Music Recommendation: Blooming Truth- Byun Sang Hoo

Emily and Aiden stared at the Storm Kingdom’s prince, wondering if he was being serious, as it was evident that he wasn’t here by official invitation but had taken the liberty to invite himself in. Aiden tried to understand the situation by asking,
"Not to be rude, Prince Raylen, but from whom did you receive the letter?"
"Queen Maya," Prince Raylen answered, and then he remarked, "I must say, the palace seems quieter than the last time I came to visit."
Not a moment later, they heard the sound of another pair of footsteps echoing through the halls and corridors before Dante came into sight. Prince Raylen turned towards him and offered a polite bow, greeting him,
"Good evening, Prince Dante. Pardon me for arriving at such a late hour. Also, I want to offer my deepest condolences for the loss of your mother, the news of which has reached me."
"Evening, Prince Raylen," Dante greeted, his eyes subtly narrowing as he looked at the prince before him.
Like the rest of his family members, Dante wasn’t too keen about Prince Raylen’s presence in the palace. But unlike his siblings, he had already been informed earlier in the week that they would be hosting Prince Raylen until he finished his work, and Queen Maya had been happy enough to accommodate him with the hopes of building a good relationship with the Storm Kingdom.
"Aiden," Dante called out to his brother, who stood on the other side of the corridor. "Have Norrix prepare a suitable room for Prince Raylen and ensure he has everything he needs."
"That is very kind of you, Prince Dante," Prince Raylen replied, and as he continued to smile politely, his keen eyes had already noticed the cursed prince’s red irises.
