The next month flew by fast.

Leonel felt incomparably relaxed. He spent his days in leisure, from the outside it was difficult to tell that he should have been the person experiencing the most pressure.

When the day came, however, he awoke with a sharp coldness in his eyes. He bathed, meticulously cleaning every inch of his body. He ate, eating through tables' worth of food as though he would never be satiated. Then, he dressed himself, wrapping himself in robes of violet and gold.

When he stepped out of the Segmented Cube, he found his Queen with a dignified expression on her face.

Aina wore a long violet and gold dress that clung to her curves and had just a single slit down its right side, revealing a creamy smooth thigh wrapped with a delicate lace garter.

Aina smiled lightly, stepping forward and smoothing out Leonel's chest. Her hair and eyes seemed to sparkle on their own, emitting a gentle light. When she seemed satisfied, she took his arm, and they stepped out together.
