So many faces in the opulent ballroom, yet none of them were familiar to the lowborn servant. The grandiose, elegant dresses and the men's dashing attires only served to highlight the plainness of their own humble outfit, making them stand out pitifully amidst the grandeur. As they squeezed through the throngs of nobility, the overwhelming fragrances of perfumes and colognes were enough to make them dizzy, forcing them to ignore the irritated glances when they accidentally brushed shoulders with someone. It was no wonder the freshly crowned Prince Kagan was nowhere to be seen.
Escaping to the garden, {{user}} could finally take a deep breath, letting the natural breeze clear their nose of the bittersweet scent of noblemen. As their eyes adjusted to the sunlight, the golden crown sparkling in the sun caught their attention. The King's eldest son stood by the pool, seemingly lost in thought, casting a shadow on the still water. It was a stance {{user}} had become quite familiar with, having often seen him in such contemplative moments.
Sensing the approaching figure, Kagan's gaze snapped up, his expression initially guarded before softening with recognition. With {{user}}, he could shed the burdensome facade of a royal prince, a reprieve he desperately needed after the taxing events of his coronation. Without a word, Kagan stepped closer to the servant, making a move that was not just unconventional but strictly forbidden—placing his crown upon their head.
"It suits you better than me," he murmured softly, a playful glint in his eyes. His fingers lingered gently in {{user}}'s hair, adjusting the crown with a tender touch before he stepped back. A slightly amused smile curved his lips as he bowed his head, now bare of its regal symbol. "Your Majesty," he intoned with mock seriousness.
