Just as Stila's afternoon studies were winding down, Allie received a call from the Muscle Special Squadron. Apparently they're having their second "Save Our Country's Peril" meeting since they came back from the mountains.

Ally's brewed tea is delicious.

Maximilian smiled darkly as he held a delicate white porcelain cup. Allie thought, "Cup chubby," but had mixed feelings when she remembered that she'd been told the exact same line in the past nine times in her life, except for her name.

<I really wish they'd stop bringing out Maximilian until the 9th time...

For example, your favorite food, the way you tilt your head in distress, the flowing beauty of the letters you spell, the way the little finger of the hand holding the cup stands up a bit.

Every time she saw it, Allie would stare at her current Maximilian. Don't worry, Maximilian, who was a beautiful young man in white, is nowhere to be found.

"Hey, it's Ally. You're staring at me with such a hot stare.

No, I'm not.

Allie let out a deep breath.

It really pisses me off that the Four Heavenly Kings are looking at us with smiling eyes while we are just reaffirming the difference between us and Maximilian from the past nine times and regaining our normalcy.

Surprisingly, the four Heavenly Kings properly had the same fiancé as the ninth time. Allie's friends, Marilyn and Carol, Carly and Linda - the daughters who lost their fiancée to Saint Mia and suffered the same tragic consequences as Duchess Alicia.

The four Heavenly Kings are looking at Maximilian and Allie as if they are thinking of their master who has no fiancé, "Why don't you guys go out with each other already? Allie went through them all.

<It's like a definitive difference in status, or a memory from a previous life, or something like that, and I simply hate it.

''Come on, Stila, I've prepared a lot of tasty treats for you. Just eat your fill.

"Hey, I love you, big brother!

It's a good idea to have a little bit of time to think about what you're going to do. Maximilian is delighted because when he calls Allie, he is automatically followed by Stila.

Allie looked around Maximilian's private parlor, which served as the meeting place. Truth be told, I didn't want to go into this room. I had been invited a few times when I was a duchess.

But even though it's the same room, all the furniture has been redesigned. Of course, that's because the delicate furniture shrieked and crashed at the current width and weight of the Muscle Special Squadron.

It's very helpful that there is no room for sentimentality. We need to replace the white porcelain cups as soon as possible. Given their grip, I think a copper pot with a handle would be fine.

<In the west wing full of men, there is a young maiden. One of the servants who sprinkles powder on me is supposed to be allowed, but for some reason he's treated like a big sister.... I just don't get it.

If I could make a new love, I would be able to forget Maximilian for the ninth time.
