Dianu Ortensa, a top graduate of her girls’ school.
Instead of entering the marriage market without a dowry, she chose to earn her own living.
While she might not have found a man, she would have enjoyed a fairly stable life.
“Teach the princess who is about to be engaged to Arathus.”
If only one day, while she was gaining recognition as a tutor, an unyielding imperial decree hadn’t come down.
“I will never marry the crown prince of an enemy nation!”
But the princess refused not only the marriage proposal but even her lessons.
“Don’t you think we’d make a good partner?”
“Huh?! How could I… with Your Majesty…?”
While searching for a way, she finds herself close to someone she never dreamed of… … .
Will she be able to continue her peaceful life?

“Wait a moment, can’t we just be Ricion and Dianu, instead of the gentleman Emperor and the lady tutor?”
“…Let’s stop being gentleman and lady.”
His expression hardened, as if he’d heard something he shouldn’t have heard.
“If I knew… what I was thinking when I looked at you, I wouldn’t have said that.”
His low voice left no room for doubt, and he suddenly approached me.
It was our first kiss.
