Thus, the tasteless lunch ended.

“Alright then, Your Highness Grimwald, the young lady and I will—”

“—Eh, but aren’t we in the same classroom?”

Even if I wanted to part with the second prince as soon as possible, unfortunately, it was as he said.

Previously, I’d planned to discuss something with Silver, but this yandere was interrupting me… Should I activate the [Ultimate Technique: ‘Ah, I’m Dizzy~’]?

“Hey, Lumiere!”

Suddenly, a very friendly voice interrupted us.

A beautiful girl with fluttering pink hair—Irene, came running towards me while waving her hand. Of course, running in the corridor was considered improper.

However, instead of calling her out on it, Prince Grimwald said something else.

“Look, Silver, it’s your lover!”

His voice echoed down the hallway.

“Eh, no, I—!”

“Oh, c’mon, Silver, don’t be shy? I’ll take care of Lumiere. Besides, Ragri is with me.”

Ragri was Prince Grimwald’s attendant.

Also known as the best servant among all his servants, Ragri always tailed the second prince in his shadow. Originally, he was the third son of a duke. Unfortunately, he was the son of a mistress. As such, he had to enter the royal palace from an early age and devoted himself to serving the first prince.

…Indeed, Ragri used to serve Prince Redmond. But after Prince Grimwald entered the academy, Ragri was gifted to him.

Of course, Prince Redmond had a new attendant. Furthermore, he had Bruno and Hielo with him. Usually, attendants wouldn’t speak unless being ordered to. Only Silver was bold enough to speak his mind and tease his master.

Although Ragri was older than Silver, they were in the same grade. But instead of saying anything, he only bowed to Silver.

‘What do I do?’ Silver eyed me. I quietly nodded. Since the other party was the second prince, thinking what would happen if we disobeyed his command was scary.

Thus, Silver bowed to us.

“Let me clarify, my relationship with Irene isn’t like that. Then, I shall excuse myself.”

“Of course. You don’t have to worry about Lumiere.”

Before leaving, Silver glanced at me with concern for one last time, before approaching Irene.

“Well, then…” The second prince held out his hand. “Speaking of which, do you have any plans for tomorrow’s day off?”

Even though I had a bad feeling about it, I just tilted my head and said, “Koten?”

Prince Grimwald smiled at me.

“I’m sure Silver is tired and eagerly waiting for an opportunity to go on a date with his lover once in a while. How about you give him some time off?”

—Then who’ll take care of me?

When I frowned, the second prince explained as if he had a firm grasp on my mind.

“In the meantime, we can go on a date, too? My brother has returned to the castle, right? Then, isn’t it my duty as his sibling to escort you on our time off instead?”

“Hey, please?”

He tightly grasped my hand…

…I didn’t have an onomatopoeia to reject his invitation.

“—So, please enjoy your day off tomorrow.”

“No, wait, why do I have to go on a date with her!?”

I let Silver remove my coat again today.

I turned to look at him.

“…Aren’t the two of you dating?”

“Huh? Me and Irene?”

Up until I sat down on the bed, Silver was still agape.

But then, he clapped his hands.

“Ahaha, Milady is so adorable! So, is that what the past few days was really about!? Are you jealous!?”

“W-who are you calling jealous!?”

I got up from the bed and rushed towards Silver.

—What right does he have to…

But then, I sat down once again.

“I, I just want you to be happy…”

“Me? Happy?”

“Well, don’t you have your own life too?”

After all, the relationship between the master and the servant was nothing more than a work-related relationship.

I spoke while averting my gaze. Silver reached out to touch my cheek.

“Ah, I’m so happy…”

“…Silver?”

“That somber face of yours really fascinates me… I want to make you cry.”

As he forced me to face him, I saw him licking his lips with delight.

Then in the next moment, Silver suddenly let go. For some reason, he felt the need to check his collar.

“Well then, let’s go on a dates tomorrow. Please enjoy your date with His Highness Grimwald, Milady…”

Silver was smiling beautifully.
