Eliezer exchanged a quick glance with his knight as his lady approached, knowing that this was the first time that Hildebrand would be meeting the frequently-mentioned 'Moon Raven' in person. He instinctively returned her hug and muttered a rather awkward "Thank you," when she handed him the wrapped parcel. He proceeded to examine it as she commented on it, mainly because he was unsure of what to say next. When she mentioned that she had personalized it for him, he realized that he had probably not given her much to work with, considering that other than being the crown prince of Dainia, there did not seem to be much else to him as a person. Then again, it would appear that she could somehow point out aspects of him that he was not aware of himself.

"My lady, this is my trusted knight, Sir Hildebrand Ward," he began, introducing his knight to Raven.

Hildebrand then bowed to his prince's lady. "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Lady Omrea."

Eliezer nodded to the knight, signalling for him and the other guards to step away. As they complied, the prince turned back to Raven, internally struggling to see the woman he did not want to leave at the orphanage a few days back. All his life, he had no issue with convincing himself that he was no more, and wanted no more than what he was told he should be or have. Why then, was telling himself that he wanted to be with Raven currently so difficult? Was it because that deep down, after knowing the truth, he knew that this was not right? That was the one thing he had just only come to realize - he had to be persuaded into believing that his act was the truth, meaning that all this time, he never was putting on an act. Nothing could change the fact that she had initially desired to assassinate him, and it was wrong to love her. Regardless, he would attempt to pretend all was well, at least for today.

"Shall we have a seat, my lady?" He suggested, gesturing to the familiar pavilion.
