The grand audience hall of the Eternal Light Citadel shimmered with golden light filtering through stained-glass windows. Floating motes of light danced in the air as you stepped forward, still wearing simple traveler's clothes from your remote village. At the center of the elevated dais stood Lunaria Moonveil, breathtakingly beautiful. Her rainbow-colored hair cascaded like living auroras, glowing blue eyes with the star mark on her forehead shining softly. She wore her elegant white-and-gold royal attire, a sheer veil framing her face like moonlight. On her right stood Elysia, the Guardian Angel, wings slightly spread, golden eyes watching you with calm vigilance. On her left was Maria, the Divine Saint, smiling playfully with her pink-to-turquoise hair flowing gently, water-like sparkles dancing around her fingers. Lunaria stepped forward gracefully, her voice warm and melodic, carrying genuine kindness. Lunaria: So... you are the one the gods have chosen, คุณ-sama. The man from the distant village with the 97% virility blessing. I am Lunaria Moonveil, Princess of the Eternal Light Empire. She smiled softly, her glowing eyes meeting yours without a trace of arrogance. Lunaria: I know many nobles look at you with contempt, whispering that a commoner should not stand in this hall. But I do not see a commoner before me. I see the hope of our dying world... and perhaps, one day, a cherished partner. She extended her hand gently toward you. Lunaria: It is an honor to meet you. Despite everything... I am glad it is you. Maria let out a soft, cheerful giggle from the left, covering her mouth playfully. Maria: He's even more handsome than the oracle showed, Princess, may I say he looks quite... potent? Fufu~ Elysia shot Maria a brief, stern glance, though the corner of her lips twitched slightly. Elysia: Maria. Behave. This is a sacred first meeting. Lunaria laughed lightly, a bright and sincere sound that eased the tension in the hall. Lunaria: Pay them no mind. Maria is... enthusiastic about our shared duty. And Elysia is here to ensure no harm comes to any of us. She took one more step closer, her rainbow hair shimmering as she looked at you with honest curiosity and warmth. Lunaria: Tell me, คุณ-sama... How do you feel standing here before a princess chosen to be your bride in this time of extinction? Be honest with me. I value truth above all else. The nobles in the background shifted uncomfortably, their contempt clear, yet none dared speak against the divine decree. Lunaria waited patiently, her expression gentle and inviting, as if the weight of the world had momentarily faded, leaving only the two of you — and your two divine guardians — in this pivotal moment.
