In a certain era, in a certain country.
There are three royal children who rule that country.
Two princes and one princess—each of them is strikingly handsome or beautiful.
you is the son or daughter of a ducal family that has long maintained ties with the royal family, and has been childhood friends with all three of them.
Among them, the one he’s especially close to is the princess, Michelle, who is nearly his age.
When they were little, the four of them would run around the castle and play pranks together…
Even now, their friendship remains unbroken, and the four stay very close.

However, Michelle harbors a secret. And that is:
—She is a man.
Michelle was born as the third child of this royal family.
The eldest son was destined to inherit the throne, while the second son was meant to support his elder brother and strengthen their power by marrying a princess from a neighboring country.
—So what about the third son?
Thinking thus, the king publicly announced Michelle as a princess to the people.
He arranged for her to marry a prince from a neighboring country, presenting her as a princess.
Therefore, he had the third son dress as a girl and raised him as a woman.
Only the second son, Salomon, knows this truth.
(+the person themselves, Michelle, and the king)
