And truly surprisingly, the first thing Allen did when he said he would explain was to take off his clothes.

“Now, wait!”

I jumped up and tried to stop her, but Amelia gently grabbed my arm.

“It’ll be okay, Elsie.”

“Yeah, it’ll be okay.”

Evan said that and took a seat and sat down.

“… … .”

Allen bit his lip slightly and took off his dress.

And what we saw before our eyes… … .

“Really, woman… … ?”

Adele muttered absentmindedly.

Allen was not completely naked. She was wearing a thin one-piece dress underneath the dress that went up to her neck.

And the silhouette of the body visible underneath the dress was the silhouette of a woman itself.

… … Even the waist.

Because of the proportion of the pelvis, men and women differ in their silhouettes.

Although a woman can change her appearance into a man, it does not happen overnight for a man to have the same body as a woman.

“They said he had a bandage wrapped around his chest and a belly band around his waist.”

Evan said as if he was dumbfounded.

“I also faked it for several years, so thoroughly did I disguise myself as a man, Won.”

“… … When I was young, I thought of you as my ‘big brother’.”

After saying that, Allen quickly picked up the dress and put it on.

“Anyway, it’s over now, right? Allen has no intention of marrying Diane. He can’t do it right now.”

Evan smiled and looked at Adele.

“Ah… … .”

“Well, maybe romance is possible, but—”

“… … Please stop.”

Allen stopped Evan, who was trying to subtly tease Adele.

“Uh, no way.”

“Yeah, that’s true. We know you have a relationship with Diane, um, anyway.”

Adele opened her eyes wide and looked around the room, then Amelia opened the door.

“We all know.”

“How?”

“The last time I went camping, I saw them kissing.”

Adele’s mouth opened wide.

That’s right. If you look at it, we saw the moment when the two became lovers.

So, it was no exaggeration to say that I knew about their love story from the beginning.

“For your information, the Hoover family does not know about this yet. Since they do not know, they said they would get their daughter engaged.”

“If you said you knew—”

“Even if they knew, since Allen was known to the public as a prince, they would have just gone ahead with the engagement. The royal family has no intention of letting the public know that Allen is a princess. ”

But even while talking about such a serious story, Evan’s face was relaxed.

“If women marry, who will be the heirs?”

When Adele, who was shocked, finally came to her senses and asked, Evan shrugged his shoulders.

“Probably one of the royal family. Abama Maya Of course not, but if only royal blood flows, there are many reasons to reduce the seed.”

It was a terrible thing to even think about.

Of course, I didn’t get married out of love in the first place, but that doesn’t mean I got mixed up with someone I wasn’t even married to.

At least Allen and I got to know each other during training, but if the person who came in on the first night was someone I had never seen before, I would have immediately broken the window and tried to escape.

“It’s because we missed the timing to announce everything and the story got twisted. It was our fault for asking, so I apologize on behalf of you.”

“Sister!”

Allen shouted, but Evan still lowered his head.

“But, the fact that you came to tell me the truth means that you are willing to save Diane, right?”

“That’s right.”

“No way.”

“Yes, that’s true.”

Evan said calmly.

“Allen tried to show people that she was a princess.”

“Isn’t that too sudden?”

The proposal was so urgent that even Amelia asked that question.

“There is no better method than this.”

“… … .”

When Evan answered clearly, the room fell into silence.

Amelia and I had our own guesses last night, so we could just accept one fact, but Adele is probably very confused about this situation, because she heard too many things at once.

“You weren’t planning on revealing it at the engagement ceremony, right?”

Amelia asked with a puzzled expression, but when she saw Evan and Allen not answering, she touched her forehead.

“Everyone, no matter how much blood is rushing to your head, why not act a little calmly? If you announce that at such an important moment, the damage to your image will be enormous.”

“That’s true, but in the end, there is no opportunity to announce it other than that day. The royal family is putting all their efforts into the engagement ceremony. To be honest, Allen should be preparing as well. There would probably be an uproar in the royal palace because I brought him out.”

“… … .”

Amelia and I touched our foreheads at the same time.

“Allen… … Even if the princess is here, Diane is ultimately at the Hoover Estate, right?”

“Probably so.”

Evan nodded.

“Actually, I thought about sneaking it in and making the engagement ceremony itself invalid, but it would probably cause too much publicity to the royal family.”

“If that happens, the royal family will be in debt to Earl Hoover. On the contrary, the story becomes more serious.”

Amelia let out a small breath.

“This is because the side that refuses in any way creates a weakness.”

“… … .”

Allen closed his mouth and lowered his head.

Is it despair that even though the identity has been revealed, there are still a mountain of issues that need to be resolved?

“… … What if there was a flaw in Hoover’s work?”

The person who broke the silence was Amelia.

“Flaw?”

“The man who came to see Adele a while ago is from Count Hoover.”

At Amelia’s words, Adele, Evan, and Allen turned their heads this way at the same time.

Amelia slowly continued her explanation to the three people who were staring at her as if asking them to continue.

“My main job is to make medicine and feed it to women. I also sell it.”

The faces of the three people distorted in an instant.

“How do you know such information?”

“… … It’s the information gathering ability of the Grand Duchy, right? If you say it’s information you don’t want to use, I’ll stop talking.”

Actually, I only knew this because I read the original work.

“For now, let’s continue.”

At Evan’s words, Amelia nodded and explained.

“There is a field in Gavin Nam Writer’s Forest where plants that are used as raw materials for medicine are grown. There, they refine the medicine and pass it on to other nobles at a high price. They are probably using it themselves as well. It will have a great effect if you use it when you want to get married.”

Allen looked like he was going to throw up.

“And perhaps, of course, this is just a guess, but among the drugs made there, there are some lethal drugs that can kill people without much evidence.”

Amelia continued her explanation with a nonchalant expression.

“Whether it is a weak medicine or a strong medicine, it is not something that the Baron can manage alone. After producing it, there is a process of distributing it, and the Count takes care of it and introduces people. Even if he does not receive a lot of money, he can exchange the medicine. Just by seeing it, you can already eat it with strength.”

“… … Is this a solid story?”

“At least two things are certain: that the Gavin family uses medicine, and that the Count has consistently supported the Gavin family. The rest… … Is there a need to care whether it’s a guess or not?”

“Of course, if it is such a ‘flaw’… … If it had been before the engagement, the Count could have tried his hand, but if such a fact spreads as the engagement date has been set, it will become an issue.”

“And it would be even more so if the person who dug up the evidence was Crown Prince Allen himself.”

“Are you talking about robbing Baron Gavin?”

“That’s not true.”

Amelia said, lifting one lip slightly.

“Actually, in order to use the method I was thinking of, I need Princess Allen to take the lead.”

“What… … Is it a sound?”

“You said a while ago that you would reveal Crown Prince Allen’s identity at the engagement ceremony, right? I’m applying that a little bit.”

Allen looked extremely anxious at Amelia’s words, but—

In the end, I agreed to the operation.

Time passes and the engagement ceremony takes place.

… … Not silver.

It was the eve of the engagement ceremony.

If it were a wedding, the bride and groom would have been busy decorating the day before, and they would not have even shown the bride to the groom in advance.

However, the engagement ceremony takes place in a much lighter atmosphere.

Usually it is a banquet-like format, 3 days and 2 nights.

The night before, those who would attend the engagement ceremony gathered together and talked about various things, and the two fiancés went to bed a little early, then came back around the afternoon of the next day and had a light engagement ceremony. Then, they had a banquet all night again.

It was like that, so it was only natural that we would all get together like this the day before our engagement.

It was natural that Adele was loitering near Allen.

More than anything-

“Daughter Carlins.”

Gavin approaching us while talking to Adele was also what we were aiming for.
