"My dream is...to make this world back into one and bring complete peace to this beautiful world," I said.

  "Make the world back into one?," Lily asked.

  "And bring complete peace to this beautiful world?," Leandra asked.

  Princess Irene, Leandra and Lily seemed surprised by the dream I said.

  "That's right, therefore, to make this world completely peaceful, I need an important position in this kingdom. After getting an important position in this kingdom, I will start by changing this Kingdom first. Then after that establish a peaceful relationship between this kingdom and other countries one by one until all the countries in the angel's territory establish a peaceful relationship with us. Then after that, try to do the same thing in the countries in the demon's territory," I explained.

  "Pfffttttt," a voice sounded like someone was holding back laughter

  "Hahahahahaha, uniting the world and bringing complete peace you say? I can't believe you can talk about jokes like that," said Lily who laughed.

  Leandra also laughed hearing my dream but she covered her mouth with her hand so that her laughter could not be heard.

  "You said to unite the world that is currently divided into two and ruled by Angels and Demons, if you intend to continue your dream and get rejected by both races, you will face creatures like them. Didn't you hear the story about the two races earlier? Do you think a human like you can face both races if your dream is hampered by rejection from both races? That's why I said you were talking about a joke. Very funny," said Lily who was still laughing.

  "Let alone uniting this world, establishing peaceful relations with other countries also seems impossible. I think it's possible if it's with countries that are near this kingdom, but if it includes all the countries that are in the angel's territory, I don't think it's possible," said Leandra.

  "I know that my dream sounds like something impossible to do, but even so I will still achieve my dream," I said.

  "It seems like you will still try to achieve your dream," said Leandra.

  "I admit that you are strong, Rid, but even though you are strong, I didn't expect your dream to be this ridiculous," said Lily.

  They both continued to laugh.

  "You two, stop it," said Princess Irene.

  "But miss, I can't stop laughing at her dream," said Lily.

  Leandra nodded while laughing.

  "I said stop!," said Princess Irene in a threatening tone.

  Leandra and Lily immediately stopped laughing. They were silent in fear of hearing Princess Irene's words.

  "Do you think it's polite to laugh at someone's dream like that?," asked Princess Irene.

  "N-no, miss," said Leandra.

  "Then even if the person's dream is ridiculous in your opinion, is it polite to laugh at it in front of that person?," asked Princess Irene.

  "N-no, miss," said Lily.

  "Then why did you do that?," asked Princess Irene

  "Forgive us miss, we reflexively laughed because this is the first time we've heard a dream like that," said Leandra.

  Lily nodded.

  "You shouldn't apologize to me, but to Rid Archie, the person whose dream you laughed at," said Princess Irene.

  They both fell silent, then turned to look at me.

  "Forgive me, Rid, for laughing at your dream," said Leandra.

  "I apologize too, Rid," said Lily.

  "Rid Archie, I also apologize as their miss. Please forgive us," said Princess Irene.

  They bowed while apologizing to me.

  "It's okay, Princess Irene. Leandra and Lily too. I accept your apologies, so you can stop that," I said.

  Princess Irene, Leandra and Lily stopped bowing.

  "This isn't the first time my dream has been laughed at by others. When I was still in my hometown, every time I was asked about my dream, I answered that and ended up being laughed at. So I'm used to people laughing at my dreams and I don't get mad at them. Indeed, my dream sounds like something very impossible, uniting the world. Leandra is right, let alone uniting the world, establishing peaceful relations with other countries might be difficult. Even so, I will still do it. Rather than getting mad at those who laugh at me, it's better for me to try to prove that I can achieve my dream. But I'm surprised that you didn't laugh after hearing my dream, Princess Irene," I said.

  "As you know, I'm called the ice princess because my expression is always cold so it's impossible for me to laugh easily. But even if I am expressive, someone's dream is not something to laugh at," said Princess Irene.

  I was a little surprised to hear her words.

  "Is that so, well it's still a long time for me to do my dream. I have to graduate from this academy first and get an important position in the kingdom to change this kingdom," I said.

  "Change this kingdom huh? I will support you for that. I will definitely keep my promise later," said Princess Irene.

  "Thank you, Princess Irene. So what about our fake relationship? Do we immediately publish our fake relationship tomorrow?," I asked.

  "......," Princess Irene was silent.

  "Um, I have a suggestion about that," said Leandra.

  "What suggestion, Leandra?," asked Princess Irene.

  "Isn't it too soon for you to announce your fake relationship? Since the academy has only been learning for 2 days and if you count from the beginning of the entrance exam, it's only been 4 days since you met, isn't it suspicious if you suddenly become lovers within 4 days of meeting," said Leandra.

  "You're right, to become a couple, normally you have to have feelings of liking or love first and that's impossible to create in just 4 days. Moreover, Princess Irene and I rarely have direct contact," I said.

  "Right? Then, how about you publish your relationship after 1 month of learning at the academy? I think that time is enough to create feelings of liking that will make other people believe that you are already a couple," said Leandra.

  "1 month huh? I don't have a problem with that," I said.

  "I don't have a problem either," said Princess Irene.

  "Then we agree to make your relationship public in 1 month. The next thing is after this, even though you haven't made your relationship public, do you want to be closer when you're out there to make other people think it's normal for you to date because you've been close from the start? Or do you want to keep rarely contacting each other as usual, but after you make your relationship public, it will surprise other people because they haven't seen you close to each other," said Leandra.

  "I don't mind both, what do you think, Princess Irene?" I asked.

  "Hmmm, I think I prefer the second one, we'll keep rarely contacting each other for a month before making our relationship public. I prefer to see them surprised by our relationship even though we rarely contacted each other before," said Princess Irene.

  "I see, then I also choose the second one," I said.

  "Okay then, we agree to make your relationship public after 1 month of studying at the academy," said Leandra.

  "Yes," said Princess Irene and me.

  -

  Because there was nothing more to talk about, I decided to go back to my dorm.

  "Since this conversation is over, I'll take my leave to go back to my room," I said.

  "Please, Rid Archie," said Princess Irene.

  "Then, good night, Irene," I said.

  "........," Princess Irene was silent.

  "Ah, sorry if it's rude, because we'll be in a fake relationship, so I want to get used to calling 'Princess Irene' only 'Irene'," I said.

  "It's okay. You're right about that, then I'll just call you 'Rid' from now on," said Irene.

  "Good night, Irene," I said.

  "Good night too, Rid," said Irene.

  "I know that your relationship is fake, but please don't do anything romantic in front of us," said Lily.

  Leandra nodded.

  "Hahahaha, good night too Lily, Leandra. I'll take my leave first," I said.

  "Yes, good night, Rid," said Leandra.

  "Good night," said Lily.

  I went to the exit and stopped for a moment to feel if there was anyone outside this floor. After I knew that there was no one outside this floor, I left Irene's dorm.

  -

  After a while Rid said goodbye, Lily and Leandra also said goodbye to return to the dorm.

  "Miss, we also want to say goodbye to return to our dorm," said Leandra.

  "Okay then," said Irene.

  "Good evening, miss," said Leandra and Lily.

  "Good evening too," said Irene.

  Because they were both Irene's assistants, they didn't need to worry if someone saw them when they left Irene's dorm.

  Then they both left Irene's dorm.

  "Irene huh? This is the first time someone has called my name without using the word 'Princess' other than my family and Chloe," said Irene.

  Then she went to her room and sat on her bed.

  "Now that I have a partner, I don't have to worry anymore. I can finally cancel my participation in the event," said Irene.

  After that Irene was silent, she seemed to be thinking about something.

  "'To make this world one and bring complete peace to this beautiful world' huh? What a very interesting dream," said Irene.

  Unconsciously, she smiled as she thought about those words.
