“But, but… Prince Kirian seems to be so busy [dash].”
“Busy? Kirian?”
I nearly slapped my ear. What could be keeping the kid who doesn’t even attend classes properly busy? He clearly didn’t want to help and was making an excuse.
“Don’t worry.”
I was about to reassure Esmeralda but hesitated.
If I help Esmeralda here, the two will become closer. That would be natural if things went according to the original work.
While I hesitated with an unidentifiable discomfort, Esmeralda grabbed my hand and smiled brightly.
“Really?”
“Ah, ah?”
But I couldn’t disappoint the sweetly smiling Esmeralda, so I ended up nodding.
“Yes, I’ll make room for you.”
Saying so, my mouth felt a bit dry.
(This is a time separator.)
“Esmeralda wants some help with sword training.”
I went round and round before finally spitting out the conclusion. I waited for Kirian’s answer with clenched fists, but Kirian only stared at me with an unreadable face.
I’d stopped Kirian, who was on his way back to the dormitory after dinner, so it was understandable.
“You might be busy, but she says it’s just a short consultation…”
“Okay.”
Kirian replied obediently. I blinked in surprise.
I thought he would surely refuse. I had to work to open my narrowed eyes wide. I coughed for no reason and casually asked,
“You ignore everyone else, but Esmeralda’s okay?”
But Kirian remained inscrutable. A polite smile hovered at the corner of his mouth.
“It’s my sister’s request; I have to listen.”
I awkwardly turned my gaze.
“Um, thanks.”
I got the answer I wanted, but for some reason, my mouth was bitter.
“Let’s go, then.”
Kirian smiled and pulled my hand, as if eager to meet Esmeralda.
The path to the training ground was beautifully green with early summer foliage. As Kirian and I walked side by side, holding hands lightly, our steps naturally slowed.
As we reached the entrance to the training ground, I saw Esmeralda waiting for us.
Wearing a neat shirt and training pants, with a sword on her waist and her dark hair tied high, Esmeralda looked exactly like the original heroine.
A cheerful and casual heroine. A heroine skilled in both swordsmanship and magic.
My steps felt as heavy as if they had lead weights attached.
Esmeralda, not yet sensing my presence, was mumbling to herself.
“I can do well.”
With a pained expression, she clenched her eyes and covered her ears.
“I’ll try [dash].”
Esmeralda found us and immediately bit her lip. I awkwardly pulled my hand out of Kirian’s grasp.
“Princess Reina. Prince Kirian.”
Esmeralda, who faintly smiled, waved her hand.
I also smiled slightly and waved my hand. Kirian, instead of greeting, grabbed my arm.
“Sister.”
“Thank you for coming, Your Highness!”
Without even a glance at Esmeralda who called again, Kirian called me again with a slight smile.
“Sister.”
At the moment I was worried that Esmeralda might be treated like a ghost, Kirian opened his mouth again.
“Could you excuse us for a moment?”
A beat slow to understand Kirian’s words, my body stiffened. My eyes rolled from Kirian to Esmeralda, and from Esmeralda to Kirian.
As always, Kirian looked at me straight and said,
“I think it would be better to talk with Esmeralda alone.”
A beat late, the answer burst out.
“Oh, uh, uh! Of course.”
I quickly pulled my arm out of Kirian’s hand and stepped back.
“There must be a lot to talk about. Feel free to discuss.”
Without realizing it, my steps quickened and soon turned into a run. Eventually, I fled the training ground.
But as hurriedly as I left the training ground, my feet kept circling around it.
I couldn’t hear their voices from afar, but the two standing side by side looked like a perfect picture.
It was natural. They were the male and female protagonists of the novel.
When I had circled the training ground about five times, I finally stopped.
It felt like I had become the original princess who interfered between the male and female leads.
“I think I understand a little why.”
I forcibly moved my feet towards the dormitory.
“Is it similar? Jealousy?”
I tried hard to name this unfamiliar emotion.
Kirian, who used to follow me when we were young.
Although he was no longer sticking to me like glue, I was still secretly proud that I was the closest person to Kirian, who still shied away from others.
“Disappointment?”
But no matter what word I attached, it seemed insufficient to contain what was so full in my chest that it was stifling.
(This is a time separator.)
“Yo, Your Highness! Do, do you want to duel!”
Esmeralda hastily drew her sword. Pulling it out smoothly, it showed she had trained quite well.
However, unlike her hand that held the sword familiarly, her bewildered eyes only wandered.
She seemed to have not expected to be left alone with him.
“No.”
In an instant, Kirian snatched Esmeralda’s sword and gracefully put it back into the scabbard.
Suddenly, the narrowed distance made Esmeralda’s ears turn red.
“Lady Esmeralda.”
So that it would not reach the ears of his sister still lingering outside the training ground, Kirian whispered with a deep smile.
“Do you want to make a deal with me?”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
