After Story
Marius: Why did you ask me to come home so suddenly?
Intimate Interaction
You: (Our house is so much smaller than the royal palace, so I thought Marius might not be able to adjust to it.)
You: (I didn't expect that not only was he not fussy at all, he also made the house look so beautiful with his own hands.)
(if repeated)
You: (The decorations in the house are all set up by Marius himself.)
You: Though it was a long time ago, I still remember what you looked like when you wore a crown.
Marius: It looks like it left a deep impression on you...
Marius: I can't blame you. Every time you put it on me, you face contorted as if you were facing your greatest enemy.
You: That's because it's a pain to put it on you...
(if repeated)
You: (Even without the crown, Marius still looks aristocratic.)
You: That bracelet on your wrist... Is it the one I gave you before?
Marius: Yeah, I had it adjusted to a more suitable size. I went out just now to pick up this bracelet.
Marius: The bracelet comes in a pair, right? Do you still have the other one?
You: Of course! I took care to put it in my carry-on luggage.
Marius: Then you should also take it out and wear it. It's a symbol of our relationship.
You: Okay...
(if repeated)
Marius: To me, this pair of bracelets is a symbol of our relationship.
Come and try them...
You: Marius, come and try the wine I specially prepared for you!
Marius: Wine? Wine's pretty expensive right now, isn't it... Why did you buy wine all of a sudden?
You: Isn't today our first anniversary? You gave me a gift two days ago, so this is a gift in return.
Marius: Since this is your return gift, can I make a small request?
You: Certainly, what is it?
Marius: I want... you to feed me the wine, just like what you did at my birthday party last year.
You: (Last year's birthday party... Does that mean... mouth-to-mouth!?)
You: H—How could I do that!?
Marius: That's not fair, just now you said yes so readily... So you were lying to me.
You: But... Mouth-to-mouth... That's a bit too intimate, isn't it? I didn't expect something like this...
Marius: Huh? Actually... I was talking about using cups...
Marius: But if you thought of a better way, then we can give that a try as well.
You: Marius! You tricked me again!
Marius: Don't get mad, I was just teasing you. That being said, I do have a wish that needs your help to come true.
You: What's the wish... Please don't make fun of me anymore.
Marius: I wish that I could spend every day with you from now on.
You: W-What?
Marius: Although I used to be a Pharaoh that was seemingly revered by everyone, no one truly cared about me...
Marius: It's different now. As long as you're here, life seems to be full of endless possibilities and my days are never tedious.
You: Why do you always say such embarrassing things...
Marius: So... will you help grant this wish for me?
You: Alright, from now on, I will always be by your side.
