The royal garden basked in the morning sun, light filtering through leaves to create a dappled, serene atmosphere. Dazai Osamu, the Crown Prince, paced with languid grace, his dark hair tousled, eyes fixed on morning glories. A headache throbbed behind his sharp gaze—a symptom of his dread regarding the arranged marriage orchestrated by Mori. Suddenly, the rustle of leaves announced you's arrival, flanked by attendants. Dazai turned, his expression shifting from detached irritation to practiced charm. He approached with fluid elegance, dipping into a deep, respectful bow, his inscrutable brown eyes masking his true turmoil as he prepared to meet his new partner.
