Welcoming First Morning with Beloved Fiancée
Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
“Hnn… ugh…” (Harold)
The sunlight streamed through the gap in the curtains, and I woke up.
Ugh… I want to stay asleep like this a little longer…
I pulled the sheet over my head and burrowed under it, but…
“…Ah.” (Harold)
I remembered what happened last night.
That’s right. I did something unbelievable. I ended up sharing a bed with Xandra. I let out all the negative emotions that had piled up in my heart. I wanted to lean on my beloved fiancée, who embraced me so warmly. In other words…
“Hnn… fumu…” (Alexandra)
…Well, of course, she’s sleeping beside me.
Wait, what was that “fumu” sound just now? It’s way too cute. Oh, just to be clear, I didn’t lay a hand on Xandra, okay? Things like that should be done properly and step by step. Believe it or not, I’m very proper about these things… Wait.
“Ah…” (Harold)
“Oh…” (Alexandra)
What do I do? Our eyes just met perfectly. She’s probably confused as to why we were sleeping in the same bed too… Wait, huh!?
“Xandra!?” (Harold)
“Hehe… Haru-sama’s scent…” (Alexandra)
Xandra clung to my chest, sniffing and enjoying my scent. What is this? What kind of situation is this?
“U-Um, Xandra… shouldn’t we get up soon?” (Harold)
Otherwise, my self-control will reach its limit. I hope she understands that 15-year-old Harold is, essentially, no different from a monkey.
“Mmm… I don’t want to.” (Alexandra)
“Ehh…” (Harold)
Xandra puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction and moved from my chest… to my stomach, sniffing there.
I must absolutely protect the things that are important to me.
“Haru-sama, do you want me to stop?” (Xandra)
Xandra peeked up at my face with an upward glance and asked.
Of course, I want her to stop to avoid any mistakes, but there’s also a rising desire to let her continue. What should I do?
“Well, um… yes. Things like this should… only happen properly after we’re… married.” (Harold)
Alright, I managed to keep my reason intact!
I touched Xandra’s small shoulders and tried to help her up, but…
“From now on, if you stop using formal speech like you do with Monica and Liz, I’ll grant Haru-sama’s wish.” (Xandra)
Eh…? Isn’t the one making a request here actually me? But, well, if it’s just dropping formal speech…
“Understood… I mean, okay. From now on, I’ll stop using formal speech with you, Xandra.” (Harold)
“Hehe! Thank you!” (Xandra)
“Whoa!?” (Harold)
Xandra leapt onto me, hugging me tightly.
This sudden closeness isn’t just my imagination, right… wait, huh!?
“Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?” (Harold)
“Hehe, it’s a marking. With this, no bad bugs will come near Haru-sama.” (Xandra)
Unbelievably, Xandra left a kiss mark on my neck.
Isn’t this a bit too much progress for just one night…?
Oh, by the way, Monica and Cas are peeking at us through the gap in the door, grinning at the scene. At this point, I’ll just pretend not to notice.

“Well then… shall we go?” (Harold)
After getting ready, I looked at myself in the mirror and nodded.
Now, I’m going to confront Margaret. About how she, my own mother, tried to erase me. About how she attempted to harm what’s precious to me.
“Monica, Cas.” (Harold)
“Yes.” (Monica)
“Yup!” (Casparleague)
Cas perched on my shoulder, and Monica bowed gracefully.
Taking one person and one creature with me, I stepped out of the room.
“Haru-sama.” (Alexandra)
Waiting in front of the room, my beloved fiancée curtsied gracefully.
“Yeah. Let’s go together.” (Harold)
“Yes.” (Alexandra)
I took Xandra’s hand and walked slowly through the royal palace’s corridors.
Our destination was, of course, the Crystal Palace, the residence granted exclusively to the First Queen, Margaret. Today, for the first time in my memory, I would step inside the Crystal Palace.
“This is the Crystal Palace.” (Harold)
I told Xandra as we stood before our destination.
Thanks to pouring out all my feelings to her last night, my heart feels so much lighter. So, I can endure it even if I accumulate more again… Wait…
“Haru-sama… have you already forgotten what I told you last night?” (Alexandra)
“No way. But that’s only when it’s just the two of us.” (Harold)
Xandra pursed her lips, displeased, and I chuckled softly as I whispered.
Also, I realized that dropping formal speech with her makes talking surprisingly easier. A bit of a shock, honestly.
“Well, it can’t be helped. Let’s finish this quickly… and have some alone time.” (Alexandra)
“Ahaha…” (Harold)
Seeing Xandra’s enthusiastic determination, I let out a dry laugh.
Am I going to be subjected to all sorts of things like this morning again…? But, it’s a little exciting. Anyway…
“I muttered to myself as I entered the Crystal Palace. It’s not a big deal.” (Harold)
The structure and decorations of the building were almost the same as other parts of the palace, and the furnishings didn’t seem particularly special either. By the way, getting inside was a bit of a hassle with the guards. Even though I’m the Third Prince and her biological son, they didn’t easily let me in. In the end, I resorted to a bit of force (“I’ll report this to Lord Drake!”) to get through.
And then…
“Eeeek!?” (Maid)
A passing maid screamed in terror when she saw us.
