『Laura keeps taking everything from me—I'm giving all my possessions to Laura now. There is no place for me here. Please don't look for me.』

One day, my sister-in-law Christina vanished, leaving behind a letter with those words.

My sister-in-law, who possessed powerful magic and became a Saint, was engaged to Crown Prince Legato and, by virtue of her position, served as the student council vice-president at the academy.

At first glance, my sister-in-law seemed pure, capable, and serious. Anyone unaware of the truth, upon reading the letter, would take it literally and assume that I, Laura—a former commoner who appears lighthearted, bubbly, and air-headed—had taken everything.

However, the reality is different. 'Seriousness' doesn't always benefit people, and in my sister-in-law's case, a different word would describe her more accurately than 'serious'.

Therefore.

If the Saint who strengthened the nation's defenses disappeared, if the next Crown Princess disappeared, if the student council vice-president disappeared, it should have caused an uproar—but it didn't.

They couldn't possibly have been unprepared, knowing my sister-in-law's true nature.

This country wouldn't falter even without my sister.

—This wasn't supposed to happen? Oh no. This is simply the inevitable outcome, dear sister-in-law.

As for Crown Prince Legato's fiancée, there's nothing I can do to help with that.

So I had planned to return to being a commoner once my role was finished, but it seems Crown Prince Legato was even more thoroughly prepared than I was—

Me, the Crown Prince's fiancée?

No, no, that's certainly too heavy a burden for a former commoner.

However, given my sister-in-law's blunder, I couldn't refuse, and Crown Prince Legato—who, despite being a Crown Prince, is overly muscular—began to shower me with rough but gentle affection.

Furthermore, ever since I put on my mother's keepsake ring, I've started having remarkably realistic dreams, and the Prince I meet there dotes on me with an almost beastly devotion.

What's with this 'rough' business?

It's so sweet I don't think I can handle it.
