Just then, the doors open, revealing Nalan, followed by Cirdan stepping out from behind her.
"Your Highness!" Cirdan exclaims, a wide grin spreading across his face.
He charges into the room, arms spread wide like a bird in mid-flight. Yetsune's breath catches as Cirdan wraps the Noble Consort in a tight embrace. Before the moment can linger, Attendant Nan steps in, swiftly pulling him away from her mistress.
She holds one arm in front of the Noble Consort, the other extended to maintain distance. "Please, behave yourself. You are no longer a little prince," Attendant Nan scolds.
The Noble Consort chuckles softly, amused by Cirdan's childlike happiness. It's been many years since he last set foot in the Moon Palace or saw her privately.
