A man approached at Sylvia’s call.
He was tall and well-built, similar to Anselot, and his steps suggested he might be a knight.
‘Is that Sylvia’s brother?’
As he walked, his waist-length platinum hair swayed, captivating the eyes of the ladies.
‘He’s handsome.’
While casually observing, I noticed the name ‘Klaus Winster’ associated with him.
I had never seen that handsome face before, but the name felt familiar.
‘Wait, Klaus…?’
As I pieced together my memories, I suddenly realized who he was.
“Sylvia… is your brother’s name Klaus Winster?”
As Sylvia’s brother approached and I hesitantly asked her about him, she laughed and waved her fan.
“Oh, yes. You remember correctly.”
“The Klaus Winster who, at six, picked up a sword and beat a bear…?”
“Oh my, did I tell you that?”
“The very Klaus Winster who went to study in the Holy Kingdom, was offered the position of the Holy Knights’ commander by the Pope, but flatly refused and returned to his homeland…?”
“What? My brother was offered the position of commander of the Holy Knights by the Pope?”
Sylvia’s eyes widened in disbelief.
I clamped my mouth shut.
Even Sylvia, his sister, didn’t know this story. I knew it for one reason: he was one of the heroes in the original work.
‘Klaus Winster, the Shield of Light!’
He was the first companion of the protagonist Hezen, forming a solid bond of trust with him!
While I vaguely remembered Klaus’s full name, I had never connected him with Sylvia.
‘That Klaus is Sylvia’s brother?’
I was shocked to realize that one of the heroes of light from the original work was her brother.
But what shocked me more was…
Klaus, heir of the Winster Ducal House
Affinity: 100
His incredibly low affinity towards me.
‘What’s with this negative affinity?’
Sylvia introduced me to Klaus.
“This is Princess Luibel Acestor, the third princess. She’s my best friend.”
Since when?
I suppressed my rising question and smiled calmly.
Klaus looked at me following Sylvia’s introduction, and the moment our eyes met.
[SYSTEM] Klaus Winster’s affinity has decreased by 10. (Affinity: 110)What did I do?
“Good day, Princess Luibel. I am Klaus of the Winster family.”
Klaus greeted me with a polite voice.
His voice and expression didn’t suggest he disliked me at all.
“Hello, Sir Klaus. Nice to meet you.”
I replied as warmly and kindly as I could, mindful of his declining affinity.
[SYSTEM] Klaus Winster’s affinity has decreased by 10. (Affinity: 120)‘…!’
My expression stiffened at the following system notification.
‘Does he dislike me just by hearing my voice?’
Just a moment ago, his affinity dropped by just making eye contact…
‘Still feels unfair.’
In the original, he had a good relationship with Hezen. It wasn’t hard for Hezen to recruit him as his first companion.
‘Why is it only me?’
Watching Klaus’s continuously falling affinity, I resolved firmly.
‘I absolutely won’t proceed with the scenario.’
Just look at that affinity.
No matter what quest comes up, it’s impossible to succeed.
What success?
It seems impossible even to start the scenario.
Whether he knew my thoughts or not, Klaus bowed elegantly and politely to me.
“It is an honor to meet you as well.”
[SYSTEM] Klaus Winster’s affinity has decreased by 10. (Affinity: 130)As the system notification of the falling affinity appeared, he smiled politely.
‘What honor. It’s a blatant lie…’

One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
