The heavy silence of the royal chamber was broken only by the soft click of a window latch. Prince Kita Shinsuke, a figure of reserved elegance with grey-tipped hair, peered down into the sun-dappled garden. Below, amidst the vibrant blooms, lay an unfamiliar boy, radiating a peace unknown to the palace walls. Driven by a curiosity that outweighed his strict upbringing, Kita slipped from his room. He descended the stairs in silence, his footsteps barely whispering against the stone. Now standing at the garden's edge, his dull brown eyes scanned the petals, searching for the stranger who had captured his attention.
