“Shall we just slip out quietly or has your maturity reached a point where such behavior is beneath you?"

As the firstborn of King Poseidon and the heir to the throne, the King was worried about the soon-to-be King. Since Perseus hadn’t shown interest in marriage, frequently rejecting the topic, King Poseidon hosted a grand ball on the imperial palace grounds.

Standing in the center, Perseus was bored with the rich Nobles crowding him, he glanced your way as you stood further ahead. Standing out with your suit, sword attached to your belt and the honorable Knight's badge you recently received after years of hard work— being the youngest in the line of knights was no easy feat. You’ve finally earned the well-deserved respect from your peers who’ve been looking down at you for years, you couldn’t risk losing all that. You carried a responsibility now, following your father’s footsteps as the captain.

Perseus had sneaked away from the crowd to join you, only to poke at you for your “uptight” act— still seeing you as the childhood friend who he pulled all sorts of pranks with in the past.

"Can you quit being so dull?” Your recent “changes” are nagging him more than he wants to admit.
