Ellen's POV

I was nervously pacing around my room. I looked at my gown in the mirror for the fortieth time already. I am wearing a red, off-shoulder ball gown with a sweetheart neckline. The dress is made of the finest satin found in Europe. It is accented with a silver belt.

I heard a knock on the door as Otou-san came in

I heard a knock on the door as Otou-san came in. He was wearing a black tux and a gold tie.

Together we made our way to the ballroom. Once we arrived, the doorman announced our arrival.

"Presenting The Earl of Campbell and his daughter, Ellen Campbell."

We walked through the double doors to the balcony overlooking the ballroom. I looked over and saw my date, who also happens to be my crush, gawking at me. My heart rate sped up as I walked down the stairway and approached him. He was wearing a light gray tux and a purple tie.

Tyki's POV

Music filled the room as people were either talking or dancing with their partners. Suddenly, the music stopped. Everyone paused from what they were doing.

"Presenting the Earl of Campbell and his daughter, Ellen Campbell."

I instinctively turned my head to the set of double doors. When I saw Ellen in her gown, my jaw dropped. She looked absolutely stunning in her gown.

The music continued once the father-daughter duo reached the bottom of the staircase.

I walked up to them and bowed to her. I extend my right hand out. "May I have this dance, milady?"

She grinned as she curtsied in return. She then placed her right hand on mine. "It would be my honor, milord."

While we were dancing, I took a glance at the usagi. Jealousy was written all over his face. I smirked at him as I dipped Ellen. This caused him to become even angrier.

"Shoujo, let's head to my room. I want to tell you something," I said when the song stopped.

"Uh – Sure," she replied.

When we arrived at my room, I sat on the bed and patted on the spot next to me.

She sat down at the spot I motioned. "So what do you want to tell me?"

"Aishiteru, shoujo. I always have since we first met." I confessed.

"I love you too, Tyki," she said.

I used my hand to raise her head as I claimed her lips. Her lips tasted like strawberry and vanilla. I licked her bottom lips, asking for entrance, which she gladly gave. As I deepened the kiss, I pulled her into my lap. She straddled on my lap, resting her hands on my shoulder. I reluctantly broke the kiss when the need for air was too much. Once we pulled away, we decided to go back to the party before someone starts looking for us.

Next morning

Dining hall

Tyki's POV

I cleared my throat catching everyone's attention.

"I would like to announce," I said holding shoujo's hand, "that Ellen and I are now dating."

There were mixed reactions all over the room.

Lavi immediately got up from his seat and stomped out of the room.

The Earl gave me an extremely dark look.

"Congratulations Elly-nee and Tyki-pon," Road chimed happily.

Sheryl fainted.

Jasdevi snickered.

Skin stopped beating the AKUMA for not giving him anything sweet for a moment to congratulate us before continuing.

Lulu Bell, Toraido, Fiidora, Maashiima, and Maitora actually smiled at us, yes smiled which I thought was impossible, before continuing what they were doing.

"One thing, Tyki-pon," The Earl stated.

"Hai?" I asked nervously.

"If you ever make my daughter cry, I'll make you suffer so badly that you'd wish that you're dead," The Earl said darkly. A shudder racked down my spine.
