Story[]
Gravis is caught on top of Sir Alec's fiancée and is ordered to come at once. Upon meeting in a different scenario, Gravis was located by Alec then and stated he was looking for Lily. After Alec clarifies whether he is looking for his fiancée, Gravis nervously hurries away.
The "Silver Prince and the Holy Bride" is a popular romantic fantasy novel following the marchioness Lily and her fiancé Prince Alec. Alec is particularly popular with fans because of his lovey-dovey side, shown only to Lily. This novel sold countless copies. One day, after his rounds, a truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and crashed into the person who would become seen as Gravis, killing him on the spot.
Waking up, the novel's heroine is recognized. While Lily appears relieved, Gravis gathers that he has been reborn as a side character, Loneal Gravis. Aware that Loneal's path in the story involves him assaulting the heroine and being exiled, Gravis is alarmed that it is the equivalent of a death sentence. Doing his best to avoid those two, Gravis reflects how it has been six months since he set his heart on that goal.
Today, however, Gravis found that he ran into Alec on the way home and was partnered in the same class on another occasion. A few days later, Gravis asks himself with some alarm why he is having a tea party date with Alec. Where Lily had canceled at the last minute, Gravis finds himself with Alec yet thinks to use his business skills to get through this. After pouring him tea from Alec drinking it, Gravis recognizes this scene, having viewed the illustration of it before.
After Alec praises the tea, Gravis is struck by his smile.[1]
