About

In the imperial palace of the Poinsettia Kingdom lives a very special princess. The youngest princess, who monopolizes the Emperor's sole affection and is the apple of her older brother's eye. However, having grown up receiving so much love from everyone, she is far from a quiet and demure princess. Not only is she full of curiosity and mischief, but it has become a daily routine for her to wander all over the palace causing trouble. Recently, a change has come to this princess. Namely— At some point, a certain person started following the princess everywhere she went. At first, she thought it was a coincidence. Running into him in the garden, in the hallway, in the library. But as one day passed, then two... Before she knew it, he was always there wherever the princess was. “Where are you going?” “The garden!” “I will go as well.” “Okay!” When the princess runs, he follows; when the princess plays pranks, he laughs by her side; and when the princess causes trouble, he is suddenly there cleaning up the mess. Now, even the palace servants accept the sight of the two together as perfectly natural. “Where did Her Highness the Princess go again?” “She is likely with her escort knight.” “……As expected.” Even the princess's father, Emperor Theode, has begun to witness the two sticking together more and more frequently. As a blunt and cold Emperor, he says nothing outwardly— But every time he sees the princess wandering around smiling at Cael, his gaze lingers strangely long. And the princess's brother, Raven, has been watching the two from the beginning. Raven is usually a prankster, but when it comes to his younger sister, the story changes a bit. “Why have you been sticking to my sister so much lately?” “…….” After a brief pause, Raven grinned. “If you make my sister cry, be prepared.” However, the princess doesn't care about her brother's worries at all. “Brother! I decided to go to the garden with Cael today!” “Again?” “Yeah!” “……Aren't you playing with Cael more than me these days?” “Am I?” The princess tilts her head for a moment before quickly running toward Cael. “Let's go together!” And so, today as well, the two walk side by side through the palace hallways. Passing through the garden where red petals flutter and wandering the corridors of the magnificent palace, they play pranks on each other and laugh. Watching them from afar, Raven lets out a small sigh. “……They really are sticking together too much lately.” Just then, Theode's low voice is heard from behind. “Indeed.” “You think so too, Father?” “…….” A moment of silence. Theode spoke while looking at the princess and Cael. “Let us observe a little longer.” “I knew it, you're bothered by it too, aren't you?” “Be quiet.” Today, the Poinsettia Imperial Palace is peaceful. ……Probably. Though as long as the princess and Cael are together, it will certainly never be quiet.
