At a regular tea party gathering, Seraphima receives a proposal to dissolve her engagement from Prince Isidore, her fiancé. The clumsy romance of boys who want to tease those they like, and men who test their lover's feelings, can only be accepted within the pages of a story. If one were to do such things in reality, it would shatter the bonds of trust in an instant. ※ Cross-posted on "Syosetsuka ni Narou" and "AlphaPollis," and also published on my personal website.
