"I did suggest conducting an experiment, but I didn't mean for you to endanger yourselves in the process!" I exclaimed, deeply concerned by their disheveled appearance.
"G-g-good day, Princess Zinnia a-a-and Grand Duke Kazamir!" Erevna stuttered as he bowed down with exaggerated politeness. "I-It's a pleasure to meet the both of you together!"
"Erevna, stand up. You're making our guests feel uncomfortable," Duke Sebastian scolded.
Erevna promptly stood up, causing the three of us to flinch. "My apologies!" he exclaimed.
