as ivan has a look of victory on his face thinking he won, and veronica looks satisfied
the duke says "thank you my dear daughter." as astelle bows and leaves
a thought suddenly crosses her mind "the emperor's birthday banquet! isn't it next week..?!"
she walks to her room and sees a box on the bed she opens it to see a beautiful silver dress made that fits astelle's pink hair and emerald eyes perfectly there is also a note in it "for my dear fiance. love ava."
astelle stares at the dress before putting it in her closet and suddenly thinks "i could wear it to the banquet!" as the banquet approaches her maids get her ready
as astelle stares at herself she looks stunning, etheral even.
she gets into the carriage with her father to the palace as the carriage approaches the duke speaks "astelle, are you unhappy with my remarriage?"
a question that makes her freeze. "of course not father, i'm very happy."
the duke smiles and the carriage finally arrives at the palace
astelle walks into the ballroom as she sees ava, waiting for in a red blood like colour dress.
astelle walks to ava, as ava says "you look gorgeous, my dear." astelle smiles"only for you."
after a couple of dances together astelle walks to a seat to rest as shes drunk from all the wine she drank.
count aqua, walks to her says" here..come with me" astelle being heavily drunk follows as ava notices.
count aqua walks astelle towards his carriage as suddenly ava grabs her arm.
ava says "what do you think you're doing." in a menacing voice.
count aqua stammers trying to explain but ava takes out her sword pointing it at his neck.
ava says" MY fiance. you dare try to take advantage of a drunk young lady?"
astelle says drunkly "a-ava..don't please.." as astelle hugs ava
ava lowers her sword sheathing it, "you got lucky, try this again and it'll be your neck" ava picks astelle up.
