That night.

My palm flew powerfully.

Towards Crow’s butt.

-slap.

“Heuheu♡”

“Are you satisfied with this?”

“Yes… ♡”

After a slightly feeble snap, Crow’s expression actually relaxed.

The expression on my face that had been frozen, knowingly or unknowingly, since this morning.

… It was Crow who did it, but now that I actually hit him, I feel really bad.

He continued speaking, gently caressing the area he had hit.

-Question question question.

“There’s no need to be punished like this.”

“That can’t be… ♡ Isn’t it because we worshipped the saint too much that the rumor reached that dirty guy’s ears… He deserves to be punished… ♡”

The reason Crow came to beg to punish himself like this.

That was because the word ‘saint’ came out of Ferrado’s mouth this morning.

It seems that it was quite a shock that the rumor about the saint spread even to the kingdom across the sea.

‘Yeah. I was surprised at first too. But when I heard it, it wasn’t anything special.’

But when I listened closely, it wasn’t anything special.

The reason why Ferrado seeks out the ‘Saint’ of the Thies Church.

That was to confirm whether the so-called saint was a true saint chosen by the Lord.

I can’t go into detail, but I heard that the saint is a great help in hunting down witches.

In other words, it was none of our business.

I’m not some kind of saint.

When they call me a saint, it’s just a fancy word for loyalty that comes from having 100 favorability ratings.

So there’s no need to feel sorry for nothing…

Crow was in a daze since morning.

He patted her butt to reassure her.

-Pat pat.

“It’s okay. Only you know that Sti is actually Esti. It’s okay to hear rumors.”

“Me, me alone… ♡”

“Yeah. Even if they search for the White Day Saint, it’s useless unless I step forward. So stop blaming yourself!”

“According to the will of the saint♡”

After my brief encouragement, Crow pulls up his pants with a relieved expression, as if he had just finished confession.

After that, I hugged her tightly and went to sleep.

‘The problem is not me, but Irene. How did you know that the witch was here? There must be another reason, since Irene couldn’t have broken the seal…’

My mind was so complicated that I fell asleep 20 minutes later than usual.

* * *

Meanwhile, Estee’s group also had complicated thoughts in their heads.

The best among them was, of course, Irene.

‘Were you tracked down because you slightly opened the seal? Tch. I was going to release the kid’s magic because you were doing such a strange thing. I made a mistake.’

It was impossible not to be disturbed that the kingdom that practiced theocracy and the main church simultaneously began to pursue him.

The seal that he had broken was really just a little bit. If we were to use a letter as an analogy, he would only have lifted the paper without touching the wax seal. How dare he track it down with that?

It was quite a pity for her, who had seen Louis struggle today and thought, ‘I guess I should let him go now.’

It wasn’t as regrettable as Louis’s having to live a few more months as a woman, but it was nothing compared to his own comfort.

That’s why she made a firm resolution.

‘I can’t help it. I have to stick to the princess for a while. I don’t know why, but my constitution becomes quite weak when I’m around the princess.’

…From now on, at the academy, let’s wear Estee all the time.

It was a promise that was expected to deepen Louis’ misunderstanding even further.

* * *

Meanwhile, Louis also looked up at the night sky and sighed.

“Sigh… .”

‘It was good that I was able to protect Esti from him, but it turned out that I was in big trouble.’

What filled his mind was this morning. The moment Ferrado had pushed his chest.

Just thinking about the feeling of those large, calloused hands, different from his own, pressing down on his soft chest gave me goosebumps.

…because I was worried that it would be discovered that I was a woman.

‘Estie said she wouldn’t be caught to that extent, but… I’m still worried. As expected.’

Estee said, “You wouldn’t notice unless you were looking at my bare skin or constantly poking around like I do,” but she couldn’t help feeling uneasy.

It was natural for me to stay up all night thinking about Ferrado.

He doesn’t seem like a bad guy, seeing as he loves Esti so passionately. The man who tried to find Esti on the first day of school was just that kind of guy.

Although Esti already has three masters and cannot continue on, it is clear that he is a good guy.

So, why don’t you keep it a secret?

He’s the guy who apologized honestly even after touching my chest.

I thought, “He’s a good guy.”

If Esti knew, she would have thought, ‘What, Louis, you’ve fallen in love with Ferrado?’

But fortunately, the mastermind behind it, Ferrado, guessed Louis’ feelings without misunderstanding them.

“Hmm.”

‘She’s not fat enough to be called a slender woman. She really is a woman, Louis de Blasére.’

Ferrado, who also has some medical knowledge, after careful consideration concluded that Louis had real woman’s breasts.

Favorability has skyrocketed.

‘I was wondering why he did that to someone as beautiful as the princess… but somehow. He’s short for a man, and he’s actually cute.’

The biggest reason Ferrado hates him is the verbal abuse incident from 10 years ago.

If he had been a woman, it would have been considered leniency.

At 10 years old, you’re still very young, so if a person of the same sex confesses to you, you might be shocked and lose your words. Hmm.

It was natural that he couldn’t accept the princess’ continued showing of interest.

I am a woman, so there is no way I can accept a woman’s love.

Looks like a girl? She was a girl in the first place.

What prevented you from confessing today?

But, he was my childhood friend, and if a tall guy like me confessed to me, I would have tried to stop him.

Let’s cool down and think about it. Even he thought today’s confession wasn’t that great.

Louis’s actions, once seen as good, are endlessly re-evaluated.

As a result, Louis was no longer an evil being who interfered with his love.

Louis is the princess’s childhood friend. He knows exactly what Esti likes and dislikes, and he’s someone who you can be close to without any problems.

‘I guess I’ll have to keep it a secret that Louis de Blasére was a woman. No, I have to look good for her.’

After much thought, Ferrado decided to keep Louis’ secret.

If Louis heard it himself, he would be grateful, but he would also feel wronged if he said it wasn’t like that.

* * *

Finally, Shepor.

She was the only one who didn’t notice even a single shred of the truth.

In other words, her point of view is the same as that of other public figures.

From Shepor’s perspective, what happened today was…

It was romance itself.

It was so sweet that it made my heart race.

– Busy busy.

“… … … ♡”

‘Two men fighting over one woman. It’s so exciting…!!! That Shepor, you like this kind of stuff!?’

A real-life romance drama that appeared like a comet in the Middle Ages when there was no decent reading material.

A prince and an archduke are at odds over the love of a woman.

The girl raised her childhood friend’s hand, but the prince didn’t seem to give up yet?

What will happen to the love triangle between the three? To be continued next day!

Shepor’s heart was stolen by Holladang.

So much so that I wish tomorrow would come quickly.

‘I want to root for her love affair with Prince Louis, but I also think it would be good if she fell in love with Prince Ferrado and was hesitant…!!’

“Mhhh… .”

‘No, this is definitely delicious!! While I’m at it, should I write about it? Since I have nothing to do at night… .’

Meanwhile, an unexpected talent that had been dormant in Shepor, the soul of art, was awakened.

Surprisingly, it was the most productive change that happened today.

* * *

Meanwhile, the Abruzzo royal family.

The emperor accepted the newspaper with excitement.

‘Seeing my daughter like this is my only happiness these days… Hmm?’

“———It’s war!!!! The Kingdom of Pelcia and Abruen are now enemies who cannot live under the same sky… Keuk!!!”

-dump.

An honest report from the uselessly loyal president. Ferrado’s confession that received major coverage.

The emperor fell down, clutching the back of his neck.

“AbbaMama, why are you suddenly making noises… AbbaMama? AbbaMama?!!”

“What is this…? Esti, I got a confession.”

“Yes!!!!? Hey, Elena. Show me too!!!”

The children were busy reading the newspaper without paying any attention to anyone.

It was a very happy everyday life for the Abrün royal family.

It wasn’t just the royal family that had high blood pressure.

-Ssss… .

“The guys called TS Brigade, how did they track us as soon as we moved?”

“… She was already watching us. Maybe that saintess had some kind of mysterious insight. ”

“Oh my god, you fake guy who just borrowed the name!!”

​

An abandoned house in the forest. The man with the upside-down rosary around his neck grabbed the back of his neck tightly.

Clearly, they were living in hiding so that no one could find out their true identity.

I lost one of my bases to a group of fanatics after doing a little bit of activity.

It was a natural reaction.

The mysterious old man ground his teeth.

“… I guess I’ll have to show you the real thing. Hey, I’ll also allow this bitch to be taken out. To be used for the operation in two weeks. ”

“Your honor.”

“Hey~ Should I go too? I’d rather just lie down and eat cookies~.”

“Just follow me, you pig.”

“Chee, bad words… Okay, okay, so don’t take my cookies away!”

In front of the old man. The man with his mask turned upside down and the girl with a sad face who had her cookies confiscated nodded.

And finally,

-Krrrr… .

[I won’t leave alone the humans who made me like this… I’ll dye the whole world in terror… .]

Beneath the high cliffs of the mountain, something terrifying was rumbling.

[———Reader.]

A dry, emotionless voice echoed faintly.

It was the night before the Imperial Academy’s midterm exams, two weeks away.

* * *

Two weeks have passed since Ferrado transferred to the school.

It’s midterm week again at the Academy.

“Irene. Don’t you feel like destroying the world? I won’t stop you now.”

“… … Yes?”

Esti has turned black.
