“Information Guild?”

When I told him the story I heard in the morning, Evan blinked as if it was his first time hearing it.

“… … So, are you saying that the Intelligence Guild has assigned a person to the Delkisi Lady? That too because she is related to me? ”

“Yes.”

Amelia answered calmly.

But we both thought it was a little strange.

If Evan was still a prince, and he was still friendly with me, and even gave me the impression that he had feelings for Evan, I could at least understand why he did such a thing.

But what does it mean to say that someone sticks with you just because you are close to your class?

“… … This is my fault.”

Evan said, rubbing his forehead with his palm.

“Even if you guess something?”

“There’s no need to think too deeply about it. The reason I came to you like this must have been the problem.”

Evan said while sighing.

“You’re sending someone away just by being friendly with them?”

“It’s a little different from just being friendly.”

Evan answered my question.

“The fact that I ‘came to visit’ is important. If a prince or princess of a country were to go there on their own without inviting someone else, they might feel a little strange.”

“… … .”

Now that I think about it, that’s right.

I was so used to Evan following us so naturally, mixing swords with us, and coming to the mansion even after training to have a cup of tea, that I couldn’t even think about it.

“… … I… … I’m sorry for the inconvenience.”

Evan said, chewing his lip slightly.

No, I don’t have to say that much.

Is it okay for someone who might become the heir to the empire to show such lack of confidence?

“Are you keeping that information guild person with you?”

“Yes. Would you like to talk about it?”

In response to Amelia’s question, Evan thought for a moment and then nodded.

“It would be difficult if a problem arose in the lives of the young children. It would be especially difficult if the reason was because of me. I would like to take care of this problem. ”

At Evan’s words, Amelia nodded.

“Gasp!”

That was the sound Becky made as soon as she saw Evan’s face.

If you had been observing the area around our mansion, you would have known that the Crown Princess came and went, but you would have never thought that you would encounter her like this.

Since he had the skills of a sword master, he would have been confident not to get caught.

“Are you a member of the Information Guild?”

At Evan’s words, Becky looked back and forth between Amelia and me with trembling eyes, but we did not respond separately.

Honestly, it was very unpleasant.

It wasn’t just me and Amelia in this mansion, but that didn’t mean there was anyone who could disturb the two of us.

In a sense, it could be said to be a home. Although I wasn’t going to stay here forever, it was still the most ideal place I could think of while I was there.

But if a guy who interferes like this shows up, I can’t help but get angry.

What about Amelia?

Amelia, who hugs me with all her might every night.

Amelia steals my lips every night.

Do I feel the same way as Amelia Donna? Do I think of Amelia Donna as fondly as I think of Amelia?

“Please, please, at least save my life!”

“That’s probably not what I asked.”

As Evan spoke, rubbing his forehead with his hand, Becky bowed her head to the floor and trembled, blowing out everything she didn’t ask.

It was commissioned by people from the Empire, not from the Kingdom.

He asked me to find out if it would be possible to bring me, a native of Delki City, with the Crown Princess.

And I was thinking about appointing someone suitable for me and continuing that bloodline to the nobles within the empire.

“… … .”

Evan had been able to tolerate the previous stories, but strangely, he couldn’t get over the last story.

“You tried to give Lady Delkisi a man?”

And it wasn’t just one person who reacted to those words.

Amelia was also glaring at Becky as if she were going to kill him.

“… … Del, the power of those from Delkish is widely known even outside of the Alwen Kingdom… … .”

Evan’s eyes looked at me for a moment, then back to Becky, who was lying face down on the floor.

“We still don’t know what will happen in the future, but does this mean that they have even set their sights on a noble lady from a foreign country? The lords within the empire are also trying to keep each other in check… … .”

Evan stared blankly at the ceiling for a moment, then waved his hand and said.

“Yes, I have heard everything. Of course, the disposition will be on the lady’s side, right?”

“Of course.”

Amelia said, looking intently at Becky.

Becky, not knowing how her words had touched the hearts of the two people, just trembled.

Still, I think he won’t kill Amelia. He already told me that he won’t become the villain Amelia.

Rather, I will think about ways to use it.

“… … .”

Evan seemed to have very complicated feelings.

I know that you think of me as a friendly person. As we talked about a little while ago, it is not common for someone the size of the Crown Princess to visit someone’s house just out of friendship.

We really just chatted about trivial things, but from the outside, you might wonder what was being said inside.

Especially since Amelia was here on behalf of the Grand Duke of Grattenmount.

“I… … Do you think it would be better not to visit here in the future?”

Evan, who had been thinking for quite some time, finally opened his mouth and asked.

I didn’t specify who I was asking, but of course it would be asking both of us.

This mansion belonged to Amelia, and the person who taught swordsmanship was me. If either of them objected, it would be difficult to call it.

At first, I wondered if there was a good reason to refuse.

“… … .”

Evan’s face was deeply worried as he looked at the two of us in turns.

The expression on his face as if he was wondering what would happen if I really told him not to come.

Amelia looked at me. Is she asking for my consent?

… … I am… … .

Well, still, I didn’t hate clashing swords with Prince Evan.

On the contrary, it was fun. After all, Adele and Lady Hoover were, strictly speaking, not my opponents.

However, we are not training in swordsmanship here… … .

“I’m okay.”

In the end, I ended up saying that.

Even if you end up regretting it, there is a big difference between regretting doing it and regretting not doing it.

Evan’s face instantly brightened at my words.

As expected, I thought it was better for the ‘princess’ face to be smiling than to be frowning and sad.

*

And then the night came again.

Evan returned home with a happy face, and Becky is still on pension.

My brother volunteered to watch Becky.

At first, I thought I was receiving too much help, but when I heard that the current situation was interesting, I was convinced.

I am also from Delqisi. I knew very well that there is no Delqisi person who does not enjoy this type of situation.

But I knew very well that my brother wasn’t going to rape Becky, so whatever.

We slept together in the same room as usual, Amelia’s room.

These days, we even change clothes in the same room.

In many ways, being naked, even if only for a moment, with our backs to each other turned to each other… … It may be a bit hard to say this, but it was a thrilling experience.

So we change into light, thin clothes and go into bed together.

Amelia snuggles into my arms as if it were natural, and I hug her tightly.

After chatting about nothing special for a while, I fell asleep—

—It doesn’t lift.

I just quietly breathe and pretend to be asleep.

Amelia checks my condition for a moment. Sometimes she even calls my name slightly to check if I am awake.

And, when he is sure that I am asleep, he sneaks up and lightly places his lips on mine.

When I took it off, I heard a cute little sound.

An expression of affection given to me that only Amelia knows—no, only she thinks of.

For a long time after knowing that fact, I was worried.

Is Amelia doing this because she likes me, or is she just doing this out of curiosity?

I was convinced that Amelia valued me in her own way, because it was evident from the way she treated me.

Just today, I left the judgment to myself.

I lost all authority to the highest-ranking person in this mansion.

“… … .”

That’s why I was worried.

During that brief moment when Amelia overlapped her lips with mine, should I continue to hide that I knew this fact?

Should I just worry about whether Amelia likes me or not, or should I even check?

And, I came to a conclusion.

Before Amelia left her lips, I opened my eyes brightly.
