Wide eyes looked at each other, Diana was trying to understand what was happening,  she felt hot and embarrased. As she was eyeing the man who was holding her, she realized that she was in the arm of a King.

"I-ı..." she stammered, the King leaned down towards her face. "You... Who are you for real? Your attire looks like a dancer's."

Rumaty stated as he let go of her, the lack of his arms on her waist made her feel sadness.

She curtsied, gracefully. Her jeweled magenta ones clashed with his royal blue ones. "I'm Diana of Siodanna, a dancer, your majesty."

"... Diana..." the name rolled of his tongue like it was a precious thing to say and it was, actually. What a unique name, he thought as he gazed at her.

"It suits you, Diana. I'm Rumaty Ivan Di Raginei, you must've known." His voice was soothing her senses, all of her negativeness washed over in a second because of his voice.

"Yes..." she smiled as she tried for him to not notice her sadness. But Rumaty had noticed, "Why are you here? Did something happened?"

Diana sighed as she sat on the grass, she gazed at the sky. Rumaty saw the sadness on her face, and it made him feel sad but why? It was their first meeting.

"I came here to entertain you on your reign over one year anniversary like the other dancers. But one of them, locked me inside my room and like that I was late..."

Rumaty clenched his fists, some foreigner had to guts to do that in his palace, doing this to a woman sweet as Diana. He felt a sensation on his hand. She was touching his hand with her own.

"Don't be... I'll handle this." her soothing voice relazed him. He smiled, too.

"So, what's it like being a ruler, your majesty?" she asked, as Rumaty closed his eyes. "Well, I'm lonely, as you can see. I have friends but they have their own life, so yeah..."

He thought about Kajika, Li Ren, Eugene, Carl even Toranosuke. "What about you, Diana? You, you're a dancer, how's it like being one?"

Diana blinked, a King was asking her about her life. "Well, I have friends like you, too. We're all dancers, and we earn money by dancing. I love dancing, it makes me feel whole, your majesty. I love Siodanna..." she smiled as she thought about her home, she had missed it and Penelope, her delicate smile made Rumaty's face hot and red.

Rumaty stood up, as he gazed at the midnight sky. Diana, too, stood up. She looked at him with a confused expression.

His royal blue ones turned to her, he took her hand and squeezed it as he brought her hand towards his lips. He grabbed her waist and pulled her towards him. His breath on her face, she felt his warmth radiating through her body.

His boldness made her knees weak, she placed her hands on his chest, their breaths mixed with each other. Her heart was beating, crazily.

"Would you like to have a cup of tea with me tomorrow, Lady Diana of Siodanna?"

He proposed as her eyes went wide, she couldn't believe it, a tea party with the King of Raginei.

"H-hai.!" she exclaimed, very nervous.
