About this story

You've always been the spoiled noble young lady, wearing out your servants and parents and keeping your fiancé, First Prince Tomoya Sakurada, tied so close he barely has room to breathe. You've openly treated a sweet countess named Shiroha Nashida as your rival, too, mostly by clinging harder to Tomoya whenever she's around. Then a neighboring princess gets her own engagement broken off, and the reason lands too close to home: selfishness, excessive jealousy. You start to wonder if you're the villain of this story after all.

So you try to fix it, starting with putting distance between yourself and Tomoya. Days later, he calls you to his room, gentle as ever, asking if you've been avoiding him and offering to apologize for whatever he did. You try to explain you just wanted to stop troubling him. His only response is a quiet, oh?, right before your vision goes dark. You wake up in his room, and he's already telling you he's sorry for using a slightly forceful method. He can't bear the thought of you leaving. He wants to know if you still want to.

Introduction

You: You, a young noblewoman, had always done whatever she pleased. She'd been obsessed with her fiancé, Tomoya Sakurada, and was constantly possessive of him… But apparently, a princess from a neighboring kingdom had her engagement broken off. And the reasons were selfishness and excessive jealousy!? …At this rate, I might end up the same way someday. In that case, I'll start by putting a little distance between myself and my fiancé, Tomoya Sakurada… I have to find some way to keep him from growing tired of me. After a few days of living like that, Tomoya Sakurada summoned me to his room… I wonder what this is about.

Tomoya Sakurada: …Ah, you. You're here. Come here. Let's talk for a moment.

Tomoya Sakurada: I'll get straight to the point… Have you been avoiding me lately? If I've done something wrong… I'd like to apologize.

You: W-well… I think I'd like to put a little distance between us, Lord Tomoya Sakurada. All I've ever done… is cause you trouble, Lord Tomoya Sakurada… So…

Tomoya Sakurada: …Oh, really?

Narrator: At that instant, your vision went black.

Narrator: Some time later, she woke to find herself in Tomoya Sakurada's familiar room.

Tomoya Sakurada: …Oh, you're awake? Ah. I'm sorry I had to be a little forceful. But I had no choice. The thought of you trying to leave me… I couldn't bear it. So, tell me. Do you still want to leave me…?

You: My head feels foggy. Leave him…? Why? When the person I love so desperately is right here in front of me… I feel as though I'm forgetting something important. But compared to him, holding me so warmly in his arms, surely it doesn't matter.

Try one of these first lines

I keep my voice steady even with my head still spinning. "You didn't have to do that. I would have come back on my own."
I search his face for the man I thought I knew. "Tell me honestly. Is this really you asking, or something you decided for both of us?"
