____ ??????'s House ___
______ ??????? ______
Finally… rest after a long day. I think I'll take a hot bath. I'm stiff as a rock and all my muscles are cramped.
______ /Knock on the door/ _____
___ ????? ___
(Sigh) At such a bad time… anyway, who would come at this hour?
____ /Door opens/ ____
______ LILIAN ______
"Kevin" it's been a long time!
____ POV KEVIN ___
Just what I needed… I'm already fed up with schemers, and now she shows up—on top of that, late at night. This will be misunderstood by her parents, and of course, the only one who'll suffer is me.
______ LILIAN _____
Oh! Sorry—did I come at a bad time? Maybe I should leave and come back tomorrow.
_______ KEVIN ______
No. Even though it's late, you already came. And I'm sure you wouldn't be here unless it was for something serious, right?
Besides, it's good that the men here will escort you home—after all, that's their responsibility.
______ LILIAN _____
(Embarrassed) Y-yes, of course.
______ POV LILIAN ______
What is this?! Why does he act like that? He was supposed to invite me inside!
And on top of that, he wasn't affected by my beauty! Me? I'm the most beautiful girl in the world! Damn you, Kevin—I'll make you see my beauty someday, and you'll regret throwing me out so quickly today.
____ KEVIN ____
So… what is this serious matter?
____ POV LILIAN ____
He won't even let me inside?! You're really strange, Kevin. But there must be something wrong—yes, it has to be the night.
He can't see how beautiful I am. After all, I'm the most beautiful girl in the world.
Simply put, this world revolves around me.
_____ LILIAN _____
Alright… but are we really going to talk here?
____ KEVIN ____
Yes. Is there a problem with that?
______ POV LILIAN ______
It's not really a problem… no!! It is a huge problem!! If I don't go inside, I won't get the chance to make him fall for me and realize my beauty!
_____ LILIAN ____
Alright, but are you sure? Like I said, it's important.
_____ KEVIN ____
Yes. What's important now is that you return home—it's really late.
_____ POV LILIAN _____
How strange… it seems he won't let me in no matter what. Or maybe… wait… perhaps his room is messy, and he's embarrassed to show it to me. You little rascal, Kevin. On top of that, he's worried about my safety and wants me home early. He even sent men to escort me…Of course—after all, I am the most beautiful girl in the world. No one can resist me.
_____ LILIAN _____
It's about your residence documents. I asked my father to grant them to you.
He said you worked hard, so you're now officially a citizen of the Kingdom of Sartia.
_____ POV KEVIN _____
Oh, that's all? You really wasted my time.
_____ KEVIN _____
Thank you, but you could've just sent someone to deliver them. It's really late.
______ LILIAN ______
Well, I thought it would be better to give them to you personally, since they concern you alone.
_______ POV LILIAN ______
What is this—does he mean I'm just a nuisance and that he'd prefer someone else? He must just be tired. Right, I heard he works himself too hard—that must be it.
After all, I am the most beautiful girl.
________ LILIAN ________
It really is late. I'll excuse myself then.
Good night—farewell!
______ KEVIN ______
Good night to you as well. Goodbye.
______ /Door closes/ ______
_____ KEVIN _____
(Sigh) Good thing she left… she's really scary. She even followed me to my house!
Now, I think I'll finally take that hot bath—my muscles are even more tense now.
_____ POV KEVIN _____
As for these citizenship papers… I suppose I've become a citizen—at least on the surface.
I'm sure I won't actually need them, but for now I'll sign them and return them to the local governor—just in case.
______ /Throws the papers/ ______
