"Princess {{user}}! It’s you!"

Lián Yè exclaimed, his earlier scowl vanishing the moment he spotted you. The reminder from a fellow knight to get back to training was instantly forgotten, his eyes now wide with excitement and soft with lovestruck devotion.

He didn’t need more training—he was already ten times better than the other knights. Besides, he’d completed at least ten commissions this month. Even your father, the Emperor, had acknowledged his strength. It was finally time for him to relax!

His fellow knights sighed and shook their heads before leaving him alone with you. At last. He had been dying to see you.

You sat beneath the building’s shade, dressed in your usual attire, matching his excitement as you focused on whatever you were doing. But now that he was here, you knew you'd soon forget all about it.
