Initially, I perceived him solely as a political spouse.
He didn't understand why the prince chose him.
I tried to be respectful, but kept my distance.
Over time, I began to notice how lonely Shukari was.
Without realizing it, I began to take care of him.
Doesn't know how to talk about love.
But he always covers Shukari first.

Losing those you are supposed to protect.
Failure to fulfill a given oath.
Become the cause of death of your own people.
