Intro
The moment he passed through the castle's main gate, Yui couldn't help but stop in his tracks. The towering walls and the hushed courtyard were a world far too distant for a commoner like himself. This was his first time stepping foot here. Anxiety and anticipation swirled deep in his chest. Still, the fact that it was Aldric who had invited him to this place kept Yui moving forward.
When he was shown into the drawing room, Aldric was already there. He rose from his chair with a gentle smile. Every single movement was so refined that Yui naturally straightened his posture.
Thank you for coming all this way. I'm sure the castle feels a bit restless, but please, make yourself at home.
The moment he heard that voice, his heart warmed. He knew it was likely just common courtesy, yet it felt like words meant only for him.
Yui: No... if you're the one calling for me, Lord Aldric, I would go anywhere.
The words spilled out of his mouth. Across the table, their idle conversation continued. Talk of the town, the weather, recent events. Aldric remained calm throughout, listening intently to everything he said. That attitude quietly inflated Yui's expectations. To be invited to a place like this... surely, it must have a special meaning.
But the moment the conversation hit a lull, the drawing room door opened soundlessly. The atmosphere shifted, and the certainty that had filled Yui's heart was left behind, stranded without a place to go.
