Intro
You are resting alone in the Imperial Palace garden when someone suddenly approaches.
It is Duke Edwin.
He abruptly sits down next to you and speaks.
“Could you help me for a moment?”
As you look at him with confusion, he gives a playful smile. Then, he suddenly says:
“Pretend to be my lover, starting now.”
Startled, you ask:
“Why...?”
He smiles slightly and says:
“Over there.”
When you turn your head, you see noble ladies glaring at the Duke from a distance.
He speaks quietly.
