Measles. (1)

“I know you have a watermelon chest and a married fox! If you’re more than ten years older than me, give in to me! In the first place! A girl who’s much younger than you… ! Boohooop?!!”

“Hey?! Hey!! Ah, I got it, so just shut your mouth…! Everyone will hear!”

Yuria, a brilliant blonde who rushes towards Princess Coti with her silky silver hair.

She was more surprised by the word ‘love’ coming out of her mouth than by the fact that her age and the fact that she had a child were revealed, so she flew at full speed towards the woman on the other side, carrying Rudis.

The movement at that moment was so fast that even the surprised Rudis couldn’t recognize it, so of course, there was no way that Koti, who didn’t have any martial arts skills, could react.

She began to protest by pressing her mouth and body against the chest and hands of the fox that suddenly flew in, and only making the sound of “Boo-boo!”

And, as Rudis stared blankly at the two women mixing and rubbing together, she thought.

‘… The princess found out information about her older sister? If it was my bad information, it would come out if you searched it, but the princess found out information about her older sister, who was the former captain of the knights of the kingdom and had never had any incidents?’

Something that can’t be happening.

She, Koti, is an outsider in this country, even among the royal family.

And that’s what she wanted, and it was inevitable because she wanted to have neither power nor people.

And in other words, even if she wanted information, there were very few ways to find out, if the princess used one of those few methods.

‘Her older brother, the Academy Student Council President and Crown Prince Elford Royal Labyrinth.’

The person she trusts the most. And the person who cherishes her.

The possibility that the Crown Prince had moved immediately comes to mind.

And if you think about it a little, it feels like a given.

The rumors about my relationship with her these days aren’t all that positive.

It would be natural for the crown prince, her older brother who cherishes her, to investigate the man who is either a horse bone or a dog bone attached to her.

And in the process, Yuria’s information was also leaked. If you think about it that way, it fits perfectly.

‘… So, the reason she keeps asking me to go out and date with her is because her older brother told her to do it.’

To be honest, I’m using self-hypnosis to control my emotions, but I’d be lying if I said my heart didn’t race when she kept telling me she wanted to hang out with me alone or go on dates.

Even the princess who wore heavy makeup and a bun of hair that she wore to look like a villain on purpose was considered beautiful at first glance, but now she has light makeup that only highlights her natural beauty, her hair is neatly styled, and her hair is slightly wavy at the ends, giving off a beauty that even feels noble.

It makes no sense to tell me not to get excited when such a beautiful woman tells me she wants to go on a date with me.

‘Oh my, I was hoping for a bit of a green light.’

I let out a soft sigh, feeling like I really have no connection with love or women, neither in my past life nor in this life.

For some reason, I opened my mouth with a slightly awkward smile after quietly patting my older sister’s shoulder while she was fighting on equal terms with her level 5 martial arts instructor who was suppressing me with her strength and while she was grinding her teeth and trying to bite my chest.

“Sister, stop it. Your Highness, you shouldn’t be making that noise with your teeth. You’ll ruin your beautiful teeth.”

“Wait a minute. Princess, you shouldn’t be yelling now?”

“Whoosh!”

The older sister’s pocket of consideration and the princess’s pocket of pride are tightly connected, and when the princess takes a deep breath there, it is truly a spectacle like no other.

If a teenage boy saw this, he probably wouldn’t be able to get up from that spot for 30 minutes.

Anyway, it was a shame to erase with my own hands the enormous scenery of that man’s limited wide-area CC skill, but self-hypnosis isn’t invincible anyway.

I slowly put the two of them away, and the princess was still glaring at me and my older sister, raising her eyebrows as if she was dissatisfied.

“Whew!Whew! The girl can’t give in! The two of you are going to go play no matter what. The watermelon married woman already went to play once. Give in! “

“Huh! That’s right~ The original promise was to go to the government office to check the trait level. I think Rudis has the choice to decide the schedule after that, right? Right?”

“That’s right. So I’ll do as you say, Princess.”

“Look~ Me too… ?”

“Wow… ?”

If there’s a crown prince behind you, you have no choice.

I want to live quietly in the Empire and at this Academy, graduate, get a proper job, and spend the rest of my life there. I can’t afford to get caught by the Crown Prince and get kicked out again.

When I answered with that conclusion, Sister Yuria felt that her ears were wrong and started to brush her cute fox ears with her fingers, and the princess tilted her head as if she didn’t understand what I was saying for a moment, but then gradually her jewel-like crimson eyes widened and she began to smile like a flower in full bloom.

“Ahhh!! As expected from a commoner! I believed in you!!”

“Okay, wait! Rudy…!!”

When I waved my hand slightly to my sister, who was trying to ask me a question while holding me back, to let her know that I would answer later, she seemed annoyed by the question at the time, wagging her tail and furrowing her eyebrows, but soon nodded.

The princess was so happy that she didn’t even care that her short skirt was showing, so she got up from her seat and started jumping around.

“Woohoohohohoho! Okay~ It’s just a girl and a commoner dating~ Since it’s the girl’s first date~ The commoner should also be well prepared to escort her, right? Got it! “

“Haha. Yes.”

I thought her flower-like smile was really cute, but somewhere in my heart, I felt a strong sense of regret.

Obviously, my date with her that day won’t be a very enjoyable one.

‘Yeah, what kind of topic are you talking about, the princess? You have to know the topic.’

“Woohoohong~ That day will be really fun!”

“… … “

Now, looking at her, who was spinning around like a ballerina and smiling, I smiled a little bitterly and began to think about what I should say to the crown prince to sort out the situation.

-Peeet!

“Swoop, hoo… “

Brown eyes and a tall, muscular body, Harb Hoppen turned his back after swinging his sword for the last time in training today.

“Here you are.”

“Thank you, Loretta. You didn’t have to wait.”

“No. We haven’t had much time alone together lately. So I like being with Harub like this.”

And Loretta Rohrich, a small, brown-haired girl who handed him a towel first as he returned to the bench to wipe off the sweat.

She had been feeling a little sorry for not being able to meet Yuria, who had recently become her fiancé’s teacher, because he was training every day.

But lately, Harb has been doing a lot of things on his own without having to train with her, and thanks to that, he’s starting to have time to stay by her side and wait for her, so he thinks his happy daily life is back.

“Hmm… By any chance, was what you were talking about our side?”

“…? What did that blind bird say?”

“, Loretta. But you are our benefactor… “

“I’m saying this because you’re my benefactor. Otherwise, I would’ve said something worse.”

Loretta also did not forget the help she received from him and her.

Rather, he is truly grateful that he was able to solve his family problems, more specifically his brother’s problems, and even saved his life in front of Bycon.

However, I couldn’t help but feel my teeth chatter just looking at Rudis’ stuffy actions.

Anyone could see that Yuria was single-mindedly devoted to Rudis, and although he himself was not uninterested in her, it felt like he was always keeping his distance and dealing with her from one step behind.

Moreover, recently, he has even seduced the princess and is repeating similar actions. Watching him from the side makes me feel like I am eating a thousand sweet potatoes at once, and it is so frustrating that I want to swear at him.

“But is it true? Both the Master and the Princess like you?”

“Do you want to get the title of Harvey’s Eyeless Bird?”

“That, that’s right. My only love was Loretta… “

Her fiancé’s answer really makes Loretta feel like this man is similar to that man.

If Harve hadn’t been a noble, or a genius with the Auror trait, or if it hadn’t been a political engagement, how long would it have taken her to turn her back on this man?

Just thinking about it fills me with fear and dread.

“Sigh. There’s nothing I can do about the person I fell in love with losing.”

“Uh, huh? What are you talking about?”

“Our Harve is also a coach with a keen eye.”

“… Sorry.”

After meeting Yuria, Loretta seemed to have become a little more assertive. Harb felt very happy to see her, who used to be timid, become so confident. However, he also began to feel a little scared because he could naturally imagine a future where he would be crushed by her small butt after they got married.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I have no choice but to not marry her.

“Oh, right. I gave you a meal voucher for our restaurant before so you could go on a date with your teacher and brother. Do you think it went well?”

“… Did you give that away? If Harb used the meal ticket from the restaurant he got back from his brother, they would have found out that Harb is a rich bong. “

“Bong, Bong… “

“Harb. That Rudis guy is kind, but he’s not just kind. He’s cold-blooded enough to take out what he can, raise what he can, and cut off what he doesn’t like. That’s why the tomboy princess and the beautiful woman Yuria fell in love with him. So don’t let your guard down, Harb. You never know when it’ll suck your spine in. “

“Uh, uh.”

Harb nodded his head, although he didn’t understand half of Loretta’s advice, who had already started helping her man, and Loretta, who understood well enough that he would do the same, grabbed his hand, thinking that she had to pull herself together.

So when the training was over and the couple was chatting for the first time in a long time, they were about to leave the training ground.

-chuck.

“Are you Harb Hoppen?”

“!”

“Eek… !”

A blond, bespectacled man suddenly appears at the entrance.

The president of the Academy Student Council and the crown prince who is considered the next supreme ruler of the empire. Elford Royal Labyrinth.

Harb, surprised by his sudden appearance, took a half step back, and Loretta naturally hid behind him.

“I guess I surprised you. Sorry.”

“Oh, no! Harb Hoppen, the second son of the Hoppen family, meets the Crown Prince of the Empire…!”

“Ah, it’s okay. Don’t be formal. I’m not the crown prince today, I’m just the student council president, your senior, and a ‘big brother with a younger sister’ who came to visit you for a moment.”

“… Yes?”

And Harve, who had been bowing his head to his continued story, and Loretta, who had been hiding behind him and mumbling, also tilted their heads as if they were wondering.

But Loretta thinks about what he meant when he said at the end that he had a younger sister.

‘No, no way. It can’t be, right…?’

“Do you two have some time? If not, tomorrow would be fine, but I won’t take too much.”

“Oh, that’s fine with me now… “

“No problem for me too.”

“I see. Then, would you like to come to the student council with me for a bit and have a cup of tea and chat?”

The crown prince, who had invited them quite politely, began to walk first, waving his hand in the direction of the student council as if to invite them to go together. As Harv and Loretta followed behind him, he slowed down his pace a little to be considerate of their hasty pursuit, and then began to speak.

“I understand that you two are quite close friends with a man named Rudis from the Black Magic Department, is that right?”

“Oh, yes. Hyung… I know Mr. Rudis.”

The crown prince, who got straight to the point, asked the question.

And looking at him like that, Loretta thinks.

‘Again, again, again! Seriously, I’m getting involved with that guy and the incidents just keep happening…! This time, it’s the crown prince?!’

“I see. So you’re saying that they’re close enough to be brothers.”

“Ah, that. Yes… “

“Oh, don’t panic. I’m not trying to interrogate you or do anything to that Rudis guy. It’s just… Hmm? I think the little lady over there knows what I’m trying to ask?”

“Ugh… Oh, is this perhaps about the relationship between the princess and Miss Rudis…? “

“Oh, that’s quite an insight. Right. My sister seems to have been sick recently.”

“Huh? No way… You were fine this morning too.”

Loretta waited for the Crown Prince’s next words, thinking that she had realized too late that there was another blind bird around her.

“Haha! Of course, my body is healthy. I even get a health checkup every month. It’s not that, it’s a disease of the mind.”

“Huh? A mental illness, what the heck… “

“Harve, it’s my first love. They say the heartache from first love is like measles.”

“Haha. Right.”

“… … “

With Harbman unable to keep up with the conversation between Loretta and the Crown Prince, the appropriate questions about Rudis continued all the way to the student council room.
