Volume 1 Prologue: Endings and Beginnings

-----

The 13th day of the fourth month, the year 3306 of the World Calendar.

In the middle of the school gymnasium, which had been converted into a ballroom—

A boy and a girl were dancing .

A boy with black hair,

And a girl with long, decorated brown hair . josei

They boy, in a black tuxedo,

And the girl, in a yellow dress .

With the gazes of many other boys and girls on them, they danced .

Elegantly, and maybe a little violently .

“You’re even good at dancing, huh. I hate you just a little bit more now, Treize. ”

“Cut me some slack, Lillia. I’m trying my best here. ”

“Tch. You know, I won’t go easy on you even if you’re a prince or whatever. ”

“I know. ”

The words they exchanged as they danced—

—were drowned out completely by the music around them .

“I am wondering what the two people are talking about… But in any case, they are both very, very cool. ”

A girl with long black hair done up—

A girl wearing a white dress—

Said to the boy standing at her right side .

“It sort of looks like they’re fighting. ”

A boy with grey eyes—

A boy wearing a black tuxedo—

Replied with a flustered look .

The emcee on the dance floor called out, “Everyone, are you just going to stand around all night?” .

Boys and girls stepped onto the floor with their chosen partners beside them .

The black-haired girl turned her gaze from Lillia and Treize, looking to her right .

And she held out her white-gloved hand to the boy standing there .

The grey-eyed boy turned elegantly,

And gently took her hand in his .

“Shall we dance, Seron Maxwell?”

The girl asked in Bezelese .

The girl asked in Bezelese .

“It would be my pleasure, Meg. ”

The boy replied in Roxchean .

“Atta boy, Seron… you’ve come so far… I’m so proud of you!”

“You’re sounding like a regular mother figure. If memory serves, weren’t you s’pposed to be a guy?”

“That aside, are you two simply going to watch from the sidelines? We should enjoy the evening as well. ”

“You’ve got that right. It’s no fun just watching—I’m going to show off my moves. ”

It all started in the summer of 3305—
