The final chapter is finally starting!
“Ah… so we’re going to be second-years starting next month…”
Lloyd muttered, slumped over his desk.
Almost a year has passed since we entered the Royal Academy. Today, as befitting students, we were chatting in the classroom.
“More importantly, it’s great that everyone was able to advance a grade without any problems.”
“Really… I somehow managed to get a passing grade on the Year-End Exam thanks to Lord Hal’s Spartan Special Training.”
Liliana wore an expression of heartfelt relief at my wry smile.
Even so, Lize, Liliana, and Lloyd all barely made the cut.
“Since the Practical Exam was canceled, everything depended on the written exam, so Lady Liliana and Lord Lloyd should be proud.”
“Indeed, Monica-san! So, I think Hal-san should give me more rewards (Meat)!”
“By the way, I worked hard too, so I would like a reward as well.”
Monica, joining in with Liliana, pushed up her glasses and begged.
I wish the two of them would stop taking advantage of the situation.
“I see… If Monica and Liliana want rewards that much, then I will prepare them for you?”
“Hiiiieee!?”
The highlights disappeared from her Sapphire Eyes, and Sandra grinned, the corner of her mouth lifting.
The two of them let out a soft scream when they saw that.
Haa… You should have known this would happen from the start.
“Come now, Sandra, don’t get so angry. It’s not like this is unusual for these two.”
“Lord Hal… really.”
When I took her hand and calmed her down, Sandra pouted.
My favorite fiancée is just so jealous today. Cute.
“Aaaaaaa! Moooooo! Why do you always, always show off! Explode! Fall off!”
For some reason, Lloyd started scratching his head and yelling here.
Well, I don’t mean to show off, but for Lloyd, who has neither a fiancée nor a girlfriend, the sight of me and Sandra being so close seems to be too much to bear. You should watch more.
Well, but… Lloyd also had someone he liked.
However, it’s a boy (male).
“I wonder how he’s doing…”
“? Lord Hal?”
“Huh? Ah, no, it’s nothing.”
Sandra looked into my face with a questioning look, and I hurriedly brushed it off.
It’s only been three months, but he’s somehow become one of my ‘Precious Things,’ so I feel a bit complicated.
Even so.
“…We’ll probably meet again soon.”
However—as enemies to each other.

“Prince Harold, the item you ordered has arrived.”
“! It’s finally here!”
At Monica’s report, delivered with a respectful bow, I jumped out of bed in the Dormitory and rushed over.
I’m glad it made it in time.
“But, why this time of year for a gift for the Young Lady? Her birthday was just two months ago…”
“It’s fine, it’s fine.”
Yes… I absolutely needed this gift.
It was a bit pricey, but I guess it can’t be helped this time. Rather, I wanted to prepare something even more amazing, but this was the limit in three months.
“Hee, nice…”
“Hmm? Caz, do you want something like this too?”
“Yeah! It’s sparkly and so pretty!”
“I see.”
Hmm… Caz is my important partner, so it would be fine to give her a gift.
Even so…
“? What’s wrong?”
“N, no, how about we go out to the city to take a look right now?”
“! R, really?”
“Of course.”
I nodded with a smile at the surprised Caz.
“Yay! Hooray, hooray!”
“Caz-san, that’s wonderful.”
While watching Caz rejoice with great excitement, Monica kept glancing at me.
Ah, yes, yes. You want one too, don’t you?
So.
“Uwaaaaaa…!”
We came to a jewelry store in the center of the Royal Capital.
Caz is gazing at the display window, her eyes sparkling.
By the way, Sandra has been asked to stay in the Dormitory this time. (To be precise, I didn’t tell her.)
Because if I brought her along, I would have to explain how we ended up coming here, including the circumstances.
I can’t let her find out that I’m going to give her a present.
“What kind of accessory do you want? …Although, in Caz’s case, it would have to be a Collar.”
“Yeah! That’s fine! Ah, but, I can choose the jewel, right?”
“Of course.”
Yes, yes. Caz is so cute when she’s excited.
In the end, is Caz a boy (male)? Or a girl?
At least Caz had a mother, so she probably has a gender… I mean.
“Ah… this…”
What I found was a topaz necklace, the color of Monica’s eyes.
I’m sure it will suit her.
“Excuse me. Could I see this, please?”
“Certainly.”
After receiving the topaz necklace from the store clerk.
“Monica, come here for a moment.”
“? Yes…”
I beckoned to Monica, who was with Caz, and went behind her.
“Ah…”
“Yeah. It really suits you.”
Looking at Monica with the necklace on, I nodded with satisfaction.
Monica is so beautiful. I knew something like this would suit her.
“Excuse me. I’ll take this one too.”
“Thank you very much.”
“Eh!? P, Prince Harold!?”
The moment I ordered from the clerk, Monica raised her voice.
You usually tease and beg, but when I actually give you a present like this, you immediately hold back.
“Sorry, but I won’t accept a refusal. You are my ‘Precious Thing,’ and my irreplaceable One and Only Personal Maid.”
“You really are…!”
Seeing Monica’s unusually moved expression, I smiled.
I’m happy to be able to see her like this.
However.
“Lord Hal…?”
“Yes…”
As soon as I returned to the Dormitory, Sandra started questioning me intensely.
