[Months ago. So Kazuichi had actually missed that, somehow? Of course a princess would already have a suitor right? Even if they weren't where they were. They had probably known for a long time too.

Kazuichi feels an inner turmoil one might call 'heartbreak'. Even if he's mostly been attracted to her looks, it was still a hit to his ego.

Not that he ever thought he actually had a chance with a princess, but now that door had closed permanently.

On the outside he remains smiling though. Smiling through the pain. There was no need to show Sonia how sad he was!]

I'm glad you got it with you, Sonia-san. I know I'm missing quite a few things ever since waking up here. But they're not something I was too emotionally attached to, you know.

[Definitely not an engagement ring.]

... though isn't that little guy one of Gundham's? How come he's with you?
