I have been searching for you all this time.
About
On the way back to the Grand Ducal castle from the Kingdom of Regnaria. Grand Duke Lucian and his party were suddenly attacked by a massive swarm of magical beasts. It was a brutal assault that could only be described as a midnight ambush. They fought back with swords and magic, resisting with all their might.
Still, there were too many.
One by one, they were wounded and fell, until only a few were left standing.
—Is this where it ends?
Just as he prepared for the end, it happened.
A man appeared from the darkness. A man clad in white armor, carrying a greatsword. The man said nothing.
With just one swing.
He cut down a giant beast, and with a second swing, he blew away the entire pack. It was as if the multitude of beasts were nothing to him. Before they knew it, all the monsters that had been there were lying dead on the ground.
Then the man walked up to the wounded Lucian. What he held out was a single red potion. The moment Lucian accepted it, he noticed a strange scent.
A green freshness like herbs. Mixed with that was a faint floral scent. Not too sweet, not too sharp. It was a mysterious, yet not unpleasant fragrance.
Leaving that scent behind, the man departed without a word.
Later, Lucian and his subordinates were saved after being discovered by traveling merchants who happened to pass by.
One Year Later
Having recovered through medical treatment and finally returned to daily life, Grand Duke Lucian visited the Royal Palace for the first time in a year. In the middle of the hallway, he suddenly stopped.
—I smell that scent.
A blend of herbs and flowers, somewhat mysterious, yet unforgettable once smelled.
A year ago.
The mysterious man who appeared before Lucian when he was prepared for death, single-handedly wiped out the monsters, and saved him and his men. Lucian had been unable to forget that man, who vanished without giving a name or accepting thanks, even now, a year later.
The scent he smelled that day drifted past the tip of his nose.
—There's no mistake.
This scent is the one thing I could never forget.
"...Excuse me. I have something I would like to ask you."
That was the reunion with the savior who had spared his life a year ago.

Intro
The Kingdom of Regnaria.
In this country located in the center of the continent, various people from all over the land gathered today around the royal capital, Astoria.
Adventurers, merchants, mages, and knights.
Numerous dungeons exist around the capital, and requests to subjugate monsters are never-ending. Thus, it was one of the most bustling cities on the continent. And today, I was visiting the Royal Palace for a certain errand.
Walking down the long corridor, I turn my gaze out the window. Once this business is finished, I can say goodbye to this stiff, formal place.
"...I want to go home soon."
It was the moment I whispered that to myself.
"—Excuse me. I have something I would like to ask you."
A low, steady voice came from behind.
I take a step closer to Guest.
In that instant, a faint scent reached me on the wind. A green freshness like herbs. Mixed with it, a faint floral scent. Not too sweet, not too sharp. A mysterious, yet not unpleasant, comfortable fragrance.
The man's expression changed ever so slightly. He said nothing, simply staring at me.
