Let’s go back in time a bit, to when the confessions began.

The other students in the auditorium all held their breath.

A handsome prince from a foreign country confesses to the 3rd princess who is rumored to like Prince Louis?

It was a special spectacle that could still be enjoyed as a drinking snack even decades later.

If I just said, “Sit down there and I’ll tell you a great love story about the high and mighty,” everyone would listen.

So everyone just held their breath and watched.

I wonder how this confession will turn out.

…but soon, they noticed something strange.

‘Huh? Prince Louis, why are you just sitting there?’

‘The prince even held the princess’s hand…’

Who should be the most upset about this confession? Louis.

Even if he had just pulled out his spear and said, “How dare you confess to my woman?”, it would have been considered normal.

Even more so because I’ve even been called trash and a bitch.

But Louis was quiet almost until the very end.

As if he had no intention of interfering with that.

In reality, Louis was determined not to interfere.

‘I don’t know what it is, but I just have to stay still.’

In Louis’ opinion, Estee already has three lovers.

There were three women possessed by the devil, including Irene, Shepor, and the maid next to her.

But should he, an outsider, get involved?

If it were just Estee and Louis, then maybe it wouldn’t matter, because Shepor is already fighting with his neck in a state of bloodshot eyes.

Irene is also timidly taking part.

… Then wouldn’t it be better to just stay still and let them show Estee how cool they are?

With this in mind, he remained still until the very end.

I was worried that I would end up taking credit for interfering, so I quietly cheered them on.

‘That Shepor is so furious. He’s quite manly… no, I should say quite womanly. He shouldn’t have looked down on Youngae.’

-Prince Louis, why are you just sitting there?

-You don’t even protect your own woman?

-Hey, that Blazer’s eldest son wouldn’t be that kind of trash.

-… No, right?

Louis has no idea that his reputation will fall the more he stays still.

One, fortunately or unfortunately.

His image was given a chance to turn things around.

“That Ferrado is the man who is truly worthy of the princess.”

“Tsk… .”

‘Tsk. I guess Vernon isn’t up to the task.’

Ferrado is a true prince.

If such a person uses his position to threaten, Shepor, who is only the second daughter of a baroque family, will have no choice but to be pushed aside.

If you are a prince of the Kingdom of Pelcia, you are treated almost like a duke in the Empire.

Besides, isn’t it a secret that they’re dating?

The princess is already dating us – unless we can say that, Shepor’s defeat was inevitable.

This was just Louis’s mistake, but anyway.

-Ugh.

‘The best thing would be if Estee refused, but… it would be hard for her. Do I have no choice but to get involved?’

Louis, who had been watching the situation in real time, sat up.

To protect the love between women.

“Get the hell away from Estee.”

“… This kid.”

Louis ended up confronting Ferrado like that.

A look of disbelief appeared in Ferrado’s eyes.

He was dumbfounded when a small boy, who was 25cm taller than him, looked up at him so boldly.

-Obviously.

‘This kind of person is a man? Ha. What does this kind of girly guy like, the princess?’

“Don’t you get off when you talk?”

“You, you should just shut up when I talk to you.”

‘Please don’t intrude.’

Louis, on the other hand, was not at all discouraged and stood tall.

Behind me, there are women who love each other… more like a harem than a cult. But anyway, there are women who love each other.

Because he had sworn to protect Esti, he couldn’t back down.

“Oh my, oh my, oh my… Irene, what is this…?”

“… … You’re quite handsome, Prince Louis.”

Meanwhile, Shepor and Irene blushed as they looked at Louis.

Louis, who rarely expressed his feelings towards his childhood friend.

It’s like he woke up and came forward for my woman.

Although he deeply regrets his past actions, he still does it with a heart-pounding sense of duty for her.

It was natural that favorability ratings would skyrocket.

…and finally.

‘What, what, you two are… hot!?’

-Surprise.

The main character of this incident, Esti, has barely come to her senses.

He was frozen in shock from receiving a confession from a man for the first time in his life, but returned to normal after hearing Irene’s compliments about Louis.

Red eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.

‘What is this situation? Why is Louis about to fight Ferrado…?’

Only then did Esti begin to understand the situation.

One, it’s better for Estee to figure out what’s going on…

Ferrado was the first to reach out.

‘I can’t help it. I have to show some strength.’

“… Get out of the way.”

-Whew!

Enduring his patience, Ferrado shoved Louis hard with the palm of his hand.

——Why, the chest.

-Squishy.

“… Hehe♡”

‘Ah, I’m screwed…!!!’

Louis, who had no intention of taking a single step back, was helplessly pushed back.

I thought I didn’t have to avoid it to this extent, but…

Come to think of it, he’s in a woman’s body now.

This was an attack that should never have been tolerated.

Louis’ face turned slightly pale as he realized his mistake.

Ferrado’s expression also hardened.

“… … Huh?”

‘Wait, what does this feel like…?’

Clearly, you pushed the guy in the chest, so at most you should hear a cracking sound like his ribs, right?

Ferrado’s eyes widened as he understood the meaning.

“Okay, wait a minute. You’re not… … .”

“———Geee!!!!!!”

Finally, a cute scream filled the auditorium.

It was Estee’s.

‘Why are they fighting… Gosh, all men are like that!!’

“Stop fighting because of me!!!!!”

Esti, who hadn’t figured out the situation yet, thought it was probably because she had been confessed to, so she just went ahead and did it.

Thanks to that, Ferrado’s mouth, which was about to spill the shocking truth, was shut again.

‘That desperate look, does the princess know about it too…?!’

‘Oh, Estee. Good job!!’

Ferrado was frozen in shock. Louis’s face brightened again.

But Estee had no idea what was happening just now.

My chest boasts a comfort that doesn’t waver no matter how hard I beat it, so I never dreamed of how serious a crisis it would be for a woman’s chest to be pushed.

After that, Estee went into traffic control.

-Thump thump.

“Louis, are you okay?”

“Uh, yeah. Me too.”

The first thing I did was to take care of Louis, who was pushed away in front of my eyes.

To others, it seemed like I was just obsessed with the man I loved.

… However, Ferrado, who should have been hurt by seeing that, was overcome by a different kind of shock.

‘It doesn’t make sense for a man to be so worried about his chest being pushed. No matter how affectionate the princess is…’

“And Prince Fedora. No, Fedora!”

“…!!!? It’s Ferrado. Princess!!”

“That’s it!! Anyway, violence between cadets is prohibited at the academy!? I absolutely hate those uncivilized men!!”

Hana Esti didn’t care and just quickly sorted out the confession she had just received.

Since I can’t say out loud, “You want me to date a guy? I hate that even if I die!”, I use the violence he wielded as an excuse.

Irene and Shepor were greatly impressed by the perfect response.

‘Even though it was a natural confession, you were so firm. You really love Prince Louis!’

‘I didn’t know that princess would speak so bluntly. She’s so innocent, so innocent.’

In the eyes of the cadets, the winner of this confession is clearly Louis.

It was natural that eyes looking at Louis were filled with admiration and pride.

… Although it was a bit sloppy for him to step back and groan like a girl because his chest was pushed a little, I guess that’s to be expected since he was far from manly in appearance.

Estee herself let out a half-hearted laugh, saying, “That’s me!”

Because of this, the only ones who were serious in this situation were Louis and Ferrado.

‘You didn’t just get caught, did you? It’s not that big, so maybe they didn’t get caught… .’

‘There’s no way the eldest son of the Grand Duke’s family is a woman. Does this brat have a sense of leisure?’

They said that the eyes they looked at each other were quite harsh.

* * *

The first confession I ever received in my life.

… It was definitely shocking, but it didn’t feel as bad as I thought.

There’s nothing wrong with liking something. Yeah.

I have absolutely no intention of accepting it.

-Whisper.

“Estie. You don’t have to kick me out… .”

“Oh, that’s okay. When I first met her, she was young too. Isn’t that what childhood love is all about?”

It wasn’t like he was just branded a pedophile like Shepor was.

Until five years ago, he was smaller than Louis.

It wouldn’t have been unreasonable for me to fall for the older sister role I had become accustomed to while dealing with Louis.

You can’t call someone a pedophile just because they loved a juvenile delinquent.

… Now that you’ve grown so tall, it might be a good idea to change your mind.

‘Well, I hope you find a good partner who’s your height. My dark sister. Except for Irene.’

“Then, a handshake of reconciliation~!”

The confession passed by without a hitch.

I arranged a reconciliation between the two Mojiri brothers.

The big boy and the small boy reluctantly held hands.

“Oh, over there. I’m sorry for everything. Did it hurt?”

“Oh, no. That’s okay. Don’t do that again. … And be careful with your mouth.”

“… Okay.”

The two apologize to each other, hesitating.

… That’s how scary it is to have a favorability rating of 100.

You were glaring at me like you were going to kill me just a moment ago, and now you’re apologizing so readily when I tell you to.

‘Well, then I guess I can keep her by my side. If you tell her not to touch Irene even a single finger, she will never touch me.’

“Then, even though it’s new, tell me about yourself, Fedora. How have you been?”

After that, I started listening to the situation.

I felt a bit cruel to confess to her so coldly and do this, but it would be better for her if I treated her like this.

As if that was true, his previously stiff expression slightly relaxed.

“… Ahem. It’s not a fedora, it’s a ferrado. Your Majesty. ”

“Anyway. How have you been? I heard you were pretty upset when I left without eating cookies.”

“… … … .”

It was a complicated and subtle expression on my face, but anyway.

Ferrado explained what had happened.

He fell in love with me at first sight and worked hard to become the man that suits me – that’s about the summary.

I was indifferent.

“Then you transferred to the Imperial Academy to confess to me? … I think it would be better for you to go back?”

“Eh, Estee…? Even so, it’s rude to say this to someone who just confessed to you.”

A firm rejection that left Shepor completely flustered.

Ferrado also seemed embarrassed and cleared his throat.

“No, Lady Shepherd. It’s my fault for confessing so suddenly.”

“Mr. Ferrado… .”

‘… Huh? What are those two?’

There was an unusual scent of affection between Shepor and Ferrado, but I decided to think about it later.

He glanced intently at Ferrado.

If you really came here just to confess, then go back now, you idiot with no sense of shame.

He noticed the silent criticism and cleared his throat once more.

“Ahem. There are other reasons.”

“What is it?”

“… This is a story I can’t talk about in public.”

-Ugh.

“I’ve set up a sound distortion barrier, so don’t worry. The three here are my close associates, so don’t worry.”

“If that’s what you want, Your Highness. Please keep this a secret.”

and…

Ferrado dropped a bombshell.

“——The last witch. I found her trace. Here in Abruen. ”

-Shock.

Irene and I flinched in surprise.

…Why is Irene here?

But that wasn’t the only surprise.

“That’s why we want to make contact with a certain being. ———The ‘Saint’ served by the group called the TS Brigade. ”

“What, what what what what what what!!?”

‘Why am I here again!!!?’
