1. FOREWORD

Tsukasa: Princess, good day to you! Welcome to our, Knights’, performance. The stage is set in the Middle Ages.

Arashi: Our duty as the Knights of this Cavalry is to escort the Princess to the ball. Hehe, please rely on us!

Ritsu: Actually, this story is a completely original work written by Su-chan. It’s a masterpiece that’ll make all of Japan cry, a grand love story that’s a handkerchief-must-have.

Tsukasa: Ritsu-senpai, please do not raise the bar unnecessarily. You are teasing me on purpose, aren't you? While I have dabbled a bit in novel writing, this is my first time attempting a full-scale stage script, so if you expect too much...

Izumi: Kasa-kun, why are you being so weak-willed from the start? Do you really think the Princess can enjoy herself if the creator doesn't have confidence?

Leo: That’s right, Suou! No matter what the story is, it won't resonate unless the creator stands tall and proud! Half-heartedness is the most uncool thing in both play and work!

Tsukasa: My apologies... I have shown you an unsightly side of myself in front of the Princess. Yes, just as you say. I, Tsukasa Suou, have poured all the passion I possess into this story to make the beloved Knights shine and, above all, to take the Princess to the greatest dream.

Ritsu: That's the spirit. Well, regardless of how the script is, we’ll spice it up with our best acting. So, just relax and leave it to us.

Arashi: That’s right. We will escort you through a sweet and stimulating time. Don’t you dare look away, even for a second!

Leo: Now, it’s time for the curtain to rise! Bathe your whole body in the ultimate inspiration that echoes through the universe!

Izumi: Are you ready? We’re going to perform with everything we’ve got, so make sure you truly immerse yourself in the story... You understand, right, Princess?

Tsukasa: Presented by Knights, just for you: Masquerade Night. Please enjoy it to your heart's content.

2. SWORD OF PRINCESS

(Sound of a carriage moving and horses neighing)

Fritz: Composing even while we travel? You’re as skilled as ever.

Leonardo: (Humming melodies enthusiastically) Hoh-hoh! Hoh-hoh-hoh!

Izmir: Leo-kun! Shut up! Leonardo!

Leonardo: Waaah! My sheet music flew away!
