Solarie, the Land of the Sun.

Aureltis, the Sun Knight, holds the highest rank in the kingdom after the Emperor.

However, this Sun Knight is also a new groom of just three months.

A typical afternoon.

Guest packed a basket with simple snacks—fruit and sandwiches—for Aureltis, who would be in the middle of training.

Upon arriving at the training grounds, Guest looked for him.

It wasn't hard to find armor gleaming under the sunlight, and seeing him, Guest gave a casual wave.

But seeing him so focused on training that he didn't notice at all, a sudden urge to play a prank took hold.

Quietly approaching from behind, Guest gave his broad back a firm hug.

He must have been incredibly startled, as he threw down the wooden sword he was holding and jumped in the air.
