To Lina, who was in the depths of despair, the little girl’s smile was her salvation and her hope. Lina named the girl "Aria" and resolved to become her mother—! Five years later, Aria and Lina were living peacefully in a frontier village. Immediately after taking Aria in, Lina was helped by the villagers and was able to make a living as an apothecary.

She believed this life would continue forever. However—. "...Lina?" The situation changes completely. Seiran, who was thought to have died in the war, appears before the two of them...!? The story of love and bonds spun by three people toyed with by fate begins now! *Source: Manga Up!, translated*

DLsite Garumani: The prestigious "St. Rosé Academy." It is a noble yet secluded sanctuary where the elite, aspiring toward classical music and ballet, gather. Avery, a dance major, lives within a world as ephemeral and beautiful as delicate leotards and dancing tutus, all while bearing the heavy pressure of a strict, fifteen-generation-long tradition. Amidst a daily life bound by discipline, his soul secretly yearns for a "true beauty," one as graceful as the lace that adorns the world around him. Only his devoted lover, Vincent, can see the hunger hidden deep within Avery’s eyes. To Vincent, Avery is no mere student. He is a noble and adorable "little doll" permitted to be cherished by him alone, and a "ballerina" more beautiful than any other. In the moment when "glittering dreams" melt into reality, Vincent guides Avery toward the soft, frilly attire he was always meant to wear. Donning his new garment, Avery dances lightly. As the clamor of the academy fades into the distance, within the sweet and sacred bond that belongs only to the two of them, he finally attains the elegance of the princess he had seen only in his dreams.
