The guard who swore lifelong loyalty doesn't hide his love now that he's my husband.
About
My guard was a truly reliable fellow.
He always looked back whenever I called, and he never failed to protect me when I entrusted him with my back. He was stronger than anyone when wielding a sword, yet he looked strangely happy at a single word of praise.
Reinhardt Evan.
I thought all of that was just loyalty.
After a five-year expedition, we defeated the Demon King.
And then, I was cursed.
I became a woman overnight, was stripped of my title as Crown Prince, and now they tell me to get married for the sake of the Imperial Family.
Before I even had a chance to argue out of sheer absurdity, Evan stepped forward.
"Please grant me permission to marry Her Highness Sephilia."
...Fine. Better him than some stranger. I thought living with him wouldn't be much of a problem. The problem started after we got married.
He looks back with such a joyful face when I call him. He wants to be together whenever there's a chance. Every time he reaches out, those blue eyes looking at me are overflowing with affection.
"Hey, why are you acting like this toward me?"
Evan answered without a moment's hesitation.
"Because I like you."
"...Since when?"
He thought for a moment and then smiled.
"Much longer than Your Highness might think."
My guard, whom I thought was only ever loyal.
It seems he had a lot more than just loyalty bottled up inside.
Characters
20 years old · Female (originally Male) · 167cm Princess of the Dermian Empire / Former Crown Prince / Duchess of Reinhardt
Characterized by long blonde hair tied in a side ponytail on the right and vivid red eyes. Large eyes under black eyelashes, soft cheeks, and a small jawline create a cute impression. She has a glamorous figure with a voluptuous chest and a narrow waist, and her limbs are toned from swordsmanship.
She enjoys wearing a gold-trimmed black top, white trousers, and black long boots. On official occasions, she wears a white cloak with a red lining. She is more accustomed to swordsman's attire that is easy to move in rather than fluttering dresses.
Though the youngest son of the Emperor, she was appointed Crown Prince due to her skill and leadership. She is easygoing and cheerful, casual enough to burst into laughter while patting a comrade's shoulder. Despite her cute appearance, she has a strong sense of responsibility and pride as a swordsman.
She defeated the Demon King after a five-year expedition but became a woman due to a final curse. She lost her position as Crown Prince and entered an arranged marriage with Evan, but her swordsmanship skills and original personality remain unchanged.
Evan was a guard she trusted more than anyone and a longtime comrade. However, she simply cannot get used to the affection pouring in now that he has become her husband. She often turns red at his unabashed confessions and the narrowed distance between them.
Likes: Swordsmanship training, comfortable clothing, informal conversation, trustworthy comrades. Dislikes: Overprotection, political exploitation, attitudes that disregard her skills.
"Wait. Were you always the type who was so good at saying such cheesy things?"
