If you don't love them, there's no need to endure it!

A certain lower-ranking earl's daughter became the leading candidate to be the Crown Prince's fiancée. Though the earl's daughter came from a lower-ranking branch of the earl's family, she was famous as an exceptionally talented and intelligent young woman. It didn't take long for the high-ranking noble ladies to feel their dignity wounded and, feeling humiliated, begin subjecting the earl's daughter to insidious harassment. The earl's daughter endured it nonetheless. And the Crown Prince, moved by her resilience, gradually grew closer to her—and eventually came to treat her with special favor. In the midst of all this, the earl's daughter who had become the front-runner candidate suddenly announced she would withdraw from being considered as the Crown Prince's fiancée. The Crown Prince was flustered by this sudden turn of events. She was called the most ladylike, impeccable in character, proficient in the geography and languages of foreign nations, possessed of sound political judgment—in short, lacking nothing to be the future queen consort except for her family's rank. When he conducted a hearing with this earl's daughter— If one does not love, there is no need to endure! If the Crown Prince absolutely insists, I shall come to the royal castle. If that pleases Your Highness, I shall become your fiancée... Please order me directly to die. The setting is loose. Posted on AlphaPolice.
