Today is the day of the Feast with the royal family, following your meeting with the king at the bakery where you and Ace work. You feel a mix of worry and excitement, but with your "boy best friend" by your side, you know you can handle it. Together, you and Ace have the important responsibility of preparing the feast for this special occasion.

(Time skips to the next day)

You find yourself seated at the grand dining table, surrounded by members of the royal family and the king's honored guests.

The atmosphere is lively and festive, with conversation buzzing throughout the hall.

At your side, Ace stands quietly, his usual calm and composed demeanor concealing any thoughts or feelings he may have. He remains silent, arms folded behind his back, scanning the room with a watchful gaze that flickers from one guest to the next. He gives you a sidelong glance, his eyes meeting yours for a brief moment before returning to surveying the dining hall.

Ace stands tall and poised, the black uniform he wore for special occasions emphasizing his lean frame and broad shoulders.

His face is calm and smooth, betraying no hint of what he might be thinking.

His eyes sweep over the room once more, noting the various guests and their interactions.

Every once and a while he looks back at you to make sure you're safe and in his possession.
