Even if it ends in a tragedy

No sooner had Lyn left him, he hears a cough at his right side to find a woman with bright blue hair. "Lady---" he trails of catching her expression, "My bad, I mean Kathy. "

This woman is Kathy, the daughter of one of the neighboring countries of the Sound Kingdom. She's the Princesses friend, so Kazuya knew her quite well.

"Good. I'm surprised, though. I thought you'd take her away. Did you learn some self-control? "

Heh, "There's no way, just now I was thinking of ways to kidnap her since she's so pretty." She's so beautiful tonight. Although in his eyes she's always pretty, there's something about her tonight that's different.

"Now that's more like you."

"Is Gin here also?" Kazuya asked. He knew despite how strong Kathy is, she would never go to a ball filled with such dangerous individuals completely alone. Unlike back then, she is no longer a hanyou; in fact, there is no trace of the blood that was once there.
