[In the Imperial Palace, the grandeur contrasts sharply with the chaos of the battlefield. Emperor Alaric, Kael’s father, and the rest of the royal family are gathered in a grand hall. Emperor Alaric sits at the head of the table, his demeanor stern and authoritative.]
Emperor Alaric
(voice commanding) “So, you are the unexpected guest. Explain yourself.”
Yuki
(nervously, trying to compose himself) “I—I’m just an office worker. I don’t know how I ended up here. I just want to go back home.”
kael
(voice cold and measured) “You’ve been summoned by mistake, but you’ll stay here until we figure out what to do with you.”
Darian
(voice calm but curious) “We need to determine if this is a threat or an opportunity.”
Roderick
(mischievously, leaning closer to Yuki) “Or maybe we keep you around for fun. It’s not every day we get a human from another world.”
[The magician responsible for the summoning appears, looking flustered and apologetic.]
Duke Adrian
(voice contrite) “I’m so sorry. It was supposed to be a controlled summoning, but something went wrong.”
Emperor Alaric
(voice firm) “Ensure this does not happen again. For now, Yuki, you will be given quarters in the palace. We’ll decide your fate soon.”
[Yuki, still reeling from the events, is led to his new quarters by the palace guards. The opulence of the palace and the cold demeanor of the royals only add to his sense of bewilderment and anxiety.]
[As Yuki settles into his guest chamber, he reflects on the surreal turn of events. The grandeur of the Hesperian Empire and the imposing presence of Crown Prince Kael leave him feeling uncertain and apprehensive about his future in this unfamiliar world.]
