Then the next scene showed Jack being dressed properly by the crew,

Looking nervous yet curious as he was guided through the grand halls of the first-class deck.

The nobles' eyes followed him—

Some with judgment, others with curiosity—

As he stepped into a world far from his own.

The chandeliers glimmered like frozen stars,

The tables were adorned with gold and silverware,

And the atmosphere was filled with laughter and elegance.

Jack, though slightly out of place, held his composure, responding politely and even charmingly when questioned about his life.

The audience in the Clover Kingdom theater watched in fascination—

Some nobles in the crowd even murmured softly,

Finding it amusing to see a commoner mingling among high society.

When Jack explained that life was a gift and should be lived fully each day,

The words struck a chord even among those who were merely watching a "moving picture."

His sincerity touched hearts,

And when the scene shifted to Rose giggling during dinner,

Enjoying Jack's humor while her fiancé grew visibly annoyed,

The entire theater burst into laughter.

And as the dinner ended,

The screen showed Rose slipping Jack a note inviting him to meet at the clock—

The start of their unforgettable adventure.

The melody swelled, soft and hopeful,

And the audience leaned forward, eager to see what awaited them next.

As the film flowed from scene to scene,

The audience at Clover's Grand Theater was completely entranced.

The room was filled with hushed gasps and murmurs as Rose's defiance grew—

Her decision to break free from her controlling fiancé and overbearing mother drew quiet admiration from many women watching.

Some of the younger girls even whispered excitedly to one another,

Inspired by her boldness.

Then came the intimate, iconic scene—

Rose and Jack slipping into the ship's storage area,

Laughter echoing as they ran hand in hand through the maze of pipes and machinery.

When the fogged-up car windows appeared,

A wave of surprised exclamations swept through the theater.

Some of the nobles' faces flushed red.

A few older women gasped audibly,

While the younger ones giggled behind their hands.

Giggle~ 

The men tried to keep composed,

But the scene had everyone's full attention.

Before the whispers could die down,

The tone shifted—

The calm ocean night gave way to the fateful moment.

A haunting note played as the ship collided with the iceberg.

The sound of tearing metal echoed through the theater's enchanted audio system,

Sending chills down the spines of everyone present.

The once lively atmosphere grew tense.

Mothers held their breath.

Magic Knights leaned forward, eyes wide.

The nobles, who had laughed moments ago,

Now sat frozen as chaos unfolded on-screen—

Panic, shouts, the freezing water flooding the lower decks.

Gasps filled the air as passengers scrambled,

And when Jack and Rose fought to survive amid the confusion,

The audience's emotions surged.

Some whispered prayers under their breath,

While others clenched their fists as if urging the characters to hold on.

Even the captains of the Magic Knight squads—

Charlotte, Yami, Nozel, Dorothy and Fuegoleon—

Were struck silent, their eyes glued to the glowing screen.

The movie's pace had shifted from romance to raw tragedy,

And for the first time,

The citizens of Clover Kingdom truly experienced something beyond imagination—

Storytelling that pulled at their hearts and made them feel as though they too were on the doomed ship.

As the film neared its end,

The tension in the theater was unbearable—

No one dared to blink.

The audience watched as Jack,

Falsely accused and locked away in the flooding depths of the ship,

Struggled against his fate.

When Rose leapt from the lifeboat, gasps and cries of disbelief echoed across the seats.

"She jumped back!?"

One woman exclaimed.

"She's mad—but brave,"

Muttered a Nozel in awe.

The crowd collectively held its breath as Rose fought through rising water,

Searching for Jack amid screams and chaos.

When she finally found him,

Freeing him with trembling hands,

The audience erupted into soft cheers of relief—

Only for that relief to die in their throats as Rose's fiancé, driven by rage,

Began firing his pistol at them.

The sound of gunshots—

Amplified by the Prism's enchantments—

Made even the calmest nobles flinch.

The chase, the sinking,

The splitting of the Titanic—

It all unfolded in a terrifying crescendo of music and visuals that made the viewers feel as though the ground beneath them trembled with the ship.

When the ship finally broke apart,

Plunging into the freezing dark sea,

Silence consumed the theater.

Silence~

Some covered their mouths.

Others sat motionless, eyes glistening.

The moment Jack gave his last smile to Rose and slipped beneath the icy waves,

Several women sobbed openly.

Sob~ Sob~ 

Sob~ Sob~ Sob~

Even some hardened knights blinked rapidly,

Trying to hold back tears.

As Rose was rescued,

Clutching the memory of Jack and the Heart of the Ocean around her neck,

A deep melancholy filled the air.

Then came the final scene—

An elderly Rose standing over the ocean,

Her wrinkled fingers releasing the diamond necklace into the depths where Jack rested.

The audience watched in reverent silence as the gem sank into the blue abyss.

And then, the last vision—

Rose's spirit walking through the grand halls of the Titanic,

Where the passengers who had perished waited with kind smiles.

The music swelled as she looked toward the clock,

And there stood Jack, waiting for her.

When their hands met and they kissed, the melody soared—

And the screen faded to black with the words.

"Nothing lasts forever—but love never dies."

As the lights came up,

No one spoke for several seconds.

The theater was filled with sniffles, wet eyes, and stunned faces.

Then, as if on cue, thunderous applause erupted—

Cheer~ Cheer~

Cheer~ Whistle~ Whistle~ 

Cheers, whistles, even cries of "Long live the King!" echoed through the hall.

It wasn't just a movie.

To the people of the Clover Kingdom,

It was magic in a new form—

A story that made them feel.

The theater remained utterly silent for a few lingering moments after the credits faded.

The air itself felt heavy, charged with emotion.

Then, as if the spell broke, the audience collectively exhaled—

A sound like a wave sweeping through the hall.

Tears streamed down many faces.

Even the proud nobles,

Who usually maintained a stoic composure, were visibly shaken.

A few of them dabbed at their eyes with embroidered handkerchiefs,

Pretending it was just "dust in the air."

The commoners, however, were far more open—

Sniffling, hugging, or clapping through tears.

A middle-aged woman in the front row sobbed softly, whispering,

"Why did he have to die…? He loved her so much…"

Beside her, a young couple held hands tighter than before,

The woman resting her head on the man's shoulder as if afraid she might lose him too.

Among the Magic Knights,

The reactions were surprisingly emotional.

Finral, who had brought his date, blinked rapidly and muttered,

"That… that was unfair, man. Couldn't the hero have lived just once?"

Even Asta, who was known for his energy, sat still—

His eyes glistening.

"Jack was strong,"

He said quietly.

"He didn't use magic, but he still protected her."

Across the hall,

Captain Charlotte clenched her gloved hand against her heart,

Moved by Rose's devotion.

"So that's love,"

She murmured softly.

"To hold on… even when the world sinks around you. Ben I want to meet you now."

Yami leaned back in his chair,

Taking a drag from a cigarette he wasn't supposed to light in the theater.

"Hmph. Didn't think I'd cry over a story. Damn kid knows how to pull the strings."

Nebra, who sat among the nobles,

Had tears rolling down her cheeks but didn't care who saw.

She leaned toward Noelle and whispered, her voice trembling,

"He showed us something we never imagined could exist. Feelings captured in light… This is more than magic."

Even Nozel, usually composed and unreadable,

Was sitting upright, jaw tight.

He didn't say a word—

But when the audience erupted into applause,

He joined them,

Clapping slowly but with genuine respect.

The applause spread like wildfire.

Thunderous cheers filled the room—

"Long live the King!"

"Long live Sir Ben!"

"Another one! Play another one!"

Children jumped from their seats in excitement, waving their ticket stubs as if they'd just witnessed a real adventure.

Merchants were already whispering about how many more people would pay to see this marvel.

As the enchanted lights of the theater brightened again,

The magic of the moment lingered.

For the first time in Clover Kingdom's history,

The people—

Noble and commoner alike—

Shared a single emotion, a single wonder.

They had all felt something together.

And somewhere, high above in the royal balcony,

Ben watched quietly with a small, satisfied smile.

This was not just entertainment—

It was the beginning of a new era.
