"Prince Hugo of Fedora… Welcome to Gothia." 

Syrus announced as he held out his hand for Hugo. Hugo who closely examined him gave a slight nod and shook his hand.

"I felt the sincerity through the letter and couldn't reject the invitation." Replied Hugo, His gaze brushed over to Annabelle who was looking at him with her big round eyes, 

"Princess," HE said as if trying to confirm it, 

"Oh! Yes, Welcome Your Highness." Annabelle, who had forgotten to greet him, suddenly held her dress and bowed a little. 

His gaze continued to scan Annabelle and after a few seconds, he nodded to himself as if he had evaluated something in his mind that he had been thinking about for a long time. 

Syrus cautiously followed his gaze and examined Hugo before he glanced at Annabelle. There was nothing wrong with her so why did he act like that?
