The other day, when I took the final exam, I knew that the prince would take it seriously, so I studied hard too.
And the results were!
First place, Mikhael Yurigrand.
Second place, Flora Czerny.
Third place, Ekaterina Yurinova.
…I placed third.
Well, it was a result of hard work, right?
I congratulated the prince and Flora-chan from the bottom of my heart.
I think they were both admirable.
The prince may even have full marks in all subjects.
Flora-chan and I checked our answers, and we thought we got a pretty good score, but he went above and beyond.
[I’m relieved…and happy. I’ve never felt like this before in my life.]
I was impressed by the prince, who was smiling bitterly when he saw the rankings posted on the board. I guess he had never tried so hard to score points.
To be honest, I was a little frustrated, but I am also glad he was rewarded. I would be honored if this becomes a memorable part of his school life when he eventually becomes emperor, yes.
Big brother did his best to support me. It was only natural that he was busy preparing for the workshop, and what he did for me was far more valuable than my schoolwork, or any other things.
He even gave me a big hug and patted me on the head in front of the ranking list! How much of a reward is that! I was rather happy to be third!
But big brother, who even at the time when he must have had times of great difficulty just after succeeding to the dukedom, was still holding on to the first place. …It was embarrassing in comparison to my own.
I couldn’t help but think about it.
[Big brother is too lenient with me. He will spoil me.]
Then big brother stopped patting my head and spoke with sadness.
[…do you hate it now?]
Boom! Then an affection rocket ignited with a bang and broke through the stratosphere in one second, and reached outer space. The earth was blue!
One rocket of affection, one second!
What the hell are you talking about, me?
I returned the hug as hard as I could and tried my best to say that this was impossible, but the prince was holding his forehead and muttering as if he was trying to hold back a headache.
[…How can I catch up with him?]
What was the point of catching up? You were already in the first place.
By the way, at that time, there was an unusually dense population with Marina-chan and the other girls in our class and a senior girl who seemed to be in her third year (big brother’s classmate?).
I wonder if everyone worked hard this time.
I was glad that I could create a good relationship with Flora-chan and the prince, but the problem was that I didn’t know what the doom flag would be!
Maybe things will be okay now? Well, possibly not.
Well, I don’t know.
I thought it would never happen, but there was a monster that appeared!
I could not say that it was impossible for the event of condemnation to be triggered all of a sudden.
I’m scared!
So, despite all the goofy doom flag measures, I would not get any closer to the prince!
Prince, would you please stop communicating with me! I wanted you to get along with Flora-chan!
I guess I should cheer for them in my heart and make a plan to increase the intimacy between the two.
I’m sorry, but I’m not very talented.
My friends from my past life agree that I didn’t have any talent in relationships or anything.
I had no idea where my talents went wrong, but they said something was wrong with me.
I was simply unattractive, but sometimes strange guys would flirt with me, and my friends would accuse me of going for that one without going for the others… I never went for the others, and I never went for them, you know?
