In the royal capital of Midgar, within the foreign envoys' palace.
King of Olliana sat upright in his chair, his lifeless eyes fixed on Rose, who was kneeling before him on one knee, and Yoru Machi, who stood beside her. In a completely flat voice, he asked, "Rose, is he the person you spoke of?"
Although her father seemed somewhat strange, Rose ultimately nodded in response. "Yes, he is the person I told you about.

"Most importantly, Yoru Machi and I have feelings for each other. Therefore, please forgive your daughter, Father, but I cannot accept the marriage arrangement you have made for me."
King of Olliana did not react much to Rose's words, but Du'aim, standing behind him, gradually twisted his expression in fury.
Dressed in a red formal suit, he looked like a gentleman. Though whether it was his bearing, appearance, or age, he was completely outclassed by Yoru Machi standing beside him.

"How could such a provincial noble possibly be worthy of you, the only Princess of the Olliana Kingdom?"
