For Princess Lilyhaven Tamriel von Leese, her friend's 'almost' engagement to that man from the other world, Kuro, is a reason to be happy…

"…"

Yes, she should be happy and be supportive of her friend's happiness…

"…"

Damn it! Why does her eyes keep on tearing up? And it won't stop, no matter how hard she wipes it!

"…"

She should be happy, because that man…that good person has become Maddie's future partner…

And it hurts…it hurts so much she wanted to scream…

"…"

But Lily knew better. She need not to be swayed by her own feelings, for she's the Saint's friend. And she loves Maddie just like she's her sister…

Still, it's painful…

"…Lily?"

"!!!"

Princess Lilyhaven quickly turned around when she heard her name. However, her hopes were dashed when instead of that boy from another world, a member of the Paladin Corps appeared.

"Head Maid Lily? Are you okay?" the paladin asked, "I've been calling for you, but you won't hear me."

"I see…" then the paladin reached for something in her pocket, "By the way, a messenger from the Royal Fief of Nerfes gave me this. He told me that it is for your eyes only."

"Oh…" Princess Lily had a mixed expression when she was handed the letter from the Royal Fief of Nerfes. The melted-wax seal was the proof that it was the real thing; after all, no one can forge or copy the coat-of-arms of the von Leese Royal Family of Nerfes…no matter how someone try.

"Well then, I shall take my leave, Head Maid." The paladin then went on her way.

Princess Lilyhaven had her reservations on opening the letter. But after some few moments of hesitation, she decided that it would be useless to let it idle for long; she'll eventually read it sometime in the future…

So why not now?

Carefully tearing off the seal, Lily chanted a spell that made the incantation embedded on the paper to disappear. All of the letters coming from the members of the von Leese Royal Family were written this way; whether it is a matter concerning private lives, or of national security.

Lily began reading the contents of the paper she held in her hand…

Dear Princess Lilyhaven…

We know that you've just come back to our kingdom as part of the entourage of Her Holiness, the Great Saint of Chersea. Even though we have talked about this, and you're forbidden to return, we were willing to look past this offense you've committed in exchange that you would never set foot unto our royal lands.

Signed, Prince Nicholas Galahad von Leese.

"…"

It took a few more silent moments before Lily noticed that her eyes were completely drenched in tears.

"…"

Her hands were shaking, and a great sense of gloom enveloped her heart as she folded the paper from her father and stored it inside her maid uniform's hidden pocket.

"…"

Why…why is this happening to me?

"…"

Maddie? Kuro? Please, help me!

Someone…

However, no one had heard her pleas for help, for those cries were only said inside her heart. Lily wouldn't dare to destroy such a happy occasion on the Saint's recovery and her eventual engagement…

"…"

Princess Lilyhaven could only sob in silence…
