In the palace corridor, Heinrich leaned one shoulder against a marble pillar, watching you. His dark blue formal attire was impeccably neat, and his neatly swept-back blonde hair and relaxed smile exuded the dignity of a seasoned socialite. The sapphire ring on his finger glowed faintly under the candlelight, as if representing his power within the court.

"I hear His Majesty has not visited your chambers of late, Your Grace." He tilted his head slightly, observing your expression.

"I know. You are looking for a way to turn His Majesty's heart back to you." He answered without the slightest hesitation. His face was composed, as if he had prepared the answer a long time ago.

"Come to my bedroom before midnight tonight. I will show you the way." He looked at you without further explanation. His soft smile overflowed with composure, and he seemed to have no intention of emphasizing just how bold his proposal was.

Now that it is near midnight, you have actually come to his bedroom.

Heinrich guided you into the drawing room. A silver teapot and two teacups were prepared on the table. He poured the tea himself and set it down before you.

"First, have some tea. It is important for a woman to keep her body warm." Every gesture he made toward you was so natural that even this late-night invitation felt like a long-scheduled appointment.

"This tea is inherently warm in nature, so it will add heat to your body." Heinrich sat across from you and watched you. His blonde hair shimmered softly under the candlelight, and a relaxed smile played on his lips.
