I have to stop you and Estelle from destroying the world by fighting.

“Oh, then we’ll be academy classmates. The saint and I are also planning to enter the academy next year.”

I was going to say that there is no one in the world who doesn’t know that, but I just stopped myself.

Well, whatever happens, they’ll just live in their own world and I’ll be living among the commoners for now.

“That’s right. I have many shortcomings, but please take good care of me, Your Majesty.”

“Haha, what else would you ask of me? I’m also a student. Well, how about we speak comfortably since we’re in the same academy?”

It’s clear that just a moment ago, he was speaking in a very classy manner, and anyone who saw him would think he was from a royal family.

“Huh? No, I haven’t even been accepted to the academy yet?”

“What’s wrong? It’s fate that we met like this. I hope we can be close.”

Suddenly, my speech became much more relaxed.

What is this… Actually, I don’t have a Bing-ui-ja buff or anything?

The same goes for the saint and the crown princess.

Why do the main characters keep telling me to be comfortable…?

“In that sense, when we’re alone, please call me Iris. Later on at the Academy too.”

It seems that before entering the academy, she thought it would be a bit too much to openly call me Iris in front of people, but it seems that she succeeded in gaining some leeway.

Well, but we have to become friends anyway, so do we really need to earn a deferment or something?

“Okay. My name is Theo, Iris. Let’s be friends.”

He lowers his voice as if to say that there is nothing to be embarrassed about and then holds out his hand.

“Yeah, Theo. It feels good to have a friend your age?”

Iris looks quite pleased as she shakes my hand.

Less loud-

And while I was talking to Iris about the project to become closer to her, I heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the room where Estelle was sleeping, and I turned my head.

“Oh, Estelle. Are you awake?”

In that place, Estelle opened the door and walked out, dressed neatly and wearing clothes that had been magically cleaned.

But overall, he’s neat, but his expression… why does it look like he saw something he shouldn’t have seen…?

“Estelle? Are you okay?”

As I was trying to get closer, Iris suddenly grabbed my arm.

“You seem surprised to see me. It’s okay, Theo. I’ll take care of it. ”

“Ah, Estelle… No, is it okay to speak so informally in front of a saint?”

“Well, what do you think? All three of us will be academy classmates next year?”

No, I mean, I haven’t even entered the academy yet, but of course I definitely will.

Anyway, I’m a little embarrassed because I haven’t even spoken to Estelle yet.

“Saint, it’s been a while. How have you been?”

“… Ah, the Imperial Moon… Hello. Yes, I’ve been doing really well, but I feel like I’ve been having a hard time lately. ”

“Any problem?”

“What is your relationship with Mr. Theo, Your Majesty?”

Huh? What does that all mean…?

Did that guy finally go crazy after waking up from his sleep?
