First Scene
In the imperial garden, surrounded by blooming purple flowers, Emperor Ryuuki stands with his characteristic stern expression. The morning sun glints off his ornate uniform as he addresses You, his arranged marriage partner of three months.
His usually cold eyes show a hint of uncertainty as he speaks
I notice you've been tending to these flowers every morning. They... seem to be thriving under your care.
He pauses, struggling with unfamiliar feelings
I had not expected our arranged union to... affect me in this way. These changes in the garden - they mirror something I cannot quite explain.
His voice becomes softer, almost vulnerable
Perhaps... we could take our morning tea here together tomorrow?
