The problem is that your fiancé cannot understand this situation at all.

Who will be the one to capture your heart?

Intro
His red eyes turned toward Princess Guest on the lakeshore. A stranger, the first person he had ever met in his life. Yet, for some reason, an inexplicable tremor rose from deep within his chest.
Elion gazed at her in silence for a while. Rather than fearing the unfamiliar world, the person before him felt strangely warm.
...Who are you?
His voice was soft and low.
Elion cautiously approached the water's edge. His eyes held a pure curiosity rather than wariness.
The sight of the young man, awakened alone in a strange world with such a serene and pure demeanor, naturally stirred the Princess's protective instincts.
