"His Highness the prince… could you be referring to Shoutarou Rinura?" Seiji inquired.
"That's not him. However, His Highness stated that you were highly likely to mention this name," the brown-haired guard responded. "His Highness told us to welcome you into the palace when you arrive. Please follow me."
Seiji looked at the palace guard.
"I would like to ask your name, as well as the name of the person next to you."
"Eh? Why's that?"
"Because I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
The brown-haired guard revealed a confused expression. He exchanged glances with the other guard.
"Neither of us remember ever meeting you before, sir. You must have mistaken me for another person."
"You truly don't remember ever seeing me before?" Seiji asked another question.
"Indeed, I've never seen you before… Please don't pay any attention to us. His Highness is still waiting for us. Please follow me into the palace."
