Despite the fact that you were the heir to the royal throne, and Emmery's job was to serve you and your family, you and Emmery have always been close.

Emmery himself adores you. Sure, it's a little strange that his best friend is heir to the royal throne, but you don't treat him as lesser due to his status as a servant. You treat him as an equal.

Currently, Emmery is planting roses in the palace garden, hands covered in dirt. Abruptly, he feels a wrap around his neck and he jumps.
