The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

‘That’s right, it’s the day for secret friend draw!’

A few days ago, I had suggested this directly to Mrs. Edmond, our homeroom teacher.

‘…I think it would be nice if we play games like this, we will also get to know each other!’

She replied, ‘Oh, that’s a good idea!’

Even in my previous life, at the beginning of the semester, we played the secret friend game occasionally to get to know each other better. There was a reason why I suggested this.

‘Well, even if everyone is close to me… it seems that the relationship between them is a little bit awkward.’

Hahaha.

‘Good things are good, if possible, wouldn’t it be better if everyone played together?’

Finally, the time had come for the secret friend draw. At first, everyone was still unfamiliar with the game even after Mrs. Edmond’s explanation.

“What is a secret friend, Brother?”

“I don’t know. This is the first I’ve ever heard of it.”

After a while, the children who finally understood were amazed and eager to play as soon as possible.

“…that’s what a secret friend is. I want to be Lady Emir’s secret friend.”

“Then no one will know who their secret friend is until it is revealed later? This will be fun.”

It has been a while since the game started. The faces of the children, who secretly checked the paper on which their secret friend was written, were divided between joy and happiness.

“Hoo, I really didn’t expect that.” Ninaina, who first pulled out the note, frowned and muttered. The teacher, flustered by her exclamation, said, “Your Highness, you mustn’t speak about the secret friend. It has to be kept secret.”

“I know. It’s because it’s literally an unexpected opponent.”

Ninaina shrugged her shoulders, and my eyes turned to Alice soon after.

“……It’s hard.”

Is it hard? Alice made a sobbing face and uttered a vague word. It seems that she got someone who was difficult to get close to and she was not familiar with.

‘Cheer up, Alice.’

And when our eyes met, Jake smiled brightly at me. Is it me?

“That’s too bad.”

But seeing that he said it was too bad, it seems that it’s not me. Sheesh. Then let me see. Who did Cedric get? I turned my gaze back to Cedric and saw him grin and talk to himself.

“What is this, it’s easy. It’s a face I see almost every day.”

Cedric! No spoilers!

I was going to scream this, but come to think of it, if it’s ‘almost every day’, doesn’t it apply to all kindergarten students here anyway?

‘Cedric, maybe at least put on a poker face…’

And finally, Nicholas. Where is he?

‘Ah, there it is. But… huh?’

Having found Nicholas, I tried to read his expression. But why? As soon as Nicholas saw me, he immediately turned his head away, his face expressionless.

‘What-what? Are you mad at me…?’

But there was nothing to be angry about. What did I do wrong? It might be just an illusion, huh? I didn’t worry too much and just moved on. And really, really, finally… Who is my secret friend? I wasn’t able to open my own note after seeing what the other kids had picked. And with a pounding heart, I slowly opened the note, and immediately opened my eyes.

‘It’s Prince Nicholas.’

He’s a very difficult person. I’m already at a loss as to what to do as the secret friend. Do I have to buy a book in a very, very difficult language?

‘Something like books that were found in ancient tombs.’

Somehow, I thought that Nicholas would really like it if I gave it as a gift, rather than a joke.

‘The prince also has a very unique taste.’

I don’t think I need to think deeply about it right now. The secret friend period was for a week, so in the meantime, I should come up with a plan to prepare a surprise gift for the prince. Since this event was suggested by me, I made a commitment to participate as a planner with all my heart and soul (?).

‘Ah, let’s start by writing a letter.’

The basics for a secret friend. Just a handwritten letter, right? That day, when I returned home, I picked out the best quality paper I had. To write the letter with sincerity, I sat at my desk and picked up a fountain pen.

‘Because it wouldn’t be fun if he knew the handwriting in advance, I decided to write with my left hand.’

For reference, I am right-handed. Isn’t this the beauty of the secret friend game again? Hehehe.

[Hello, Prince.

I am the prince’s secret friendu.

Actually, I’ve always wanted to be close with the prince.

But it isn’t easy at all.

The prince hates playing and likes to read books.

And I don’t like books very much.

But starting today, I will try to read even the most difficult books with courage.

To make friends with the prince.

However, I still hate math books.

I can’t do math.

I don’t know if the prince will be friends with this ugly me, but please.

Be my friend. For sure.]

“This is enough without revealing too much information.”

Having written something closer to a note than a letter, I put down the pen with satisfaction. The next day, I arrived at the kindergarten early and put a note inside Nicholas’s drawer. And just before class started, I saw Nicholas put his hand in the drawer and find my letter.

“…my friend.” Nicholas mumbled.
