Although it had happened many times before, in Tiana's eyes, what Giselle wore at certain times was still dazzling. "Are you sure this isn't too much?" Giselle asks while adjusting her hair. "It's just a regular gala dinner, right?"
Tiana laughs. "Even though I think tonight's dinner is ordinary, the impact of your arrival is definitely not ordinary."
Giselle sighs. "Alright, let's go. I don't like lingering there."

Her training session is nearing its end, and she needs to master the stage quickly. Brina mentioned that Jane's mistakes have been decreasing.Brina herself is amazed; Jane quickly grasps everything she directs.
