It all started two and a half years ago.
The relationship between me and Michael-sama began when I entered the Royal Academy High School. Before that, my relationship with the Crown Prince, Michael-sama, had been limited to that of the son of a noble family.
As the second son of Marquis Fermar, I used to go in and out of the royal palace with my father, and I also attended the Royal Academy Middle School, so I had a few opportunities to see Michael-sama. Michael-sama also recognized me as the son of a marquis, and we were just acquaintances, exchanging formal greetings whenever we met.
Three days before the high school entrance ceremony, I was summoned to the office by my father, Roland.
“Father, you wanted to see me?”
“Oh, Leon. I’m sorry for the urgency. I had to tell you as soon as possible….”
“What is it about?”
“Uh, that…umm…”
It was rare for my father to be hesitant, and I braced myself for something very difficult to say. I wonder how difficult it is to choose words like this when you are in a hurry.
I opened my mouth with determination in front of my father, who has a romance gray hair that has begun to mix with gray hair.
“Father, I am also a man born into the Marquis family. I am prepared for certain things. Did you get an order for me to be dispatched to war? Or did you have to return your territory because your business failed? If I cannot go to the academy, I’ll work too. What do I need to do?”

“Ah…, you’re right. I’m sorry, I wasn’t ready for it. This is a decision, so it’s no longer something that can be changed based on an individual’s willingness. Listen carefully.”

“Me? Not my sister Elise? Me, with Crown Prince Michael-sama?”
“That’s right. The next three years of high school will be the engagement period, and you will also learn about Queen education and so on. After completing high school, you will officially get married. After graduating, you will support the country as the Crown Princess. With that in mind, you must do your best to study hard and support His Highness. This is a royal command and you are not allowed to disobey it.”
My father told me about his future plans as if he was half talking to himself. I still don’t quite understand it, but I managed to nod my head, telling myself that this was not the time to be talking about such things.
“Ye, Yes, I understand”
I left my father’s office, who nodded back at me. I went back to my room and was in a daze for a while.
Three days passed in a blink before I had time to sort out my feelings, and before I knew it, the entrance ceremony was approaching.
On the day of the entrance ceremony, my father told me to go and greet Michael-sama first, so I visited his office in the academy. When a royal family member, not just Michael-sama, enrolls in the academy, an office is prepared for them to live while performing their official duties.
I never thought that I would visit this room. I knocked on the door nervously and heard a voice from inside saying, “Come in.”
I gulped once before I gently opened the door.
“Excuse me. I am Leon Fermar, son of Marquis Fermar. I am here to greet you Michael-sama.”
“Oh, oh! It’s you, come on in.”
Being urged to go inside the room, I somehow managed to keep my legs from shaking with nervousness and came in front of Michael-sama across the office desk.
Michael-sama, who lifted his face from the paperwork and looked at me, was incredibly beautiful. I was afraid to look directly at him, so I immediately looked down.
My heart is pounding so hard that it seems like it will jump out of my mouth.
Michael-sama, how beautiful you are today.
It was a miracle that he, who I had always only watched from afar and only had the bare minimum interaction with, was now in front of me.
I’m feeling dizzy from the excitement.
I, in fact, was so nervous and full of joy that I almost fainted.
Because I have admired Michael-sama for a long time.
When I was told about the engagement, I was so shocked that I couldn’t process the sudden news. When I was told that I was engaged to someone I secretly had feelings for, I couldn’t believe it and I couldn’t just say “Yes, I see.”. It was so impossible that I was bewildered by it. To be honest, I couldn’t digest my emotions for about three days, but when I actually saw Michael-sama in front of me, my heart was filled with joy.
“Oh, Leon… Fermar-kun, was it? I will be your fiancé from today.”
“Ye, Yes! I know I’m an inexperienced person, but please take care of me. I will do my best from now on to be of service to Your Highness!”
“Oh, nice to meet you.”
Michael-sama’s gentle, deep and lustrous voice was heard nearby, and I couldn’t raise my head even more.
I was so occupied with myself that I didn’t even have time to see how Michael-sama was doing, so when the chamberlain who came to call him came into the room, I was forced to leave the place.
At that time, even if it was just a political marriage for Michael-sama, I thought that we would be able to build a friendly relationship.
When will be the NXT update
Ohh this is good!! Update when you can!! ❤️❤️
🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for this story 🙏🙏🙏
all those “ye, yes” looks like stammer to me… As if leon is stammering at that word… ye… yes
Yesss, It is a stammer but the original text if it’s machine translated sounds like “Ha”. But it’s actually “Hai!” or “Yes!” in English XD Although thank you for bringing that up. I think my brain lagged when translating this Haha
“はあ” is a formal way of saying “yes.”
hmmm how’d it break bad? 💚 thanks for translating
