Liam-kun sent me a kiss on his way out. That alone soothed my aching stomach.

「But still, a direct request from the Lord of a country, what did you do, Missy?」

Gaspar said as he dutifully returned the cushion I had thrown to the sofa.

「Oh, you didn’t know about this, did you, Gaspar-dono?」

And Ryniel-sama seems surprised.

「Is it really that famous?」

「Nhn, I wonder if this is a well-known story among the nobility.」

「It’s the reason why Myra-sama is married to His Majesty.」

Gaspar twists his head when I answer him so.

「It wasn’t much that I did, you know? I just gathered a little information, gave a little advice, and did a little backdoor work.」

When I think back to those days, I don’t remember doing anything special.

「Was it that little action that caught the attention of Queen Quanda, who was the first princess at the time?」

「Well…, I guess you could say that, huh?」

Or perhaps it is more accurate to say that I was forced to go along with them, rather than that they caught my eye.

「I don’t understand more and more!」

Gaspar, who is sitting slumped in his chair, tilts his head further as he folds his arms. That’s right. If he could understand this explanation, how much of a genius would he be?

「Nhn—… It’s not something I talk about too openly, but you know that the current Queen of Quanda used to be His Majesty’s fiancée, right?」

「Well, yeah. The soon-to-be bride was the Crown Princess, and there was a big fuss among the commoners about it.」

「Why, then, did the then first princess become the Crown Princess after breaking off her engagement?」

「That’s right… Usually, it would be that she got sick or was disinherited due to some problem.」

Neil, tilting his head the same way Gaspar did, replied.

「In a way, you’re both right.」

Remembering those days, I let out a sigh.

「The disease was what is commonly known as『love sickness,』and in order to make love work, the problem was that she had cast suspicion on her childhood fiancée and planned to break off the engagement, which the fiancée blamed on the other party.」

「Couldn’t he have just broken off the engagement as usual and then made a new one with the woman he wanted?」

They think so, huh. It may not be that easy, but if he really wanted his love to be fulfilled, he had the status and power of a crown prince, he could have found any number of ways to do so.

「The woman he met was a commoner. At that institute, they admit the best and brightest from the commoners as special students.」

「Hahah. That sounds like a dream story. A love story between a commoner and a prince, that would make women and children happy, wouldn’t it?」

Then Gaspar turned his gaze to the ceiling as if in thought for a moment.

「…Dreaming, or is it the same for the Crown Princess?」

That’s right. Although they differ in that he is the Crown Prince and the 2nd Prince, a woman from a commoner background fell in love with royalty. And at the same time.

「That’s a strange story, isn’t it?」

「Well, this one is a success story. And the other one is a failure story.」

「Then, if she was adopted by a noble like the Crown Princess, she could have become the Crown Prince’s fiancée, right? If she’s a special student, then she must be very talented.」

「It’s not that easy. It is impossible for a woman without a queen’s education to act as royalty, no matter how talented she is, you know?」

「But being the Crown Princess is still a Crown Princess, right?」

Yes, but it is totally different from her.

「The Crown Princess was recognized because she was the Crown Princess.」

That’s all I can say. I racked my brains as to what to say to Gaspar, who looked unconvinced.

「First of all, the beginning is different.」

It was Ryniel-sama who came to the rescue.

「The queen, though from a commoner background, was adopted by a Baron family when she entered the academy because her mother remarried, okay? But she entered the academy as a commoner.」

「How is it different?」

Even if there is no difference in being from a commoner background, there is a big difference between being enrolled in the Royal Academy of Gran Country and the Quanda National Academy with the understanding that you are a noble and not.

「The relationships at the school and academy are the epitome of socializing. Unfortunately, that perception doesn’t change for women who enter the academy as commoners, just because they have been adopted by a noble family. So many aristocrats register and adopt the children of their remarriages before they enter school.」

An example of this is the Crown Princess.

Although she was able to call herself a noble before entering the school, her life at the school was far from stable.

「Besides, her fiancée at the time was a wonderful young lady, and a perfect match for the Crown Prince.」

It’s also different from there in that the royal brother, who was the second prince at the time, didn’t have a fiancée.

「Ah, so that’s where the suspicion comes from.」

“Finally understanding it,” Neil nodded deeply. But Gaspar still kept his head tilted.

「But, even if they are suspected of something wrong, a commoner can’t become a Crown Princess, can she? Doesn’t that make no sense?」

「Oh my, Gaspar, you hit the nail on the head.」

As Gaspard said, a commoner woman, not the daughter of another high-ranking noble who would have been suitable as the Crown Prince’s consort, would have been addressed to his fiancé instead.

「As it is, she will never be the Crown Prince’s fiancée. But she will be if she was deemed worthy of being the Crown Prince’s consort. That’s all she needs to do.」

「How?」

I’m not sure what to think. I’ve already got the answer.

「False suspicions, well, false accusations. It’s only convincing if it really happened. Because if it’s not tried as a crime, it can’t be dropped.」

Even when I was falsely accused, they were able to do it because of the actual loss of jewelry.

「As Crown Prince, he had access not only to the budget given to him, but also to the treasury.」

「「Haah!?」」

Both Gaspar and Neil are stunned with their big mouths open in apoplexy.
