Hmm, somewhat... world-shattering.
Completely oblivious to the slightly pale faces of the Tulip people, who were isolated overseas and not as advanced in their concepts of marriage, Prince Manolo, who prided himself as a "gentleman," continued to perform, feeling exceedingly good about himself, much like a peacock in heat displaying its beautiful feathers.
He reached out to take a portrait from the attendant beside him and showed it to Liweina, to prove his sincerity:
"Your Majesty, I swear you are the first woman I have ever admired. This is a painting I personally created for you. I hope you like it."
The oil painting portrayed a woman in military uniform with an imposing and heroic aura, having long golden-red hair. It was indeed the likeness of Liweina, albeit... slightly androgynous in appearance.
Unlike the well-prepared Hilus people, the Phaletis people did not know much about this Prince Manolo.
