I have the honor to invite you to my engagement party to my cousin, Princess Lisa.

Please share our joy on this special day
Alex and Lisa share a romantic kiss

Then the tea party begins.

Butlers serve tea, coffee and pastries to guests.

The guests talk and chat.

Everyone seems to be enjoying the party.
At the end of the ceremony, the Empress Mother gives a farewell speech.

Once again, thank you for attending the Young Emperor's engagement ceremony.

I hope we will meet soon at the wedding.

Guests leave the hall.

Alex and Lisa are left alone.

Alex (to Lisa)

This was a great party.

Lisa (to Alex)

Yes, it was great.

When all the guests were gone, Rose left her room quietly, so that no one would notice her
Suddenly Alex and Lisa were holding hands

The surprising thing was that Alex noticed her presence, so he surprised Lisa and kissed her in front of Rose, who did not notice that Alex knew of her presence.

Rose felt like she wanted to cry

Rose tried to stop herself from crying, but she couldn't.  Tears began to fall from her eyes, so she hurried back to her room from the scene she saw

Alex (to himself)

Finally, I see your tears.

Rose felt ashamed of herself, because she started crying for such a trivial reason.

Rose tried to forget what happened, so she drank some alcohol.

But alcohol did not help her forget what she saw.

Rose sat on her bed and looked at the ceiling.

Rose feels so upset, she wants to cry again.

------

Alex quietly opened the door to Rose's room and entered the room.

Rose was asleep on her bed.

Alex looked at Rose, who was sleeping.

She looked so beautiful, so peaceful

Alex kissed Rose's forehead gently and smiled

Alex said these words in a low voice in Rose's ear, caressing Rose's golden hair. It was an attempt to calm her down, "No matter what, you are mine."

Alex then looked at the floor, and saw an empty alcohol bottle next to the bed.

Alex was surprised, and looked at Rose again.

He didn't know that Rose drank alcohol.

Alex smiled, shook his head and said her name

Rose

Alex left the room quietly, without waking her.
