I–I mean, it’s a world with magical creatures and magic! There’s gotta be some kind of alt-tribes like fairies somewhere. But seeing a grownup believing in fairies without a doubt really raises a red flag.

“Oh come on! If you behave well enough, they might come out just for you!”

After being shaken rather hard in his hands, Hary Ernst finally exploded with a shout. Cavelle suddenly jolted to a halt immediately after.

“Good enough?”

“Yeah. Study hard and don’t get into trouble! Think about it. Would the fairy like kind people or chaotic, unorganized people like you?”

But hold on a second. Why do I keep thinking I’ve seen that untiringly distracting behavior of Cavelle somewhere? That bright, carefree personality really hits home.

“You know what? You’re right.”

“About what?”

Then Cavelle let go of his sister’s shoulder and muttered in a half-serious tone. Hary frowned in wonder, but he eventually declared his solemn decision.

“I’M GONNA CHANGE FOR THE FAIRY!”

…For the fairy!

…the fairy!

…fairy!

His thunderous voice bounced off the walls of the lecture hall and echoed numerous times.

At that moment, a flash of enlightenment whizzed above my head. I opened my mouth in utter shock.

Holy crap! Now I remember. How could I have forgotten it the whole time?

He’s one of the supporting roles that begged for Jennette’s love in Lovable Princess!

***

Cavelle can be described as an unfortunate male supporting actor.

No, not just him, but all the male characters in Lovable Princess were one of them.

Well, to be exact, “all the male characters except Ezekiel.”

It’s because being the lovely princess Jennette is, she gets all the love from men from everywhere outside the country. But the lucky guy was Ezekiel.

On top of that, other male characters couldn’t really get their fair share of the story in the novel because of Ezekiel’s unrivaled attractiveness.

Hey, at least some of the fanbase liked ‘em.

Anyway, Cavelle’s just another unfortunate supporting male role who feverishly wanted Jennette’s love.

If I recall correctly, the two first met in Obelia.

Was she 17 at the time? 18? Crap. I can’t remember that well but it’s gotta be a few years back from now.

Because Cavelle in the book is not a student but a formidable knight of the Arlantan Royal family. That’s how he escorted the Arlantan envoy when they visited Obelia.

To recall my faintest of memories, I think that was to somehow meet Ezekiel, his friend when he was in school.

Anyway, Cavelle falls in love with Jennette at first sight like that when he visits the Obelian Royal Palace.

That event was, from his perspective, as significant as fate. However, Jennette begged to differ, leaving Cavelle in the supporting role list.

Speaking of all this makes him kinda pitiful. But what are you gonna do about it? Ezekiel was such an alpha male from the beginning!

Nevertheless, the unfortunate Cavelle attracted some popularity due to his persistent personality.

To be fair, what am I supposed to know about him having forgotten him until today? I just recalled some middle school girl who recommended the book telling me that.

(Sobs) I’m so sorry, Mr. Supporting Role! What am I to do with your tiny presence in the book…

Anyway, I completely forgot about it until now. It’s actually surprising to have all the memories come back one by one as Cavelle kept mentioning the fairy, declaring that he’s now going to change.

Now that I think about it, there was this one supporting males that kept following Jennette, calling her ‘fairy.’ Maybe it’s his gem-lovingness that made him want a fairy in the first place.

My gosh. How do you even have the balls to tell someone so embarrassing things? S-sure I call Diana a fairy but my mom’s an actual fairy!

Therefore there’s nothing wrong with me calling Diana a fairy! Right, right!

I thought of Hary who gave me a “hi” look as I left the room.

That had me feeling a bit moist on the inside.

That unnie really went through a lot. I remember Cavelle, on the other hand, as a bulldozer-like person. He plows through whatever gets in his way and frequently bothered others.

But sometimes I think it’s pretty obvious that Cavelle got dumped by Jennette. Him constantly talking about fairies kinda does look like it’s gonna piss her off…

(Shudder!)

Isn’t it chilling to just think about it? As much as I want to side with Cavelle, he did get attacked face-to-face with the Fairy. (Sob) There’s a reason all supporting roles are supporting roles.

“I wonder what Jenette’s up to these days.”

Maybe it was because I met Cavelle who’s destined to fall in love with Jennette.

I’ve recently gotten curious about how Jennette’s doing. Eh, yeah she’s gonna be alright but on the flip side, I keep thinking about why she’s never contacted me before I left the Royal Palace.

Wait. Could it be that Duke Alpehus just gave away Jennette to Claude, taking his only chance?

That guy’s a bit of a psycho so he could try to kill her but if that were to happen, the news would’ve spread already. So that’s out of the question.

And if it were him, he would probably work his ass off prepping for Jennette’s first appearance.

In the book, Jennette and Claude first met at the debutante. So while Claude is preoccupied trying to find me, it would make sense that Jennette is still in Duke Alpheus’ mansion.

[TL Notes: debutante – a ball where upper-class women “debut” into society, marking their maturity.]

Should I just have a quick peek?

‘Miss, now that I look at you, you’ve been cursed!’

‘You’ve been cursed by someone who wants to ruin your life!’

I went silent for a minute, thinking of what the Dark Magician Grandpa told me.

Snap!

And I’ve immediately carried out what I’ve been only thinking about sitting on the beautiful flowering tree in the region of Lasus where the flower festival was held.

* * *

“That’s weird…”

Moments later, I was squinting my eyes examining the people coming and going by the mansion.

The teleportation worked well this time, so I was able to land safely on top of Alpheus’s mansion. Then, I was looking around for the situation near me on top of a tree with my invisibility magic.

Heck, I don’t even know where her room is. Better do something.

But the mansion felt… rather strange. It had a grim feel to it. I’m pretty sure it’s not my emotions toying with me again…

(Click.)

Then, in the mysterious tranquility, the door to the mansion opened with a faint noise.

“Take care.”

Huh, it’s Roger Alpheus! And the person next to him is Mrs. Alpheus?

I’ve seen Roger many times before but it’s my first time seeing Mrs. Alphues. She looks like a strict, but elegant lady. Ezekiel doesn’t really look like his mom though. More like a Roger Alphues Jr.

“Ezekiel, are you ready?”

“Yes, father.”

As soon as Alpheus asked the question over the door, another person showed up. Oh, it’s Ezekiel.

My hands flinched a bit since it was the first time seeing Ezekiel after the event at the ballroom.

‘Princess Athanasia.’

A subtle voice in my head swept across my ears.

‘Excuse me for a minute.’

‘Yes, sir. I saw nothing.’

And I thought of Ezekiel comforting me by my side when I cried my lungs out the other day. I looked down for a second then fixed my line of sight at them again.

The two seemed to be going out somewhere.

“You and Ezekiel, is it okay for you guys to go alone?”

“Not a lot is known about our relationship with Rosaria, so I think we’re better off going by ourselves.”

Roger answered Mrs. Alphues’s question, shaking his head. But Rosaria? Are they going to Jennette’s aunt’s place?

I was extra cautious just in case Duke Alpheus was going to pull a sneaky, so I squinted my eyes and focused on their movements.

“But how about Jennette…?”

“I’m going too.”

A black figure appeared out of the open door. It was Jennette, dressed in all black.

For some reason, the Alpheus looked at Jennette with surprised faces.

But something’s off. Why are they dressed like that? They’re all in black. I assumed that Duke Alpheus and Ezekiel were just wearing a dark, formal suit but why is Jennette also in that black dress? And her hat’s got a black veil covering her face…

“Jennette, I’m pretty sure I said you couldn’t go.”

“But why not?”

With his surprised look now gone, Duke Alpheus started to scold Jennette with a rather stern tone. Guessing from the situation, he wasn’t too keen on taking Jennette to their destination, the house of Count Rosaria.

“She’s my aunt. If I’m not qualified, then who is?”

“Jennette, don’t you know that this isn’t a matter of qualification?”

“Then what’s the matter? I’m still going to go even if you don’t want me to.”

Uhh, what’s wrong here? I get that Jennette wants to go but Duke Alpheus doesn’t want her to… But what’s up with the heavy, dubious atmosphere?

“I cannot let you.”

“Sir!”

As Roger Alpheus recited coldly, Jennette almost screamed.

I was shocked to see her act so emotionally. It was her first time!

I couldn’t see her face clearly because of the veil, but judging by her voice, she was trying hard to fight back her tears.

She seemed to think Roger was being too harsh on her emotions. But at the same time, she looked like she was in deep anger and sorrow.

“I–I need to go. I need to go…”
