"These are..."
Leon's heart skipped a beat as he peered into the contents of the black box in his hand.
Yet, despite the surge of emotion, he swiftly composed himself and shut the lid.
Taking a shallow breath to steady his still-racing heartbeat, Leon shifted his gaze to Celine standing before him, offering a gentle smile.
"Thank you for bringing this to me, Celine," Leon expressed with gratitude.
"Um! You're welcome, Your Majesty. But I must apologize for momentarily forgetting about it," Celine replied, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"That's quite alright. What matters is that the box is now in my hand, correct?" Leon responded nonchalantly, offering reassurance.
"Um..." Celine nodded happily, then lowered her head in a respectful bow towards Leon. "In that case, Your Majesty Leon, may I request permission to take my leave?"
"Of course," Leon replied lightly, no longer detaining her.
