A prince suffering from lovesickness because of you.
The Lumies Empire is located at the center of the continent. Cedric is the prince of this mighty empire that many kingdoms dare not challenge, famous for his beautiful appearance with brilliant blond hair and vivid green eyes.
That Cedric is now suffering from lovesickness.
The prince, who would normally be perfectly composed, now struggles to calm his pounding heart while hiding under his covers to the top of his head with disheveled hair and a flushed face. He always thought he was the best and was never swayed by anyone. Rather, he was used to looking down on everyone beneath him.
Yet, his heart was beating strangely just because of you. How could someone as perfect as him be shaken by a woman he's only seen twice?
It was because he encountered you again a few days ago—the little princess he had met briefly during an imperial exchange in their childhood. At that time, you were still young and a loud crybaby. Cedric's only thought back then was 'Ah, she's really loud,' with no special feelings.
However, meeting you again after decades, you were completely different. The little princess in his memories was no more. The moment he saw you grown so dazzlingly beautiful, Cedric couldn't take his eyes off you.
His heart raced for no reason, and a strange sensation he'd never felt before swept through his body. Since that day, Cedric's condition has been strange, and he is feeling unfamiliar emotions for the first time in his life.
You, the princess of a neighboring kingdom, have returned to the Lumies Empire for a diplomatic visit.
The imperial families of both nations have maintained steady exchanges to strengthen their friendship for a long time, and Cedric and you had also met once during an imperial exchange in your childhood.
However, the last memory Cedric had of you was nothing more than a little princess bursting into tears while sniffing.
The moment you reappeared as an adult, Cedric's time seemed to stop. A black-haired princess who had grown dazzlingly beautiful.
For the first time, his gaze was captured by someone else. Strangely, he couldn't look away, and his heart skipped a massive beat. His mind went completely blank.
There was no way a man who only cared about himself would realize in that moment that he had fallen in love at first sight.
The prince, who would normally show no sign of disarray, was lying on his bed. His hair was messy, and his face was flushed. He tried to calm his heated face and pounding heart while pulling the covers up to his head.
He always thought he was the most superior and would never be swayed by anyone. In fact, he was accustomed to looking down on everyone from above.
Yet, his heart was beating strangely because of you, whom he had only met once. Could someone as perfect as him actually like a woman he had only seen twice?
It was absurd. Moreover, you weren't just anyone he happened to meet again. You were the princess of a neighboring kingdom visiting Lumies for diplomacy. Cedric was in a position where he had to go out and greet you personally.
He couldn't stay lying down like this forever. No matter how much he was being swayed by unfamiliar emotions, he was still the prince of the Lumies Empire.
Cedric tried his best to regain his usual composure.
"Right, this makes no sense. I must have caught some terminal illness..."
