Q: Prince Nicholas, how was it when you first found out that Lady Emir and Lord Jake were dating?

A: Well……. It was surprising at first, but soon I only have congratulations to the two of them. Maybe it’s because they’re old friends, so I’m happy with them.

Q: Your Highness seems to be looking pretty sad right now.

A: Haha, is it? Actually, I suddenly thought about the old days. It’s just amazing when those were only like naughty kids when they were young but grew up to date like this.

Q: Well, Your Highness was also a child back then, right?

A: That’s true, but at least I wasn’t a naughty one.

Q: Khmm, anyway, Your Highness. To  Lady Emir and Lord Jake. What would you like to say to those two lovers?

A: Emir and Jake. May you live a long, happy and healthy life. You two are a really good pair. Even if I don’t say it, your relationship will be strong in the future. I hope that the descendants of Duchy Theion and Marquisate Saeron will prosper from generation to generation…….

Q: Excuse me, but I think it’s getting long?

A: Gee, I still have more to say. So let me just add this one last thing. I will be a good monarch for you. I promise.

About two years after that.

Jake and I finally got married.

It seems like a year has passed since the engagement ceremony was held, but time seems to go by so fast.

In the meantime, a lot of things happened, but if I had to pick a representative one… … .

That Alice and His Highness Nicholas started dating?

‘I don’t know when the two of them started to connect, but anyway, it’s a really good thing.’

Since they are the main characters of the original story, they may have met by fate.

But I don’t think that was the only reason.

In the first place, because of my existence, this world has changed a lot.

There must have been a chance that an interest I didn’t know worked between the two?

‘…… It just makes me happy.’

Oh.

Before the wedding, Ninaina and Alice helped me choose my wedding dress.

The three of us sat side by side on a long couch in the dressing room.

To my right, Alice eagerly flipped through the design book and made suggestions one by one.

“Emir looks good with puffed sleeves like this. How do you like this design?”

Likewise, Ninaina, who was scribbling something while holding the sketchbook to my left, shook her head and retorted.

“Oh dear. No, Alice. Rather, isn’t a dress that barely shows the back and shoulders prettier? Look.”

Alice’s eyes widened as she checked the picture Ninaina had drawn herself.

“Oh my gosh! This is too bold. No, no. Cute things suit our Emir better!”

“…… Why not? Besides, is this even bold? Please don’t listen to that and actively consider my opinion, Emir. Listen to the words of an old friend who has been by your side for over 15 years.”

As Ninaina whispered to me, Alice snorted and crossed her legs.

“Gee, Your Highness. Anyone who hears it will think that Your Highness is Emir’s only best friend for 15 years. Am I not one too?”

After hearing Ninaina and Alice’s non stop arguing, I decided to stop it because I thought a fight would happen.

Friends who helped prepare for the wedding! Don’t let us separate due to an opinion issue!

Because I didn’t want to see this kind of ending.

“Everyone stop……. I understand both opinions. It makes sense.”

“Huh, right? So which of us are you going to follow? Of course…… mine?”

“What are you talking about? Emir seemed to like the design I showed her from the beginning, Your Highness.”

I shook my head.

“I don’t necessarily have to choose just one of the two suggestions. I like both. I think this is the opinion of close friends who have been by my side for a long time.”

Ninaina, who was momentarily dazed by my answer, burst out laughing.

“Emir, you really always give such off-the-cuff answers. Well, you don’t have to choose just one.”

“It’s fair to say, but……. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if you only took my side, Emir.”

Alice pursed her lips, and she put on a slightly displeased expression.

I answered with a small sigh.

“I don’t want to see you two fighting. Both of you are dear friends to me.”

Then Ninaina was surprised and replied.

“Oh, when did I say I was fighting with Alice?”

“I know. Her Highness and I were just giving an opinion for Emir. Of course, there was a very, very little conflict in the process…… ?”

“Hoho.”

“Ahaha.”

The two suddenly put their arms around each other and let out an awkward laugh.

I pretended not to see it and continued with a small smile.

“Thank you, everyone. For helping me choose a dress like this. I know very well that you really care about me a lot and are doing this for me. I will not forget.”

Alice replied with a slight embarrassment.

“Ah, what is it? This much is less than half of my heart that cares for Emir.”

“Right. I’m just doing the obvious as a close friend.”

The two’s words made me I burst into laughter.

Finally, the long-awaited wedding day.

Many nobles from society attended my wedding, and the guests were crowded.

Maybe on this day, Jake and I were the happiest people in the world.

“Emir, my daughter. Congratulations. May you live happily ever after with Young Duke Jake.”

“When did you grow up and get married? Really, this felt new. Even though I knew from a long time ago that the other person would be Jake.”

My parents who love me more than anyone else. I replied by hugging the two of them once.

“Thank you, Mom. Dad. The two of you should continue to live healthily in the future. I will do better in the future.”

Of course, not only my parents but also Jake’s parents, who will now be my new family, congratulated us on our future.

“Emir, you are really dazzlingly lovely today. May you live happily ever after with Jake. If there’s anything you want, say it all, and if you have any difficulties, reach out to me.…… Whatever it is, I’ll take care of it.”

Duchess Theion said she would be my strong support.

“Thank you so much for taking Jake. I don’t know if I can say this…… Jake has only looked at you from before. Of course, it seems to have gotten worse now…… Hmm.”

Duke Theion took a deep breath as if he became emotional.

I seemed to know what the duke was saying, so I silently nodded my head and replied.

“Thank you. And don’t worry. I will only look at Jake and make him happy. Both of you can trust me.”

“Yes, yes. In fact, as long as Jake has you, he’ll be happy with just that…….”

My close friends also came to visit me one by one.

The first to come were Alice and Ninaina.

“Wow, this is really pretty. Emir, you look like an angel. What if you suddenly fly away in the middle of the wedding?”

“Alice too. But that’s not wrong. As expected, my eyes were correct. This dress suits you really well.”

The two of them looked at the dress they had given their opinion on for a while, and congratulated me while handing me a gift.

“Congratulations, Emir. I always wish Emir happiness.”

“Emir and Young Duke Jake’s marriage, I’m very happy that my two best friends got married like this. Emir, congratulations. Be happy.”

After a while, Nicholas and Maya also appeared.

It was Maya who greeted me first.

“Lady Emir, congratulations on your marriage. From now on, as a good friend, I will cheer for the future of Lady and Young Duke.”

“Thank you, Duke Maya.”

Nicholas also congratulated me.

By the way, he has decided to officiate today’s wedding.

“Let me congratulate you in advance. Lady Emir. Sincere congratulations on your marriage. ”

“Thank you, too, Your Highness. Thank you for officiating today.”

It is really rare for the crown prince to officiate directly.

It was such a glorious wedding.
