Shinyu Ouji to Koshiginchaku

◇　

Skyford Kingdom, the king was staring at the ring with a difficult face.

Soon after, a knock sounded from the door, and the owner of the sound called out through the door.

'Father, you wanted to see me?'

Vincent? Put in

King Skyford's son, Vincent, was invited by a servant to enter the room and noticed that his father was in a bad mood.

'What can I do for you?

"...... This is it.

He showed me a ring that he had just held with difficulty.

What's this?

The cursed daughter's maternal grandfather presented her with a sentence to be commuted.

Vincent frowns when he hears that she is the daughter who cursed him.

It's not a good feeling to be rehashed even though the story is already over in my mind.

"You should have given her back with that ring,

But there was a reason why this was not possible.

It is a piece of equipment that can break the curse while wearing this ring. In fact, when I tried it on the cursed, it was true.

It's ......

Although it comes with the restriction of absolutely having to wear the ring, this will allow Lenore to live a normal life when there was no curse.

"If we get married with the curse still on, it would have worked out nicely as a beauty story,

The king sighed deeply as he said ...... that he would take care of everything at all.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of good reasons for this.

And he was the best of the best, showing with his body the loyalty that is most lacking in this country right now.

I'm ...... already in love with Lenore.

I know.

The buzz of a cursed loyal vassal, and above all, his son Vincent is on board.

............

Vincent remained frozen, holding the ring in his hand.

"----...... I can muzzle and grip everyone who sees that nothing happened at this point.

The king wanted to pretend that he hadn't silenced the clans that cast the curse.

That way, he would have no choice but to marry Vincent, and Lenore would automatically come to Vincent.

...... but would you say that would have made Lenore happy?

Lenore sacrificed to protect Vincent.

Can Vincent take advantage of it this time?

(Doesn't Lenore really want to go back to the man ......?)

The king dropped another sigh.

I'll give it to you.

Vincent thanked the king and left the room.

"...... if Lenore chooses me. ......

Murmured to himself in the hallway, the words disappeared into the darkness.

◇

I adjusted to school life more easily than I thought I would.

I suppose it's thanks to Vee's help during his absence.

The boys in the salon have gotten along better with the debate and have talked about asking Vee to sustain that meeting and so on.

Vee also seemed to have a sense of what he was listening to, and was able to talk more openly with the boys than before.

And best of all--......

"Now that Prince Vincent is sold, we finally have a woman on our hands!

I didn't set out to build a harem.

I know, I know. But at this age, because of the prince, everyone went to the prince. ......

Although Vee has a blatantly disgusted look on his face, life does not go well.

"Dear God, Lenore!　Could you manage to set up a tea party with the girls or something!

"Why would I...

"Isn't Lenore-sama, an ex-male who can go to a women's garden, the right person for the job!

"Sure. ......

When I lightly responded that I'll think about it, the boys were like, "Whoa! And screaming with delight.

So, it was taken by Vee so much .......

Vee made the source of the problem, while sipping tea with an unsuspecting face

"Lenore was very careful to clean up after the woman who came on to me. I know what most women are really like.

And came up with a roundabout piece of advice named .......

As soon as they hear this, the boys widen their eyes and press on to hear the true nature of the girls they are interested in.

"Mr. Lenore!　I'm curious about you, Marcelina!　What child!

"Miss Viridiana is as pretty and neat as she looks, right?

"Oh, ahh!　Calm down and go to ......!

With Vee's recent declaration of marriage proposal, I was instantly starting to be treated like a fiancé.

"When I heard that Prince Vincent was going to marry Lenore, I wondered what it would be like, but now that I see them lined up like this, I'm like, 'This is the only way! It feels like a good idea!

"It's like we've been together for so long that my eyes settle down. I know, I know.

"Ha ha ...... ......

The queen is the highest form of treatment for a loyal subject who has been cursed to take his place, and Prince Vincent's caliber will be heard across the continent.

The story-like sound of "marrying a loyal vassal who was cursed in return" may still be appealing, but it was well received by the nobility, and none of the ladies were willing to fight with each other.

Now, who would want to take the lead in being a 'jealous attacker because a loyal vassal who received a curse in his place is getting married' villain?

Everyone was celebrating and becoming a big deal, and it was starting to feel like we were really getting married.

No, I've spent most of my life with Vee, so no one is easier to be with than Vee, and it's like making a promise to your best friend for life that you'll really be with him for the rest of your life. ...... It's not hard at all.

It's just that I've been a guy for a while now, and I'm fastidious in my acceptance.

You were that good at it.

Wasn't she supposed to be born a woman?　And, teasingly, Vee had returned to my comfort zone.

I felt a tingle of frustration at Vee's snickering gesture, which made my dominant heart ache.

Ha!　No good. .......

...... What do I have to do to study the queen?

If she didn't have the talent, she might be ready to stop with ...... for the stone, or worse, hire a shadow warrior or a puppet master puppeteer puppet named a good assistant. ...... .

The first king became a king at a young age and laid the foundation of the country.

The era of Vee will require a solid policy to succeed his will and create a more solid ground ...... so to speak, like a middleman. It's not that difficult of a regime.

The prestige of heroic royalty is still tremendous.

The support from the public mind is also thick, and Vee's rebels are now crushing it.

Vee's own temperament as a king was no doubt, and there seemed to be no brother-in-law who wanted to replace him as king.

You can have a father-king and husband who can ...... that's quite easy mode for a queen.

"You could spend all that time with me and not be arrogant, humble and unassuming, and you'd be just fine.

So said Vee.

It's true that ...... looks so easy that even a reclusive queen would be able to serve in a poor way if she were to look at those two: ......

I was told, "You can just stand beside me and smile," which makes me feel like a useless, useless guy who can't do anything.

It's more like, 'It's gotta be you! Or do I tend to dream of being recognized?

◇

I'm going to study something called queen education, and it seems that queen education is like a step further into domestic politics, and the most important part is to learn how to take control of the situation when the king is absent or in an emergency situation when he is sick.

But if you can communicate and coordinate with your subjects on a regular basis, you can rely on them to some extent.

It's important for an incompetent person like me to be on good terms with the former Prime Minister's son and the son of a knight commander to build a trustworthy relationship with them in times of need.

It's also important to build a trusting relationship with them to be able to talk to them when the time comes.

And here's another difficult topic to discuss, when you become the queen, you will be in the top position of all the ladies and daughters.

I am a former man, that is.

The former male queen and other ladies would not know what to do with me.

I'm going to be the first to admit that I'm not sure what to do with it.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's interested in this kind of thing.

It's not a good idea to go to ...... and say hello to the owner of the park if you're here for a woman's park.

A beautiful table and chairs with a variety of sweets in the courtyard, one of the most scenic places in the school, and Miss Viridiana, the highest-ranking girl in the school, waiting there.

And there was Mistress Viridiana, the highest-ranking girl in the school, waiting for me.

I'm not going to be the only one who has been in a position to do this, but I'm going to be the only one who has been in a position to do it.

I'm not going to be the only one who can do that.

I'm deeply regret that Prince Vincent can no longer trust women.

That said, Miss Viridiana is sad and tragic.

Mistress Viridiana is a thoughtful, responsible, and strong core woman, a strong woman of solidity among the ladies and extremely calm when Vee didn't want to meet the ladies and I had to take care of it for her.

She's beautiful and has a hard face, which makes her look scary, but I'm convinced that she was thought to be the one who would marry Vee in the future for some reason.

But the women's battle over Vee is escalating, and it's getting so complicated that even Mistress Viridiana can't control it.

I know this in my bones, as I witnessed the battle up close, and as I was cleaning up the mess, I knew it all too well.

You'll be able to find out if you'll be able to get a good deal more about the company and its products. I'm going to support you.

"Dear Viridiana: ......

I'm still in the process of being courted. ...... It's hard to say.

Miss Viridiana's family is much larger and wealthier than my family, which is only a trickster, and she serves her country well.

For such a good girl, I can't help but think it's a shame that Vee has seen some of the women and ruined them all.

Mistress Viridiana showed me a simple chart of relations between the ladies, which she must have drawn by hand, saying that it might be useful in the future.

'I'm grateful,'

However, his experience of hustling between Vee and the young lady has helped him to understand the faction of girls to some extent.

I've sent quite a few "Vee's sorry" or "Vee's sorry" letters, both playboy and non-playboy, to quite a few young ladies, and there were quite a few who knew each other well enough to have corresponded with each other.

Maybe they heard somewhere that I was a prospective fiancée, or maybe they came to the conclusion that "I'd rather be someone else's," and some of the ladies sent me letters.

I'm sure Lady Lenore will be fine, but women have their own hierarchies and cliques.

Yes. Yes, I know.

"I honestly think it's going to be pretty hard to get in there now,

You've got to have a plan. ...... I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has been in love with him, but I'm also the one who can enjoy the delicious feeling of being on his side, even if he is my lover's rival.

...... I don't know if it will be successful, but I have an idea, so I'm going to give it a try.

I'm sorry to say that the ladies, who have their eyes on other men now that Vee has been sold, are probably looking for a man right now.

That's where I, who's been a man until now, comes in.

You can get good information about a potential future husband that will have a great deal to do with your future.

Furthermore, if you host a tea party for students of both genders, you can provide a place for them to meet each other, and they'll hate us a little less.

I feel like a cupid or something.

So I was thinking of holding a tea party.

"............

"......?　Vee?　Do you hear me?

"Oh, oh, ...... sorry

Although Vee has been coming to visit me in my room, Vee has been somewhat absent-minded and distracted lately.

When I worried that she was tired because she was busy, she would pretend otherwise.

It was strange.

I'm sure it's a big deal to have a tea party of that scale at your house. I'll give you some help.

"Oh!　If the royal family is cooperating, it's going to be a decent crowd. Vee, thank you!

Vee looks even more difficult when I thank him in a good mood.

What the hell is this?

Vee seems to be planning to be monogamous, taking only me as a wife, but Vee's father has a lot of wives and many siblings.

In the meantime, it's absolutely impossible for the blood to be cut off, and even if you're a monogamous wife, you can ask Vee's sisters-in-law to help you out when you're having trouble with women.

It's a picture-perfect smooth sailing.

There is nothing to be confused about .......

...... As the road to the future is being developed more and more, Vee's troubles are ...... as much as I don't say yes?

But if I wanted to, I could force them to say yes, and even now, they are almost engaged and in talks to get married.

There's a reason why I wouldn't say yes to a marriage proposal.

I've fallen in love with Vee. Probably because of romantic feelings.

That's why I couldn't tell you.

(How can I confess to a guy who chose me because he didn't want a woman to like me? ......)

But every time she politely pampered me with her neat face, I was hurting. I'm not sure how easy it would be to say that beauty is a sin and I'm not to blame.

It's not just a matter of how many times I've been in the same situation.

Can you really say that you were seduced by such a thing?　I was a man. I was.

I glanced at Vee's profile, trying not to get caught beside him.

Vee, with his gloomy face, was also cool and shadowy. I must be pretty beaten up around the world to be able to say anything but that.

It's too creepy that your ex guy's best friend is in love with you.

It's not just a good idea to have a good time, but it's also a good idea to have a good time with your friends.

...... Hey Lenore!

What's up?

My heart skipped a beat as he saw through my thoughts.

"No, ......, I'm not sure I've ever asked you what you wanted to do in the future, or what you dreamed of doing in the future.

Well ...... and I made a thinking gesture.

I'm ashamed to admit, I never had any grandiose dreams for the future. It was always Vee who said, "When I'm king, this is what I'm going to do! I want to see it too," he chanted, "I'd like to see it," just to get on the vee.

I was happy about that.

"Hmm, thank you.

I guess that's why our relationship worked so well together for over a decade.

Me and Vee's relationship has always been one where Vee swings me around and I complain and follow her.

I would get in the big Vee's safe, big boat and enjoy the happiness of just following along behind her all the way.

I wondered if I would ever get married like that again.

People used to tell me I didn't have it in me because all I ever did was follow Vee, and that's certainly true.

She's supposed to be making a bigger deal when she becomes a woman, but she's even studying to become a queen, you know?　And self-deprecating himself, but Vee did not laugh.

'............'

But if it helps Vee, then an engagement wouldn't be so bad: ......

I'd like to respond to his proposal lightly and become his fiancée in a smooth manner so that he wouldn't know how I felt about him.

It's sad to think that I'll have a crush on her for the rest of my life, but I also think it's okay to keep it that way as long as we remain best friends and no one else can have it.

(I'm kind of like Vee's bitter daughter in my thoughts, aren't I?)

I was creeped out by this, but I remained calm so that Vee wouldn't find out.

'That's why I'm going to ......!

"Lenore.

In contrast to my heaving face, Vee looked at me with a very serious face.

If you could go back to the ...... man, would you want to?

The words were unexpected.

'What ......?'

"............

Why have you been trying to force me to be your wife, and now you're telling me that?

Have you found out about my unpleasant feelings? So you want to destroy it.

The thought of that sent a chill down my spine.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. The curse is lifelong, and once it has been cast, it can't be lifted forever, right?　No mage has ever been able to do that before: ......

I impatiently insisted that I couldn't go back to being a man.

It's as if that's why he's asking Vee to take him back, which is somewhat unseemly.

'What if,'

No, there's no point in talking about the what ifs.

Forget it.

I still want to destroy it, and I think badly that I might be right.

What do you want me to say to you, Vee?　I can't get out of my hunchback, and I look for the best solution.

I can't think of 'if I could be a man again' anymore.

I can't even say it's because I love Vee.

I'm not going to be able to say that I love Vee, but I can't say that I love her. ...... Vee's parents, His Majesty, my parents, and everyone at school expects me to marry Vee. It's a good idea to raise Vee's spirits by 'making a cursed loyal subject a queen instead of a prince'. Besides, I'd rather have you than marry a strange person ......

I vainly laid out the merits of having me as your fiancée again, and Vee looked sad as I vainly laid out the merits of having me as your fiancée again.

'Hasn't Lenore always been my go-to person since she was a little girl, subconsciously forcing herself to be in my good mood?

"............ such a ...... thing ......

Until now, I've never disagreed with Vee's opinions, although I've tried to hold them back.

It is my job to affirm everything and put him in a good mood.

The ...... ring is a piece of equipment that has no effect on breaking the curse, but removes the effect of the curse while you wear it.

When he took my hand and fitted me with the ring, my body became a pale light and my body became a familiar man's body.

I'm not sure if it's because of the women's clothing that my body is a little tight, but I'm more than just speechless at the fact that I can 'return to being a man', albeit with restrictions.

I'm sure you'll be able to live your life as normal as before with this ring on. You won't have to spend the rest of your life at ...... my selfishness.

Vee deeply regretted having taken the place of a curse on me.

And I was going to take that responsibility and get married, and I could stop trying to get married, so I was killing two birds with one stone.

It wasn't like me by any means.

I didn't know what to say, and a tear fell from my eye, but Vee saw it and laughed, as if she was hurt.
