He puts the tiara on my head and my mind feels fuzzy. I'm absentmidely flooded with the feelings of being queen.

Lilly "My, if I can keep having such a lovely dream, then maybe being queen wouldn't be so bad."

Harold "Queeb Lilly, I have something to talk to you about."

Harold continues with his serious tone of voice, which is the complete opposite of the way I'm feeling

Harold "In order to rule this world and this kingdom, you must chose a partner."

Lilly "Okay..."

Even though I know it's a dream, Harold's serious expression lures me into the conversation unconsciously.

Harold "By linking with your partner, you can obtain your true powers for the firsr time. So I would like it if you would search for a partner who is compatible with you."

Lilly "O-Okay."

I'm honesty shocked this unexpected development.

Lilly (This dream sure is giving me a lot of options...) "Do I have to decide right now?"

Harold "No, not right away."

Lilly "I see..." (I guess that's okay then. ..?)

We sink into silence. Harold is not the one to break that silence though.

Leonhardt "Is the ceremony already over?"

Harold "Yes, but..."

Before Harold can go on, Leonthardt turns and leaves the hall first.

Lilly (Now that I think about it...I still haven't thanked him)

I step off the platform, taking care to not step on my dress. I follow Leothardt and jump out onto the corridor. As I see Leohardt turn the corner in the hall, I call out to him.

Lilly "Leo...Leohardt!"

When Leohardt sees me, his eyes shoot open. Then he stops, stiffly.

Lilly "I never thanked you...Thank you for rescuing me."

Leohardt "You chased after me...just to say that?"

Lilly "Yes. I want to return your kindness, but not in a dream."

Leohardt "A dream...?"

Leohardt raises an eyebrow. I feel his gaze shifting behind me.

Leohardt "Luca...?"
