"Why are you crying?" Ruby lifted Leland's chin and wiped away his tears. "Are they making you uncomfortable?"
The emotional colors in his heart overlapped because he felt many emotions at the same time. However, the color representing happiness dominated them all, allowing Ruby to breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Leland wasn't feeling sad at this time.
"I ... I don't know." Leland tried to wipe his eyes, but his tears kept flowing like a river.
When his eyes turned red, Ruby held his hands and said softly. "Your heart is full of happiness right now, and that's all you need to know."
Ruby wiped away Leland's tears with a handkerchief. "Straighten your back. Your people are watching you, Your Highness."
Leland felt like a weight had been placed on his shoulders after hearing his new title. However, he knew Ruby would always be behind him, so he became less nervous.
