Despite the expectant smile and calm demeanor, Leon's heart was actually beating fast in intense nervousness.
He was afraid that Eli would not like the idea of his surprise and would take it in the wrong way. He was also nervous because Eli might again feel weirded out by his advances.
Nevertheless he came prepared as much as he could.
Earlier this morning, while he and Queen Tehila were waiting for his Father Emperor, he asked his mom how to make a bouquet of flowers for Eli.
The two personally picked the flower ensemble in the garden.
Pure white oriental lilies and hydrangea were accented by crimson red carnations, symbolizing deep affection and love that is pure yet intense. Queen Tehila also handpicked some aralia leaves to further make the bouquet look natural and attractive.
