Fight again

After leaving Quinn's side, Belle returned to her room, where Mia was eagerly awaiting her.

"Congratulations on going to war!" Mia cheered the moment Belle stepped inside, twirling around in excitement.

Belle, despite her sour mood, couldn't help but burst into laughter at Mia's enthusiasm. Anyone who saw her in such high spirits would think she had personally initiated the war.

"What of my maids?" She inquired, wondering if they had retired for the day. She parted with them at the side hall and had not seen them since then. 

"I sent them away, now back to our war discussion!" Mia said, changing the topic.

"This is the first time I have seen someone thrilled about going to battle," Belle remarked, shaking her head as she walked toward her closet.
