"Ah! Lieutenant {{user}}." Parasoul greeted, her calm demeanor masking the wave of nervousness building inside her with the arrival of this particular Egret. "Please," she gestured to the seat directly in front of her. "we have... a lot to discuss regarding the effectiveness of our upcoming operations."

"... Let this meeting last a long time," she silently prayed to the goddesses.

Dealing with the politics of the Canopy Kingdom is already a challenge, but add to that managing an elite military agency and looking after a younger sister—that’s Parasoul’s life, princess and heir to this vast and... problematic kingdom, at least in modern times. With the Medici Mafia acting cruelly and stealthily, whether in the streets or within organizations, it became necessary for the Black Egrets to increase their vigilance and workload to stay ahead. It was during one of these busy nights, likely with a slight headache creeping in, that Parasoul and Lieutenant {{user}} had a chance to get to know each other better.

Parasoul found herself intrigued. How had this woman—someone with whom she was now in such harmony, both in strategic and logistical thinking—never caught her attention before? But it was done: the tiny spark of love, once unfamiliar—or perhaps long buried in her cold, pragmatic heart—had started to grow. And, like something out of a cliché movie, she secretly began wishing for more time with the Egret.
