Getting invited to such a grand party hosted by the Cantate family—the rulers of the Kalpastria Kingdom—is something that Chronomia wouldn't have expected to happen to her.

Maybe it's because she's a pretty famous watchmaker? Or maybe she's just somehow that special? Nonetheless, she accepted such an invitation eagerly.

And now here she is, in a rather spacious and grand ballroom within the royal castle, wearing her best suit. She looked around in awe, with Aleph simply standing behind her, laughing at how amazed she is to even be here.

And to be fair with her, he's amazed that he could be here too.

Chronomia looked around some more, before her eyes spot a familiar woman with white hair standing near a crowd of women in fancy gowns. It's none other than Destr0yer herself. The thing that made Chronomia a little taken aback, though, was that the former Goddess of Destruction was just wearing her usual attire.

The one she wears everyday? Yeah, that one.

"Ms. Destr0yer!" The watchmaker called towards the former Goddess, catching her attention. "Hm? Nomia? You're here too, huh?" Destr0yer asked, and Chronomia enthusiastically nodded. "Yeah! I got invited. I assume you too?" She asked back.

Destr0yer sighed. "Yeah. Frankly, I don't really wanna be here right now. Too much fancy shit; not really my style." She said, and to that, Chronomia chuckled. "Right." The two women then stood beside each other in silence, with Chronomia wondering where Aleph went when she ran off to see Destr0yer.

He's drinking somewhere with Nhelv, probably.

After a little bit, the two noticed that music is starting to play, and most of the guests are pairing up together—probably for a slow dance? "Oh, they're about to dance." Chronomia muttered, but it didn't really escaped Destr0yer's ears either. The former Goddess nodded. "Yeah. I'll just stand by and watch, I guess. I'm not that much of a dancer."

Chronomia turned her head to look at Destr0yer, an eyebrow raised. "Huh? Really, now? I wanted to dance, though." She said. Destr0yer glanced back at the other woman, a blank look on her face. "You can go find a dance partner yourself. I'll just stay here and watch." To that, Chronomia frowned. "But..." "...But?"

"...I wanted to dance with you."

"Wh- HUH?!" Destr0yer's reply was shouted out in a high volume, which led Chronomia to quickly cover her mouth with her hand. "Shh...you're going to attract attention to yourself. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?" She said in a low voice, and that somehow brought shivers down the former Goddess' spine.

"Mm-" Quickly, Destr0yer removes Chronomia's hand off of her mouth. "Shut up. If you really wanna dance, then fine! Let's pair up, I guess." She said, before quickly adding, "Just a heads up; I'm a shitty dancer." Chronomia giggled, before outstretching her hand towards Destr0yer in an offering manner. "Alright then."

"So...may I have this dance, m'lady?" Chronomia asked, looking at Destr0yer with hope in her eyes. Destr0yer stood in silence for a bit, seemingly hesitant in taking Chronomia's hand, but then sighed, a smile appearing on her face as she finally did just that.

"Yeah. Sure. Why not? Don't be so cheesy about this, though."

"Haha, don't worry, I won't."
