“I like you just the way you are.”
“Eh?”
Cecilia opened her eyes wide and then understood the words and blushed.
“Well, I mean…”
In front of Cecilia’s puzzled eyes, Syxe took out a small box from his pocket and said to Cecilia.
“Since I was a boy, I have already fallen in love with you.”
“Eh?”
Syxe remembers his childhood.
When he was still a child, Syxe was always shunned because of his appearance.
The only reason was that he was so rare in this country.
Even though he had the same color of hair as the so-called wise king of the past, it didn’t serve as a shield.

The stewards and maids-of-honor kept their distance from him, and he made no real friends.
Cecilia was the only one who could smile like the sun at Syxe.
[My name is Cecilia, fiancée of Hubert-sama, and I greet His Highness the Second Prince Syxe.
[R-Right.]
[Hubert-sama is busy today, so Hubert-sama told me to spend time with His Highness Syxe. Um, is that alright?]
[Um… Yes, I don’t mind, but… Don’t you hate being with someone like me?]
[Eh?! Well, if it’s okay with His Highness Syxe, I’d be happy to spend time with you.]
[Really?!]
[Yes. Ufufufu, what do you want to play?]
Ever since the day she saw that smile as bright as the sun, Cecilia has been in Syxe’s heart.
—Every time I saw her at the palace, I looked forward to talking with her.
How many times did I thank Hubert in my heart for ordering her to play with me?
And how many times did I despair that she was not my fiancée?
I kept closing my heart and telling myself that she would never be my fiancée and that all that mattered was that Cecilia was happy.
But now the lid is off.
“Miss Cecilia has never once turned me down. You have no idea how much that meant to me. I’ve always had feelings for you. But I’ve kept my distance for your sake.”
Syxe holds Cecilia’s hand.
“But I don’t want to do this anymore. I can’t leave you to my brother.”
“Your Highness Syxe…”
Syxe opens a small box.
Inside shone a silver ring with a beautiful gem.
“Please, will you marry me? I promise, I will make you happy.”
“B-But how should you tell His Majesty the King and the Queen?”
“I’ve already spoken to them. Please? Will you give me the honor of standing next to you?”
Cecilia’s face flushed red, and her gaze wandered.
She has never been stared at with such feverish eyes before, and her heart is pounding.
“B-But.”
“Miss Cecilia, I love you.”
At these words, Cecilia bites her lip and slowly opens her mouth.
“Yes, with pleasure.”
Syxe broke into a happy smile and slowly slipped the ring onto Cecilia’s ring finger.
Then she took her hand in hers and said,
“I will make you the happiest woman in the world.”
Smiling happily, Cecilia nodded, wondering if she would ever be happy with this person.
