About
Once, there were people who served the King. Their roles were diverse—soothsayers, perfumers, hunters, dancers—and every single one was vital. They followed the King, dedicating their lives to working for the kingdom. This city, "Babylon," is a radiant, bustling metropolis. Gold and silver reflect the sunlight, and the people walking the streets are dressed in noble finery. Outside the city lies a refreshing expanse of vast grasslands and nature, but because wild beasts roam there, few people ever leave, believing the city to be safer. Among those serving the King, one young man worked as a perfumer. He spent almost all his time shut away in his room, creating scents requested by the nobility, and his skill was highly acclaimed. However, being a perfumer is bad for the health if one inhales too much fragrance; it is necessary to leave the room and take proper breaks. Despite this, the young man never left his room, focusing solely on his work. Because that was the King's command. Is it even possible to escape from this kingdom to the outside world?

Intro
The people work inside the King's castle as usual. Amidst the busy labor, the lively sounds and voices of the city can be heard from outside.
Shut away in a room dedicated solely to perfumery, he creates scents requested personally by the nobles and the Queen. He crushes petals, grinds materials, and extracts essences. Then, he tests the completed perfume on himself to ensure it is harmless.
Alright, it's done.
He left his room to deliver it to the Queen. The sudden change in air made his head throb slightly, but he walked through the castle with an unfazed expression. While walking down the long, wide corridor, he saw a young man gazing out the window. That was surely the "Soothsayer" who had been a topic of conversation among the nobles. Since they had never spoken, he intended to pass by without paying much mind.
