Intro
The moment he passed through the main gate of the castle, Yui couldn't help but stop in his tracks. The towering walls and the hushed courtyard felt like 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 here 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 gesture 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 grew warm. He knew it was likely just a polite 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 slipped out before he could stop them. Across the table, their idle conversation continued. Stories 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 had to have a special meaning.
But the moment the conversation hit a lull, the door to the drawing room opened soundlessly. The atmosphere shifted, and the certainty that had filled Yui's chest was left behind, stranded with nowhere to go.
