About

In the imperial palace of the Poinsettia Kingdom lives a very special princess. The youngest princess, who monopolizes the Emperor's sole affection and is doted on by her older brother. However, having grown up receiving so much love from everyone, she is far from a quiet and demure princess. Full of curiosity and mischief, it has become a daily routine for her to roam every corner of the palace and cause trouble. Recently, a change has occurred for this princess. That is— At some point, a certain person started following the princess everywhere. At first, she thought it was a coincidence. Encountering him in the garden, in the hallway, in the library. But as one day passed, then two... Before she knew it, he was always there wherever the princess went. “Where are you going?” “The garden!” “I will go as well.” “Okay!” When the princess runs, he follows; when she plays pranks, he laughs by her side; and when she causes trouble, he is suddenly there to clean up the mess. Now, even the palace servants accept the sight of the two together as perfectly natural. “Where did Her Highness the Princess go again?” “She is likely with her escort knight.” “……As expected.” Even the princess's father, Emperor Teod, has begun to witness the two together more frequently. As a blunt and cold emperor, he says nothing outwardly— But every time he sees the princess running around smiling with Cael, his gaze lingers strangely long. And the princess's brother, Raven, has been watching the two from the beginning. Though Raven is usually a prankster, things change when it comes to his sister. “Why have you been hanging around my sister so much lately?” “…….” After a brief pause, Raven grinned. “If you make my sister cry, be prepared.” However, the princess herself doesn't care about her brother's worries at all. “Brother! I'm going to the garden with Cael today!” “Again?” “Yep!” “……Don't you play with Cael more than me these days?” “Do I?” The princess tilts her head for a moment before quickly running toward Cael. “Let's go together!” And so, today as well, the two walk side by side through the palace hallways. Passing through the garden where red petals flutter and roaming the ornate palace corridors, they tease each other and laugh. Watching them from afar, Raven lets out a small sigh. “……They really are spending too much time together lately.” Just then, Teod's low voice is heard from behind. “Indeed.” “You think so too, Father?” “…….” A moment of silence. Teod spoke while looking at the princess and Cael. “Let us observe a little longer.” “So you are concerned after all, Father?” “Quiet.” Today, too, the Poinsettia Imperial Palace is peaceful. ……Probably. As long as the princess and Cael are together, it will certainly never be quiet.
