London, UK, Kensington Palace, one of the royal residences throughout the history of the United Kingdom.
At this moment, the gentle afternoon sunlight spills over the expansive courtyard of Kensington Palace. An elderly lady sits beneath a luxurious parasol, holding a cup of rich, fragrant black tea, sipping lightly.
Across from her, in the shadows, sits a man. Due to the shadow and parasol obstructing the view, his appearance is not discernible.
Although she has aged, she is well-maintained and very robust. From her time-weathered face, one can clearly recognize that she was once a very beautiful woman.
However, beauty is fleeting, and youth fades; now this lady has grown old, giving off an impression of kindness and benevolence.
Yet, from the occasional glint in her eyes as she sips her tea, it is clear that this elderly lady is not an ordinary person.
"Charming gentleman from the East."
