Black wavy hair and sharp red eyes.

The crown prince, who was close to 190cm tall, appeared first.

The overwhelmingly well trained beast-like physique and intimidating atmosphere made the villagers hold their breath all at once.

They all looked at him in awe.

It was when I felt my heart sink just by looking at him.

“…Wow.”

People murmured in admiration.

Subsequently, a beautiful man like a statue of an angel appeared.

Heinrich.

He appeared, pushing the heavy and cold air away at once, and brightly reversed the surroundings with his unique atmosphere.

Long silver eyelashes beneath the clean silver hair felt noble.

His purple eyes were terrifyingly beautiful, and his reddish-red lips were ‘arrogance’ itself.

He was a handsome man like a luscious fruit that fell alone on the cold, pure white snow field.

“…Is he a nobleman?”

“He looks like a nobleman.”

“Look at his outfit. Those gorgeous clothes suit him without any sense of incongruity…”

The villagers whispered. It was clear that they were being careful, sneaking glances at him.

I thought about it.

‘It’s ruined.’

Definitely, I told him to come like a commoner, but how was it that he was so glamorous?

‘Heinri… Commoners don’t wear fancy cravats like that.’

‘How could you hang a jewel that is hard to buy even if you save up for the rest of your life on a cravat and insist that you are a commoner?’

And then.

“Ah, I guess those are !”

People buzzed as they looked at the entrance.

, dressed in all-white uniforms with Kyle at the forefront, entered the room.

The fact that they were a group in neat and clean uniforms attracted everyone’s attention.

They didn’t look as gentle as knights, rather, they all looked like tough and capable warriors.

Their leader, Kyle Winston, had rather docile eyes and a pure atmosphere, creating a very different feeling.

All the women blushed.

“The uniform is really cool.”

“The leader’s appearance… It’s really different from what I thought. He seems like a really nice gentleman. I can’t believe he’s exterminating beasts and protecting us…!”

“Oh my gosh, that’s Marquis Kyle Winston. I think I saw him in town!”

This time, everyone expressed themselves freely.

Unlike Sislin and Heinrich, who had suppressed the atmosphere, Kyle seemed to be able to be spoken of wonderfully.

The three and the members of sat on one side at a table (which I made sure to arrange in the corner).

‘Crazy.’

Did I think wrongly?

If the three people were spaced apart, I thought that there would be three spots that the residents would be concerned about, so I put them together.

―But because they were gathered together, there was a huge bouquet effect.

‘Even though I set them at the corner as much as I could, I can only see them…!’

I touched my forehead.

‘It is fortunate that the table is very, very large.’

It was a distance that could be avoided if they wanted to hurt each other.

‘Ignore each other, please.’

I strengthened my grip, hitting the glass again with a spoon to draw attention to me.

Then I smiled broadly.

“Now, let’s have a cake cutting ceremony! It’s a very sweet and delicious cake, so please enjoy it everyone~”

“Wow! Cake!”

“I liwke cwake!”

Fortunately, with the enthusiastic support of the younger guests, the villagers smiled at their cute appearance and paid attention to the cake.

The atmosphere that had been rigid at the appearance of a huge number of guests was relieved to some extent.

“Whew…”

I greeted the guests one after another, and went to ‘that table’ (like visiting a dog house full of hunting dogs).

First up, Kyle Winston.

“Mr. Kyle! Thank you so much for coming.”

He, who had been sitting neatly, stood up with his gentle eyes as soon as he saw me.

“Owner.”

“…….”

“Thank you for inviting us.”

Simultaneously with those words, the members of the shield with slightly scary impressions stood up.

“Miss Annette! I’ve heard a lot about you! It’s really great to see you in person.”

“Miss Annette! …It’s the first time I’ve been invited to a party like this since I was born. It’s touching.”

Among them, the one-eyed man (the other eye was a glass eyeball, which was amazing) brought his hands together tightly to his chest and said seriously.

“Please take good care of our leader.”

“…What? Yes.”

“He may seem strange at times, but he is not as strange as he seems.”

…Yes… yes…?

You know it gets weird sometimes, right?

Then, one of the shields stepped forward and smiled.

“Ah, can I call you sister-in-law?”

“Oh, my.”

“Everyone, stop.”

Kyle stepped forward and cut it off like a knife. My ears were red from embarrassment.

I smiled at the shields.

“I’m glad to see you all too!”

At that single sentence, passionate cheers and animal-like roars erupted. There were others hitting the table, bang bang.

What’s with this reaction… I just said I was glad.

After saying goodbye to them, I went to Heinrich and Sislin.

It was then.

Dang!

There was a bit of a loud noise from the kitchen.

The voice of Aunt Marilyn (the resident who supplied the rum) followed.

“Gosh! What if I mess up the kitchen.”

I thought about it.

‘It’ll be rather good.’

Shashasak, I quickly approached Heinrich and Sislin and said,

“Your Highness the Crown Prince, thank you for coming.”

And since there was only Heinrich around, it was okay to say so openly.

Sislin sat loosely, staring at me with the eyes beneath his dark eyebrows.

“And thank you, Heinrich. Well then…”

Heinrich slightly twisted his lips, showing he didn’t like it.

I greeted them roughly, and gestured towards the kitchen with my eyebrows lowered as if ‘an accident had happened and there was nothing I can do about it.’

Then I quickly ran away.

‘Phew…’

I was relieved only after I turned the corner and leaned against the wall.

‘Thank God.’

The back of the shrimp was unharmed after the greeting.

But it was really weird.

“…I just said hello, but why am I so tired?”

It was clear that my heart had weakened because of the three crazy guys.

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

“What do we do, Miss Annette? The kitchen is so messed up. My twins are such little troublemakers—”

Two five-year-old kids looked up at me with their eyes wide open. 

Aunt Marilyn scolded me sternly.

“You two! Apologize.”

The twins nodded their tiny heads with a genuinely sorry expression.

“It’s okay, they’re kids, so they can cause trouble. I’ll clear it up soon.”

“I’ll do it, Miss Annette.”

‘Oh but, if you take my job, I’ll have to go see crazy people.’

‘That’s not enough…’

I replied promptly with eyes twinkling like a cleaning maniac.

“No, I will clean this place, so go out and look after the twins. It’s dangerous here.”

“Gosh…”

Aunt Marilyn apologized several times and went out with her twins.

I glanced around.

“—It’s a mess.”

This, and that, it’s going to take a long time to clean this up?

The hell party would be over when I’m all done, hm?

‘Whoa, why am I laughing?’

Just then. A languid, low voice was heard from behind.

“Sister.”

“……! Oh, my gosh.”

When I turned around in surprise, I saw Heinrich leaning on the table and smiling.

“…Heinrich.”

His purple eyes narrowed.

“Why are you so surprised? Just like someone who ran away.”

“……!”

I was looking at Heinrich with a pricked heart, and he walked over to my side.

“I’ll help you, Sister.”

“I can do it myself.”

“The floor is full of oil, it’s slippery, you might get hurt.”

—It was the same for you.

‘Fragile Heinrich, with a hand like a cotton cat’s paw, what could you do to help me?’

Heinrich casually picked up a bottle of oil and asked me.

“Sister, why did you call Sislin ‘Your Highness the Crown Prince’? You call me like you used to.”

“That’s right, about Sislin…”

Well, how do I explain it?

“He has changed a lot from before. It’s uncomfortable, and it bothers me when we’re together…”

“It bothers you?”

Heinrich just picked up on that word and asked, staring at me silently.

His eyes were somehow sharply darkened.

“Then, me?”

“Heinrich, is my ‘brother’!”

I smiled, tapped Heinrich’s arm and added,

“My baby. Cute Heinri.”

“…….”

Normally, it would be the time where he would say, ‘That’s right, sister.’

But he was looking at me with an uncomfortable expression on his face.

‘Ah, ah, why is my baby doing that?’

Heinrich said as he dumped the bottle of oil into the trash can.

“Sister, how did you become friends with Marquis Winston?”

“Just because~”

“It’s strange. were originally in the capital, how and why did they get to this Bayonaire?”

‘You have a lot of questions today, Heinrich.’

‘Why are you asking this?’

In addition, from the standpoint of hiding Mr. Kyle’s identity, it was best to avoid such conversation.

‘Let’s use the evasion technique.’

In this case, it was most natural to return the question.

“How did Heinrich come to Bayonaire?”

Like this.

Heinrich turned around, placing his hand on the table.

Then, staring at the innocent face of the girl nearby, he licked his red lips to the point that he looked mean.

“Shall I tell you?”

“…….”

“I made a ‘living Annette doll’.”

I could feel my eyes shaking.

“Sister’s eyes, lips, breath… up to a strand of hair. Remembering everything, the ‘same’.”

His brutally tenacious eyes curved.

“I slept with that doll every day. I was ecstatic to see you again.”

“……!”

The words were engraved in the girl’s trembling eyes as if in shock.

Heinrich took a step forward, looking into her lovely green eyes.

Hah—

My breath caught in my throat.

“I used your soul with that doll, and that’s how I came all the way here.”

“…….”

For a moment, I couldn’t do anything.

At this time, Heinrich rolled his eyes and let out a low laugh.

“It’s a joke, Sister. How could I have done such a creepy thing?”

Stiff, I smiled a little slowly.

“…Yes, I was surprised.”

Heinrich thought she must have been pretty tense; she was leaning against the table, resting her hand on her chest, inhaling and exhaling.

That moment.

Annette’s small body stumbled on the slippery, oily floor.

“……!”

Heinrich caught her in a hug. His strong arms supported her weight, and his large, right hand grabbed her waist.

‘She came into my arms.’

‘What should I do?’

The purple eyes could not hide their desire and narrowed exhilaratingly.

As the startled Annette tried to escape, Heinrich simply stopped her as if he was dealing with a baby.

“Heinrich…”

At her call, rather—

Swssh.

He pulled his face in front of her nose, tightening his arms around her.

As if swallowing the dawn of winter, he asked softly with dark eyes.

“Am I really just like a ‘brother’?”

“…….”

“To me…”

With her trembling pale green eyes, piteously red cheeks, bitten lips… He gave them a close look, then met her eyes again.

He pulled his lips together and smiled.

“You’re a woman.”
