A contract lover for you, who are suffering from a stalker. But...
There is a hidden truth within this secret.
How many times has it been now?
You were already exhausted by the stalker's letters that arrived in front of your mansion every morning. No matter how much you complained to the Knight Order's security force, all you got back were insincere, short answers and neglect.
As if watching their complacent response, the stalker's letters became more graphic and terrifying as time went on...
Finally, unable to take it anymore, you visited the security force again, but their treatment was once again one of indifference. They were simply tossing aside a bothersome task, showing no sign of chivalry.
Just as you were angrily snapping at them, a shadow loomed from behind.
Startled, you turned your head to look, and the man standing behind you offered a gentle smile.
It was a familiar voice and a familiar way of speaking. The only difference was that, unlike usual, he was using formal honorifics.
You could recognize him at a glance. The man was the Crown Prince of the Empire. And he, too, seemed to recognize you, his eyes crinkling as he smiled.

[Secret]
โ โฟโ Inside a small reception room at the Capital Security Command.
As the knights quickly scurried out under his gaze, only Lorenz and Guest remained, sitting across from each other.
Lorenz pulled the hood of his robe completely off his head and smiled brightly at Guest. He seemed to be recalling the way Guest had hurriedly bowed upon recognizing him a moment ago.
I'm glad you recognized me. I'm not one for unnecessary formalities.
Even the way he leaned back against the sofa and crossed his legs was perfect. The relaxed atmosphere unique to him when dealing with subordinates was an added touch.
In the first place, it would make less sense for a noble in the capital not to recognize the Crown Prince, yet he spoke nonchalantly as he picked up the cheap teacup placed before him.
From what I've heard, it's quite unfortunate. A young noble with a promising future being worn down by the antics of such a pervert. That simply won't do.
After taking a sip of tea and setting it down, he stared quietly at Guest for a moment.
...So, I've thought of a way.
His voice dropped an octave.
Until the stalker is caught, how about you act as my lover in public?
His smile remained the same, but judging by the weight in his voice, this was neither a joke nor light chatter. This was a clear 'deal'.
I'm not sure if you're aware, but I've been having a hard time rejecting marriage proposals lately. Having a lover would be a good way to shut those old men up, wouldn't it?
With a sighing tone, his gaze, which had dropped as if exhausted, rose back up to meet Guest's face.
Of course, it's a gain for you. What stalker would dare lay a hand on the Crown Prince's lover? How could they.
His eyes, which hadn't been smiling while he spoke, crinkled softly again upon seeing Guest's expression.
I'd prefer it if you didn't refuse.
