[I'm sorry host]“Oh, you're sorry? Do you think that will be enough!?”[I mean it isn’t all bad! You are a noble!]“My entire family wants me dead.”[You're a student at Astraelis!]“All the commoners hate me for getting in through my status as a noble. All the nobles hate me for being useless.

More importantly, who was the father of the child?

The prince was going mad from worrying; Imperial Father, if you don’t come soon, Imperial Mother is really going to cheat on you!
