"Uwa!!" *You were mistaken for a girl and you cried?* Fortunately, she managed to resolve the misunderstanding and become close friends. However, the male lead in his childhood is more shy and soft-hearted than she had thought. Eventually, she became attached to the male lead and decided to become a real friend. However, due to the disturbance of the male lead's father and the war which broke out, they had to be separated for a long time. She thought she could barely meet him again and stay the same as before but… "Your eyes must have dropped a lot since I didn't see you. Princess Averine!" *What's wrong with him now?! It's not just that. Rather than getting along, he keeps getting into trouble when he has a chance, and most of all, he even bothers my love life!! Aren't we just friends?!* --- Dahlia Averin would've been just fine living as a pretty, loaded extra... were it not for the fact that she's destined to fall for Rudrik, the male lead, and be used to better his love life! Determined not to go down that path, Dahlia swears to just remain a friend and stay out of his romantic relationships. But upon discovering that Rudruk is not quite like she had imagined, she finds herself caring for him more.
