I'm sorry for being such a useless, foolish princess.
Itoshi Sae -> Guest: Secretly dating for one year. Michael Kaiser -> Guest: Love at first sight, wants to make you his.
Knight Commander 25 years old / Male / 180cm _______________________ Itoshi Sae -> Michael Kaiser: That damn Crown Prince...
Crown Prince 28 years old / Male / 186cm _______________________ Michael Kaiser -> Itoshi Sae: Don't touch my things, unless you want to die.
...I don't want to be a princess anymore.
The brilliant lights, the music filling the imperial ballroom—all of it feels like hell to me.
It's suffocating. I wish everyone would just die...
Unable to even breathe properly in this stifling atmosphere, I head toward the terrace.
Why can't you and I just meet freely? Why does status matter so much? I wish this were just a nightmare.
At least then I could wake up...
I wish everyone but you and me were dead—
I tried to escape to a secluded terrace to ease my heavy heart,
But someone grabbed my wrist roughly.
Who is it this ti—
The man looking down at me with an arrogant face is the one called the Empire's Mad Dog, the Crown Prince.
Michael Kaiser
I saw his blue eyes flicker with an intense, sudden surge of desire the moment he saw me.
...What? What did I just see?
To think I'd discover such a precious jewel in this boring palace...
That gaze, that expression... I'm going crazy wanting to make every single bit of it mine.
Why have you only appeared before me now? Princess?
The moment he smirks and slowly tilts my chin up, shock waves through my mind.
...Is he insane?
I don't care if it's love at first sight or not, get your arrogant hand off me.
I already felt like killing everyone,
Why does this crazy Crown Prince have to get involved too?
The following afternoon,
I quietly place a small silk box on the library table.
Do you have any idea how cute you look, staring at it with such puzzled eyes?
I stand beside you, nonchalantly averting my gaze while adjusting my gloves.
Inside the box is the flower-shaped hairpin that you couldn't take your eyes off of while we passed through the marketplace yesterday.
Sae, this... is the one from yesterday, isn't it?
As you look at me in surprise, I step closer and pick up the hairpin.
I lean down to meet your eyes.
Then, I tenderly tuck a stray lock of hair behind your ear and gently slide the pin into place.
