The moment Sylphy woke up, she thought she was in a dream.
The bed was too luxurious.
The clothes worn by the people were too luxurious.
The room was too luxurious.
'I don't know the reason why I'm in such an amazingly luxurious place.' [3]
[Yo, good morning.]
One of them spoke.
The one with the dressings of a Knight, who seemed just a little bit older.
Then Sylphy opened her mouth.
For just a moment, he resembled Rudeus.
[My name is Luke. Luke Notos Greyrat. And yours is?]
His soft smiling face made one feel relieved.
Every noble girl had surrendered themselves to his childish smile.
While there were some who could resist, they found they could not speak.

It was his 'pride'.
[I am sorry, have I given you a reason to be afraid? Still, if you will allow me to, I would like to express my gratitude. You of the beautiful white-washed hair, I am truly thankful that you have saved my life.]
Sylphy wondered what in the world he meant by white-washed hair?
Who is this boy?
