"I kind of anxious because everyone look at me." Alice thought. Louis who feel her shoulder stiff, laughing gently at her. "Relax, Alice." Louis said.
"B-But everyone is watching. We're in the center as well with Sister and Jason.. I'm just feel uncomfortable." Alice whispering at him glancing at the nobles. "It's because the Empire's younger princess is having her first dance." Louis said laughing at her.
"How about this? Let's show our special eyes together. Let everyone staring at us in envious because of our eyes." Louis suggest at her. "Why should they envious though?" Alice said.
"But aren't you tried to change yourself?" Louis asked. Alice staring at him for a moment before nodded at him. "Right. I promise to be a better person for my family." Alice said.
"Good. Then..." Louis said and take out something at his pocket. Louis gently pin Alice's bang and reveals her green eyes.
"Look. It's same." Louis said pointing to his eyes. Everyone at there gasping at Alice's eyes. Alice glance at everyone before look at Louis.
"You're right." Alice said smiling softly. "On top of that, you're really pretty today, Alice." Louis said.
"Just showing our eyes proudly like this... Make me really happy." Louis said. Alice look at him.

Alice look down for a moment. "... Louis?" Alice call his name. "Huh?" Louis said. They were in middle of dancing.
"... Thank you. For not giving up and coming to find us." Alice said smiling at him.
Louis stare at her for a moment before smiled back. "... I'm your guardian." Louis said.
"Protecting you is my mission." Louis said. "Right." Alice said laughing gently at him.
At the throne.
The Emperor who heard Alice's laughter darkly glaring at them. "You seem dissatisfied, Father." Alex said beside him. Arjen who was eating just sweat drop at him.
"Allow it just once. Jason and Louis went through a lot up till now." Alex said. "... I know. That's why I'm tolerating it. If not, I would have removed them immediately." The Emperor said. "Me too!" Eiji said.
"Even so... Aren't you happy? Look at the nobles gaze. They're completely different from the past..." Alex said.
"Alice also look really happy when she's showing her eyes at the public. It seem like she's accepting her eyes." Alex said looking at the smiling Alice who just laughing at Louis while they're still dancing.
