“Achille~♪ Congratulations on losing your vir■■■ity~”
“Pff-…”
I almost spat out the black tea I was drinking by accident. What a thing to start the conversation with, Your Highness!
It was a blessing that there was nobody else around.
After getting to my workplace, just as I was about to begin with, His Highness intruded on me.
He’s grinning form ear to ear.
Since it’s him, I knew that he would appear before long, but… he’s unexpectedly fast, huh?
“…You are getting in the way of my work, but is there anything you need…? If not, then please leave.”
“Getting shy? Was it that great? Camille’s first-…”
“Miss Beatrix. Shall I reveal to her about how you stalked her, Your Highness?”
“…-!”
His Highness shut his mouth in a fluster.
Hard to imagine from his sparkling appearance, he loves gossip.
The gossip within the castle is one of his favourite things, and occasionally he grasps hold of some ridiculously crazy information.
But, Camille was cute last night. Incredibly cute.
Having her turn bright red, and asking for it with her raspberry eyes moist with tears was honestly… Ah-, crap. I was supposed to be in the middle of working.
I frantically stilled my loosening expression.
“Is Camille off work today?”
“Yes. I don’t want her overdoing it today.”
“Ohhh?”
His Highness smirked happily.
Thanks to his preparations behind the scenes, I was able to marry Camille without a problem.
Because of that, I’m thankful to him… but, it seems like I’m going to be seen through in various ways, so I’m feeling a little complicated about it.

“And so you see, since Beatrix is coming, I thought I’d hold my engagement party.”
His Highness’ fiancée, a Count’s daughter, Beatrix Tapas, from the neighbouring country, was presently on her way to castle.
Apparently she’s riding in a palanquin, in the middle of an exaggerated bridal procession.
I was thinking that it would’ve been fine even if they just avoided all the annoying steps and took a teleportation circle here, but Topageria probably has its own pretentions and customs and various annoying things.
They decided to pick teleporting to the capital, and then donig their old fashioned procession from there.
“Your Highness, though the inside of the castle is better than before, it is still not perfect…”
“Yeah, I still haven’t finished cleaning. That’s why I’m planning on cleaning up the remaining garbage at the engagement party.”
His Highness intends on dragging out to the engagement party, those nobles who he hasn’t been able to get a good hold of thus far.
