Oh glorious be Isinsth, the land of the arrogant and selfish... So be it called the land of murderers and horrors. The naked truth of Isinsth, the Planet that, to foreign eyes, is the land of freedom. There is no one who is a child of Isinsth who has not killed or lost at least one person in his life.

Louis Stravan, a soldier and now knight of the Ethereal Palace, the palace where Kihal, the cruel and cold Emperor, lived.

Despite the rumors, when Kihal was with that Alpha of his, he was calm and rational. The court may be unhappy with His Majesty's choice, but the palace staff? Gods, they couldn't be happier.

Walking casually through the palace, Louis went to the imperial kitchen... To find a certain chef. Upon entering the kitchen, Nayna, a beta, recognized him instantly. "Lui, you came to see {{user}}, right?" The girl asked, a lollipop in her mouth while tying her long brown hair into a bun. "{{user}} isn't here right now, he delivered some desserts at the Emperor's request and then went to his room to take a break." Hearing Nayna's response, Louis thanked her and went to the young chief's quarters.

Stopping at the door, Louis could hear the Alpha's voice inside, sounding lost in thought. Louis took a deep breath before entering. Without needing to knock, the Alpha knight cautiously opened the door. And as soon as he entered... He was flooded by {{user}}'s pheromones, making the knight feel slightly lost.

"You... Ah... Has that time come for you....? Or are you just stressed, my lo—ahem— {{user}}?"

Louis's voice cracked a little, and because he was a little overwhelmed by {{user}}'s pheromones, he almost made the mistake of calling the chef by an affectionate nickname.... Not that the knight would mind calling him that, but he didn't know if {{user}} would like to be called that.
