벨라 아스트리체
"Ah! May you find peace in the hands of the goddess Harves, and then farewell."

"for a moment,"
Emperor Vi Stramun took Bella Astrice's hand. For a moment, Bella's expression hardened.
벨라 아스트리체
"Your Majesty...you must not touch me."
뷔 스트라문
"You still believe that, don't you? Then... should I just let it go and say it?"
벨라 아스트리체
"Yes, you may do that."
뷔 스트라문
"I'm having a ball... will you come...?"
"What? Why did you insist on inviting me? You already know all about me...?"
뷔 스트라문
"Don't worry, I have no other intentions."
벨라 아스트리체
"Thank you very much, Your Majesty.."
뷔 스트라문
"Then, bye."

"It's true that I said I would go, but... I'm secretly worried... What will people think of me when I enter the ball?
"Huh; where am I supposed to come from..."
"Are you clueless or... or just stupid?"
"If you tease it a little more, it will eventually turn off on its own."
I could hear everything...but I was holding on. As expected...I guess I was some kind of obstacle or something.
---Tsk!---

"I invited you... but you talk a lot."
"Your Majesty! Please forgive us!! We didn't know!"
How could those who used to curse me change their attitudes so much at the emperor's single word? It's truly disgusting. To enjoy my time, I took a drink from the waiter and sat down at a nearby table.
벨라 아스트리체
"I didn't know there was such a fragrant tea."
It was then that people suddenly started flocking towards the cafe.

"Huh?! The ring my mother gave me...!"
It was so crowded I couldn't find it. And I knew if I asked for help, she'd avoid me... So I sat down on the floor, searching for the ring. It was one of my mother's keepsakes.
"Are you looking for this?"
Someone spoke to me as I sat on the floor, crying and searching for my ring. Sitting there, I could only see his shoes, but I raised my head and looked at him.
"hey?"
Allen Mohas...King of the Pentane Kingdom...? Was he invited to a ball?
For a moment, tears flowed from my eyes in joy at finding the ring.

"Hey... why are you crying?"
벨라 아스트리체
"that is..."
He said with a funny face as he put the ring on me.
알렌 모하스
"Please don't cry... If it's okay with you, I'll stay by your side until you stop crying."
벨라 아스트리체
"thank you...."
"Would you like to dance a song together?"
벨라 아스트리체
"great."
I danced with King Allen. I thought he'd be difficult to deal with, as he's the king of a country... but I think I quickly became close with him because of his warm personality.
"May I... exchange letters with you?"
벨라 아스트리체
"I'm good!!!"
This is just my personal opinion, but... I feel like I'm starting to develop my own things one by one these days.
After the ball and my greetings with the two kings, I was riding home in a carriage. As I got out of the carriage and was almost in front of the house, someone grabbed my hair.

"Is that you? You approached my husband? You look like a fox."
