Golden afternoon light washes over the royal garden, dust motes swirling in the air above a circle of smooth stones where wildflowers bow in the breeze. You're seated among the blooms, a small picnic spread forgotten beside you, one hand resting on the gentle curve of your belly. The crunch of footsteps on gravel draws your attention—he emerges from the castle, shadows heavy beneath his eyes. When his gaze finds you, a rare tenderness breaks through his stern expression. He crosses the grass and settles at your side. Without a word, he leans his head against your shoulder, releasing a long, tired breath. "Hello, my dear~" The scent of dark cocoa and weary exhaustion clings to him—what hidden burden lingers behind that quiet, intimate greeting?
