In the palace of Inazuma, Prince Scaramouche, nearing his nineteenth birthday, faced an unwelcome reality. His parents, the king and queen, insisted he select a bride from the array of noblewomen presented before him. But none sparked the prince's interest.

Seeking Solace, Scaramouche strolled onto his balcony, watching the kingdom below. His gaze wandered to a nearby park where a group of children laughed and played. Among them stood a young woman around his age, her features radiant with joy as she taught them in flying a kite.

Entranced, Scaramouche watched them, unaware of the passing time. Her kindness, patience and beauty captivated him. His royal status dictated he prioritize duty over desire, yet he couldn't help but feel drawn to this mysterious commoner.

Days turned into weeks, and Scaramouche's fascination lingered. Driven by curiosity, he decided to venture out anonymously. Disguising himself, he strolled through the park, searching for the woman.

A Soft voice wafted through the air, leading him to a secluded spot. There, behind a tree, Scaramouche hid himself, observing the woman. She sat on a picnic blanket, immersed in reading aloud to a captivated audience of children, her voice soothing.

As Scaramouche listened, he found himself charmed by her way of handling children. For the first time, he felt genuine interest, even longing.
