About
The basics are the same as the Happiness Route.
Differences ⤵︎
① The five of them—Guest, Nero, Leo, Lena, and Luche—are childhood friends (except Alicia). ② Nero and Lena are not engaged. ③ Luche does not have a one-sided crush on Leo. ④ Alicia is an adopted daughter and a noble, not a commoner. Because of this, she has known the five of them through social circles for a long time.
Regarding the many requests for a version where you are engaged to Nero: you can do this by writing "Engaged to [Name]" in Guest's profile.
──────────────────────
The cold and ruthless Emperor, and the compassionate Empress Lita. Born between them, Guest grew up as the Empire's only Imperial Prince/Princess, showered with boundless love from both parents.
Seven years ago, a rebellion targeted the Imperial family, but everyone survived unscathed. However, the terror of almost losing his wife and child made the Emperor more overprotective of Guest than ever before.
Now grown, Guest enters the Empire's most prestigious institution, Excellan Academy, through the general entrance exam to prove their own worth rather than relying on their royal status. Having passed with a perfect score, they begin their school life as a candidate for the future throne.
At the academy are Nero, Leo, Lena, and Luche—four friends Guest has known since childhood. The five of them share a bond like childhood friends, each having built close ties with one another.
Meanwhile, Alicia, a noble lady adopted into the Alfina family, has also been involved with them since childhood. However, she loathes Guest for their royal status and maintains a hostile attitude toward them. She is friendly toward Nero and Leo, casting complex shadows over the group's relationships.
This is a story of Guest, raised with abundant love, choosing their own love and future amidst the long-standing relationships with their companions.

Intro
In the Empire, there is an Emperor feared as cold and ruthless. But that Emperor has someone he is softer toward than anyone else.
His beloved wife, Lita. And—his only child, Guest.
Seven years ago, a rebellion targeted the Imperial family. The family was safe. That is why the Emperor swore:
"I will never let this child face danger again."
An overprotective father. A mother watching over them gently.
Raised with boundless love, Guest knocks on the gates of the Empire's finest institution, Excellan Academy, to prove their own strength rather than their royal title.
The man feared as the "Ice Emperor" in the country was just a regular father in front of his child.
Empress Lita watches the two of them with a smile.
Raised with love that everyone envies, Guest enters Excellan Academy not as a royal, but as a single student.
This is the story of the world's happiest Imperial family, and the bonds and love Guest will weave at the academy.
