Monica Ashton’s Perspective
“Fufu… Did you see? My Lord Hal has now taken control of the Royal Guard as well.”
In a room of the Chevalier family’s townhouse in the Royal Capital, the Young Lady is happily recounting the events of the day. Indeed, as the Young Lady says, Prince Harold brilliantly served as the host for the Delegation from the Barthian Holy Kingdom, securing a connection with the Holy Kingdom through the Lady Saint, and gaining the support of Minister Olson and other civil officials.
In addition, he was entrusted with the important role of Goodwill Ambassador to the Capetien Kingdom, formed friendships with Princess Lisette and Second Princess Eline, and even resolved the Coup d’état incident, achieving unparalleled success.
And now, the control of the Royal Guard. Prince Harold has earned the trust of the proud Guardsmen with his ability, and Commander Drake has even offered him his sword.
Prince Harold’s activities this past year have been remarkable, and his influence within the Royal Palace is now immense. If he so desired, he could push aside First Prince Cardis and Second Prince Raphael and seize the throne for himself.
However, Prince Harold has no interest in such things and, on the contrary, wishes to be adopted into the Chevalier family as a Son-in-law. To those who don’t know him, he may seem “unambitious,” but to me, who serves him most closely, there is no one more greedy than he.
More so than the Young Lady, who offers the Dragon’s Favor.
“Speaking of which, Young Lady, you restrained yourself well. Both in the Capetien Kingdom and with the Royal Guard, this Monica was constantly worried about when you might lose control.”
“Muu… I, I am growing, you know? I made the mistake of showing Lord Hal my out-of-control self in front of that Saint, but I won’t make the same mistake twice.”
The Young Lady pouts, turning her face away. However, as far as I could tell from observing her, she was definitely on the verge of losing control.
Although the color of her eyes didn’t turn red, her pupils were changing into slits.
“In any case, if you wish to be with Prince Harold, please continue to be careful.”
“I, I know!”
I remind the Young Lady once more. It may be bothersome to her, but I will offer my advice as many times as necessary.
For the happiness of the Young Lady and Prince Harold is my happiness.

“Hey, Monica… Was Sandra-san alright?”
As soon as Prince Harold returned to the Royal Palace from the Young Lady’s townhouse, he asked with a worried expression.
Hmm…? The Young Lady is fine today as well… or rather, ever since the Dragon’s Favor manifested, she hasn’t even caught a cold, let alone when she first met Prince Harold as a child. She has no worries other than those concerning Prince Harold, and I can’t think of anything.
However, Prince Harold, who is the beloved fiancée of the Young Lady, must have noticed something.
“I apologize, but as far as I could see, the Young Lady seemed her usual self.”
“I, I see. That’s good then…”
“Is something the matter?”
“Ah… well…”
Prince Harold seemed a little hesitant, but as if having made up his mind, he told me. That when he visited the Royal Guard’s barracks, the Young Lady’s eyes, though the color didn’t change, had become reptilian.
…So, Prince Harold noticed it too.
“I told Monica before, but Sandra’s eyes turned red, and she tried to harm the Lady Saint. The color remained a sapphire blue, but her pupils changed…”
“I see…”
I nodded with a solemn expression to Prince Harold, who was looking down slightly. However, I suddenly wondered.
What does Prince Harold think of the Young Lady, who has been changed by the Dragon’s Favor?
“…If”
“Monica?”
“If the Young Lady’s true form were something like what you saw before, what would you think…?”
I shouldn’t have, but I asked such a thing. With this, Prince Harold will think that I know the Young Lady’s secret. It’s obvious that I’ll be bombarded with questions soon.
And he will be disillusioned with me for saying “I don’t know” despite knowing…
But.
“Hmm… It’s true that I was a little surprised that Sandra was different from her usual self. Of course, there was a moment when I was a little scared.”
“…………………………”
“But, you see, I think Sandra became like that because she was angry for my sake. In other words, I made her feel that bad.”
Prince Harold spoke to me with a serious expression, carefully choosing his words. In each one, I can see his love and consideration for the Young Lady.
Really… the Young Lady has an eye for people. It’s no wonder the Dragon’s Favor manifested.
“So, if that form is the real Sandra, then of course I’ll accept it… no, that’s not right. That Sandra is also my most precious fiancée in the world.”
As he said that, Prince Harold smiled shyly, but happily.
“…The Young Lady is loved by Prince Harold and is the happiest person in the world.”
“I, is that so… Ah, but this is a secret from Sandra, okay?”
“Understood. I will keep today’s events locked in this Monica’s heart.”
I bowed deeply to Prince Harold, who was playfully joking.
Vowing absolute loyalty to the most wonderful master in the world.
