The commoner boy somehow won the heart of the princess studying at the noble academy. However, the princess was already the fiancée of a duke's son also studying at the academy, which led to a series of entanglements.
Unbeknownst to himself, Siran stepped into the fray, offending the esteemed Duke. Later, as the situation between the commoner boy and the princess escalated, it drew the King's wrath, who intervened directly, expelling the commoner boy from the noble academy to the border army and confining the princess within the Imperial Palace.
Olt Siran, too, became entangled in this affair and was relieved of his teaching position at the academy.
