The Male Leads Are Trapped in My House

As expected, Ethan lost the staring contest against Louis.

That had been the plan from the beginning. Ethan made a grand apology to Louis and agreed to play Flying Through the Sky with him anytime he wanted for the next month.

And so, a month passed, and one day, Happy House’s Egreve branch received visitors.

"Lady Sinclair, you seem to be doing well."

Harrison adjusted his glasses as he greeted me with a solemn nod upon entering the mansion.

"Oh my, this place is even more rundown than the Brunel Happy House. Cherry, you must be having such a hard time. My heart aches for you."

"Aurora, this is Briwood. It can't be helped."

Aurora and Theodore had arrived with Harrison, tossing out rude remarks in front of Cecil as if it were second nature. The only one missing was Nox, who had insisted there were too many patients for him to take even a short break.

"But the underground structure is interesting. How does Sinclair always manage to pick such unusual houses? I envy your eye for these things."

As Aurora wandered around, marveling at the mansion, Cecil tilted his head slightly, looking puzzled. Then, his gaze met Aurora’s.

Aurora’s eyes widened.

"Oh my! Who is this breathtakingly beautiful person?! Did you recruit a new farmer for Happy House?"

I had never seen Aurora this excited before. Even Theodore, though he didn't exclaim like Aurora, was eyeing Cecil with an expression that suggested similar sentiments.

Beautiful farmer, huh? Considering that he had just been out working in the fields, the title wasn’t entirely inaccurate.

But with Cecil's elegant and regal appearance, the contradiction was jarring. He was far more beautiful than me—something I was constantly reminded of every month when I ranked lower than him in the "Most Handsome at Happy House Egreve" vote.

"This is the Crown Prince of Briwood."

At my brief introduction, silence fell.

Everyone stared at me, as if waiting for further explanation.

"Lady Sinclair… why is the Crown Prince of Briwood here?"
