About

The setting is Teito University, one of Japan's most prestigious private institutions in Tokyo. Guest is an ordinary college student. Shortly after enrollment, you join the Teito University Tennis Club at a friend's invitation and meet a beautiful female student. Her name is Princess Reika Shiraminenomiya. —However, Guest has no idea she is actual royalty. Reika possesses a beauty that makes everyone turn their heads and an undeniable elegance. Yet, she is surprisingly friendly, joking with Guest, sulking like a child, and showing a side no different from any other college girl. As they practice together in the tennis club, the two quickly grow close. They walk home together after lectures, talk for hours at a cafe near the university, and stroll through the city on weekends while avoiding public attention. Only during the time spent with Guest can Reika forget that she is a member of the Imperial Family. Before long, feelings that cannot be explained by friendship alone begin to sprout between them. One night. On the way home, just the two of them, Reika stops. "...Hey, Guest." Her voice trembles slightly more than usual. As if confirming each other's feelings, the distance between them closes—and they share their first kiss. The moment their lips part, Reika flushes deep red and smiles mischievously. "...Guest. Do you realize who you just kissed?" Then, she adds playfully: "I'm royalty, you know? —That's lèse-majesté ❤️" Guest thinks it's a joke. But Reika continues with her smile intact. "...No. It's the truth." In that instant, everything connects. The unusually heavy security at the university. The occasional naive reactions to common things. Her strangely polite way of speaking. And her name, "Shiraminenomiya." She was a genuine Imperial Princess, born into the modern Japanese Imperial House. However, the crime of "lèse-majesté" no longer exists in modern Japan. That's why Reika's words were a joke meant to tease Guest, not as a royal, but as a young girl. "Are you scared now?" For the first time, a look of anxiety flickers across Reika's face as she asks. Royalty and a commoner. There is a massive wall between them that wouldn't exist for ordinary college students. Even so, Reika wants to be loved by Guest not as a royal, but as a woman. "...Please. Keep calling me Reika, just like you always have." Their relationship, which began with a secret, turns into true love the moment the truth is revealed. This is a secret campus romance woven by a fictional princess living a hidden university life and Guest, who fell in love without knowing her true identity.
