Giving Gift to Someone Important

“Ah… from next month, we’ll be second years…” (Lloyd)

Lloyd muttered as he slumped over his desk. It had already been almost a year since we entered the Royal Academy. Today, we were once again chatting like students in the classroom.

“More than that, I’m just glad that everyone was able to advance to the next grade.” (Harold)

“That’s true… thanks to Haru-san’s intense training, we barely managed to get passing grades on the year-end exams.” (Lilliana)

Lilliana smiled with genuine relief as she spoke to me. Though, both Liz, Lilliana, and Lloyd barely passed with just enough marks.

“Since the practical exams were canceled, everything depended on the written exams, and considering that, Lilliana-sama and Lloyd-sama, you both should be proud of your results.” (Monica)

“You’re right, Monica-san! So, Haru-san, I think you should give me a bigger reward (meat)!” (Lilliana)

“By the way, I worked hard too, so I would like a reward as well.” (Monica)

Monica, joining in with Lilliana, pushed her glasses up as she asked for a reward.

I really wish they would stop going along with this.

“I see… If Lilliana-san and Monica want a reward that much, I shall prepare it for you both.” (Alexandra)

“‘Eiiiii!?’” (Lilliana/Monica)

From sapphire-colored eyes, the light disappeared, and Xandra grinned, lifting the corners of her mouth. The moment they saw this, both Monica and Lilliana let out light screams.

Sigh… I knew this would happen from the start.

“Hey, hey, Xandra, don’t get so angry. It’s always like this with these two.” (Harold)

“Haru-sama… you’re impossible.” (Xandra)

I tried to calm her down by holding her hand, and Xandra pouted.

 My most beloved fiancée is just as jealous as ever today. She’s cute.

“Ahhhhh! What the hell! Always showing off like that! Explode! Rip apart!” (Lloyd)

For some reason, Lloyd suddenly started scratching his head and shouting.

I’m not trying to show off, but it seems that for Lloyd, who has neither a fiancée nor a girlfriend, seeing me and Xandra getting along was too much for him. He can watch more if he wants.

Well, Lloyd… does have someone he likes. Though, it’s a guy.

“I wonder how he’s doing…” (Harold)

“? Haru-sama?” (Alexandra)

“Huh? Oh, never mind.” (Harold)

When Xandra peeked at me with a puzzled look, I hastily tried to cover it up. It was only three months ago, but that person had already somehow become my ‘important people’, so I can’t help but feel a little conflicted.

Though…

“…I’m sure we’ll meet again soon.” (Harold)

But it will be as enemies.

“Your Highness Harold, the item you ordered has arrived.” (Monica)

“Finally, it’s here!” (Harold)

I jumped up from my bed in the dormitory, running toward Monica as she made a formal bow and reported the news.

Phew… I’m glad it made it in time.

“But, why at this time for a gift for Milady? Her birthday was two months ago…” (Monica)

“It’s fine, it’s fine.” (Harold)

Yes… this gift was absolutely necessary for me. It was a bit expensive, but there’s no helping it this time. Honestly, I wanted to get something even better, but with only three months, this was the best I could manage.

“Wow, that looks great…” (Casparleague)

“Hmm? Cas, do you want something like this too?” (Harold)

“Yeah! It’s so sparkly, it’s really beautiful!” (Casparleague)

“I see.” (Haru)

Well… Cas is my important partner, so I’d totally give him a gift. Still…

“? What’s wrong?” (Casparleague)

“No, I was just thinking, would you like to go see it in town right now?” (Harold)

“! Really?” (Casparleague)

“Of course.” (Harold)

I smiled and nodded at the surprised Cas.

“Yay! Let’s go, let’s go!” (Casparleague)

“Cas-san, I’m glad for you.” (Monica)

While watching Cas get all excited, Monica kept glancing at me.

Ah, yeah, yeah. You want something too, don’t you?

So, we went.

“Ahhhhh…!” (Casparleague)

We arrived at a jewellery store in the city center. Cas was staring at the display window, eyes sparkling.

For this, Xandra stayed behind at the dorm (well, I didn’t tell her). If I brought her along, I’d have to explain the whole reason for coming here, and that’s not something I want to do. I can’t have her finding out that I’m getting a gift for her.

“What kind of accessory would you like? …Though, in your case, it’s probably going to be a collar.” (Harold)

“Yeah! That’s fine! Oh, but I can pick out the gem, right?” (Casparleague)

“Of course.” (Harold)

Cas, all excited, was so cute.

In the end, I still can’t tell if Cas is a boy or a girl. At the very least, Cas had a mother, so there must be some gender… right?

“Ah… this…” (Harold)

What I found was a topaz necklace, the same color as Monica’s eyes. I think this would look good on her.

“Excuse me, could I see this one?” (Harold)

“Certainly.” (Shop Assistant)

I took the topaz necklace from the shop assistant.

“Monica, come here for a sec.” (Harold)

“? Yes…” (Monica)

I waved Monica over, who had been keeping Cas company, and I stood behind her.

“Ah…” (Monica)

“Yeah. It really suits you well.” (Harold)

I nodded in satisfaction as I looked at Monica with the necklace on.

Monica’s so beautiful, I knew she would look great in something like this.

“Thank you very much. I’ll take this one too.” (Harold)
“Thank you very much.” (Shop Assistant)

“?! Y-your Highness Harold!?” (Monica)

As I placed the order, Monica shouted.

She always teases and asks for things, but when it actually comes to giving her something, she’s always so reluctant.

“I’m sorry, but I won’t accept any refusals. You’re my ‘important someone’, my irreplaceable personal maid.” (Harold)

“Y-You really are…!” (Monica)

I smiled softly as I watched Monica, unusually moved, looking at me. Seeing her like this made me happy too.

But…

“Haru-sama…?” (Alexandra)

“Yes…” (Harold)

When I returned to the dormitory, Xandra started interrogating me intensely.
