Chapter 3

Noah had finished the day’s official duties and retreated from the throne room back to his study when he received a magical letter from Claudia. He now sat at his desk, elbows planted firmly on its surface, his forehead pressed against his folded hands. For how long he had been looking down at the letter in silence, even he didn’t know.

“Hey, lad...”

Faraz stood behind him with a look of sympathy. Yet, when he spoke there was an undertone of barely suppressed laughter.

“Chin up. The princess you’re all starry-eyed over just asked to spend the night with you. You’re living the dream.”

“I’ve told you already. This is not romantic love,” Noah muttered in a low voice, keeping his head down.

“And for the record,” he continued, trying to keep his voice calm, “this meeting is only a part of my duty to her. There’s nothing here for you to find amusing.”

“Duty or not, who cares? It’s a golden chance, lad. You’ll get to chat in private, away from prying eyes. That’s one hell of an opportunity.”

Noah refused to respond to that.

“Plus, the harem’s nightwear? Pretty risqué. Who knows? She might even dress the part to keep up appearances in front of the other girls.” Faraz grinned. “Lucky you, eh? And if...”

Faraz trailed off as Noah’s silence grew heavier, his shoulders slumping down inch-by-inch.

“Er... My bad.” Faraz scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

Noah’s headache was growing steadily thanks to Faraz’s ill thought-out encouragement. Noah let out a deep sigh, massaging his temples as he cast a weary glance at the letter.

To my dearest king. Please choose me as your companion tonight.

Noah could all too easily picture her writing those words. She’d have been humming cheerfully, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, thoroughly enjoying herself as she used her finger to write the characters in the air.

And now, thanks to Faraz’s earlier comments, unbidden images surfaced in Noah’s mind.

“It’s been three days since I’ve seen Noah. I’ll have to wear something adorable for him!”

Noah groaned quietly, dragging a hand through his dark hair. He collapsed against his desk and muttered, “Someone save me.”

“Y’know, I’m actually starting to feel a bit sorry for you, lad.”

But no matter how exasperated he felt, Noah couldn’t afford to let his emotions get the better of him.

This is my duty and that’s all. Her Highness is simply requesting a meeting to exchange information. Nothing more.

Straightening in his chair, he exhaled slowly and leaned back, resting against the luxurious upholstery of the seat.

“Please make the necessary arrangements to receive Princess Dia in the royal bedchamber tonight.”

“Oh? Not thinking of heading to the harem yourself? You’ve got permission from Ashbal to enter, you know.”

“The harem is a sanctuary for the women there,” Noah replied. “If I, a man—an impostor king, no less—were to set foot there, it would only undermine their sense of security.”

Faraz chuckled, shrugging as he turned to leave. “Got it, got it. Don’t worry, lad. I’ll have your bedchamber prepared—complete with a romantic ambiance. It’s my job as a loyal servant to the king.
