Thank you so much for your help. How can I thank you for your help?
I was left to stare in amazement at the grateful figure.
A woman in a dress with a guardian knight in tow.
Her calm and relaxed demeanor and her beautiful gestures are a sight to behold.
It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.
No. .......
I feel too noble and totally different from the level of my soul.
Wow, that's not the kind of person I'm allowed to talk to .......
It's not a good idea to go to the beach. You are a lifesaver.
I'm almost swooning at the words too grateful.
And somehow we have to get through this place without fail!
No. I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do as a court magician in Ardenfeld.
I'm going to be the most proper looking response I could think of.
I was desperate to get through the day without being rude, but I think I was able to behave in a manner that wouldn't embarrass me as a royal court magician.
"Onie-chan, that was so cool!
Even the little Crown Prince said that to me.
But Luke's later words made me regret my behavior to the hilt.
"You should have gotten something. There's no rule that says you can't get something from the palace mages.
I'm glad I got a thank you gift .......
I should have gotten a year's worth of delicious meat or something .......
I'm not going to be able to get it right.
I punched him in the shoulder because I was annoyed.
I wish you would have told me that first, you're so mean.
But there's a lot more to what I got.
They were all very complimentary of me defending the queen of my neighboring country.
You saved me. Thank you. That's what you did.
I was so happy to hear that from my favorite Letitia.
Leticia, you are really cool, aren't you? She's so cool, isn't she?
...... why do you think it's you and not me who did all that stuff together, really?
"Hmm? What did you say?
"It's nothing.
As usual, I didn't understand some of Luke's words.
But I have a job where I can use magic that I love, seniors who treat me well, and best friends.
I've been given so much.
I'm sure I would have been too greedy for more.
My only regret is that I didn't get to do the dance I practiced in the end.
It seems that it was impossible to resume the ball after such a big incident, and the Scarlet Rose Ball was cancelled as it was.
I'm glad I didn't embarrass Luke, though.
But I would have liked to have danced a little bit, since it was a good time to do so.
I was practicing in secret, and I was ready to surprise Luke.
I walked around the garden at night with some disappointment.
We were being questioned by the Royal Order of Knights as we were related to the incident.
We were completely late returning home, and it was now midnight.
There was no sign of people around and the palace was quiet as if it had fallen asleep.
It was as if we were the only people in the world.
We were alone in the large quiet garden.
Suddenly I had an idea and said, "Hey, hey, let's dance.
Hey, hey, do you want to dance?
What, out of the blue?
I thought there was something nice about dancing in the Great Garden at midnight in the middle of nowhere.
"............
I thought I'd be scolded for saying something stupid, but Luke was silent for a moment before he said it with a serious face.
But Luke was silent for a moment and then said with a serious look on his face, "It's okay.
"Sure. If you want to do it.
"Okay, it's done!
I run out onto the lawn and look back at Luke.
"Come on, come on!
You have no concept of mood or anything like that?
"Mood?
You don't. Sorry, I knew.
Luke smiles bitterly.
"I had hoped for more than this, but I guess I was wrong.
He sighed and then smiled.
'Let's do it,'
A waltz just the two of us, dancing hand in hand, facing each other.
The steps we practiced last night, and then
"That's getting better,
My sapphire blue eyes shake and I squint.
It's so frustrating that Luke keeps holding my hand.
I stand next to him and say, 'I'm not going to lose! I can compete with them.
I want to be that way, even if it's just a little bit.
Waltz in the garden at night when no one knows.
Overhead, the golden moon was shining.
