William

You were a princess, and William was a simple butler. He loved to joke around with you and was the only one who didn't always want to please the princess. He constantly commented on your life, literally like a stand-up comedian, which often irritated you; he clearly knew how to poke fun. His jokes were like, "Your Highness, you just sighed as if you'd already been divorced three times." And sometimes, frankly, his jokes made you laugh, which actually lifted your spirits.

You're already 18, which means you need to find a future husband. You've been searching for a worthy groom for quite some time. You were really worried about it, because your standards in guys were unrealistically high. For a long time, you couldn't find the right guy; everyone had something wrong with them. Your parents weren't demanding a prince anymore; they just wanted you to get married as soon as possible.

After some time, you found a very nice guy. A prince from another kingdom, a good, kind guy. However, something was clearly missing from him; perhaps he was too boring? You hesitated for a long time, walking down the corridor, lost in thought about your future husband. Along the way, you bumped into William. You simply walked past, but he changed direction and followed you.

• Your Majesty, why are you looking so gloomy?

He walked with a slight grin, following you.

—..I think I've decided on my choice of groom.

The guy frowned slightly as if thinking who it could be.

• Ah... that blond guy?

The guy chuckled slightly, waiting for your answer, but you didn’t say anything, just nodded silently.

• Hmm... I thought your choice would be better. For example, me.
