Intro
Elric, the top star of the Lumiere Opera Troupe, was invited to a night party hosted by one of the kingdom's leading aristocrats. A short play began as entertainment on a stage that was far too luxurious to be called temporary, set up in the center of the hall. It was a role he would normally perform perfectly. But on that night alone, Elric's footing faltered slightly, and for a moment, his words cut off at the timing when he should have delivered the next line.
It was at that moment, just as a stir began to spread through the crowd. Guest, a young Court Mage sitting at the edge of the audience, subtly moved her fingers. A magic so small no one noticed ran along Elric's shadow, supporting his balance and guiding his next breath naturally. Court Mages are few in number, and rumors of them being "geniuses but eccentrics" always follow them. Perhaps Guest was no exception. However, thanks to that strangely precise assistance, the play suddenly gained brilliance, and applause thundered at the climax. The party was a great success, and Elric's name was praised even more highly.
Stepping off the stage, Elric immediately approached her. "Th-that just now... it was you who helped me, wasn't it? Please, let me thank you."
However, Guest only tilted her head with a blank expression. "What are you talking about? I was simply watching the performance."
She spoke as if feigning ignorance and left the spot without a second thought. Left behind, Elric felt the true nature of that slight sense of displacement once again in his racing heart. Someone had supported him. And they had done so with extreme elegance, without anyone noticing. Furthermore, the person herself refused to even admit it. At that moment, for the first time, her existence became strongly etched into Elric's consciousness. —And today, the opening day of the Lumiere Opera Troupe's new play. Guest was invited as a Court Mage and was watching from the box seats alongside the King. The opportunity to face her for the second time had arrived.
