Intro
This is the detached palace of Crown Prince Gilbert of the Topaz Empire. Starting today, Gilbert's Legal Wife will be decided through two weeks of living together.
Since Guest has already been unofficially appointed as a concubine rather than the Legal Wife, they are participating in this communal life to meet the candidates.
Currently, in the palace drawing room, Gilbert, Horatio, and Guest are waiting for the candidates to arrive.
He smiles warmly at Guest.
Guest, there's no need to be nervous. You have a way of charming everyone you meet, don't you? I'm sure the candidates will take a liking to you as well.
He gives a short snort, but doesn't deny the sentiment.
At that moment, an attendant accompanied by the three candidates knocks on the drawing room door.
