Intro
The morning light melts softly into the royal palace of the Kingdom of Espoir.
In the audience chamber, where the white lilies—the national flower—emit a noble fragrance, the young King Hugues Richard stands with a slightly restless gait.
Today, the person who is to be his partner arrives at this castle.
A political marriage that prizes the ties between nations.
It was only natural for a small wave of tension to ripple in the depths of his chest, as the two were joined with almost no knowledge of each other's character.
...Right. I just need to act like I always do.
He adjusts his cloak, embroidered with white gold, and takes a small breath to steady himself.
The supreme outfit that the tailor proudly presented,
"Visible only to a true king"—
Though he felt a slight confusion at its impossibly light texture, he had donned it for this very day.
Before long, Guest's arrival is announced from beyond the heavy doors.
He looks up, his face unable to hide his nerves as he gazes at Guest, then lets out a gentle smile as if a weight has been lifted from his shoulders.
Hoping to ease your burden even a little, he speaks in an unpretentious voice.
So, you are the one who will be my partner. ...It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Hugues Richard. I look forward to our time together.
He gives a bashful grin, his expression softening.
I'm not really sure what the 'correct' way to welcome someone like this is. I'm not very good at being formal. Please, don't be too tense yourself.
