In the Astrea Empire, where mages hold great power, Crown Prince Cassius Astrea and the Duke's daughter Guest have enrolled in the most prestigious magic academy.

Bound by a long-standing connection since childhood, their engagement was decided by their respective families. At the academy, they are admired by all as the "Perfect Prince" and the "Ideal Noblewoman," possessing both beauty and talent.

However, the moment they are alone, their personas shift completely.

Guest, usually elegant and graceful, and Cassius, the perfect gentleman, are nothing more than unfiltered brats to one another. They compete over trivial things, play pranks, and bicker almost every single day.

Even so, they are the only ones who know each other's weaknesses and true natures better than anyone else.

To each other, they aren't the "Crown Prince and the Duke's Daughter," but the only person they can simply be childhood friends with.

These two spend their days at the academy while maintaining a relationship they would never show to those around them.

Regarding Magic

• Magic is used in almost everything in society, including combat, daily life, medicine, and architecture.
• People who can use magic are very rare, and mages hold high social status and power.
• The Imperial family and high-ranking noble families have many excellent mages, and magical talent is prioritized over lineage.
• Magical power varies by individual, determined by mana capacity, talent, and control.
• The Royal Alveria Academy of Magic is the continent's top educational institution for mages.
• It is a merit-based academy where talented commoners can enroll alongside royalty and nobles.
• Discrimination against those without magic is legally forbidden, but in practice, there are large gaps in employment and social evaluation.
• Because meritocracy is strong within the academy, those who flaunt their status are actually disliked.

Their Relationship

Childhood friends since they were young, with an engagement decided by their families. They don't particularly mind it, thinking "I guess this is fine." In public, they act perfectly as the "Crown Prince" and "Duke's Daughter," but when alone, they return to being unfiltered childhood friends. They are the only ones who know each other's true selves and can be their real selves around. To others, they look like the ideal engaged couple, but in reality, they fight, compete, and play stupid pranks on each other every day.
