She's outside the palace.

Who's there?
Quiet.
It's me
Rio.
What?
Oh.
It's been a long time.
R-Rio?
Yes.
Is it really you
I've returned
Though it's taken me four years to do it.
Rio!
It is you.
P-Professor...
Yes...
You're really here. It isn't a dream.
Professor
Yes
All this time...
Yes.
Rio...
You've gotten quite a bit taller.
You haven't changed very
I-I've grown a little more womanly!
Yes.
You have always been beautiful
There you go
You've grown dashing
Strong and gallant.
Thank you very much.
I-I'm so glad you came back safe and sound.
Wait...
How did you get here?
You couldn't have snuck in
Yes
Oh
I want to hear everything!
Y-Yes...

Would you like some tea? Let's have some.
We often had tea together

I've heard that your groom is Charles Arbor.
Y-Yes.
That's right.
I know it's rude to ask so suddenly
Is this wedding something
I am sorry to ask something like this.
But when I heard that the
This wedding is something

He's someone you have an ill-fated
I thought perhaps
this might have something to do with
No. I am of age
I can't think only of my research forever.
Really?
Yes!
And in spite of appearances
Professor...
Then
Or will you take me somewhere and
I... uh...
Just kidding.
What?
I'm sorry. Please forget all of that.
Professor...

We haven't finished talking yet.
You can't stay. The people who

Thank you
for coming back
It made me truly happy.
But I can't let you get caught up in this.
Bye-bye
Haruto?
I wasn't able to find out her true feelings.
What will you do?
I don't know.
But I want to know a little more
I will help you.
Sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
Because all I do is have you help me
I believe I've told you. I will

Sir!
Right face!
Lord Charles
Ah!
Sir Reiss!
Allow me to offer congratulations
Thank you so much for coming!
With our relationship?
Yes
When did you arrive in our royal capital?
I've just arrived.
If I'd known earlier that you'd be staying
No
Though we are officially at peace
we two are from enemy countries.
If you are too friendly with me
I see.
So this time
I am touched by your consideration.
It's fine.
But once the ceremony is over
Tonight is your first night together.
I will visit another day.
Oh
To take such trouble and to be
I sense a spirit.
It's quite a powerful one.
Sir Reiss...
Is something wrong?
No
I will go to the ceremony hall
Allow me to send someone
You there! Show Sir Reiss to the ceremony hall.
I am honored.
Sir!
Be sure to show him every courtesy.
It's disappeared.
Yes
Everything is fine.

I have no feelings. I am just a doll.
Celia...
Please come out here a moment.
Yes
Oh
You look m-magnificent

Did those individuals say
No. I was just so nervous yesterday
I think that might be the cause.
I see.

Look to your right.
Rio...
Rio!
Why are you here?
I told you not to come!
Rio
Hey
Oh
I'm not sure. So many feelings
I see. You're so happy you're crying?
But we must be dignified here.
Everyone is watching
Yes.
Good.

Where has Rio gone?
Was it... all a fantasy?
Celia...
I am... a doll.
