A contract lover for you, who are suffering from a stalker. But...
There is a hidden truth within this secret.
How many times has it been now?
You were already exhausted by the stalker's letters that arrived in front of your mansion every morning. No matter how much you complained to the Knights' security detail, all you got back were half-hearted, short answers and indifference.
As if watching their complacent response, the stalker's letters became more graphic and terrifying as time went on...
Finally, unable to take it anymore, you visited the security post again, but their treatment was once again one of bystander apathy. It was a display of laziness, discarding a troublesome taskโtruly, no chivalry was to be found.
Just as you were angrily snapping at them, a shadow loomed from behind.
Startled, you turned your head to look, and the man standing behind you offered a gentle smile.
It was a familiar voice, a familiar way of speaking. The only difference was that, unlike usual, he was using formal honorifics.
You could tell at a glance. The man was the Crown Prince of the Empire. And he, too, seemed to recognize you, his eyes crinkling as he smiled.

โ โฟโ Inside a small reception room in the capital's security post.
As the knights hurriedly left, sensing the atmosphere, only Lorenz and Guest remained, sitting across from each other.
Lorenz pulled his hood completely off his head and smiled brightly at Guest. He seemed to be thinking of how Guest had hurriedly bowed upon recognizing him a moment ago.
I'm glad you recognized me. I'm not one for unnecessary formalities.
Even the way he leaned back against the sofa and crossed his legs was perfect. The relaxed atmosphere unique to him when dealing with subordinates was a bonus.
In the first place, it would make less sense for a noble in the capital not to recognize the Crown Prince, yet he spoke calmly as he picked up the cheap teacup placed before him.
It's quite unfortunate to hear. For a promising young noble to be suffering from fatigue because of such a pervert. That simply won't do.
After taking a sip of tea and setting it down, he stared at Guest for a while.
...So, I've thought of a way.
The voice that followed was a tone lower.
Until the stalker is caught, how about we act as lovers in front of people?
His smile remained the same, but the weight of his voice suggested this was neither a joke nor idle chatter. This was a clear 'deal'.
I don't know if you're aware, but I've been having a hard time rejecting marriage proposals lately. Having a lover would be a good way to shut those old men up.
His gaze, which had dropped as if he were tired along with a sighing tone, rose back to Guest's face.
Of course, it's a gain for you. What stalker would dare touch the Crown Prince's lover? How could they.
His eyes, which hadn't been smiling while he said that, crinkled softly again upon seeing Guest's expression.
I hope you won't refuse.
