―― The daughter of the preeminent ducal house, Lidiana von Vivoir.

That was the name I had been called for eighteen years since being born in this world.

A world full of magic, magical arts, and secret arts. A noble society with the King on top.
Among many nobles, I was born as the only daughter of the house with the highest social standing, Vivoir ducal house. That much was good, but the problem was that I had a secret that was difficult to tell others.
For some reason, I recalled memories of my previous life when I was a child.
Moreover, the memories weren't of this world of magic, but of Japan where science developed; it was a completely different world.
Having recalled and grew up with these memories, I think it's natural I'd be tied down by a different system of values.
That is, I absolutely can't tolerate polygyny.
In my previous world one husband having one wife was natural, and having multiple wives wasn't allowed.
This world I was reborn in, no, this country - Wilhelm Kingdom, fundamentally practices monogamy that fits my values, but it doesn't apply to the royalty at the top.
For the sake of having heirs, they're allowed to take concubines (moreover, any number of them!).

―― Impossible.

My brain naturally rejected it.
I didn't want to marry royalty. You can't blame me for thinking that.
That said, whether I wanted it or not, normally one could go the whole life without having any relation to royalty.
However, regrettably my house was far from normal.
The preeminent ducal house. The top ranking nobility. It's easy to imagine where its daughter would be married off.
In a sense it was natural that I became the top fiancée candidate of this country's one and only Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince, Friedrich van de la Wilhelm.
The blond-haired blue-eyed prince is called 'flawless' and is three years older than me.
I didn't want to marry that prince, or perhaps I should say any royalty no matter what, and while continuing to refuse the arranged marriage meetings using any means possible, I reached eighteen years of age.
By doing my best, I thought I would get engaged  to someone else, and yet that didn't happen at all, and I continued being Prince Friedrich's fiancée candidate.
As I was thinking that things were going in a bad direction, one day Father dropped a bomb.

'Rejoice, His Highness Friedrich is your fiancé.'

I was expecting it, but I received a shock. I understood I couldn't take it slow anymore.
And so, not wanting to marry him no matter what, I came up with a certain measure.
That is, sleeping with somebody other than the prince and throwing away my virginity.

You can only marry into the Royal Family as a virgin.

I recalled Wilhelm Royal Family had such a rule.

―― Alright, I'll have sex and bid goodbye to being the prince's fiancée.

I have memories of my previous life, that was rather lax about sexual matters despite monogamy, so it couldn't have been helped that I thought that.
However, the partner was a problem.
It would be too awkward to ask somebody I knew.
And if possible, I wanted my virginity taken away by somebody who didn't know I was 'the only daughter of Vivoir house'. Of course, I didn't want to know the partner's identity either.
All I needed was to no longer be a virgin.
Thinking so, I decided to attend a masquerade ball. At masquerade balls you don't know each other's identities… The etiquette say not to investigate them.
Moreover, for my convenience, I obtained information that a mysterious young man appeared at every masquerade ball. I heard from a friend that he wasn't not picky and moreover that he was good at sex, so all ready for him to take my virginity, I attended the masquerade ball in high spirits, but――.

I'll omit the details, but while I was gloating over things going well, the young man who took my virginity thrust at me the fact that he was my fiancé, Prince Friedrich, and that during my first time I was engraved with the proof of his princess consort, the 'Royal Flower'.
Moreover, Prince Friedrich - no, Freed was strangely obsessed with it.
The blue rose Royal Flower was just like a tattoo. It emerged on the left side of my chest like a seal.
The 'Royal Flower' cannot be erased. As long as I had the Royal Flower engraved, I could only marry Freed. As I was trying to escape in confusion, Freed declared that he won't take any concubines and that he only loves me.
I had a problem with sharing my husband with other women.
Since he wouldn't do that and I couldn't escape, I got defeatedly engaged.
I learned of his disposition, various things happened… And well, even I think I'm easy, but in the end, I realized that I love him.
And the other day we finally had our wedding, and despite not wanting to become the Crown Princess in the past, I splendidly became Freed's consort.

After meeting various people and experiencing many things, I became the Crown Princess.
I will do my best. As Freed's consort, I will become a woman he can be proud of!
I decided so, and after two weeks of honeymoon with just the two of us, returned to the castle in high spirits about work as the Crown Princess, but――.

"Good morning, Princess Consort."

I heard Head Court Lady's voice. I groaned and raised my heavy eyelids.

"… Good morning, Clara. I really don't want to hear it… but what time is it now?"
"You could say it's just before noon."
"… Uuu. I slept late again."

After somehow raising myself on the bed, I dejectedly hung my shoulders.
Seeing me like this, Clara giggled and opened the curtains. I reflexively squinted my eyes at the dazzling sunlight.

"Somehow… I have a feeling like I'm waking up later and later."

When I looked next to me on the huge bed, of course there wasn't anyone there.
My husband, Freed, went to work a few hours ago.
He left saying, "Don't worry and sleep."
Since we got married, Freed has completely gotten carried away with joy and embraces me until morning every night. No, I feel it was similar before we married, but… Anyway, because of that I end up sleeping like a log until noon every day.
Thanks to the 'Royal Flower', a magical seal that's the proof of his princess consort, the burden from nights with him is reduced, but it doesn't help with the lack of sleep.

"Aah… I wanted to be more diligent."

In my plans I was supposed to wake up early in the morning and do my work as the Crown Princess.
However, things turned as I perhaps should've expected. Being embraced every day until morning, I can't do anything in the mornings.

"Uuuuu…"

While I was groaning in vexation, Clara turned to me and said.

"Princess Consort, you are doing your job properly, so you need not worry."
"… Yeah."

That job must be being embraced by Freed and striving for a child.
Hickeys can be seen all over my body.
When we got engaged, Clara looked embarrassed every time she saw them, but after we got married Clara nods with satisfaction. She's probably happy to see that I'm being embraced by Freed.
I didn't know about it until I got married, but the partners – consorts of Wilhelm royalty seem to be exempt from work in the morning.
When I first heard it, I was surprised and astonished. And then I guessed the reason that I didn't want to guess.
It's that. Men of Wilhelm royalty have excessive libido and crush their wives in their embrace until morning, so out of consideration the wives are assigned time off to sleep during mornings.
I think it's necessary and I'm grateful that I can rest without shame, but I can only smile stiffly feeling like I caught a glimpse of the hardships of there generations of women married to royalty.

"Here you are."

Clara handed me a glass of water. Being dehydrated after sleeping, I received it and gulped it down in one go.

"First please take a bath. Princess Consort, if that's alright with you, I shall help you."

Clara received the empty glass and asked so. I shook my head and replied.

"I don't need it. I'll finish right away, so wait for me."
"Yes. I will prepare clothing."
"I intend to spend today inside the room, so don't make it too flashy."
"Certainly."

Listening to Clara's reply, I stood up from the bed. The ankle-length night clothes swayed smoothly. After Freed went to work today, I had spare energy to put on clothes, so I fell asleep after dressing in the night clothes. When I don't have spare energy… I don't really want to do it, but I go to sleep naked.
I left the bed and opened a door nearby.
Behind it was the bathroom.
The bathroom large enough for two people was my wish.
While the room was being prepared I was asked for my wishes, so I took advantage of the situation and made various requests. This room has a small kitchen, a bathroom and is more spacious and easier to live in than Freed's room I used before. It might be natural as the two rooms prepared for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were made into one.

"Why must I live apart from Lidi? We'll stay together anyway, so I feel like two rooms are a waste."

When talking about the room Freed asserted so. "You're right," I strangely agreed with him, so in the end a room for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess was prepared. I don't want a private space, so it's not an inconvenience, and in fact, when Freed isn't at work, he's mostly always by my side.
Then it's better if the rooms were made into one from the start, so that the room was vast. It's good in various ways.

"Princess Consort. Here."

When I washed off sweat and came out of the bathroom, Clara helped me get changed into prudently prepared clothes.
In addition to Clara, there were five court ladies who listen to orders given by Clara as the Head Court Lady.
They are the court ladies recommended by Clara to be attached to the Crown Princess. Having said that, fundamentally it's Clara who takes care of me, and they're like her assistants.
As the Head Court Lady, Clara was originally attached to Mother-in-law and Freed, but currently she's almost exclusively attached to me. There is also the reason of her being ordered so by Mother-in-law and Freed, but Clara and my mother are friends. I think it's largely why she proactively accepted looking after me. Clara is a very flexible and excellent person, so I'm very grateful to her.
I prepared and had a little, no, quite late breakfast. After Clara and the court ladies bowed their heads and left, I cheerfully returned to the bedroom and took out a dress simpler than the one I was wearing.
I quickly changed and got ready.
After finishing preparations, I called a name.

"Cain."
"Yeah, good morning, Princess."
"Good morning."

A man soundlessly jumped down from the ceiling.
The man with black curly hair and red eyes is… not a ninja, but an excellent guard, who was originally an assassin and now reveres me as his master.
I'll omit the explanation of how I met him, the famous assassin called 'Red Shinigami' in Sahaja, but anyway, he's excellent. The only person I revealed Cain's existence to, Freed, trusts him as well.
With him as an escort I'm allowed to act quite freely.
I became the Crown Princess. I was resigned to having my actions restricted by that, so I'm very happy.

"Are you going out?"
"Yup. I have to do it today."

I nodded to Cain's words.
He must be worried about me who only just became the Crown Princess. I have work, but it's all trivial, and I have two days off a week. Today is one of those days.
My husband Freed works like in a sweatshop, so I wondered if it's alright for me to have it so easy as his wife… but when I told him that, he returned with a serious face that my most important job is different, so he wants me to conserve stamina.
My most important job… Naturally, that's conceiving an heir.
Wilhelm royalty is known for not being able to have children easily, so I'm not blamed for it taking time, but it makes the encouragement to make more effort painful.
How the heck should I make more effort than now?
I seriously feel like asking that, but I have a hunch that it would be the end for me if I did, so I decided to keep silent.
If I was told to wait for Freed naked, I would have to answer, "I did when I was his fiancée." It would be too embarrassing if that fact was known, so I will keep it buried.
