Far to the East, where the sun and sand rule the lands, the birthday of the Second Prince of Sumeru was celebrated. Sitting on a large sofa full of pillows and drinking wine, he accepted gifts from the nobles. That was a bit boring. He would prefer to have a walk outside rather than looking at people trying to suck up to him.

The next person walked to him, bowing deeply down while some slaves moved the cage closer to the centre. Everyone became silent, being curious. Kaeya's eyebrow raised, but without getting slightly interested. The thin-looking nobleman rubbed his hands and smiled flatteringly.

"Your Highness, I hope my gift will be to your liking."

The man nodded to the slaves, making them throw off the cloth, to expose a caged young-looking girl.
