The play told the tragic love story of a young maiden, and had garnered such positive reception that it had even become popular abroad. When Mary first heard of it, she’d found herself wishing she would have the opportunity to see it once for herself. She’d never imagined such an opportunity would be given to her by her mother—let alone with the woman insisting Mary just had to go and that she’d “definitely enjoy it.”

Alas, even without all these visitors, Albert Manor was always bustling with activity, so going to the theater would be a nice change of pace. The restaurant Keryl had booked for Mary and Adi offered good food and a charming atmosphere too, and surely there was no greater experience than attending the theater on a pleasantly full stomach.

Such were Mary’s thoughts as she took her seat in the auditorium, cheerfully clutching a handkerchief (she had it with her in preparation for tears, of course). Adi was next to her, and as he’d also heard about the play’s reputation, he was thoroughly intrigued.

“It’s a story about friendship and a tragic love, right?” Mary spoke up. “I’m looking forward to it!”

“It’s about a young noblewoman and a prince who are engaged, and one day they meet a pitiable town girl... Wait, that sounds like...”

“What’s the matter, Adi? It’s about to begin!” Mary said, right as the stage lights dimmed. The idle chatter inside the chamber grew silent, and Mary squeezed her handkerchief tightly, then turned her gaze towards the stage.

“I must be imagining things,” Adi muttered, and followed Mary’s example, turning towards the stage as the curtains drew open...

The story followed a beautiful noble girl with straight silver hair on a journey through friendship and tragic love. Her status in society was so high that all envied her, and she was engaged to the nation’s prince, who was also her childhood friend. A gorgeous silver-haired maiden, and a charming indigo-haired prince—the scene illustrated how very close they were before the play moved on.

The heroine loved the prince from the bottom of her heart, and thought the two of them would become a happy married couple. For that reason, she dedicated herself to learning impeccable manners and etiquette, and grew into a flawless young woman. Anyone who looked at the prince couldn’t have imagined anyone other than her standing by his side.

One day, the silver-haired noblewoman met a certain miserable town girl. The girl was unsophisticated and pure of heart, with golden locks shining as brightly as the sun. She was timid because of their difference in social standing, but the noblewoman approached her first. Upon learning that the town girl longed to join high society, the noblewoman began to teach her proper manners and invited her to her own parties. The scene of the two girls bonding and growing close, their oppositely colored locks fluttering gently, was mesmerizing.

During one of the parties, the prince met the town girl too, and was completely taken with her. It was a love that surpassed rank differences.
