Cedric's room was a sunny room in the living quarters of the royal palace.

The room was simple, with only a large bed, a closet, a sofa, and a table.

"Come, sit down."

"Excuse me."

Sam sat down at the suggestion of the couch, and Cedric offered him a plate lined with cookies.

He had asked the maid who had passed by before to bring him some tea.

"I'm sorry this is the only hospitality I can offer you, but please eat.

"Bon appétit."

Sam was hungry, so he did not hesitate to put a cookie in his mouth.

They were crunchy, sweet and melt-in-your-mouth, and tasted like tea, so I guessed they were tea cookies.

They tasted better than the cookies he usually bought in the castle town. As expected of the prince, he eats good food.

"So, um, what is it that you want to talk about?"

"- Actually, there's a girl I like."

"...... huh?"

The consultation was, by no means, a love affair.

To be honest, I can't hide my confusion.

I wondered if a court wizard should meddle in the love affairs of a prince who is nominated to be the next king of the kingdom.

But that does not mean that he should ignore the matter.

"Are you the daughter of some nobleman?"

"No, I don't think so. If I were, it would have been much easier to talk.

"Well, who are you, then?"

At Sam's question, Cedric's cheeks turned red and he hesitated.

He must have been embarrassed to reveal the name of the person he loves, even if it is just for a consultation.

"I'm not going to hide it from Sam," Cedric said. I'm going to come clean. The person I like is Louise, the head maid.

"...... that is."

I swallowed my words as I was about to say, "Are you sure you're okay?

Sam knows Louise, the head maid at the palace.

Today, she was the one who showed Sam to King Clyde's office and brought him tea when he was summoned to the palace.

Louise is a woman of refinement. Sam does not know her origin, but she is a very beautiful and capable woman. I remember her as a person worthy of the position of head maid.

It's just..,

"Um, if I remember correctly, she is quite old, isn't she?"

"Yes, 30 years old."

It is not unusual for a 15-year-old boy to have a 30-year-old woman as his lover.

Older women have charms that their peers do not have.

Even Sam, all of his wives are older than him.

"Are you married?"

"No, I haven't."

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No. There are men who are courting her, but Louise doesn't seem to be interested. I've already looked into her as much as I can.

"Uh, yes."

(A little stalker? No, no. But I feel like I'm close to Günther. (Oh, we're cousins, aren't we?)

"By the way, did Cedric-sama have a fiancée?"

"No, I don't. If there were candidates, there would be more than one to choose from. ......"

"But?"

"The candidates have been involved in a family squabble, so it hasn't been decided yet."

"Wow."

I should say that he is indeed a prince.

He is the future queen of the kingdom, and he will be the fiancée of Cedric, who is nominated to be the next king. That's what he's going to try to do with his eyes.

Parents also have access to royal connections and power, so it is understandable that they would be eager to make their daughters the future queen.

However, I really don't like it when they make their mates with such calculations and greed.

I want to make the same face. I don't want to get involved in that area, so I leave it alone, which is fine, but my mother and grandmother try to find new candidates, telling me to choose a fiancee as soon as possible. But I--"

"I like you, Louise."

"Mm-hmm. I'm kind of embarrassed to talk about this.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha, yes."

I liked Cedric because he was royalty but not sleazy.

I want him to be happy with the person he loves, but his position makes it difficult.

Especially, his age might be the biggest problem.

"Well, I have a question..."

"Ask me anything."

Why Louise?

"--I'm the first person to do that."
