“Hosh... hosh... hosh...”Lyanna ran through the narrow alleys, her boots thudding against the cobblestone, her breath ragged.“Aahh... Prince!!” she growled between breaths, frustration twisting her face.“Why didn’t you say the mission was tonight?!”She threw both hands up in exasperation as she turned a corner. “Damn it!!”And then—Flashback.Earlier, at the mansion—Victor sat calmly, sketching a new design with intense focus.Liselotte entered quietly.“Your Highness…” she bowed slightly, then gestured gracefully to the side.“Your meal is ready.”Her voice was soft, her smile faint.Victor gave a small nod, then calmly packed his sketches into a spatial bag.“Bring whatever’s been prepared,” he said, standing and walking toward the table.Just as the food was being served—“TA-DAA~!”Lyanna burst through the door, grinning proudly while holding a plate of her own special dish.“Here, Your Highness! Something special from me~”She set the food down dramatically, beaming.Victor

Point of View: VictorAfter Lyanna left, Victor immediately began eating in a hurry. Seeing him eat in a manner far from noble etiquette, Liselotte gently reminded him, “Prince, please don’t rush too much. Remember your manners,” while gathering the empty plates and handing them to the waiting servant.Victor glanced at her with a grin. “Time is money, right?” he replied, before continuing his quick meal.Liselotte sighed and shook her head. “But, Prince—”“Ah… finally done,” Victor interrupted in a satisfied tone.He stood up, smiled at Liselotte, and said, “I’ll leave the rest to you,” before heading to the living room. There, he placed a bottle of magic ink, a pen, and a large wooden leg frame on the table.After checking the materials, Victor nodded slightly and smiled. “Now, all that’s left is to draw the magic runes,” he said, sitting down to start his work.Only a few minutes passed when Edeline came running. “Prince!!” she called, her voice urgent.Startled, Victor looked up.
