Lilly "L-Let me go...!"

Just as I escape from Silvio's arms, I accidentally knock something over.

Lilly "...!"

It crashes loudly to the ground and shortly after, the door to the room opens in a hurry.

Albert "Queen Lilly...Are you all right!?"

Lilly "Albert...!"

I feel relived to see a familiar face. I reflexively rush over to Albert.

Albert "Did something happen?"

Lilly "Silvio..."

Silvio "I guess I surprised her by coming into her room unannounced,  and then I did something bad even though she was in the middle of changing."

Albert "Is that so?"

Silvio gives a bold smile. Albert did not seem to doubt his lie.

Albert "Your dress is disarranged. Allow me to help."

Albert starts skillfully putting my disarrayed dress back in orders. Strangely, I do not dislike the feeling of it.

Lilly "Thank you..."

Albert "It was nothing."

Albert and I look at each other and he gives me a warm smile.

Albert "You really are pretty."

He puts the palm of his hand on my cheek.

Lilly "...!"

Albert "You look much more beautiful all dressed up likes this."

His airily sweet smile and voice draw near me. I know my cheeks are turning red. He moves his hand from my cheek to my hair.

Albert "Truly, everything is..."

Albert narrows his eyes...and kisses a lock of my hair.
