　A few days have passed since I went out with His Highness. Since that day, I've been wearing a ring given to me by His Highness on my left ring finger, and I've been looking at it more often.
　Just by looking at the falcon crest, I feel like I can see His Majesty right in front of me, and I feel even closer to him. In addition, this ring fits my finger right away, and it feels like it's natural to wear it for a long time.

"I'm happy that you gave me such an enthusiastic look, but I think I'd be even happier if you looked at me today."
"Ah, Your Highness! I'm sorry."

　While I was impatient, His Highness covered his mouth with his hand, shook his shoulders, and burst into laughter. And he narrowed his eyes, prefaced by "No," and relaxed his cheeks happily, "If Rachelle is happy, that's the happiest thing for me."

　I can feel my face heat up at that expression.

"Ever since the day I received it, I've been staring at it..."
"I envy the ring to be stared at by Rachel so enthusiastically."

His Highness took my hand, gently dropped his lips, and lifted the corners of his mouth.
　Seeing that sultry expression, I blushed unintentionally and tried to withdraw my hand, but His Highness interrupted my movement and grabbed me tightly.

"I'm not going to run away anymore."
"Escape...I won't do that."

　Hearing my words, His Highness looked happy and gave me a sweet, loving smile. When I thought that His Highness, who always had a cheerful smile on his face as the crown prince, would show me his natural expression, I would be happy to think that he trusted me just for that.
　At the same time, wanting to monopolize this smile of His Highness……that kind of vulgar thought came to mind.

　――Even though I want His Highness to smile a lot, I don't want that to be directed at other people. I'm stunned by my own jealousy.

　In my first life I was destroyed by vanity and jealousy. I don't want to repeat the same mistake.

　Even so, even if His Highness finds out what's in my heart... please, please don't hate me.
　While hiding the black swirling haze in the depths of my chest, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

“Rachel, should we stop today?”
"e?"
"You look very worried, and..."

　Following His Highness's gaze, there was my hand grabbing the hem of His Highness's jacket.

--I've done it again.

　My face turned pale when I saw His Highness looking into my face with a worried expression.
　Recently, when His Highness told me, I realized that I tend to relax when I'm with His Highness, and I end up doing things I can't even think of.

"I'm sorry"

　When I let go of His Highness's clothes, His Highness gently stroked my hair and slid his hand over my cheeks, lowering my eyebrows.

“I am well aware that you have a personality that is easy to hold onto. Even so, I would like to share my anxiety and unpleasant things with you. from"
"There's no such thing! Just meeting His Highness makes me feel happy. Even today, I'm looking forward to meeting His Highness..."
"Rachel..."

　After hearing my words, His Highness opened his eyes wide, and instantly broke his face as if against a background of roses in full bloom.
　However, right after that, he turned his gaze to a large door that could be seen in the distance and let out a sigh.

“Me too, Rachel. Just seeing you makes me happy, my heart is filled, and I am happy.

　
　have an audience with His Majesty. Hearing those words, my body involuntarily stiffened.
However, I was the one who decided to have an audience with His Majesty today, so I stepped forward to keep myself strong and turned my gaze to His Highness.
