[The meeting with the king went well. Aether expected his father to be unconvinced about this idea, yet Elise endless charm and happy attitude quickly mellowed him down. With a sigh, he nodded and agreed to the ball. The orders for preparation were given out soon afterwards and both the prince and the princess thanked the king with bright smiles on their faces.
Now they are waiting in the garden. The many flowers that surround them are absolutely magical and the secluded area gives them enough privacy to talk freely and do whatever they want. Not many people ever come here, save for the gardeners who work in the morning.]
A secret place that only we know about... [Elise mutters, still in awe. Then she chuckles to herself. Aether can see how much she's enjoying every moment here, in the castle. It's good to see her so happy.
Before the prince gets to say anything else, Childe and Luke arrive and join them. Aether also looks surprised when Luke takes the princess' hand and places a kiss to it. They've grown so close to one another in such a short period of time. Elise's face is bright red, but she's beaming, eyes brimming with fondness.
For the moment Aether is completely mesmerized by the happiness of the couple in front of him, before he blinks and finally notices Childe's look. He's asking for permission to...?
Oh.
The prince blushes, his gaze dropping to the side as he slowly offers his hand. He doesn't have to worry about anything here, a kiss on the hand is not a really big deal either, but at the same time he's not used to being affectionate when other people can see it. Not too mention... His gaze quickly falls on Luke, before he averts it again. His face grows even darker red.
How will he ever apologize to Luke for what happened in the morning?]
