The plain and unnoticed me is no more

"Frederick, what a way to talk in a place like this. And that attitude, don't you realize you're the second prince of this country? Revoke your disrespectful remarks about her right now. And apologize."

Fred scolded His Highness Frederick as if he were a real Wilfred. I've never seen you two together, but as far as Aaron and Evan are concerned, I don't see much upset. So I was a little surprised that the two of you actually felt like this.

Indeed, in this case, someone would have had to blame His Highness Frederick for uttering words of contempt against the Marquis Lady of another country in a voice he could hear.

Aaron was a little embarrassed, but that didn't help him reflect on His Highness.

If the words of His Highness Frederick had been directed at me earlier, I would have ignored them, but I was angry to think they were the words I told Daria.

I've seen her, but she's not a freak.

As a child, he may have been thought to have changed due to his unusual obsession with poison, but he is the proud researcher of his neighbor Alford, who eventually led to the rescue of others, starting with antidotes and creating medicines that can now cure disease.

I'm proud to be related.

I will have to tell His Highness Frederick that his position is higher than yours.

Looking up at the upstairs seats, His Majesty was greeted one after the other by the nobles present at the evening party, and he seemed to have no time to look at us.

Then the music that was quietly flowing like BGM stopped snapping and began to flow like elegant waltz instead.

Apparently, with the arrival of the real star at the venue, the dance time began.

The purpose of this evening's party is to find the princes' brides, but it is easy to understand, and the ladies are not lined up to be chosen by the prince or danced in turn. The basic rule is that girls usually enjoy evening parties and wait for a voice from the prince.

But they're not just waiting in silence. You'll see the gap, approach the prince you're looking for, and begin to appeal to yourself with your hands. It was my job to kick it off, but when I saw the situation, the ladies left without trying.

When the people who were watching around realized that the song had changed, they joined hands with their partner and began to move as they danced towards the center of the hall.

Thanks to us, no one is around.

His Highness Frederick, who was looking at me like he was licking me, glanced at me and begun apologizing.

"Sorry! That was entirely my fault. Though I didn't know it well, I got a real rumor and made you feel uncomfortable. I really don't suppose it's a rumor. No matter how I look, I don't see anything strange. Who the hell started calling this beautiful woman a freak? Miss Daria, will you forgive me? If you don't mind... I'd like to apply for the next dance."

When I was astonished at the speed of His Highness Frederick's transformation, His Highness misunderstood what he thought and asked him to dance.

This person is completely stunned...

Where did Sandra go all the way? Did your parting with her make your Highness crazy? You weren't supposed to be so conservative before...

Looking up at Fred next door with that in mind, he was very angry.

"No, if you apologize, show good faith. Then it sounds like I'm just apologizing for applying for a dance. If she wants to apply for a dance, she'll have to accept her apology. Don't you know that? Let's go, Daria."

I wanted to say the same thing, but Fred refused first. I left the scene without uttering a word and gently interpreted His Highness Frederick with a slightly flustered expression.

"Ha, normally, they weren't there, so I was alarmed. I'm sorry about what went wrong. I'm angry... That's right, let's dance. You don't have to know how to dance, just stay with me."

"Eh, ah...."

Fred pulled me a little hard, and the dance began to flow. He was very good at leading, and I was taking steps with him unconsciously.

It's been a really long time since I danced. Still, the motion that stuck for years moved my body without thinking anything.

Should I pretend to know nothing in this case? My lead is good, so my legs are moving on their own.

Your Majesty's Shadow Warrior must be able to do anything. I don't know what to say, but I'm better than Lord Frederick and Evan.

You're good at that.

"No, thanks to His Highness's lead. Fufufu...."

Instead of saying one song, we kept dancing the next as usual.

"It seems to go well with you. I've had so much fun dancing since I was a kid."

"Me too. It's so fun that I'm going to forget that time has passed. But aren't you going to change your dance partner like this? If you keep dancing with me, you'll think you've decided who you're dealing with.

"Ahh... but let's just have a little more fun like this."

Fred looked really happy and smiled at me many times.

This time alone, I felt that I was returning to my original Fred and Lana, not to the alternates, Lord Wilfred and Daria.

I forgot to act too much fun, and there was no nature and no laughter.

And as he swayed in the elegant music, he somehow felt his eyes blue and purple and his milk tea hair in front of him. Of course, this one is Fred, so it's only natural that I've seen anything for some reason, but that's not true, someone else....

That's when I was in that dream.

I've seen it a few times, standing in that place where I played with a boy with milk tea hair. There was a maze in front of me, and I looked back for the boy. Then there was a big building that had been blurry and didn't look good in my dreams until now...

"What's wrong? Are you tired?

"Eh...?

With Fred's voice, I suddenly returned to myself. Apparently, he had daydreams for just a moment while dancing.

"I would have been stunned for a moment now. If you're tired, let's take a break. It's crowded here, and there might be some of them in the seats we've reserved for you, so yes... you can go out on the terrace and hit the wind a little bit. This way."

Fred pulled me off to the terrace, avoiding the couples at the dance.
