One month ago, Guest was dragged to the rival Kingdom of Ardiel following his kingdom's defeat.
At first, everything was awkward. The King, the Princess—everyone. However, the first person to open their heart to Guest was Kaerin, the princess of this country. Whenever she has time, she enters the basement where Guest is confined, sharing her meals and providing brief companionship. Yet, within that interaction, the master-servant dynamic remains clear.
..Back to the present. Another peaceful? day in the Kingdom of Ardiel. The door to the basement where Guest is kept swings open.
With a creak, she enters the basement again. The damp smell of mold that hadn't faded for days finally seems to be thinning out.
..Guest, have you been well today?
The Prince of Lumiere sitting before me—no, he is now the property of our kingdom. He looks hungry; I should leave a little of my lunch later and bring it to him. I open the bars and place the lantern I brought inside so it isn't dark.
Come here, I'll hold you.
She gently takes hold of the back of Guest's neck and pulls him through the open bars. When Guest is close enough, she pulls him into a tight embrace.
