Ale and Elisaria stepped into the venue hand in hand, Ale acting as her escort.
While the guard outside the venue was busy declaring their entrace, Ale suddenly remembered something important that he had forgotten.
"Ah! I completely forgot.."
Ale made a regretful expression.
"What is it?"
Elisaria asked, tilting her head slightly to the side, looking super cute.
The door to the venue opened and they took their first step, looking at each other, focusing on what the other was saying instead of the crowd of people that were waiting ahead.
"You look very beautiful today, Ria."
Ale smiled sheepishly as he complimented Elisaria's appearance.
He was actually quite shocked when he saw her outside the marquessate. But due to the presence of many people, including the Marquis and his wife and their butler, Ale couldn't find the chance to compliment her properly before.
