“Long time no see, Rebecca.”

Hearing that, I slowly turned around.

Standing there was a man who was half a head taller than me, with splendid golden hair that seemed to reflect the light of the sun, and emerald eyes that made even the greenest of fresh greens seem faded. ――It was His Highness the Crown Prince.

A little over three years ago, when I got engaged to Prince Garrett, I was given the opportunity to greet Prince Garrett and the crown prince, Prince Ethan.

Since then, I have never met Prince Ethan personally. Of course, it\'s been three years since I last heard from him.

His Royal Highness Prince Ethan will turn 21 this year. His majestic appearance, which attracted the attention of many people just by entering the venue, showed the dominance of a crown prince that I did not feel three years ago.

He is a member of a magic division, and I hear that he does not miss his daily training in the midst of his busy political work. It is rumored that under his military uniform, which emphasizes practical use, he hides a toned and supple body, and that his spirit is like steel.

Although he is dressed in the minimum of royal attire, he does not like to be flashy in his daily life. His Highness Ethan carries a sword, uses magic, trains from time to time, and sometimes goes to defeat demons; he can be described as a man of good health.

That would be true if I knew him more familiarly …

I suddenly realized I had to discipline myself.

Here in front of me was the crown prince of the Kingdom of Lendor. The heir to the illustrious throne, also known as the Prince of the Sun. I can’t think of him in a familiar way.

“His Royal Highness Prince Ethan …"

I tore my gaze away, picked up my skirt, and bowed at the waist.
