Minato's POV. Dahlia Education Center. 8:00 AM.

Minato: *yawn*

Juliet: Oh, good morning, Minato.

I was passing by at the lobby, wearing my school uniform. I saw Juliet and greeted me.

Minato: Oh. Morning.

Juliet: By the way, we forgot to ask this. How's your visit to Char's castle?

Minato: It's wonderful. Well, I got to talk with the King and......yeah, we have another problem.

Juliet: Problem?

Minato: Yeah. Actually, that problem, involves all of the nobility of the West.

Juliet: The entire nobility!?

Minato: It's really complicated.

Minato: Juliet, I didn't know if this thought ever crossed to your mind.

Minato: What will happen if Char, who is the only heir to the Westian Throne, married me, who is the heir to the Imperial Throne of Touwa?

Juliet went silent to this thought.

Juliet: I......don't know. Maybe the entire West will be shaken to it's very core.

Minato: Yes. My marriage with Char, will shake the very foundations of the West. King Charles, even knowing that fact, he chose to let her daughter be married to me, through the arrange marriage.

Minato: The thing is, even though we are already bounded by an marriage, the only ones who knew the truth are my family, some of the most trustworthy servants of the Imperial Palace and King Westia.

Minato: Eventually, you, Romio, Hasuki and Aoi, knew it eventually.

Juliet: What are you going to do?

Minato: What am I going to do.........?

I closed my eyes, thought back to the things that happened during the past year until now. I took a deep breath, opened my eyes and I smiled as I already formed my resolve, from the very beginning.

Making me remember the very first promise I made, with Char.

Minato: It's simple really.

Juliet: Hm?

Minato: Tonight, will be the night, where I will fulfill...........the promise I made to her.........back then.

She smiled as she tapped my back.

Juliet: I see. Go ahead. She's waiting for you outside.

Minato: I know. She wants me to see a certain place.

Juliet: Then go ahead. Don't make her wait, y'know.

Minato: Wait, isn't it strange?

Juliet: Hm? What is it?

Minato: As far as I know, Char is weak with mornings.

Juliet: Yeah.
