Summer vacation is over and the students are going to school one by one. Cain rides his carriage to school as usual. When he enters the classroom, his familiar S-class classmates are gathered in various places, discussing the events of summer vacation.
　Telestia and Silk had already come to school as well, and they were talking together in a friendly manner.

''Ah, good morning, Cain-sama!''
Good morning, Mr. Cain.
Teres, Silk, good morning.

　Cain walks into their conversation.

''Finally, it's today. We were planning to hold a welcome party at the King's Castle beforehand, but the other party refused because they didn't want to show off, so .......
'Today we are meeting for the first time too. I wonder what kind of person the Princess is. ......

　They talked as they imagined meeting the princess for the first time today.
　The chime rings and one of the teachers comes in.

Osi, everyone is here. Good morning. There is a new student here in S class today. You can come in.

　The door was slowly opened at the teacher's voice.
　The one who entered the room was a beautiful girl with blue hair that grew to her waist and her bangs were arranged around her eyebrows. She was about one hundred and fifty centimeters tall, a beautiful girl that made the boys in the class scream with joy.
　The beautiful girl stood beside the podium, looked around and then bowed deeply.

''Ladies and gentlemen, it's nice to meet you. I'm Riltana Van Byssus, who came to study abroad from the Byssus Empire. This is the second time I've come to the Esfort Kingdom, but this is my first time in the royal capital. I hope you will get along with me from now on.

　A cheer went up from all the men in the class.

''It's the Princess. ......

She's really pretty: ......

　The girls in the class grumbled at the men's cheers.
　Liltana didn't seem particularly bothered and bowed her head deeply again, then looked up and smiled at Cain, looking at him.
　Smiling at Cain, the expression on Telestia's and Silk's faces was tense.

'I knew it... ......'

　Telestia muttered softly.
　Cain listened to Riltana's smiling at her, not seeming to be particularly bothered by her smile, and listened to her talk in a matter-of-fact manner.

''As you've heard, Miss Riltana is an imperial princess of the Byssus Empire, but her status doesn't matter in this school. Liltana's seat is ...... right, let's have her sit behind Telestia. Liltana, take a seat there.
Doctor, I understand.

　Liltana smiled at everyone and made her way between the seats to take her own.
　Just in time, she sat diagonally behind Cain.

'So, we'll call the first period homeroom. Everyone will have a chance to introduce themselves. Cain!　You first introduce yourself.

　At the teacher's suggestion, Cain sat up and turned back to face Riltana.

'My name is Cain von Silford Drintle. I have received an earldom from the kingdom. Please take care of yourself.

　Cain finished his greeting briefly and took his seat early. The next person to take a seat was Telestia, sitting next to him.

''My name is Telestia Terra Esford. I will be the third princess of this country. And sitting next to me, I'm Cain-sama's fiancée (...). It's my pleasure to meet you.

　Telestia greeted Riltana as she emphasized her fiancé's (...) place. Liltana's eyes widened a bit as if she was surprised to hear the words.
　Then Silk, the third seat, stood next.

'My name is Silk von Santana. I will be the second daughter of the Duke of this country. And I'm also Cain-kun's fiancée. Please take care of me.

　The two greeted each other, and a chilling sound of whistling and other chilling words were emitted by the boys in the class. And likewise, Riltana looked at Cain once with a slightly surprised expression on her face, looking unhappy.
　Then one by one, the classmates introduced themselves. At that time, Rilutana listened to the conversation while smiling as if to hide the sullen expression she had earlier.
　By the time the nearly thirty greetings were over, it was the end of the first period.

''Well then, we'll end homeroom now. Next time we'll have a normal class, okay?

　As the teacher walked out of the classroom, the men gathered around Riltana at once.

'Once again, nice to meet you!　I'm the viscount's trueborn son.

　The girls looked at the men who flocked to the beautiful girls with a mixture of sighs from around them.
　Riltana also looked tired of such a situation. Then, sitting in front, Telestia called out to her.

''Ladies and gentlemen, if you call out to them all at once like that, Riltana-san won't be able to understand you either.

　The boys returned to their respective seats as if they had given up on Telestia's words. As expected, no matter how much we are in the school, we can't go against the princess' words.

''Riltana-san, I'm sorry. It's just that it's become so lively ......
No, Mr. Telestia?　Thank you. ......
You can call me Teles, if you want. That's what my friends call me.
Then you can call me Lil'

　They smiled at each other. Silk mixed in and the three of them were chatting amiably, while Cain listened in his seat, propped up on his elbows.

''As long as you two get along, it looks like you'll be fine. ......

　Relieved, Cain smiled.
　As the three of them talked, Silk noticed that Rilthana was glancing at Cain, and asked Rilthana a question.

'Lil, are you ...... curious about Cain-kun?'

　Liltana turned red and denied Silk's words.

'Well, no, that's not true ...... because it's the first time we've met ...... and ...... and it's your two fiancées, right?　I was a little curious about what he looks like: ......

　Finally, she answered a little sadly. Riltana then clutched the necklace at her chest. Telestia was curious about the necklace and asked a question.

I'm sure you'll find the necklace simple, but it suits you well. It looks like a very important thing. ......

...... Yeah, someone I met when I was a little girl picked me out. ......

　I looked at the blue stone attached to the tip of the tip as if it were important and replied as if I were reminiscing, and finally gave a light glance to Cain.
　After that, the conversation between the three of them continued. As expected, no one was strong enough to enter the conversation between the princess, the princess and the duchess.
　The chime rings, the door opens and the teacher comes in.

''Then we'll start the class--''

　The next class started as well. It seemed that the textbooks had already been given to Riltana, and she listened to the class diligently.
　The class proceeded without incident, and lunch was served. The school has a large cafeteria, and many students eat their lunch there. In some cases, those who brought their own lunches also ate in the cafeteria with their friends.
　Cain went to the cafeteria and was looking for an empty seat with a plate of food on it, when Telestia beckoned him to join her. When he got closer, Riltana and Silk were also sitting there.

''Cain-sama, there's one open here. Please join us.

Thank you. I'm coming in.

　Cain put the plate down and took a seat.

'Since we're here, I thought it would be a good time for some fellowship, so I invited Lil to join us.

''Riltana-san, we can manage to ask the two of you about this academy. Nice to meet you again.

　Riltana nodded, looking a little sad at Cain's words.
　The chatter continued while they ate. Although they couldn't talk about the inner workings of the empire, but the women's conversations about hobbies and what they usually did, etc., became more and more lively.

''Come to think of it, didn't Ril say that he had been to the Esford Kingdom once?　You said you haven't been to King's Landing, what city?

　Riltana's face tenses up at Teres' casual question.

Yes, ...... when I was little ...... to the city of La Mesta.
'Ramesta is a ...... Gracia territory, right?　Mr. Cain's father is reigning in ....... Could it be that Lil and Cain-kun have met?
"Yeah, I think it's ...... without .......

　Cain also added his words to Riltana, who replied in a whisper.

''I've only been to the city of Ramesta once, too ....... I went there with your father's entourage, but I spent most of my time knighting and training--'

　Cain began to talk, remembering something that happened many years ago.
　In his story, he told her that he had spent all his time knighting and training, even at a young age, and had only been to the city's shopping district once.
　Liltana listened with a slightly expectant expression on her face, but when Cain's story came to an end, she looked sad.

''Cain-sama has been training from such a young age, hasn't he? That's why he's so strong--''

'Speaking of which, are you sure you're both engaged to Master Cain?　They both have ....... Jealousy and other things: ......

　To cut off Telestia's story, Riltana asked them a question.

'It's not two, is it? Even now, Cain-kun still has three official fiancées, and maybe - maybe one more?

　Silk's words shocked Riltana more than she could have imagined.
　Even in the empire, it was normal for a fiancée to be decided before coming of age, but it was a political marriage to deepen the relationship between the houses.
　As expected, it was impossible for even a prince to have three or even four people to marry before coming of age.

''I am also telling Master Cain not to add more to the number.

　Telestia also nodded at Silk's words and explained.
　While listening to their words, Riltana gave Cain a slightly tighter look.

''Even if you say that ......

　Cain scratched his head and didn't deny it.

'--Well, ......, I'm sorry, I'm going back to class first.

　Liltana got up from her seat and walked out with the plate.

'Did I do something wrong?' ......

　Cain muttered as he watched Riltana's distant back.
