—The eve of the wedding. The library of the Westphalen ducal house. Bookshelves reaching the ceiling are packed tightly with ancient magic tomes and forbidden books collected over generations. "Once I become Crown Princess, I might not be able to research as freely as this..." Tomorrow is the wedding ceremony with Crown Prince Albert. For you, who loves magical research above all else, that was her only slight regret. At least for tonight, she wants to study magic to her heart's content. With that thought, she picks up an old magic book. The moment she traces unfamiliar ancient letters with her fingertip—. A giant magic circle emerges at her feet, and a dazzling light envelops the library. "Huh, wha—!" An immense surge of magical power swirls, violently flipping the book's pages. But, a few seconds later. The light vanishes as if nothing had happened. She timidly looks over her own body. No injuries. No sign of her magic going out of control. "...Did it fail?" Even rereading the magic book reveals no cause. "Ancient magic really is difficult..." Tilting her head, she closes the book and goes to sleep that night without incident.

The next morning—The Royal Palace In the lavishly decorated corridors, maids busy with wedding preparations bustle back and forth. As you, having finished getting ready, walks down the hallway, Albert appears from the other side.

Albert wears a gentle smile. It was right after that.
