“Your Highness, this is your standard class schedule. Please take a look.”
Roman accepted the small notebook from Rosetta with curiosity and opened it to study it seriously.
He had to admit, the information recorded in this little booklet was extremely thorough—not only did it list the upcoming courses he had to take, but it also included brief descriptions of each class.
At the end of the booklet was a clear map of the Saint Key Knight Order, marking the main buildings and activity areas for Roman.
Rosetta quietly moved behind Roman, gently stroking his soft silver hair, comb in hand as she tidied his hair.
At the same time, she reached forward to part the bangs on Roman’s forehead, revealing his smooth brow as she fixed his hairstyle with a hairpin.
So beautiful…
Looking at the boy in the full-length mirror, after she arranged his hair, he even exuded a hint of noble elegance like a young lady.
Satisfied, Rosetta nodded, immersed in the moment.
While she was enjoying herself, Roman suddenly asked curiously, “Is this booklet given to everyone?”
“Yes,” Rosetta replied naturally.
Roman couldn’t help shaking his head in doubt.
“Don’t you think the information on this final map is a bit too detailed?”
“Is it?”
Rosetta accepted the booklet from Roman, puzzled.
“What if it falls into the hands of someone with ill intent?”
Even someone as composed and cool as Rosetta couldn’t suppress a helpless smile at Roman’s words.
“Your Highness, you’re overthinking it…”
In the end, she could only say this with a smile.
Realizing he was being underestimated, Roman puffed out his cheeks in displeasure, his adorable face round like a marshmallow.
Standing behind him, Rosetta was tempted to reach out and poke Roman’s cheeks.
After thinking for a moment, Rosetta seriously explained to Roman.
“Do you think the information here is really valuable?”
“Isn’t it?”
Roman retorted.
In his view, when making a plan concerning a matter, place, or person, the most crucial element was gathering information.
With enough information, the chance of success in any plan increased.
Clearly, Roman felt that the booklet disclosed a bit too much.
Even Rosetta’s office was clearly marked, as were the student residences.
“Are you suggesting someone would plot against the Saint Key Knight Order with malicious intent?”
“Hmm… Even a madman probably wouldn’t dare think of such a thing.”
Rosetta then spoke with pride.
“The reason the Saint Key Knight Order is so strong is because of every person here. That’s why everyone’s privacy and secrets are well protected.”
Hearing Rosetta’s explanation, Roman gradually understood.
While combing Roman’s long hair under the pretense of grooming, Rosetta savored the subtle delight of the moment.
Finally, she draped the single-shouldered Knight’s Cloak—symbolizing a Knight’s identity and honor—over Roman, reluctantly letting him go.
The pristine cloak hung along Roman’s arm, displaying the exclusive emblem of the Saint Key Knight Order.
“Congratulations. You are now officially a Knight.”
“And also the first male Knight in the history of the Saint Key Knight Order~”
Looking at his imposing and ethereal reflection in the mirror, Roman couldn’t help but blush as his eyes brightened.
Little did he know, in Rosetta’s eyes, even though Roman wore the Knights’ Uniform, he didn’t look the least bit heroic.
He looked more like a Highness who had swapped out a Princess Dress for a Knights’ Uniform to play around—in other words, more like a cosplay.
The boy in the mirror was beautiful and graceful, with a slender figure and dignified bearing.
Rather than inspiring awe, the uniform made one want to conquer and ravage him even more.
To tear off Roman’s Knights’ Uniform, toss away his belt, strip off his pants, and then ruthlessly—
Cough, cough.
Leading Roman out of the room, Rosetta looked toward the distant Clock Tower and spoke softly to him.
“You should hurry. Class is about to start.”
“The teachers here are all friendly, so just enjoy your lessons~”
She added to reassure Roman.
“Mm…”
He placed his hands in front of him, extended his right hand to wave farewell to Rosetta.
“Then… I’m going?”
Rosetta’s face—usually as cold as falling snow—suddenly warmed, blooming into a gentle smile like spring.
Stunned, Roman’s beautiful face also blossomed with a gentle smile, and then, without further hesitation, he turned and walked away following the map’s markings.
Standing still, Rosetta couldn’t bring herself to leave.
She watched Roman’s departing figure, his silver hair fluttering lightly in the air like drifting silver light.
The swaying arms, the shifting legs, the slender waist swaying back and forth—it was a feast for the eyes no matter how she looked.
It wasn’t until the sound of Roman’s footsteps faded from the corridor that Rosetta snapped out of it, pulling back her slightly dazed gaze.
Just as she was about to leave for her own work, Rosetta idly wondered what Roman’s first class was.
If she remembered right, it should be Etiquette Class…
Hm?
Her footsteps halted, and the casual expression vanished.
She frowned slightly in hesitation, and thinking of that eccentric Professor, Rosetta ultimately couldn’t rest easy and decided to go audit the class.
With resolute, echoing steps, Rosetta walked in the direction Roman had gone.

“Lijie! How much longer until class?!”
“I don’t know.”
In a scene completely different from before, Linda seemed unusually ‘enthusiastic’ about Etiquette Class, while Lijie looked indifferent.
“Are we going to be late…?”
Linda fretted passionately.
“Who knows?”
Even as Linda pulled her arm and half-ran, Lijie maintained a lady’s elegance and a noble’s dignity, showing no signs of being dragged off course by the brute beside her.
As the two spoke, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from the side.
“Um…”
“Huh?”
Both paused.
That voice sounded so familiar?
“Excuse me, are you two heading to Etiquette Class as well?”
Wearing the same Knights’ Uniform as the two, Roman waved and asked.
“…”
Seeing Roman approaching, a clear blush spread across Linda’s not-so-fair cheeks.
She glanced at Roman, her gaze evasive, and the usually chatty girl found herself at a loss for words.
Lijie, however, remained as composed as ever, waving politely and placing a hand on her chest in greeting.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
After speaking, she immediately asked, “Would you like to go with us?”
Linda looked at Lijie’s calm and natural attitude, feeling deep admiration.
“Sure~”
Roman replied happily with a smile.
Linda watched as Roman naturally came to her side, her face growing even redder though her expression stayed composed, her heart thumping wildly.
