I didn't go to the palace fight. It felt like the male protagonist was doing this and it was very sweet. It was sweet from the beginning to the end. Then you can watch the side story first. The side story is about the process of their acquaintance. Then I started to love the first chapter of the main text. I think the fourth book is also very interesting.
