She asks for his name, and gives her own: Nokana Hime (voiced by Kitou Akari).
If hell keep her secret, shell be his friend.
Ten years later, Hime has been as good as her word.
She and her gramps have been Satous neighbors for that time, making her and Satou childhood friends.
Now in high school, his feelings for her are starting to run deeper.
Satou thinks he has the perfect opportunity to confess when Hime invites him to the summer festival.
They have a grand time together, but thats nothing new; theyre old friends after all.
Satou doesnt want to accept this; its too sudden.
She tells him shes going back to her world to get married.
As she turns to enter the pillar, Satou sees her shed a tear.
From the moment he met her a decade ago, he felt like he needed to protect her.
Of course, the no-name Prince may be a prince, but he isntherprince.
Thats Satou, whom she rushes to and kisses.
With a single determined slash, Satou manages to eliminate the monster, only to pass out.
He wakes up in bed with Hime beside him, telling him theyre in their wedding chamber.
We learn this will have political consequences, but whatever!
I loved Himes mischievous smile when she saysSorry!
Yes, hell have to defeat monsters, but he seems to have an innate affinity for that.
He never forgot her childhood promise to marry when they grew up, after all.
Then the ED visuals consist entirely of the camera lovingly gliding across these four scantily-clad women bearing come-hither looks.
The title isTalesof Wedding Rings, so it looks like Satou wontjustbe marrying Hime.
So far this was a simple tale, told well, but its about to get alotmore complicated!
