[Clair made a face, and glared at the young blond man. Allen, on the other hand, couldn't help staring at her - The white haired girl looked awful, like she'd been crying and moping for weeks or something!]
...Miss Claire?
[He eventually said, gently.]
- What happened?
[Claire sniffed, and wiped her eyes again.]
...What do you mean, what happened? Michelle and Lord Kyle are getting married, that's what happened! And now she's at the Capital, getting ready for their formal betrothal, and...And I'll probably never, ever get to see her again...
[And then she sat down at the table, and started to cry, softly. Allen stared at her again, and offered her one of his handkerchiefs, blankly.]
[And in the meanwhile, back in the Gold Kingdom, a few days before Allen reached the village...]
[Finally!]
[The Minister of War felt a trimphant smile come over his face. He gave his liege a graceful bow, actually trying to be gracious just this once.]
