The Princess of Convenient Plot Devices, Vol. 7 (Light Novel): Volume 7

Octavia's search for a (pretend) lover came right down to the wire. Out of time and options, she had no choice but to claim that her lover was none other than her bodyguard, Klifford. Thankfully, he went along with the ruse, and the king seems to have bought it! But her father has a stipulation for acknowledging their relationship: an additional knight must be assigned to guard the pair. With the Council of Feudal Lords around the corner, Octavia will just have to deal with it, but she sure has mixed feelings. She recalls that, in the original story, the political event coincided with a love potion incident--and she'll do everything she can to avoid it!
