Has Alphonso ever looked in the depths of someone's eyes? Has he ever feel this warm sensation brushing over his skin, making him hold tight?
Has he? Has he not?
Without answering the obvious question, Alphonso gives Genesis a face that could make up a day as he hears the sweet, "Yes," in Genesis's lovely voice.
His heart starts to pump harder, exhilarating his whole body because Genesis agrees to accompany him. Thus, the sound of blowing trumpets ringing in his ears, and Genesis wonders at his daydreaming face, "Your Highness, are you okay? Is there something wrong with my face?"
His Highness takes a step back as Genesis moves forward, closer to his face. He reacts in shyness while the redness in his ears tints, "T-there is nothing wrong. You look daz-same."

They couldn't believe the Prince chooses her over the other two Ladies.A brave civilian, a child of a noble, voices out her disagreement confidently, "But why, Your Highness? She doesn't even look good. Her presence is small no one would listen to her if she becomes the Queen, your Luna.""Why? Does looks measures the whole person?

Each and everyone is talking about what the Prince prepared for the next task.Nevertheless, someone couldn't stop thinking---'Did I met and greeted Prince Alphonso's friend? When? Where?' Genesis shuffles her thoughts as she wonders while fixing her collar in front of a mirror. She looks at the other candidates, who are minding their businesses."Lady Genesis?" A shivering, shy voice of a Lady catches Genesis's attention.

Hiya!" Genesis thoughtfully commands Winter as she holds on to him tight to which Winter's contentment.As they travel further into the forests, there were no trace or sound of horses following them. The noise Genesis could apprehend is from the leaves that are crushed by Winter's hoof."Where are they?" She starts to get worried as she gets no clue where the other Ladies head with their horses.Genesis pulls the reins to make use of the halter, which causes Winter to stop marching further into the woods as he whinnies.Lady Genes

He witnessed Duke Martin, Duchess Melany, Count Montre, and the other 51 nobles' downfall as they are found guilty of running the black market of Jumiere Kingdom. After that very moment, Prince Julian becomes the King of the Jumiere Kingdom, leaving Prince Alphonso proud of him.

We don't wanna be there again." Their mother weeps, and Craig hugs her once again. He didn't want to hear anything from them because what matters to Craig is that they're all safe. "Genesis, I miss you." Her father says lovingly while Lady Genesis wipes his tears away. "I miss you too, Father. No words can express how happy I am."
