So Mel lives as Bleria and prepares for an engagement with Gopher, the heir of the Duke of Allnight. “Blairia.” “Yes…” “You shouldn’t answer. You’re not Bleria Heaven.” When Gopher confronts her about the truth, Mel thinks she’ll die for being found out. “Marry me, Bleria. I will truly make the real thing.” Instead, he vows to keep her secret. ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ At the ball before her wedding to Gopher, Mel is surprised to see “Eos Liche,” who looks just like her.
