Jeanette and Christine chatted cheerfully for a while, until Claus noticed the line forming behind them. He went up to whisper into Jeanette’s ear: “All right, we should get going. The other guests also want to bid their greetings to the hosts.”

“Okay!” she replied, then turned back to Christine. “We’ll be going now!”

She and Claus then headed towards the ballroom. The opulent chandelier glittered up above and music began playing right as they entered, as if the band had been waiting for their arrival.

Claus gently held out his arm towards Jeanette. “Please give me at least one dance.”

“Of course!” Jeanette said happily, taking his hand.

With that, the two of them stepped into the dance hall. A lively waltz was playing, and Jeanette’s dress swayed as she moved to the music. Each time her gown fluttered, the expansive night sky upon it glimmered. Its beauty drew the eye of the crowd, many of whom oohed and aahed at the sight.

“Look at her dress! It’s so pretty!”

“I wonder where it’s from? The duchess was really impressed with it too, right?”

“I’ve never seen that kind of fabric... It looks like stars in the sky!”

Jeanette grinned at the murmurs she could hear from around her. “Lord Claus! I get the feeling that Lady Christine’s approval is already in effect!”

“She did play a part, yes, but don’t forget about the fact that you look beautiful, Jeanette,” Claus told her. Her eyes widened when she realized he was speaking Yafruskan.

“Huh?” she uttered, and then responded to him in Yafruskan as well. “Lord Claus, why are you speaking in Yafruskan?”

“It’ll make it harder for anyone to eavesdrop on us, no?” Claus replied as he spun her around, and this time he spoke in Norvian, the official language of the Voltaire Empire.

Jeanette stepped along with his movements so as not to trip and replied in Norvian as well. “But there are plenty of people who’ve studied both of those languages,” she pointed out.

Claus chuckled at her composed argument. “True enough. Then how about the language I’m speaking now—Thoren?”

“Few would be familiar with it, I think... But wait, do you have some big secret to share?”

“No. I just don’t want to let anyone else hear the affections I’ll be whispering to you.”

“A-Affections?!” Jeanette squeaked.

In tune to the music, Claus pulled her closer against his chest and whispered into her ear. “You look truly divine tonight, Jeanette. You are my very own goddess,” he told her, and he’d once again smoothly switched languages—this time, he was speaking Digayan.

Jeanette’s ears reddened, but she managed to respond in Digayan as well. “What happened to you tonight, Lord Claus?! You’re being way too bold! You do have a fever, don’t you?!”

“I’m telling you that I don’t. Besides, my friend would laugh if he heard you claim the things I’ve said so far are ‘bold’.”

“Now you’re speaking Pakiran?! A-And it sounds like your friend is quite passionate!” Jeanette exclaimed.

“That’s right. I met him in Yafruska during my studies, but he was as passionate as a Pakiran,” Claus explained.
