A palace-like mansion built right into the Imperial Academy.

Rumors about this mansion were already spreading.

It is said that the emperor loved his youngest daughter so much that he built her a mansion instead of a dormitory.

The third princess was mentally unwell and could not use the dormitory, so the academy prepared this.

It was said that it was the result of the princess’s cute whining because she wanted to spend time with Louis, the eldest son of the Blazer family, etc.

Freshmen, current students, and even professors have all mentioned the mansion at least once.

And today.

The scene where Shepor’s luggage is moved from the dormitory to the mansion.

Someone jokingly said this:

If things continue like this, there will be one commoner, one noble, and one royal woman in that mansion.

There’s a guy from Blazers who has a bad reputation here and there.

———Three women and one man? Isn’t this a total harem?

Of course, it wasn’t something to be talked about in public, so it was just a bad joke that they whispered and giggled about in secret…

If Louis had heard this, he would have thought this.

Even though he’s not the main character of the harem, they’re similar.

This mansion is a paradise where Esti shares love with her women.

‘Even so, it’s a bit strange for the three of us to do such things… That Estee girl, how much must she have been hungry for love to do this? I should cheer her on too.’

… It was just Louis’ own delusion, but anyway.

Louis was busy while the three women went to have a love affair called a bath.

The purpose was to keep the employees’ mouths shut.

“Huh? Prince Louis. What’s going on… .”

“Hey, you guys. The maids who serve Esti in her bath are all loyal to Esti, right?”

“Yes. All of us who were dispatched to the mansion, loyal to the imperial family… .”

‘Tsk. As expected.’

The reason Louis kept yapping about loyalty was simple.

If Estee’s tendencies were known…

Because the people of the empire would not recognize the love between women and would criticize it.

Because underneath that, her barely sprouting happiness will be trampled mercilessly.

Even today, didn’t you bring in not one but two people?

The moment the rumor spread, it was a disaster.

Being in a relationship with two women at the same time, not just one man.

It would not have been strange for the name Third Princess to be accompanied by modifiers such as “lily” and “prodigal.”

Of course, Estee must have also taken some precautions…

There was no harm in putting Blazer’s name on it.

That’s why Louis moved quickly as soon as the three of them went to wash up.

“Be loyal to Estee, not the royal family.”

“… … Yes?”

“Of course, it’s not like I’m talking about treason. I’m just asking you to cooperate so that Esti can be happy.”

“What is that.”

“You don’t have to do anything special. Like how many cookies you ate today… or who you took a bath with. It would be so frustrating if you had to report every little thing like that.”

A determined smile appeared on Louis’ lips.

“Let’s make it so that you can live comfortably and happily here. I beg you on the name of Blazer.”

“Ah…? Hehe. I understand, Prince Louis.”

‘You’re doing such a wonderful thing behind the scenes for the princess? You’re so handsome, considering you’re so little~.’

‘Do you think we even report on a mere bath between women? How innocent you are.’

… Of course, the whole homosexuality thing was all Louis’s fault.

Objectively speaking, Louis was just a cute prince who was acting up for Estee.

Only Louis didn’t know.

* * *

Meanwhile, inside the mansion’s bathroom.

The three of them are burdened with Louis’ worries…

I was just enjoying a relaxing bath.

“Whoa~ How is it, Shepor? The bathroom here is so nice, right?”

“… Yes, Estee.”

While the servants were helping her with her bath, Esti closed her eyes as usual and entered ‘do it for me’ mode.

Seeing that, Shepor had the most solemn expression on his face today.

It’s comparable to Louis shouting, ‘It’s not cooked…’

It was a natural reaction for her.

‘Shut your eyes tightly. You must hate yourself so much… I think I’m going to cry at any moment…!!’

Esti, as seen by Shepor, is a pitiful girl who cannot even think of looking at her own body while washing.

This was a much more serious trauma than she had thought.

I knew I couldn’t wear a skirt, but I didn’t know I would be able to face my immature body at all.

That’s why she was desperate to hold back the sobs that were threatening to well up.

Anyone who saw Estee that day couldn’t help but gasp at how cute she looked.

Even Vernon’s instincts were powerless in the face of overwhelming devastation.

Meanwhile, Irene also quietly observed the situation.

-Obviously.

‘Huh. I thought this was from that side too…’

I had some expectations because Shepor was so excited.

Now, everyone is naked.

Irene was convinced after seeing her reaction.

Shepor said he wasn’t particularly interested in homosexuality.

‘I guess so. Well, it’s not that common for a woman to like women. Especially when you’re a nobleman who has nothing to be sorry about.’

As she thought, this was true.

It’s true that the Vernon family can’t stand small and cute things, but that’s only because they’re focused on ‘cuteness’.

Liking something cute and liking it sexually are two entirely different things.

… It’s true that I like it pathologically, although it looks a bit beastly on the outside. Anyway.

So Irene just took a bath quietly.

If he had dared to touch the noble lady, who did not have such tastes, it was clear what would happen to her, a commoner.

-Obviously.

‘It’s a shame, really. It looks just like my taste.’

… Of course, I didn’t touch it. I did a lot of eye candy though.

Shepor was just sad without even knowing it.

-Mumble mumble.

“Poor Estee… .”

And Estee was just playing around in the water.

“Heung~.”

‘How much do you get from taking a bath together? Haha. As expected, I’m definitely the mastermind!’

The three of them, who seemed like a slightly dangerous combination, surprisingly finished their bath without any problems.

Contrary to Louis’s thoughts, their bodies did not touch each other at all.

* * *

After a refreshing bath, a bit of a scuffle ensued.

The cause was the clothes that the servants brought in in bulk.

“Princess, what do you think of this dress? I think it would suit you very well.”

“Ugh… .”

‘Louis is going to have a seizure again.’

Irene brings me all sorts of clothes as if I were a doll to be dressed up.

Her eyes were burning with enthusiasm.

The enthusiasm to definitely dress me up.

… I would be happy to wear it if Irene asked me to.

Even though it was a little awkward and uncomfortable, it wasn’t at all unwearable.

There is only one reason why I hesitate.

I was worried that Louis would do ‘Blézaire’ again.

The relationship between the two that we worked hard to improve today?

Louis’ ‘Undercooked’ one hit and it’ll crumble down?

That’s why I smiled awkwardly.

For a roundabout rejection.

“Hehehe… I don’t think someone like me would look good in something like this. Maybe Irene or Sheppor.”

“Someone like me… Ugh, Estee… What should I do, it’s so pitiful… .”

“… … ?”

‘Why are you reacting like that?’

Shepor covered his mouth and sobbed.

…are you sad because I don’t wear this?

Because I’m from the Vernon family and I like small and cute things?

I looked at her with dumbfounded eyes for a moment, then quickly accepted the dress.

‘Oh my. Louis, you’re going to have a hard time today.’

“Well, if I have to wear it… .”

-slap.

“Oh, no!! There is absolutely, absolutely no need to force yourself to wear it!!!?”

“… … … ?”

‘No, why is it a fuss even if I wear it?’

Shepor snatched the dress from my hand.

As I was staring blankly, Shepor soon nodded to Irene.

With his eyebrows raised high, as if asking what he was doing.

-Dori dori.

-Shrug.

‘… … What are you two doing?’

Shepor shook his head at Irene.

Irene shrugged her shoulders as if she had no other choice.

Then, the two of them turned their gazes towards me.

“I was a little hasty. Wear whatever you feel comfortable with, Your Highness.”

“Irene is absolutely right, Estee!! There is absolutely no need to rush!!!”

“Uh, uh, yeah… .”

‘Are they starting to resemble their older sisters?’

The way he tried to put the dress on her, then lost his mind and took it back, made her look like her older sisters.

But it’s strange to decline when they tell you to wear something comfortable.

I changed into my usual pants.

Irene and Shepor,

“Wouldn’t this suit Shepor? It would be cool and comfortable.”

“Oh my, these clothes… definitely look comfortable, but aren’t they too comfortable to wear to the academy?”

“So what if we’re going to be staying at the mansion from now on? Besides, the only man here is Prince Louis, right?”

“Well, then it doesn’t matter.”

We got together and changed into comfortable clothes.

On the first day, Irene wore a slightly low-cut dress.

… For some reason, Irene was giggling more than necessary.

Well, I guess that makes sense, since I have another noble friend besides me. Yeah.

* * *

Afterwards, we returned to the reception room and joined Louis.

We had a brief chat.

To kill time while waiting for Shepor’s luggage that he had asked his servants to move.

It’s all done in no time.

“Princess. Shepor’s room is ready.”

“Yeah, you worked hard~ Then should I take a break for today? It’s late, you know.”

“Haha. Yes, Your Majesty.”

“The room next to Estee… Huh, Huh… .”

Since we finished cleaning Shepor’s room, we decided to each have some personal time in our rooms.

The four of us headed to the second floor together.

‘Oh. Now that I think about it, I almost forgot this.’

“That’s right. Louis? Come to my room for a minute.”

-Stop.

“… … Why?”

However, while climbing the stairs.

At my sudden remark, the three of them stopped at once.

And then, to my next words.

All three looked back at me.

‘I’ve been feeling this since yesterday, but my younger brother is really a stone-faced person. So, this older sister has no choice but to be the number one instructor for girls’ hearts!’

“I’ll tell you about women!!!”

“… … … !!!!!!?”

The three of them had widened their eyes in shock.
