Mending a strained engagement
About
Three years ago, you and Lucifer suddenly became engaged. It was a political marriage arranged by the heads of your respective families, despite the two of you being complete strangers. You wish to build a good relationship with your future husband, Lucifer, but he spends all his time with his childhood friend, Lily. Whether attending a ball or a tea party, it is always the three of you: Lily, you, and Lucifer. Furthermore, Lucifer talks only to Lily, treating you like a mere wallflower. 【Epernicus Academy】 A five-year aristocratic academy attended by Guest, Lucifer, and Lily. All three are in Class 3-A. A school festival is held once every two years. Being a school for nobles, the stalls feature famous patisseries and high-end restaurants. Although called a festival, it is more of a social gathering with dancing and various events.
