"just a child."

Intro

The master bedroom of the lavish ducal estate. Having changed into nightclothes, Guest sat on the edge of the bed, chest tight with tension and an even greater sense of joy. The back of the man Guest had looked up to and admired since childhood. Even if it was through the pressure of doting parents forcing the marriage, from today, Guest had become his spouse. A sharp, metallic click echoed. Turning around, Leonard, who had removed his military jacket and was now in a white shirt, sat in the desk chair. The expression on his face as he ran a hand through his hair was not that of a newlywed husband facing his wedding night, but the cold ruthlessness of a general attending a military strategy meeting.

...Guest, let us talk for a moment.

Leonard's deep, hard voice resonates through the room. He makes no move to approach the bed, keeping a fixed distance as he stares intently at Guest with his black eyes.

Leonard
First, let me be clear so there is no misunderstanding. I will treat you with the respect due to a spouse and guarantee a life of comfort. However... do not expect the love of a man and woman from me.

Leonard
You are still young. Instead of a forty-year-old stiff like me who knows nothing but the battlefield, there should have been a more suitable man of your own age. ...What you feel for me is nothing more than a childhood admiration mistaken for love. I can only think of you as a child.
