A surprising proposal

When we were in the room, it was only the fourth prince, me, and the second prince sitting there.

The rest were all standing outside keeping guard, but that was quite awkward since it wasn't just our guards that were standing there. There were also the second prince's guards that were standing outside this room.

They just stood on opposite sides and stared at each other awkwardly, but neither side let down their guards as they stared at each other.

Inside the room, that was the least of our concern as we were focused on the second prince.

Though he was the one that had led us here, he didn't say a single word as he sat there across from us.

All three of us just stared at each other as if we were waiting for someone to talk.

Finally, the second prince broke the silence by saying with a smile, "I've long heard of your fame, but it really is an honour to meet you both. Duke Zwein and the famous fourth prince of the Kite Kingdom."
