Even though I’m the son of a Marquis, most people don’t pay attention to me, the second son. It was already decided that my older brother would become the next family head. I also thought that I would just become a civil official working at the royal castle and marry some lady from a prominent family. Of course, the people around me would have thought so too.
It’s not like I’m good with swords, nor that I’m particularly good at studying. No matter what I was asked to do, I was neither good nor bad at it.
I’m not good-looking, nor do I have a good figure. No matter where you look, I look nothing but an ordinary-looking person.
That’s why it was so unbelievable that I’m engaged to His Highness, the Crown Prince.
I guess it means that I wasn’t worthy of the position from the beginning. However, I was the one who told my father that I would do anything.
Even so, I still can’t bear to watch the one I love give their love to someone else.
Why did he choose me as his Fiance?
The answer to the question that I’ve thought about so many times was actually very obvious.
This was clearly a political marriage.
Same-sex marriage wasn’t prohibited here in the Kingdom of Freesia, but it wasn’t very common. Even if there were same-sex couples who wanted to get married, most of them would not actually get married because they’re worried about what others would think of them.
However, more than ten years ago, there was an oracle that said, “If the Son of Man is not truly united with the one he loves, disaster will eventually befall him.”
Since it was impossible to know when or what kind of calamity might befall them, the temple and the royal family decided to actively encourage all forms of marriage.
However, people’s attitudes and values did not change so easily.
Therefore, in order to show the general public that any form of marriage was free, the council began to suggest that someone from the royal family should marry first as an example. However, due to issues pertaining to the succession to the throne, this suggestion did not progress very far.
However, three years ago, a study in Divine Medicine discovered a way so that same-sex couples can still reproduce.
When the time came to decide who would be the heir to the throne, Michael-sama was chosen, and I was also chosen as his partner. As long as we can produce an heir, the problem of succession to the throne will be solved.
I was the perfect candidate. A healthy second son from a prominent family who didn’t need to inherit the title and was similar in age to the prince. Well, it also probably has something to do with my father, Roland, who was the King’s right-hand man.

To begin with, I never wanted to break off our engagement.
Even if I knew that he hated me and that he loved someone else, I would never stop loving him.
Because I have always liked Michael-sama.
When I arrived at the royal castle, I slowed down my pace to look at the beautiful scenery as I walked along the way to the Queen’s palace where the Queen was waiting for me.
Roses were blooming in the garden.
I remembered that time…
Michael-sama probably doesn’t remember anymore, but we actually met for the first time in the garden of the royal castle.
It was when I was younger and just started going to school. My father took me to the royal castle, where I got lost. I was sitting on the raised garden bed inside the royal garden.
It was such a beautiful garden full of blooming roses, but their thorns were tangled together and it was hard for me to get out.
Feeling lonely, I hugged my knees and was about to cry, when an angelic voice asked, “What’s wrong?”
When I looked up, I saw a boy who was as beautiful as an angel. I was surprised by his sudden appearance and I quickly retracted my tears.
“What’s wrong? Are you lost?”
“Ah, uh, yes”
“It’s okay. I’ll guide you to the exit.”
The angelic boy had a lovely smile on his face as he gently held my hand, helping me stand.
That was how I met Michael-sama.
“What’s your name?”
“Leon.”
“I’m Michael. Oh right, let me show you something good.”
“?”
I was shy at the start and didn’t move an inch, but when I was prompted by the angelic boy, strangely enough, I answered his question and followed him.
He took me by the hand and led me to a flower garden at the back of the garden.
“Wow! Awesome!”
There was a field of freesia flowers. A beautiful field of white, yellow, red, and purple freesias. A colorful field appeared before my eyes.
While I was captivated by the beautiful colors, I didn’t notice that the angelic boy had already freed my hand and had walked towards the flower garden.
After that…
“Here, for you. It suits you very well.”
He gave me several white freesia flowers and put one on my head.
“Thank you!”
I was so happy and was not able to hold back my excitement. I thanked him with a big smile on my face.
“Uh… It’s my pleasure.”
I have always remembered Michael-sama’s captivating smile from that day.
That encounter was the beginning of my first love.
Later, when I found out that the boy was the crown prince, I cried a lot thinking that my wish to be with him would never come true and troubled my parents.
However, even if my wish hadn’t come true, I would have still supported His Highness, the Crown Prince from the shadows as a member of the Marquis family.
When I entered middle school, I rarely met him, but he was always kind whenever we met.
I don’t think he still remembered what happened in that flower garden.
Every time, I could see his kind personality. He was so full of compassion for everyone, and every time I see his warm smile, even if it’s not directed at me, I still feel happy.
I realized that I liked this person.
However, I was suddenly chosen to be his fiancé. Thinking that I would be able to live with him from now on made my heart burst with joy.
Even so…
But why?
I took out a pocket watch from my inner pocket and looked at the pressed freesia flowers.
The bright color of the freesia I received back then was still the same.
But, why had he changed so much?…
