Oujisama had a popularity poll in 2024 and paired some of the princes that scored highly with another character acting as their wing man for an event in early March 2025.
Here Hayden/Henry is the main prince and Harold is the one helping him.
One of the ends has King Harold's pov.
HENRY / HAYDEN POV
Henry has returned from official business and is walking swiftly down the corridors of Philip Castle. He opens a door and sees MC whose face bursts into a smile when she sees him.
After many twists and turns, MC has gone from a temporary pet to his beloved.
(A/N: Don't ask me what the fuck this is about cause I haven't read his main story but apparently he forces her to go to the castle after she loses a pen Wilfred gave him and I've seen him make dog noises at her and say shit like a tiara looks better on her than a collar. 💀)
MC welcomes him home and he asks if she has been a good girl. She says yes then frowns before asking "But have you been a good boy?"
(A/N: No wonder the Philip men are popular they all have yandere tendencies. Henry has mc like a pet, Harold locks her up, idk what bs Wilfred does but I remember his infamous I want you wet from my bed not the ocean with a a sad look on his face. 💀)
MC tells him that she isn't a pet anymore. She looks away and pouts. Henry finds it attractive and cute.
He apologises to her before putting his hands on her cheek and tilting it upward.
Henry: You wouldn't do this to a pet would you?
(A/N: I HOPE THE FUCCK NOT!)
Then he gives her a slow, savouring kiss to let her know he is home now. It doesn't matter if she is with him right now, he cannot get enough of her and wants more.
He is about to deepen their kiss but MC pushes against his chest and stops him. She glares at him and he finds her angry face to be cute as well.
He kisses her lightly again to savour her warmth.
Next day
Henry goes to the library and sees MC engrossed in reading. He tells her that studying is good but she must not overdo it. MC apologises to him but says she can't help it when she's interested in a topic.
Henry: What's so interesting that you lose track of time?
MC: I'm researching where I'll be accompanying you next week on official business.
MC is training to be a princess and she makes Henry's meals so Henry is worried that she is going to crash out.
They're going to a local opening ceremony and MC will be introduced to the public. Given the low scale Henry thinks it will be perfect to get her acquainted but he is anxious.
He recalls what Lloyd told him.
Lloyd: MC is in the archives. She is working hard at her research because she does not want to bring shame onto you, Prince Henry. After dinner she came to borrow the key.
Henry is troubled because he feels as if HE'S the one who caused her trouble with everything in the past. He's happy if MC is here by his side but does MC feels happy?
Henry: Can she really be happy with me?
As her position changes in the future, the burden she must carry will become heavier and heavier.
MC mentions a beautiful blue lake near where they're going to conduct business and how she wants to see it, but the documents are old so she can't find any information on it.
Henry asks if she checked maps or social media but there is nothing about said lake. He wants to gather information about the lake including asking locals but MC stops him and says it is a burden and they can't go given his schedule.
Henry: She's putting away the documents like a good child.
His heart aches cause he wants to do something for her. He is determined to take her there.
Henry: ?!
From the corner of the room is a pillar of white light.
Henry: This light is so dazzling! What is it?!!!
When his eyesight eventually returns, he notices something - someone - standing there.
??: Where am I?
(A/N: MY BOY!)
Henry: ! *There's no way this can be!*
MC: My Prince could this person be....
Henry: Yeah
Both of them are thinking the same way. There is no mistaking it because the library they're in is decorated with portraits of all of the Kings of Philip.
Among them, the man was the spitting image of the first king, King Harold.
??: Who are you all? What are you doing here? More importantly, what on earth is this place...?
Prince Henry: With all due respect... Are you King Harold?
King Harold: ! *shocked sprite*
They try their best to speak calmly to the man, who is likely even more confused than they are.
King Harold: Indeed...I am Harold.
Prince Henry: Nice to meet you. I'm Henry A. Spencer. I'm of legitimate royal blood... and I'm your descendant.
King Harold: *shocked sprite*
King Harold: Spencer... descendant? What are you talking about? I haven't even taken a wife yet.
They explain to him that he had a time slip and travelled hundreds of years into the future. MC hands Henry a book about the History of the Royal Family of Philip.
Henry knows he can't show Harold everything so he confirms his identity by asking inoffensive things such as the founding of Philip Kingdom and Harold's origins.
King Harold: Have I really come to the future...?
Reality sets in for Harold and as Henry is about to close the book...
Harold: Wait...
With unexpected force, King Harold took control.
King Harold: "There's one thing I'd like to know..."
Prince Henry: What would you like to know?
King Harold: You know what? Nevermind...
However, after much deliberation, King Harold retracts his plan.
King Harold: I think I'll stop now. I probably shouldn't listen to this.
Prince Henry: ......*I wonder what Lord Harold wanted to know.*
The way he lowered his eyes as if to convince himself was somehow melancholic――. Upon meeting him for the first time, I felt like I had caught a glimpse of a sensitive side of the great first king.
_____________
A few days have passed since King Harold arrived in the present day...
Arisende: Oh no, it's already this late!
MC, who had brought tea, glanced at the clock in the office and spoke up.
Henry asks if she has plans and she says yes.
King Harold: Now that you mention it. You said you had lessons this afternoon.
Prince Henry:.......
MC excuses herself and leaves.
Now the King and the Prince are alone.
Henry moves from his desk and sits down opposite King Harold, who was relaxing on the sofa.
Prince Henry: ...it seems you're getting used to life in the castle.
King Harold: Yeah. I limit my range so that people around me don't find out too much. When you're away MC takes care of everything.
Prince Henry: I see. So you knew her schedule, too.
King Harold:.......
King Harold stops tilting his cup, quietly raises his eyes and smiles.
King Harold: What, are you jealous?
Prince Henry is caught off guard and he is blushing hard.
Over the past few days, Henry has learnt some things about Harold. For one, the first King is very straightforward with his words and actions. Secondly despite that he loves to tease people.
Prince Henry: Well, of course I'm curious about that. MC is my girlfriend, and we'll be making our debut soon.
(A/N: HERE TUMBLR REFRESHED AND I LOST EVERYTHING I WROTE AFTER HERE.)
Henry is all like well yeah I'm concerned cause we are debuting soon.
Harold: Debuting? Like you're going to introduce her and start doing official business in the provinces?
Harold asks about MC being a baker and states that Henry was able to overcome the differences in status to be with her.
Harold tells him that not only is he jealous of him but he respects that.
Henry thinks about how the first commoner who was welcomed into the Philip Royal Family was his grandmother the former Queen.
Harold looks melancholic and has a lonely smile.
Henry wonders if the question Harold wanted to ask that night was about his own wife, the first Queen of Philip.
Harold mentions that he knows the lake they want to go to and offers to help them find it.
The next day they set off on horseback. MC is riding with Henry cause she can't ride for shit. Harold is soothing his horse and telling it that even though the horse has a stranger on it, the horse is behaving well just like his Sugar.
Henry: Sugar?
Harold: My beloved horse. (A/N: the white one from his main story.)
They find an old day running a cabin and they ask her about the lake. The lake does exist but it can only be accessed by foot or horseback. Henry realizes that he has to go with MC.
Henry handles his horse expertly to a point it makes Harold go "As expected of my descendant."
The next day they go again with Harold as their guide. When they near the lake, Harold suddenly gets off and tells them to go alone. Henry watches as he picks some wildflowers and makes it into a bouquet. Henry wonders who the recipient is.
Harold says he wants to go back to his time and he wants to see Sugar.
Harold thanks them both and as the white light blinds MC and Henry they hear Harold say:
"I wish you both happiness."
_____________
HAROLD END/POV
Just like back then, he is enveloped in a dazzling white light.
Here is...
The next time he opens his eyes, Harold is greeted by a familiar sight.
It was the usual castle stables.
King Harold: *Have I returned... or was everything just a dream?*
But in his hand, He is holding a bunch of wildflowers.
King Harold: *It wasn't a dream... I was definitely in the future.*
Harold: *Henry...I met my descendant and his girlfriend in the future.*
Step by step, he puts his feet onto the dirt and heads to the stall at the very back of the stable. The horse, with its shiny, sugar-white fur, stretches its neck eagerly and rubs its nose against him.
King Harold: I'm back, Sugar.
When he strokes the horse's neck with the palm of his hand, Harold's horse narrowed his eyes in pleasure.
King Harold: At that time, I used Sugar as an excuse to break up with Henry and the others.
King Harold: Henry, MC.I want you two to go on your own from here on out.
Prince Henry: What are you planning to do, King Harold?
King Harold: I want to go back to my time and see Sugar.
In reality, what he had in his mind was the smile of the person he loved - the doctor's assistant, MC.
King Henry: *Seeing Henry and his friends getting along so well, my desire to meet her grew stronger each day.*
King Harold: I wonder how MC is doing...
Sugar shook his head in annoyance at my muttering.
King Harold: I get it. I get it, so don't get so upset.
King Harold: Of course I wanted to meet you too. I'm not lying, it's true.
Smiling wryly at his jealous horse, he pats him on the cheek, gently soothing him.
Seeing Sugar's ears perk up in delight, I opened the stable door.
King Harold: I wonder why I want to see MC's face so much now.
He rides Sugar from the castle to the clinic where MC works. He ties Sugar up a little distance away and quietly watches the situation from behind a tree.
King Harold:.......!
The door opened and she comes out accompanied by an old woman who appeared to be a patient.
MC: Take care of yourself. Don't forget to take your medicine after meals.
King Harold:...MC
At first glance, her smile remains unchanged, but it actually touches his heart deeply. Until recently, as his personal physician assistant, her smile was within his reach.
King Harold: *But now, all I can do is stare at it from a distance...if it were only about our feelings, I felt like we could have connected, just one step away.*
King Harold: *However, once rumors spread, what awaited us was criticism from the nobles and the people. "As a result, even governance and the daily lives of the people MC cares about became threatened.*
Now that he had made the heart-breaking decision to step aside, all Harold could do was secretly harbor feelings for her.
King Harold: There's no way I can give this to her.
He clutched the bouquet in her hands tightly.
King Harold: * If someone finds out, we'll cause trouble for MC and the clinic again
After seeing the patient off, MC heads back inside, and he turns his back on her as well.
Without being able to say anything to her――
Leaving the clinic, with an indescribable pain in his heart, Harold gallops on Sugar to the lake of old. It's the lake close to the fields and mountains where I first met MC.
Harold: It feels like just yesterday that I was here talking to MC.
He sits in the same place as he did back then, looking out at the lake, while he gives Sugar some water and some rest.
King Harold: The two of them, reflected in the water's mirror like surface and bathed in sunlight, will be able to overcome any difficulty..."
Suddenly, he remembers the legend of the blue lake that Henry's girlfriend had so happily told me. Since it seemed like he was hiding something from him that he didn't tell Henry about it until the very end.
Harold has heard of the lake.
King Harold: I was born and raised in that region, and I've never heard of such a thing.
He imagines that this is probably a legend that came to be at a later time.
King Harold: If only I knew that legend in this day and age...I would have gone to that lake with Arisende before this happened. I've never really believed in anything superstitious.
King Harold: So this is what it means to cling to straws.
It goes beyond a wry smile and he starts laughing at himself.
King Harold: Yes, the reason I wanted to help Henry and his friends in the future was because I found myself identifying with them, we're in similar situations.
King Harold: Fortunately, it seems their dreams have come to fruition... I'm sure that hardships will continue to befall them in the future.
Perhaps it was because of this understanding that Henry's girlfriend wanted to visit a lake with such legends.
King Harold: But there is a strong desire to overcome any difficulties with Henry.
(Her strength... is somewhat similar to MC's.)
He looks down and lets out a sigh,and there, beyond that, the flower was swaying again today.
The pale blue flowers were in bloom the day he first encountered MC.
King Harold: No good. Everything I see is connected to MC. That's how much I can't give up on this idea.
King Harold: I wonder if someday I too can break free from all my ties and conflicts and confess like Henry did.
No one answered me, and only the wind blowing across the lake caressed my cheeks.
(No... that's not it. It's not a question of whether you can or can't. You just have to do it.)
With strong will and determination, just like Henry and the others.
Harold picks a flower blooming at his feet and adds it to a bouquet that has transcended time.
(To achieve this, let's do everything we can now)
King Harold: Please wait for me, MC.
Putting unchanging feelings and determination into a bouquet...he places it on a small rock nearby as if it were a token of his vow, then stood up straight.
_________
When Harold left the lake--
A new figure appeared on the lakeside, passing by from a different direction.
MC: Is that... Sugar?
The source of the murmur was MC, who had come to pick medicinal herbs in the nearby fields.
MC: This bouquet is...
Her feet, too, naturally leads her to the place where she had once spoken with Harold.
MC finds a bouquet of flowers placed on a small rock, almost like an altar, and quietly picks it up.
MC: The flower that bloomed at Lord Harold's feet that time...
Clutching the bouquet to her chest, MC gazed out at the lake dyed in the setting sun.
As if thinking of a loved one...
______
Returning to the castle from his long ride with Sugar, he headed straight to his office. Feeling renewed, Harold stands by the window and looks out the window, imagining the streetscape of Philip.
King Harold: First of all, I need to be recognized by the people as a king worthy of ruling this country.
If you can get results and increase the number of people who understand, the way will surely open up.
Then, his eyes meet with his reflection in the window and Harold suddenly remembers Henry.
King Harold: I thought the faces looked quite similar. But...Maybe it was just my imagination, but I could faintly see MC there. Even our descendants are doing their best to stand up to the challenge.
King Harold: There's no reason for me not to show my resolve.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door and the butler, Cyril, came in.
Cyril: You called for me, King Harold?
King Harold: Yes. It's about that procurement of materials for the shipbuilding project... I want to move forward with the next order as soon as possible.
Cyril: Eh... already?
King Harold: We'll increase the number of workers and complete the ship faster than planned. And then--
King Harold: *First, we must ensure the stability of the country and remove anxiety from the people. For the sake of a peaceful future for Henry and his friends. And I will definitely overcome adversity and achieve it. *
A future where we can live together with our loved ones.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door and the butler, Cyril, came in.
Cyril: You called for me, King Harold?
King Harold: Yes. It's about that procurement of materials for the shipbuilding project... I want to move forward with the next order as soon as possible.
Cyril: Eh... already?
King Harold: We'll increase the number of workers and complete the ship faster than planned. And then--
King Harold: *First, we must ensure the stability of the country and remove anxiety from the people. For the sake of a peaceful future for Henry and his friends. And I will definitely overcome adversity and achieve it. *
A future where we can live together with our loved ones.

Finally this is done. I had to play his route twice cause I didn't understand something in this Chapter and the Special Story.
I have a relative irl named Harold who is a massive simp so everytime I keep thinking of him and how embarassing he is when translating this. 💀
If there are mistakes please let me know.
MC: *Wow he looks like a fairytale prince.*
He is wearing light clothing but you can see that it is of high quality. Given the beauty of the coat of the white horse he is riding it is clear he is someone high ranking.
Male: Hey woman!
MC is so mesmerised by him that she doesn't reply. With nobles you have to be careful with your words and your etiquette so she straightens up and makes eye contact with the man on the horse.
MC: I don't mean to be rude. May I kindly ask for your permission to inquire something first?”
Male: What?
MC: Excuse me may I ask who are you?
Male: What?!
The man's eyes widened in shock.
Male: You don't know me?
MC:.....no
This is a bad idea. Maybe he is really famous?
MC: I apologize for being naive. I'm not very knowledgeable about the world.
The man mutters something above her head.
Male: Well you're a rare one.
MC: ….yes?
Male: Nothing. What are you doing here?
He doesn't answer her question.
MC: I'm picking these..
MC is nervous and hesitant but she regains her composure, opens her baskets overflowing with plants and flowers and shows it to him.
MC: I was taking what I needed for work.
Male: I see. It's food for livestock.
MC:.....
MC:*I mean a lot of these can be used at dinner time but it's best to leave it as it is.*
MC: *Men in this world do not approve of women going to work and this attitude is much more prevalent with nobles and aristocrats like this man. This Is from my own experience. The adults around me and patients at the clinic have said the same thing.*
MC: Yes. That's right.
She was happy to deny it and let the man think she's getting food for her animals when his horse begins scratching the ground in front of them.
Darius had once told her that means that the horses want something.
Male: Water?
MC: Water?
Male: Yes. Do you know of any water sources nearby?
MC leads the man to a nearby lake.
Male: Sorry for troubling you. Thank you for helping me.
MC: No problem.
The man after leading his horse to water returns to MC with a relieved look on his face. His eyes are so beautiful she is drawn in.
MC: I am glad I could help well then..
Male: I went out for a ride to relax but the geography around here is complicated.
He cuts her off as she is about to say goodbye to him, now she doesn't have the heart to leave him. She resigns herself to sitting on the grass a small distance away from the man.
Male: How is your income lately?
MC: Income…my income is decent.
Male: That's good, the rains we hoped for didn't come so it must have been tough for you.
MC: Y..yes we need the rains for crops to grow.
MC: *ugh if we keep talking about farming it is going to be tough*
Even though she is panicking on the inside, she endures the situation with a safe answer as if her prayers are heard, a moment of silence comes. The man mutters to himself softly.
Male: It's just like me.
What does that mean?
He lowers his long eyelashes to the ground and looks at the flowers. The pale blue flower spikes stand up straight and sway gracefully in the breeze, neither resisting nor giving in to the wind.
MC: Is something bothering you?
The man who is taken aback by her words goes quiet. She feels sorry for him.
MC: *I can't leave him hanging.*
MC: I am sorry if I seem nosy but I think you will feel better if you let everything out. Most likely I'll never see you again so it's fine.
Male: Is that so?
After a moment of hesitation he casts his gaze onto the lake and begins to speak quietly.
Male: I respected my father and helped him with his work for years but my father passed away and all of a sudden I had to assume his duties. It made me realize how unprepared and immature I am. I am always being called upon to make big decisions at critical times. It's a constant struggle.
MC: *ah he has also lost his father*
Their social classes are different but their situations are almost the same. She feels a sense of closeness with him.
MC: I lost my parents at a young age too.
Male: ???
MC: Their teachings or rather their will is all I have left of them. The more sadness you feel the more happiness slips away. On the other hand if you always stay positive and smile good fortune will come to you from unexpected places so even now I try to do that.
Male:....MC: Of course it doesn't solve everything, there are times where I am lost but when I do that somehow someone always lends a hand. I feel like there's a lot we can overcome when we do that.
Images of Uncle La Salle and Darius come to mind and she smiles.
MC: You were entrusted with your father’s work so that means he had high expectations of you right? If that's the case you should be confident and positive too.
He stares at her in shock when she's finished speaking. Then the man bursts out laughing as if not expecting her to say something like that.
Male: Hahaha
MC is confused by his sudden smile more than his laughter till now she never had the impression that he was easygoing or would laugh among strangers.
MC: *He looks younger than he really is when he smiles. Who wouldn't want to help him when they see his smile.*
Male: You're a strong woman.
MC: Strong? I guess so.
She has no idea if he means it as a compliment but he looks more calm and refreshed than when they first met.
MC: *I hope I was able to help even a little.*
Male: The sun is almost gone now.He stands up brushing the grass off of his clothes.
MC: It has! I need to get home soon!She frantically tries to stand up as if it is the most natural thing in the world, the man holds out his strong hand to her.
Male: It's almost night time, I'll take you home. Show me the way.
MC notices something on his hand.
MC: This wound…
Male: …..*surprised sprite*
On the back of his hand is a large laceration. Mc examines it. She realizes that the man isn't well and he has a fever.
MC: You need proper treatment!
Male: No need.
MC: !
He shakes his hand off away from her and his expression returns to his stubborn one.He turns his back to her and walks briskly to his horse.
MC: *I thought we were getting to know each other better but more importantly..*
MC: No! If you leave it alone it will get worse!
She chases after the man.
Male: A wound this size will heal if I pour alcohol on it.
MC:...Wha
MC: That is unsanitary!
Male: Oh stop bothering me! If I don't want to be treated, I DON'T WANT TO BE TREATED.
MC: Can you please just….kyaah!
Suddenly she is lifted up by the man. MC protects the basket of herbs as she goes up. The man places her on the horse’s back. She is amazed at how easily he placed her there.
MC: What are you doing?
Male: I told you I was taking you home. Didn't you hear me?
The man straddles his horse with her infront of him. He effortlessly turns his horse, travelling back the way he came at a speed she can only imagine.
MC: *This is scary! This position makes me feel as if I am being hugged from behind.*
MC: Put me down!
Male: Be quiet unless you want to get thrown off.
Once they descend the mountain and reach flat ground... in fact, once on flat ground the horse gallops down the road even faster. MC is making noises because of the speed.
Male: What a really unattractive voice you have. Hold on! If we go at leisurely speed the sun will be set before you know it.
MC: Even so…
Male: That's it!
Even though he's being reasonable, the man seems to be having fun much to her chagrin. The horse gallops faster and faster, MC has to hold on for dear life to its back.
He may be a nice guy but this is just mean, she thinks.
A while later they're in town as darkness has set in.
MC: *I thought I was going to die.*
Male: Are you sure you want to be left here?
MC: Yes. Thank you.
Pale faced as the man helps her off of the horse, a stone’s throw away from her home, MC thanks him.
Male: I apologise for going fast and scaring you but even if you don't have parents, there must still be people who are worried about when you'll come home.
She stared at him and sees a kind look in his eyes. MC is dumbfounded but she can't look away.
Male: You helped me today. Thanks to you I feel better.
With that he melts into the night with a quick flick of the reins, in the darkness she can still hear the sound of hooves being carried on the wind before they fade away.
MC: There must be people worried about you as well even if you do not have parents someone must care about you too...
MC: *No matter what he's a good person at heart*
Her heart feels warm and she heads home.
__________
La Salle and Darius are pissed. MC knew it would turn out like this. They returned home from their house calls and were worried when she didn't come home.
MC: I am sorry. It was a complete oversight and stayed out longer than I wanted.
She bows to them both.
Darius: I expected better from you.
MC: Look on the brightside I picked things I can cook for dinner. I'll start preparing them right away.
Smiling, she walks past them both into the kitchen.
Uncle La Salle: As long as you are safe that is fine.
MC: I am so sorry.
Darius:.....
If she tells them that she was with a stranger they would worry even more. That's why she asked the man to drop her off a short distance from her house.
MC: *I wonder if he got home safely. I should have asked his name.*
She remembers the gentle expression on his face when they parted.
__
The next day the clinic is closed because of the holiday. MC is taking stock and making medicine.
Uncle La Salle asks her for chest pain medicine.
MC: Okay!
The reason why they're so busy is because a messenger from a neighbouring town came to their house. Their only doctor, an acquaintance of La Salle's, has collapsed and is bedridden. Uncle La Salle is going to that town to care for him and the townsfolk. MC and Darius will run the clinic together in his absence. Their mentor is a kind hearted man who often takes trips to help others so this isn't a first for them.They see Uncle La Salle. off and MC is glad she picked the herbs yesterday.
She has a late breakfast with Darius, tells him she's happy that today is a holiday and goes about cleaning the medical equipment.
Darius: Why did you really take so long yesterday?
The question comes out of nowhere and she is at a loss for words.
MC: I told you. I was also looking for plants to cook so it took a while.
Darius: That's a lie.
MC: That's not a lie.
Darius: I understand, sis.
Darius resorts to calling her sister which she has a weakness for.
MC: What do you mean “You understand?'
Darius: If I told you how else would I catch your lies?
MC is defeated.
MC: When I was up on the mountain, I met a man of noble rank who asked me to guide him to a water source for his horse so I did.
Darius’s face darkens.
Darius: A man of noble rank?
MC: Yes and that's it. We didn't reveal each other's identities so I don't know who he is and he doesn't know me either.
Darius: Really? Did they say anything mean to you? Did they do anything to you?
And this is why she didn't want to tell him anything. Darius’ anxiety is intense, maybe as he knows her true origins as the daughter of a Lord or daughter of an aristocrat if she wants to be up to date.
MC: *Well they ended up in ruin so my parents would be known as former nobles.*
MC: No, he did nothing of the sort. If anything he is a wonderful person. He wasn't arrogant, in fact he wanted to understand the life of ordinary people like us.
Now that she thinks about it he did seem different from the other high ranking people around town.
Darius: Still. Don't get too involved.
MC: Of course.
MC: *I told you the truth, why are you still sour?*
She is curious about Darius being grumpy when there is a knock at the front door.
MC: Huh? We're closed, it must be an emergency.
Darius: I'll answer the door!
Darius unlocks the door and standing there is a well dressed young man.
BMP/Oujisama no Propose has this event where you get points by sending the prince's pets/symbol animals on errands. You choose a basket and the animal takes it to you friends list.
I'm playing with Ivan so Snieg (or Urey) is the one who takes the basket. It's so cute. 😭
