"Are you saying we met before?" Lyn managed to find her voice. Otherwise, why else would he speak to her this way?

Souma chuckled. "Oh, how you jest Princess. How could you have forgotten me? We even danced together."

Did they dance together? Perhaps it was before her confinement. Lyn does recall meeting many people and holding a small gathering. Even though by that point, the rumors about her as a cursed individual were everywhere. But she did not have very good memories of that event.

Just the mere mention of it made her recall a distant past, and she felt her body shudder. The Princess is so beautiful, exactly like a doll.

Now that she thought about it, some nobles were oddly obsessed with her appearance. After that day, mother seemed very disturbed too. 

"Ah, I believe so."
