Angel looked different this morning. The face that last night was so puffy and covered in sadness, suddenly turned bright. Even now he asked Anne to dress him.

"You are already very beautiful, Your Majesty. Even without any makeup."
"That's what you say, Anne... but Erick must think differently," replied Angel with a faint smile.
Anne no longer answered, choosing to apply glossy lipstick to the girl's lips.
