time to remember the male lead~ the heroine will be introduced later in the story so we'll think about her later. for now, let's focus on how and when you'll get to meet the male lead. the world you're in probably has 3 males, the male lead and two other side characters. the male lead is usually a prince and engaged to you, the villainess.

this engagement is an arranged one, meaning both of you don't actually love each other. usually, you would meet the male lead when you were a child. it's either he invited you or he came to your house. if this happened, make sure to greet him nicely. princes always smile, but underneath it he would ridicule them. that's why don't be fooled by his smile! treat him like a friend and just play with him like normal. don't treat him as a prince, treat him as a friend. remember this!

if you can befriend him, that would be great. you would at least have a chance to not encounter a bad ending that involves you getting kil- never mind.

"canaria greets the crown prince"

a blue-haired boy walks in with his head held high. canaria silently observes his face and sure enough, he's always smiling. it creeps her out someway. "greetings to you too, lady astrelle. I'm sorry for coming unannounced. i just wanted to see my lovely fiancee myself so bad you see."

canaria laughs as she guides the prince towards the garden. "i hope we can become good friends, prince serhan." for the first time ever since she met him, he looked surprised. it was just for a split second but canaria caught it. he then laughs heartily before replying "yes, I'm sure we can, lady astrelle"

"canaria! are you okay? does your body still hurt? do you need more medication?"

octavianus rambles on and on, canaria just woke up from her slumber and was rather confused on what happened. "please calm down brother, did something happen?"

octavianus sighs before explaining the situation. the prince and canaria were walking around the garden when suddenly an assassin ambushed them. he was aiming for the prince and because he was in canaria's line of view, she quickly shoved the prince. unfortunately, he missed his target and hits canaria instead. 

"we shouldn't have left the two of you with just a maid! i'm sorry, can. i'm really sorry for not being able to protect you..." he hugs her tightly with his arms trembling. canaria pats his back, soothing the crying male. "it's okay brother, it wasn't your fault. i was reckless. but I'm fine now so it's okay."

he nods before releasing you from the warm hug. just in time, the prince opens the door and runs to your side. "lady astrelle! do you feel any pain? should i call the royal doctor here to examine you more thoroughly?"

"no, it's okay prince serhan. i don't feel any pain at all!" she smiles at him. octavianus decided to leave the two of you alone to talk about it. prince serhan watches her smile gently at him, not a hint of malicious intent or hate could be seen. 

"why did you do that? you know you would get hurt..."

canaria looks at him as if he was talking about ridiculous things. "of course i saved you! you're my friend and the prince of my country! how could i not save you?"

prince serhan was stunned by canaria's outburst. hearing her earnest words, he couldn't help but feel warm inside. people who got close to him all were aiming for his position, for his riches. none of them were ever serious about being his friend. but she... she-

"thank you canaria"

canaria who didn't know what was happening in his thoughts looked confused before smiling beautifully at him. "your welcome i guess?" 

i will protect you, canaria astrelle. i promise with my life.
