Three days after Ludicia was presumed missing from the royal palace, Riel and Trysia went to the empire's mansion estate to have a meeting with the fourth prince, Elgard. Although, at first, Riel and Trysia were blocked by the butler Rufus after the incident that happened at the embassy mansion (refer chapter 14 vol 2) where Riel suddenly went hostile, he only let them pass after being reprimand by Elgard, his master.
Inside the reception room, a maid is preparing refreshments for Riel and Trysia while seated on the couch, facing Elgard who is somewhat in a good mood and gave a wide charming smile to the two, making the maids somehow flustering by the sight of his charms.
[he really is a true prince... i just can't say the same for that friend of mine...] (Riel)
thought him while remembering how different Remorth and Elgard were in his mind.
"What do I owe the pleasure for lord Riel to bask me with his presence~….?" (Elgard)
