Through countless trials and tribulations, Su Zhen remains unmatched. Ayaka Kamisato has grown from her innocent childhood self into the graceful Princess Shirasagi. Her youthful, naive feelings are now only revealed to her family.

"Brother, you are back."

Ayaka Kamisato was sitting at the table in the room when she saw Ayato Kamisato return and greeted him happily. Thomas, standing nearby, brought out a new plate of food and greeted Ayato as well.

"My lord."

Looking at the two people waiting for him at home, Ayato Kamisato felt a sense of contentment. A warm feeling filled his chest, making him feel that this was the best life he could have.

Ayato Kamisato sat down at the table, and Ayaka watched her brother interact with Toma, a smile appearing on her face. The joy in her eyes reminded her of the mischievousness she displayed as a child in front of her parents.

"My brother and Thomas are like a married couple."

Thomas was initially alarmed upon hearing Ayaka's words, then looked at Ayato Kamisato. He saw Ayato's gentle, slightly indulgent voice say, "You can't talk nonsense."

Thomas calmed down, chuckled softly, and said nothing more. He had no idea that when Ayato Kamisato heard his sister's words, the barrier in his heart that had been weakening instantly collapsed.

After dinner, Ayato Kamisato sat down at the table. He recalled Ayaka's words again, "My brother and Thomas are like a married couple."

He suddenly understood why he had felt so happy to meet Thomas when he was young. He also understood why he had felt uncomfortable when Thomas stayed by his side during the family's time of crisis, even though Thomas's words were merely expressions of loyalty.

Ayato suddenly realized that he liked the person beside him. This person had been by his side and helping him since he was young. Thomas was the person he trusted most, so it was only natural that he liked Thomas.

When Ayato Kamisato finally understood, his memories from his childhood came flooding back. These memories, clearly filled with sweat and bitterness, were imbued with warmth and sweetness because of Thomas's presence.

Ayato Kamisato closed his eyes slightly, thinking about all the little moments Thomas had shared with him. A surge of love welled up within him, like a rising tide, suddenly increasing to the point that he almost drowned.

"Master, you haven't finished your work yet. You'd better not daydream. Otherwise, if you stay up too late tonight, you'll have a headache tomorrow morning."

Thomas's voice reached Ayato's ears, startling him from his dreamlike state. Looking at Thomas before him, Ayato momentarily wanted to hug him.

But when Ayato Kamisato opened his eyes and saw Thomas's concerned blue eyes, he hesitated. What if Thomas didn't like him? Thomas's behavior towards him had always seemed to be nothing more than loyalty. If he suddenly hugged him, would Thomas hate it?

Ayato Kamisato, who was adept at strategizing against his political enemies, felt timid when facing the person he liked. This was the first time in his life he had felt timid, something he had never experienced even when surrounded by wolves.

"Master, what's wrong? Are you tired?"

Thomas's voice held a hint of worry; he didn't know why Ayato had been staring at him in a daze for so long. Ayato snapped out of his reverie, his mind racing with a thousand thoughts, but he quickly composed himself. He simply gave Thomas a deep look before continuing with his work.

"It's nothing, the table is just a bit messy, and I don't know how to tidy it up."

Thomas looked up and saw that the desk was indeed a bit messy. He went over to tidy it up, putting the open books together and sorting the official documents that needed to be processed in another place. Various sticky notes were also put away in cardboard boxes.

Thomas tidied up quickly, even stopping Ayato Kamisato's mischief along the way. In return, he received a wronged look from the head of the family. Thomas's heart fluttered, but he decided to let the cunning head of the family sit obediently to the side.

Ayato Kamisato ultimately restrained himself. He thought there was still plenty of time, and he would slowly express his love to Thomas. At least he wouldn't let his feelings cause Thomas to run away. Ayato's biggest fear was that Thomas would accept him out of loyalty, which was definitely not the outcome he wanted.

Days passed, and Ayato Kamisato still couldn't find a suitable opportunity to confess his feelings. Meanwhile, Thomas, busy with his own affairs, rarely spent time with Ayato.

As the days of separation gradually increased, Ayato Kamisato, who was experiencing love for the first time, truly missed Thomas. He asked the final member to observe Thomas's daily life and also drew several pictures of Thomas.

Ayato Kamisato felt a chill run down his spine as he read through the news from the final episode. He saw that Thomas had been spending a lot of time with a beautiful woman recently, and the portrait even depicted the two walking side by side through Inazuma Castle. The sight of them laughing and talking pierced Ayato Kamisato's heart, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Thomas was shocked when he received the message to go home, even thinking that something terrible had happened at home. On the way back, Thomas was very worried, fearing that the Kamisato siblings might have been hurt.

When Thomas returned to the Kamisato residence, he saw that Ayato Kamisato didn't look too good. Thomas closed the door and approached Ayato Kamisato.

"Master, what happened? Is something wrong with Miss?"

Ayato Kamisato stared intently at Thomas. Thomas had never seen him so serious, which made him very uneasy. Ayato Kamisato tried hard to control his anxiety, but in front of Thomas, he couldn't quite suppress it.

"Thoma, do you have someone you like?" Ayato Kamisato's voice reached Thomas's ears softly, yet it struck his heart like a thunderclap.

Thomas felt a sudden panic. Had he failed to conceal his feelings for the family head? What was going on?

Seeing Thomas's reaction, the astute Ayato immediately understood that Thomas truly had someone he liked. Ayato, enraged, laughed coldly, his voice filled with fury as he spoke each word with utmost clarity: "Thoma, I thought you would stay by my side forever."

Thomas couldn't hide his panic. Looking at Ayato's face, he knew Ayato was extremely angry. Thomas opened his mouth to say something, "I'm sorry, Master, I..."

Ayato Kamisato stepped forward, pulled Toma into his arms, and held him down to prevent him from struggling.

“I will not allow you to be with her. Do not be with her, Thomas.”

Ayato Kamisato's voice was filled with deep sorrow; Thomas had never seen her like this before. Even in the most difficult times, Ayato had never been like this. Thomas suddenly realized that Ayato wasn't telling the truth.

Unable to break free, Thomas placed his hand on Thomas's back, stroking him gently as he had when they were young.

"You should at least tell me clearly who I want to be with."
