“Hmm…” (Harold

When we returned to the Royal Academy’s dormitory, Liz, Christia, Carla, Liliana, and Lloyd, who was kneeling, were waiting for us.

Huh? What kind of situation is this?

“Haru, I heard, didn’t you and Xandra get married?” (Lizette)

“!?” (Harold)

I instinctively flinched at Liz’s sharp glare.

Could it be that she’s really angry?

“Hehehe, congratulations on your marriage. But if that’s the case, why didn’t you say a word to me, the Saintess?” (Christia)

“That’s right! Aren’t Your Highness and I supposed to be friends who have crossed swords together?” (Carla)

Christia, with her eyes devoid of light and a somewhat dark smile, and Carla, getting closer with heavy breaths.

Scary. Super scary.

“That’s right! If it were a wedding, there’d be lots of meat to eat! What are you going to do about that?” (Liliana)

Liliana puffed up her cheeks, angrily.

But the reason for her anger being meat? How unreasonable.

“So, why is Lloyd kneeling…?” (Harold)

“S-sorry!” (Lloyd)

“I wasn’t going to say anything, but these four are super scary!” (Lloyd)

Ah, I see.

The reason we had our wedding at the Baltian Church was because I had previously gotten permission from the church to use it, but it seemed that backfired. Since Lloyd, the son of the High Priest, had obtained permission using my name, it was easy to figure things out.

“So, um… I apologize for keeping this hidden from you all. But there are still some circumstances where I need to keep this a secret…” (Harold)

“That’s right. Haru-sama is definitely not at fault.” (Alexandra)

“What are you saying? We’re angry at Xandra too.” (Lizette)

“Ah…” (Alexandra)

Liz’s cold words made even Xandra hang her head.

“Anyway, we’ll listen to the details later… But first, come over here.” (Lizette)

“Yes…” (Harold, Xandra)

We obediently followed the four of them, walking behind them. Then…

“Eh…? This…?” (Harold)

“W-well, it was a sudden thing, and this was all we could prepare, so please don’t complain!” (Lizette)

“We really want to celebrate properly.” (Carla)

“Indeed!” (Liliana)

“We got meat ready just for this!” (Christia)

On the table in the social space, there were many dishes lined up tightly. It seemed everyone had prepared this to celebrate us.

“Th-thank you…” (Harold)

“Don’t think I’ll be fooled by just a word of thanks! I want you to tell us everything, including how you ended up getting married, why you kept it a secret from us, and even the lovey-dovey details!” (Lizette)

“Ah, hahaha…” (Harold)

Surrounded by everyone who was so precious to me, Xandra and I received so many blessings. I was so happy that, just a little, I ended up crying. But that was a secret.

“…So, that’s what happened at the palace.” (Harold)

After explaining everything, everyone looked solemn. No one could have imagined that King Eibar would do something so foolish.

“Ha… Is this kingdom really alright…?” (Christia)

“Please don’t say that…” (Harold)

Christia pressed her temples and shook her head, and I could only hang my head in silence.

I, too, wish there were a hole to crawl into… but, well, since there isn’t one, I suppose I’ll just dig one myself.

“Anyway, about the royal succession rights, I still have them, but I’ve effectively lost the qualifications to become the next king. I apologize for causing trouble to the Holy Kingdom that supported me…” (Harold)

“No. The Holy Kingdom will continue to support Your Highness Harold.” (Christia)

“Saintess!?” (Harold)

I was stunned by Christia’s unexpected words.

No, no, no… ‘Enhaz’s’ Christia was a character who never let her personal feelings get in the way and always chose the best solution as a Saintess. Even if she supports a man with no future like me, the Holy Kingdom won’t gain anything.

“Your Highness Harold has received the support of many influential nobles, and even Count Bradley Drake, who controls the military, is on your side. That alone is enough for the Holy Kingdom to support you. And…” (Christia)

Christia leaned forward, staring at me with a serious… no, angry expression.

“I, too, want to serve someone important… just as you called me ‘important’.” (Christia)

“Ah…” (Harold)

It was then that I realized.

Just as I think of Christia and everyone as ‘important’, they, too, think of me as ‘important’. I have already become a being who could receive so much from others.

“Therefore, I will continue to support Your Highness Harold. But… since you’re no longer becoming the next king, I wish to be freed from the things I’ve been holding back.” (Christia)

“Eh…?” (Harold)

“Hehehe. From now on, I will call you ‘Haru-sama’.” (Christia)

With those words, Christia gave me a smile… the smile of a goddess, even more beautiful than that of a Saintess.

“That’s not fair! I’ve been holding back too, so from now on, I’ll call you ‘Haru-dono’!” (Carla)

“Wh-what!?” (Harold)

With a furrowed brow, Carla also leaned forward and insisted.

I-I mean, of course, I’m totally fine with it.

“That’s what I mean. From now on, I… no, the Capetian Kingdom also supports Haru. Be prepared.” (Lizette)

“Why do I need to be prepared!?” (Harold)

With a wicked smile, Liz laughed, and I couldn’t help but retort.

What kind of trouble am I going to face from here on out?

“I have no power, but… still! I will do my best for Haru-san!” (Liliana)

“Me too! I’m your friend!” (Lloyd)

“Liliana… Lloyd…” (Harold)

Everyone, you’re all really silly. I can’t even become the next king, so I’m just a decorative member of the royal family. I have no value. But…

“Everyone… thank you…” (Harold)

I was so happy, so very happy, that… I ended up crying.
