“—Rivea!”
After the door opened, the first person to come out called my name.
“Leon-sama.”
I could tell that his big chest was throbbing, how unlike the usual him.
This person, since who-knows-when, has called my name with a different voice.
And with different eyes, gazing at me.
A tenor that resounded sweetly in one’s ears. His sparkling golden pupils.
Leon-sama under the afternoon light, coupled with his loosely waved reddish golden hair, was dazzlingly beautiful.
Without realizing it, I blankly looked at Leon-sama in fascination. At that time…
“…How beautiful, Rivea. It’s a unisex beauty.”
Leon-sama eloquently said in a good spirit.
You’re the one who’s beautiful. Besides, aren’t you saying too much despite it can be said in only a few words?
“The maids selected it.”
Next to me, Orgueil cut into the conversation.
“When we were walking here, there were quite some strong gazes towards Riviere-sama. …Especially the women’s gazes.”
“Although half of them might have been looking at you, with Rivea’s appearance this time, there would be quite a considerable number of people who developed a crush on her.”
“At any rate, it seems the maids have been charmed by her.”
“—If you’re looking for someone being charmed by her, then you have them here, as well.”
A tall man appeared from behind Leon-sama as he tapped on his shoulder. …Then, one more person.
“Julias, you!”
Leon-sama turned around. …The person behind him was Yulias. I wonder what about the other person?
“I won’t deny it, nor will I say any superfluous thing. Since you wanted to meet her no matter what, I arranged it for you.”
“I’m terribly grateful for your consideration, Duke Evangelista.”
The person called Yulias bowed in a jest. Then, he turned his whole body towards me.”
“—I’m Yulias Rumsfeld du Gladius. Pleased to make your acquaintance, ‘Princess’.”
He possesses a pair of awfully sharp green eyes. He has a short silky hair with his bangs slightly covering his forehead.
A blackish brown hair.
…I didn’t want to look at him directly, so I silently bent myself slightly deeper.
“Riviere, let me introduce you.”
Although it was just a very subtle gesture, I was sure that perhaps Leon-sama noticed it.
He elegantly pulled my hand, while circling his other hand to my waist.
“They are my male cousins from this household. This frolic man is Yulias. Going by his nickname, he’s Duke Rumsfeld. The other one is Sigurd. Sigurd Odile do Gladius. Count me in and this is the full lineup of the Three Dukes.”
“—I’m Sigurd Odile. Pleased to meet you, Princess.”
The third duke was approaching me with a smooth movement that didn’t suit his large physique, taking my hand which wasn’t in Leon-sama’s grasp, and gave a salute that one would normally give to a lady.
I have an impression that he’s a quiet person.
His height is about the same as Orgueil, but his physique is very tough, so substantially, he looks larger. His burning scarlet hair is long, straightly flowing down until his back.
The eyes that were looking at me had the color of the sky in the broad daylight.
“Dukes, she is Riviere Emil la Tuura.”
With my waist still being held by Leon-sama, I tried to bow and cast my eyes down as much as I could to look docile.
I tried to put my feelings hundredfold more compared to the unpleasant chairman from earlier. One’s first impression is important.
In addition, my behavior is directly linked to people’s evaluation of Leon-sama. I think it’s right to pay an extra caution to at least the first meeting with people from now on. After all, I also have this kind of mindset towards the people who couldn’t mind one’s manners on the first meeting: Just what else can they do after this?
“I’ve received a lot of hospitality and pointers from Duke Evangelista. However, there are still some unsatisfactory points, so I’d like to ask for your guidance as well.”
“…I’m also requesting it from you, Yulias, Ruud.”
Leon-sama also bowed, albeit only lightly.
I could tell that the two people opened their eyes wide.
“…This is really no different from the rumors, or rather, this even exceeds the rumors.”
“I heard that the two of you were deeply in love, but…”
They unanimously whispered.
In love?? I wonder if it’s really ‘deep’?
When I was pondering about it,
“It’s definitely going to worth it to assault you on the bed while naked.”
“?! …Oi, what are you…?!”
“What did you say?!”
Leon-sama and I raised our voices at almost the same time in response to Rumsfeld’s nasty words.
I unintentionally wanted to jab him in response to the words that couldn’t be allowed to pass.
But half a moment faster than me, Leon-sama and Orgueil took one of my hands each, stopping my attack.
Today, I was dressed as a man. I was in my pants. As I was thinking whether I should seriously go and even use my legs, I felt like the cat had completely been out of the bag.

I will be happy if you can wait while guessing who will have what kind of fetishes.
Thank you very much for reading.
