I DON'T THINK HE'S WEARING SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LIKE THE CLOTHES I SENT.
LOOKING AT HIS DARK EXPRESSION...
HIS HIGHNESS DIDN'T LIKE THOSE CLOTHES EITHER.
IN THAT CASE... DEISON MUST HAVE FORCED THAT OUTFIT ON HIM!
LADY DIANA, HAVE YOU BEEN WELL?
I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW HAPPY I WAS TO RECEIVE YOUR LETTER SAYING YOU WANTED TO SEE ME AT THE FESTIVAL.
YOU'RE GOING TO MEET LADY DIANA?
B-BUT I CAN'T EXACTLY REFUSE...
I HAD A HARD TIME GETTING PERMISSION, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT.
I EVEN GOT A CHANCE TO HUMILIATE CASION IN FRONT OF ALL THE YOUNG LADIES!
UGH... I WANT TO THROW A PUNCH AT THAT SMIRKING FACE.
JUST DIE, YOU JERK.
PHEW... LET'S HOLD IT IN... I HAVE A DIFFERENT GOAL TODAY.
PRINCE DEISON, I FORGOT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO MY COUSIN.
BELLA, COME HERE.
I GREET THE SUN OF PETRORA.
I AM BELLA PINA IERENVER.
YOUR HIGHNESS, IF IT'S NOT RUDE, COULD I ASK YOU TO ESCORT MY COUSIN BELLA TODAY?
I INTEND TO ACCOMPANY PRINCE CASION TODAY.
DIANA...
THERE'S NOTHING GOOD ABOUT ACCOMPANYING DEISON.
EVEN IF I CHANGE HIS CLOTHES, DEISON WILL JUST PICK ON CASION THROUGHOUT THE FESTIVAL AND TORMENT HIM.
I CAN'T JUST STAND BY AND WATCH THAT.
IT'S OKAY YOUR HIGHNESS. I'LL HANDLE IT.
ACCOMPANYING CASION?
WITH CASION AND NOT ME?! I NATURALLY THOUGHT DIANA WOULD ACCOMPANY ME!
IT'S JUST THAT...
I HEARD THAT MANY HIGH-RANKING MAGES ARE COMING TO TODAY'S FESTIVAL.
I WAS WORRIED THAT PRINCE CASION'S APPEARANCE MIGHT BRING SHAME TO PRINCE DEISON...
BELLA PROBABLY WANTED TO SEE THE FESTIVAL ALONE WITH DEISON ANYWAY.
SHE'LL HELP ME AT A TIME LIKE THIS.
THAT'S RIGHT, I WAS SURPRISED TOO. PRINCE DEISON IS LITERALLY GLOWING, BUT PRINCE CASION'S APPEARANCE IS...
YOU MEAN HE LOOKS TACKY AND PATHETIC.
IT WAS WORTH FORCING CASION TO CHANGE HIS CLOTHES!
WHEN WE MET LAST TIME, HER REACTION WAS LUKEWARM, SO I DIDN'T THINK SHE WAS INTERESTED IN ME...
BUT DOES SHE CARE FOR ME ENOUGH TO LOOK OUT FOR MY REPUTATION?
HUMILIATING CASION AND CONFIRMING THE LADY'S FEELINGS. IT'S KILLING TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE!
MY LADY, YOUR CONSIDERATION IS TRULY DELICATE.
I WILL REMEMBER THIS FAVOR WELL TODAY.
IN THAT CASE, I SHALL REPAY YOU BY SHOWING THIS BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY A GOOD TIME AT THE FESTIVAL.
LOOK AT HIM, "BEAUTIFUL" YOUNG LADY? HE'S DEFINITELY A NATURAL AT KEEPING GIRLS ON THE HOOK.
YES, YOUR HIGHNESS. PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF BELLA.
BEFORE I WENT TO THE GALLOWS, I THOUGHT ABOUT MANY THINGS IN MY SOLITARY CELL.
SINCE WHEN DID BELLA AND DEISON HAVE THAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP?
DID I DISAPPOINT DEISON?
WHY DIDN'T I NOTICE DEISON'S TRUE FEELINGS...?
BUT NOW I FINALLY SEE IT.
BELLA DIDN'T LOVE DEISON.
SHE WAS GREEDY FOR HIS POWER AS THE HEIR TO THE THRONE.
AS FOR DEISON, AS LONG AS IT WAS A PRETTY YOUNG LADY WHO STROKED HIS EGO AND ACTED CUTE,
HE DIDN'T CARE WHO IT WAS.
IT'S A RELIEF THAT BOTH OF YOU ARE BEYOND-SAVING PIECES OF TRASH.
NOW I CAN HELP PRINCE CASION WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE.
YOUR HIGHNESS.
DIANA, THESE CLOTHES...
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING; I ALREADY KNOW.
PRINCE DEISON FORCED YOU TO WEAR THEM ON PURPOSE, RIGHT?
WOULD YOU COME TO THE CARRIAGE FOR A MOMENT?
I BROUGHT A SPARE SET OF CLOTHES JUST IN CASE.
...HOW IS IT? DOES IT FEEL AWKWARD?
AS I THOUGHT, BLUE IS PERFECT FOR HIS HIGHNESS!
IT GOES SO WELL WITH HIS GOLDEN EYES, AND IT REALLY BRINGS OUT A LUXURIOUS ATMOSPHERE.
WHO WOULD LOOK AT THIS AND THINK CASION IS A SICK CHILD?
IT SUITS YOU SO WELL! I'M SO GLAD I HAD YOU WEAR THESE CLOTHES.
YOU'RE REALLY CUTE!
C-C-CUTE...
I'M CUTE?!
NOT COOL?!
YES! YOU'RE VERY CUTE!
LET'S GO SEE THE FESTIVAL QUICKLY.
YOU'LL STAND OUT MORE THAN DEISON AT THE FESTIVAL TODAY!
I WANTED TO HEAR YOU SAY I WAS COOL...
THERE ARE SO MANY MAGIC TOOLS THAT ARE USUALLY HARD TO SEE.
SINCE IT'S HOSTED BY THE MAGIC ASSOCIATION, THE PRICE AND QUALITY SHOULD BE RELIABLE.
HOW MUCH IS THIS, BY ANY CHANCE?
YOU HAVE GOOD TASTE. IT'S AN ILLUSION NECKLACE IMBUED WITH HIGH-LEVEL MAGIC.
IT'S A SPECIAL ITEM THAT LETS YOU FEEL THE SOUND OF THE SEA AND THE WIND.
THIS IS ORIGINALLY 20 GOLD COINS, BUT I'LL GIVE YOU A SPECIAL DISCOUNT AND MAKE IT 18!
IT'S PRETTY...! YOUR HIGHNESS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE SEA?
LET'S GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
WHY? I HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY. I'LL BUY IT FOR YOU.
THAT'S A CHEAP ILLUSION.
THE MAGIC ISN'T WORTH PAYING THAT PRICE FOR.
CHEAP?! THIS IS STRICTLY HIGH-LEVEL MAGIC...!
QUIT LYING. LET'S GO, I'LL PICK OUT THE ACCESSORIES.
...YOUR HIGHNESS, HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A MAGIC TOOL IS HIGH-LEVEL OR NOT?
I JUST KNOW. BY INSTINCT.
IT'S BEEN LIKE THAT SINCE I WAS LITTLE.
THEN, THAT MEANS YOU'VE HAD THE ABILITY TO SENSE MANA SINCE YOU WERE BORN.
THAT'S A TRAIT ONLY A NATURAL-BORN MAGE CAN HAVE...
YOUR HIGHNESS, THIS MIGHT SOUND LIKE A STRANGE THING TO SAY...
BUT HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THAT YOU MIGHT BE A MAGE?
At the festival, Diana realizes that Prince Deison deliberately forced Prince Casion to wear his tacky outfit. She pushes her cousin Bella forward to accompany Deison and says she herself will accompany Casion. While Deison misunderstands the situation and is pleased, Diana sees the true faces of Bella and Deison. She has Casion change into the blue spare outfit she brought in the carriage, they tour the festival together, and at the magic necklace stall, Casion's innate ability to sense mana is revealed.
