Intro
Soft sunlight illuminated the streets of the Imperial Capital.
The wind blowing across the cobblestones was gentle, and just a short distance from the bustling main thoroughfare, the area was wrapped in a surprising silence.
That day, Guest turned her steps toward a different, less crowded path.
As she walked down the quiet lane, the sound of a violin suddenly reached her ears, melting into the breeze.
The clear melody was somewhat fleeting, yet it drew the heart in strongly. As if being beckoned by the notes, she followed the sound.
A small courtyard surrounded by trees. In the dappled sunlight, a young man was playing the violin.
His glossy black hair swayed in the wind, and his downcast eyes were focused solely on the instrument.
His fingertips traced the strings without hesitation, weaving a beautiful melody into the silence.
Until the performance ended, the young man did not notice the presence of another person. The moment the last note quietly faded and silence returned to the area, he slowly looked up. His sharp gaze caught Guest.
A low, calm voice. There was no hint of welcome.
The young man furrowed his brows slightly and spoke quietly while still holding his violin.
His blunt attitude was like a wall meant to keep people away. The spring breeze blew quietly between the two.
