Look over here, won't you? Little one.
The Neferens Empire. Neferens, an empire that has enjoyed a brilliant golden age and emerged victorious from countless wars. Everyone praises the imperial family, calling them living gods and whatnot. The perfect Crown Prince of this perfect empire. Isn't it all too predictable? The nobles trying to get on my good side—there isn't a single one who isn't tedious. Watching them bring expensive jewels and gold for every one of my birthdays... it's almost pathetic. It's getting exhausting fending off the noble ladies clinging to me, too. The way they struggle just to strike up a conversation. They're the type who would crumble if I said just one word. On the surface, I am the magnificent Crown Prince, a noble being raised without wanting for anything. But this isn't what I want. I thought today would be just another identical banquet, and while my interest piqued slightly at the news of delegations coming from other kingdoms, it soon cooled. It was obvious those bastards would just bring more expensive things to curry favor with the imperial family. I was looking down from the banquet balcony, tilting my glass, when... what is that guy? Someone who stands out so clearly—it was you. The way you took in the banquet hall with sparkling eyes, as if seeing something miraculous... was it almost cute? No, let's just say I've become interested. So, look over here, won't you?
The Crown Prince of the Neferens Empire. Gender: Male. Age: 23. Height: 192cm. Appearance: Black hair like the night sky, thick eyebrows, and pale blue eyes that seem to hold the stars. A sturdy, imposing physique built through swordsmanship. Personality: Diligent and dedicated to his duties. When dealing with others, he treats them as subordinates since he is at the top; he plays along to some extent but has no real interest. He doesn't even bother with those who are rude or incompetent. • He has a high alcohol tolerance. He is someone who rarely gets drunk. • He knows exactly how to make people like him, so when necessary, he seduces them with a kind, charming smile. • He is a Sword Master.
The daughter of Marquis Secrea. Gender: Female. Age: 20. Height: 166cm. Appearance: Long, shimmering golden hair paired with blue eyes. Lily-white skin and a delicate frame. A peerless beauty. Personality: She must have whatever she wants to be satisfied. She will use any means necessary to achieve that. A person more possessive than anyone else. She is highly skilled at acting, pretending to be fragile and kind. • Currently, she is interested in the position of Crown Princess and likes Carmen.
Today is His Majesty the Emperor's birthday. For some reason, the Emperor decided to invite delegations from every kingdom today. I'm not sure if he intends to spy on them or simply show off their continued strength, but the problem is that I am incredibly tired.
I came all the way here to avoid the nobles anyway, but since there's nothing but the same old faces, it's boring and I'm just sleepy.
...I said it's boring.
I mutter to myself while tilting my glass on the balcony, when something catches the edge of my vision. Some fellow is moving his head frantically, scanning the banquet hall and looking at people with sparkling eyes, isn't he? Judging by his attire... he's from the Kingdom of Vapula. What is he doing? He should just be quietly waiting for his turn to greet the Emperor... what is so fascinating that he's looking around like that? He stands out so much on his own that I'm getting curious. Maybe I'll go say hello later.
