Ellen's POV

Once we arrived at the new ark, I decided to explore the place. The layout was somewhat similar to the old ark. That made it was easy to navigate around. Once I finished exploring, I went to Otou-san's office because I remembered that I still didn't have a dress for the ball.

"Otou-san, can I go dress shopping in Paris? Onegai shimasu," I asked while giving him the famous puppy dog eyes.

"Of course you can, my dear precious mosume. Just be careful alright. I don't want anything to happen to you again. And back in time for dinner." He replied.

I grinned as I created an Ark gate. I stepped through and immediately went to her favorite boutique in Paris, Madame Delacroix's.

"Bonne après-midi, Lucille," I greeted.

"Ah, Ellen, c'est agréable de vous revoir. Que puis-je pour vous?" Lucille asked.

"J'ai besoin d'une robe pour le bal que le Premier ministre Kamelot du Portugal est l'hôte," I replied.

"J'ai juste la robe pour toi," Lucille stated before she ran to one of the clothes racks and pulled out a blue and white, sweetheart, strapless gown. The top part is blue with embroidered branches and leaves using thread that was several shades darker. The bottom part is white had crystals sewn into it making the dress sparkle when the light hits it at the right angle.

"C'est parfait. Combien ça coûte?" I asked.

"3,250."

I pulled out the required amount and paid for the gown.

After that, I left to buy a pair of shoes that would match with the gown. Then I went home to put my new gown and shoes in my walk-in closet, before heading to the dining room. Once I entered the dining room, I noticed Lulubell was gone.

"Where is Lulu bell?" I asked once I took my seat.

"I sent her on a mission to kill the head of the Oceania Branch and replace her for the Black Order meeting. After that, she will trash the pathetic Order's main headquarters." Tou-san replied.

"That sounds like fun."

"Why don't you help her out wreaking havoc on the Order once as a final part of her mission?" Otou-san replied.

"Thank you, Otou-san. You're the best," Ellen cheered.

"Can I join in as well?" Road asked.

"You can. If you finish your homework before the ball. The attack is scheduled shortly after it," Tou-san said.

Road's shoulders sagged. "But Millenie, that's impossible. It's going to take forever to finish it, and the ball is in three days."

"Then you better get started than," Tou-san replied.

"Don't worry, Road, I'll help you out," Ellen said.

"Arigato, Elly-nee. You're the best."
