Your father and mother are called out by an acquaintance, the Counts, who move right to the window to watch you have a soothing conversation.

Maybe it's because it's been a long time since we've had a ball, or maybe it's a little too much power on our shoulders.

Take one deep breath and stare at the distance and you can see His Highness dancing.

At that time, I hear a footsteps of tricks, and I feel signs that someone is approaching me.

"How about a song if you don't mind?"

Looking back at that voice.

"Dear Theodore! Well, you look different."

"I'm a Marquis man, too. It's a decent place to be in this kind of place."

There stood Master Theodore in his dress.

The silver hair tied with a blue ribbon seems to shine in the light of the chandelier.

The figure reminds me of your son, who made a breakaway, as if he had jumped out of a picture book.

And above all, a smile and standing concealed of the usual roughness.

It completely singles out the gaze of the women around it.

"So what? Even if you're here, you're out of time.

Besides, you're gonna have to dance with someone, and why don't you dance with me?

"Heh, right. Thank you very much."

Put your own hand on the offered hand, move to the dance floor and start dancing with Master Theodore.

Then again surprisingly, it's very easy to dance.

"You're good."

"Surprised? You've been making fun of me since I was a little girl.

Besides, they say loud enough that you can't shut up around them to do whatever you want.

I don't like that. "

"That sounds very Theodore."

"No, that dress. You look great."

"Thank you"

"There's something about Louis."

Your Highness was troubled? I wonder what that means.

On my strange face, Master Theodore looks strange with me.

And one nod as I was convinced, "Ah," he turns to my ear as if to distance himself a little and tell a secret story.

"I designed it, Louis."

Huh?

For a moment I didn't know what Master Theodore was talking about, and while I was just doing a determined leg lift, it took time in my head to understand what was said.

Your Highness did the design?

This dress?

Huh?

As soon as twitching and that fact are sorted out in my head, my face stains bright red.

"Oh, no way..."

"You're gonna do really well. I think so too."

"Okay, really"

Master Theodore's face didn't look like he was lying. It must be His Royal Highness who really designed this dress because he looks sincerely strange and frightened.

"Ah, Miss Rachel, that face might not be good. Louis noticed me."

"Huh?"

"My face is bright red." Wow, that's amazing about me. "

Even if Master Theodore tells me to do something about it, the redness on his face just increases.

'Cause I can't believe His Highness thought about me and designed the dress. I just can't believe it.

Can this happen?

And while I was thinking about wandering around in my head, they were over the song at some point.

When Dear Theodore was taken to a window position with few of the original people, he was called out from behind like a hurry that he could not afford.

"Rachel!"

"Your Highness... Are you sure? Didn't you dance?

"I already danced with five people. So fine.

By the way, Theodore, what are you doing? "

Keep your distance so His Highness can clog up with Master Theodore.

Then Master Theodore points his lips like infidelity rots.

'Cause I didn't do anything.

"Then why is Rachel's face so red?"

"... is it your fault?

Then His Highness lowered his brow worryingly and turned back to me.

"Rachel, what's going on?"

"Well, actually..."

I can't hide any joy in the fact that I'm the one making this face look like I'm the one who seems worried that His Highness can't afford it.

When I turned my face slightly downwards to hide the reddish cheeks and opened my mouth.

"Your Highness!"

Anna slowly walked in the white dress with her bright voice.

Since they came from the dance floor with their hands around Ernesto's arm next door, I guess they were dancing together earlier.

"Your Highness, I am so sorry to be talking to you.

The first dance earlier was so great.

Viscount Julion, we're out of time. "

Ernesto expresses his deep gratitude to His Highness and to Lady Theodore. And bow your head the same way even towards me. In contrast, His Royal Highness only nodded, frowning.

Anna next door is smiling with Nico, staring only at Her Royal Highness, as if it were out of the sight of others, etc.

"Then we're done."

Ernesto must have noticed the grump in His Highness's smile.

When you make your face squeeze hard, you try to change direction by calling out to us. Then Mr. Anna came before His Highness with her hands off the arms of Sulri and Ernesto.

And a very graceful and beautiful thank you.

"Your Highness, I am also a debutant today."

Ernesto is appalled by Anna's behavior and speaks out to blame "Miss Carroll" in a whisper. But Anna at the time smiled as if she expected something from His Highness with Nico as if she could not hear at all.

But His Highness, who was called out, glanced at the Anna with cold eyes, but as if he had not heard, he turned again towards me and Lady Theodore.

"Um, Your Highness?

Anna says she doesn't believe in His Highness's actions, but Her Highness doesn't respond.

Watching how Harrah, His Highness and Anna are doing, the neighbor, Lady Theodore, puts one hand on her forehead and sighs haha loud.

"Come on, Rachel. It's noisy here, so let's get on with it."

His Highness smiles gently at me, holding my hips, trying to walk out in a different direction from where Anna and the others are.

… Is it okay?

Looking back in a chill, Anna asked small as she was in a hurry, "Will Your Highness dance with me?"

Then the expression disappears softly from His Highness next door.

And when you turn around with a cold grin.

"Why do I need to dance with you?"

and only opened his mouth.

The voice is pregnant with a bottom-cold cold, and even me next door seems to freeze my spine.

Ernesto behind Mr. Anna is clearly pale.

But don't even worry about Anna.

"I heard you dance with a debutant..."

"That's why it's up to me to decide whether or not to dance with you.

Your father is Baron Carroll. "

"Yes."

"Let's tell him it was a quick debut"

Anna opened her eyes to His Highness's words and stared at His Highness as if to see something incredible and stood blindly.

His Royal Highness, against him, began walking in solidarity with me, "Come on, let's go".

"… why?"

Only Anna's little grunting voice from behind plundered my ear.
