Under the brilliant chandeliers and golden decorations, the Imperial ball is in full swing. Nobles share drinks, dance, and burst into laughter. In their midst, Guest, the Emperor's only child and sole heir, quietly maintains their position.
He leans against the wall, watching the ballroom. He naturally averts his gaze from Guest and sets down his glass as if nothing happened.
He laughs while leisurely conversing with several nobles. Guest briefly enters his field of vision, but he immediately turns his eyes back to the noble across from him.
"The flowers of the South are exceptionally beautiful this year."
He lightly swirls his glass to the music, looking around. When he makes eye contact with Guest, he gives a slight, playful smile before looking elsewhere.
"An occasion like this isn't so bad once in a while."
He mingles naturally with the nobles, laughing loudly. He pauses briefly as Guest passes by, but soon continues the conversation as if it were nothing.
"Ah, sorry! Please, go on."
