“The royal family can only marry other royals or high-ranking nobles. There has never been an exception in the past.”
In this regard, the Sakuragi Duke family has a few examples, albeit rare, of marrying commoners in their long history.
The Duke firmly states that this difference is significant.
After all, in the end, when it comes to the final move.
If they can checkmate themselves and not the royal family…

Recently, Suzuha has been coming home late.
It’s because she became a student council officer at the Royal Strongest Knight Girls’ Academy.
Apparently, becoming a student council officer as a first-year student and, moreover, as a commoner, is a big event unheard of in the previous generations. I’m proud of my sister, even though she’s my sister.
That’s all well and good, but…
“I’m home, big brother.”
“Welcome back, Suzuha. Tonight’s dinner is sushi, pork shabu-shabu, and grilled fish cakes.”
“Yay!”
Yuzuriha-san also cheered along with Suzuha.
Lately, Yuzuriha-san has been coming to our house almost every day after school with Suzuha.
Well, it’s definitely strange for a duke’s daughter to hang out at our commoner’s house, but there’s no way I can make such a comment to a noble.
And if we set aside the whole noble talk, it’s always welcome for Suzuha’s friends to visit.
“Yuzuriha-san, if you’d like, please join us too.”
“Really? Well then, sorry, but I’ll gladly accept your offer.”
Wait a minute, Yuzuriha-san. You were just saying “Yay” along with Suzuha.
“By the way, Yuzuriha-san, have you ever had sushi?”
“Not at my home. But Suzuha-kun’s family’s food is always delicious. I’m always looking forward to it. I’m sorry.”
“No, not at all. Yuzuriha is always taking care of us.”
Now, about why Yuzuriha-san has been coming to our house so often lately. When I listened to their conversation, it seemed to go like this:
Since Suzuha became a student council officer, Yuzuriha-san, who is the student council president, diligently guides Suzuha in her student council work every day.
After finishing the student council work, Yuzuriha-san, in the same passionate manner, gives practical training to Suzuha—what one might call a serious fistfight.
Then, Suzuha is completely exhausted from that, Yuzuriha-san, for some reason, insists on accompanying her home, arguing that she might be defenseless and attacked by thugs.
…Well, the first two make sense, but the last one seems unnecessary.
Even if Suzuha is completely worn out, I think she can handle a bunch of thugs or common soldiers surrounding her.
“Listen, Suzuha-kun’s elder brother, it’s absolutely necessary to escort her home.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course. Even if Suzuha-kun can usually hold back against opponents, when she’s exhausted, she can’t go easy. So, it’s necessary.”
“Ah… I see…”
“Attacking thugs who came at you, beating them to a pulp, and then having the arriving guards endlessly question you about the situation is a real hassle, you know? Oh yes, it’s much more troublesome than fighting.”
Yuzuriha-san looks into the distance.
It seems like she recalled something unpleasant.
Or rather, she’s definitely experienced it, right?

Now, after finishing the commoner-style dinner of sushi, Yuzuriha-san praised it as delicious and even had seconds.
The problem comes afterward.
As I was giving Suzuha a massage, Yuzuriha-san stared at us intently.
“Stare…”
“…Uh, um…”
“Stare…”
“…Yuzuriha-san…?”
Honestly, being stared at like that makes it awkward.
I know it doesn’t look good.
After all, to thoroughly knead and massage the inner muscles, it looks like I’m sticking my fingers into Suzuha’s anus. It’s not exactly like that, but it looks a bit similar.
“…Uhm, do you, uh, have something you want to say?”
“N-no! I-I have nothing to say! I definitely don’t want Suzuha-kun’s elder brother to massage me, not just on the surface, but from the core of my body! I absolutely don’t think anything like that!”
“I-is that so…”
Then, I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t stare at me with such a frustrated look.
Actually, Yuzuriha-san has received my massage before.
On that day, as I was observed so eagerly giving Suzuha a massage, I blurted out, “How about you, Yuzuriha-san? Want to give it a try?” To my surprise, she eagerly responded, “Y-Yes!? Well, let’s give it a shot! I’m curious. Counting on you!”

However.
After the massage, she had a somewhat discontented or unfulfilled expression, so I’m pretty sure she didn’t like my massage.
“…………It’s different, after all.”
“Huh?”
“Suzuha’s big brother, the massage you give Suzuha and the massage you gave me are completely different. What’s going on!?”
“Uh… Naturally. A massage that intimately reaches the core of the body like this is not something you’d give to Yuzuriha san who is not family, let alone a major noble like you.”
“That’s not fair. Isn’t that aristocratic discrimination?”
What is this direct descendant of the Duke’s family saying?
“No, no, no. If I were caught giving the same massage like with Suzuha to you, we’d be in serious trouble. We’d be executed.”
“And besides, I guarantee that my father, even if he finds out, won’t mind. I put my entire soul into that promise.”
“Even before that, it’s simply out of common sense.”
“Why?”
“You’re the daughter of a noble before marriage.”
“If, for example, “If, before my wedding night with my future husband, you were to violate my rear end, and he were to make a big deal out of such a trivial matter lacks the magnanimity to marry me. I refuse such a man. Besides, if for some reason I end up without a husband, I could make you take responsibility…”
“Calm down. Anyone with common sense would consider Yuzuriha-san way more out of line.”
“Ugh. If I say this, he’ll say that…”
For some reason, Yuzuriha-san gnashed her teeth looking frustrated.
Not knowing how to resolve the situation, as my hands stopped massaging, Suzuha, seemingly inspired, spoke up.
“Maybe, Yuzuriha-san, you just want to become stronger, too.”
“Huh?”
“Suzuha’s big brother’s massage is certainly unique, different from any other massage in this world. So it’s natural for you to seek that.”
“Even though Yuzuriha-san is already so strong?”
“No matter how strong you are, the desire to reach even greater heights never fades. Don’t you know that, Suzuha’s big brother?”
“Hmm…”
If that’s the case, I can’t just flatly refuse.
Moreover, Yuzuriha-san herself has confidently declared that she won’t hold anyone accountable for any crime. So, then…
“Um, so, Yuzuriha-san, would you like to give it a try?”
“Hmm!? Yes!”
“It’s the same as Suzuha, a massage that thoroughly relaxes the core and inner muscles. Of course, considering the content, and if by any chance it’s discovered, there’s a high possibility that Yuzuriha-san won’t be able to get married. So, I’m not forcing you, but…”
Yuzuriha-san’s reaction was dramatic.
She went from having a face that looked almost on the verge of tears to a sudden full-face smile.
She quickly adopted a cool face, probably thinking that nobles should not show their emotions.
But even then, the corners of her lips kept twitching.
Not very fitting for the daughter of a major noble.
“S-So that’s how it is!? Well, if you’re so eager to massage me, then I guess it can’t be helped!”
“Well, personally, I’m more against it…”
“N-No, no, no! Don’t say anything more! Well, as a noble’s obligation, I need to know about massages for commoners!”
“Eeerrr…”
“Oh, you, don’t you dare think I’ll go easy on you just because I’m a noble? I’m asking for the same wholehearted massage Suzuha gets, without any mercy!”
” …… Well, that’s okay. ”
After that, she immediately discarded her clothes, lying on the bed in just her underwear. I gave Yuzuriha-san the full-force massage she desired.
By the way, my massage can be quite painful until you get used to it, but as instructed, I went ahead without holding back.
As a result, every time I applied pressure, Yuzuriha-san bounced around like a fish caught on a hook, twitching vigorously.
By the way, Yuzuriha-san’s underwear today was black.
Upon seeing it, Suzuha looked impressed and said, “Th-this is the advanced underwear that exudes the eroticism of a noble lady, right…!” So, as her brother, I was a bit concerned.

On a certain day off, Suzuha and I were summoned by Yuzuriha-san.
We arrived in a luxurious carriage provided by the Duke’s family, and to our surprise, we were taken to the Sakuragi Duke’s residence.
Suzuha seemed calm beside me, so he probably knew where we were going.
In that case, I wish she had told me. It’s bad for my heart.
“Hello, both of you. Welcome.”
Without giving us a chance to ask what was going on, we were guided deep into the vast grounds of the estate.
“Suzuha-kun and his brother, thank you for coming today. ──Today, I would like Suzuha-kun and her brother to give a full day of guidance. Is that okay?”
“Guidance…?”
“Yes. It’s the kind of training and practical exercises that you usually do with Suzuha-kun. Of course, including flexible exercises and massages.”
“Hmm.”
I don’t really understand the thoughts of high nobles.
The reason I train Suzuha, spar with her, guide her in flexible exercises, and give her massages is because we’re poor commoners.
If we had an environment where we had money, whether as nobles or commoners with enough wealth, we would definitely hire a professional.
What exactly is their intention?
“Suzuha-kun’s brother has a difficult expression. But you don’t have to think too deeply about it. Today, I just want you to join in this little game. Of course, I will make sure to pay you for a full day of guidance.”
“No, I don’t need money for amateurish and pseudo guidance.”
“Take it without saying that. Now, time is precious. Let’s get started right away.”
