"Mr. Hamilton!"
Tifa's voice came from outside the door, and she had actually returned, sounding somewhat anxious:
"Queen Diana wants to see you, but no one could find you anywhere. Miss asked me to rush and bring you back."
Shard looked again at Lecia's expression, and she was breathing deeply with a taut face.
Princess Angelina was holding her cup, sipping the somewhat hot tea in small mouthfuls, looking back and forth with interest at the two people here:
"Mr. Hamilton, you had best wipe off all your lipstick before you set off."
She kindly reminded Shard and, seeing him look toward her, even took out her own handkerchief. It was a silk handkerchief, embroidered with the pattern of butterflies:
"You may borrow this."
Thanks to Princess Angelina's reminder, when Shard saw Queen Diana, there was no disrespectful trace on his face. The meeting place was exactly the same waiting room where Shard, after being shot on the street, had waited to meet Larus III.
