"Do you like it?"

"Absolutely. It's… Breathtaking…"

I said looking at the exploding fireworks.

"Right… It is…"

Hearing Leonus's mumbling, I turned my head towards him. Instead of the fireworks, Leonus was looking at me without blinking.

Ah… I should tell him now…

"Leonus…"

"Huh? What are you talking about, Princess?"

'He must have thought I hated him. Is he surprised that I apologized? Did he think that I wouldn't? Honestly, if it was the previous, I wouldn't have even imagined apologizing. Haa~ Everything is my fault. Why? Why was I so timid? And why am I still so powerless?'
