Back upstairs in the ballroom, Cogsworth and Lumiere were talking with Mrs. Potts and their master. No one noticed that Belle wasn't around except... Adam. He was looking all around the ballroom, but he couldn't see her.
"Master," Lumiere asked, "what's wrong?" Adam looked back at his three reliable servants.
"Noticed anyone missing?" Adam asked. Cogsworth, Lumiere and Mrs. Potts looked around the ballroom.
"He's right, Belle's gone." Cogsworth said.
"Where did she go?" Lumiere asked.
"That's what I would like to know" Adam said. He wasn't worried または concerned, but he would like to know where she was. That's when Mrs. Potts spoke up.
"Sire, I saw her with her father a few 分 ago. I'll go see if she's still with him." Mrs. Potts walked over to where Maurice was standing. He seemed a little sad when Mrs. Potts approached him.
"Maurice?" she asked, he quickly turned around to see Mrs. Potts behind him.
"Mrs. Potts, I didn't realize あなた were there." Maurice said.
"You seem a little sad about something." Mrs. Potts said.
"Oh, don't worry," he said, "I'm nothing of the sort. So is there something that あなた wanted to ask me?"
"Well," she started, "I came over to see if Belle was with あなた and I can see she isn't."
"No, she's outside." Maurice said, "I just gave her her mother's locket. Right now, she's thinking about her mother."
"That's understandable," Mrs. Potts said. She could tell that it was a sensitive issue, "I was looking for her because the master is wondering where she is."
"Well, I was going to tell him, but he seems to be avoiding me." Maurice explained. Mrs. Potts tried to put on a reassuring smile.
"Well," she said, "considering what he did to あなた before when he was a beast, I wouldn't blame him."
"I don't blame him either, but if he wants to know where my daughter is, she's outside." Maurice told Mrs. Potts, she nodded her head and went to find Adam. She met up with Cogsworth and Lumiere and told them what she knew.
"Thinking about a loved one that has passed on, that's very hard to swallow." Lumiere sadly said.
"It very well is," Mrs. Potts said, "Anyway, Belle's father says she's outside. Where's the master?"
"He's outside," Cogsworth 発言しました as he pointed to the balcony, "he just went out onto the balcony; I'll go tell him." Cogsworth opened the door to the balcony and presented himself; Adam was leaning on the ledge.
"We've found her, sire." Cogsworth said, but Adam didn't move. "Master?" Cogsworth said, but Adam still didn't move. Cogsworth walked up to Adam, he noticed that his master was looking down at his hands. "Sire, I know it seems impossible, but we are free from the spell." He said, in case Adam was not believing it, but Adam still didn't look up. Cogsworth peeked around his right arm and saw a little white box in Adam's hands. Cogsworth recognized the box because he remembered that it held the queen's, Adam's mother's, rose ring.
"It would look wonderful on Belle's finger, wouldn't it Cogsworth?" Adam said, Cogsworth jumped a little when Adam finally spoke up.
"Forgive me, sire," Cogsworth said, "I didn't mean to peek."
"Don't worry about it." Adam 発言しました as he looked back at the ring, "I can't wait to see this ring on Belle's hand." Cogsworth could already see that his master wants to propose to Belle.
"Sire, are あなた sure あなた want to give Belle that ring?" Cogsworth asked, Adam could sense the tone in his voice, as if Belle wasn't worthy of such a ring.
"What are あなた trying to say, Cogsworth?" Adam said, with a little hint of annoyance. "Are あなた trying to tell me that Belle wouldn't be a perfect princess?"
"No, absolutely not, sire." Cogsworth quickly tried to explain, "I'm just saying that that ring was...uh...her most precious treasure." Adam quickly knew what Cogsworth was saying.
"Even when she's dead, she still scares you." Adam 発言しました with a sly smile.
"Well, besides you, sire," Cogsworth 発言しました softly, "there's no one else I fear the most. I was just trying to ask that you're going give Belle the most precious ring here?"
"I think...she...would understand why I am." Adam said, Cogsworth knew that the master's parents were a sensitive subject, so no one was allowed to mention their names in Adam's presence.
"Anyway, sire, in case あなた didn't hear me," Cogsworth said, changing the subject, "we've were told that Belle was outside on the grounds somewhere."
"I know." Adam said, Cogsworth didn't understand until Adam pointed down. Cogsworth looked over the rail and saw Belle sitting on one of the stone benches. "I wonder what might be the matter." Adam asked.
"Well sire," Cogsworth said, "Maurice told us that he gave Belle an item that belonged to her mother and...if she's like anyone, sire...including you...she's probably thinking about her own mother." Adam did understand how upsetting it is thinking about a family member that has passed away, but he didn't like seeing her so sad. So Adam just walked past Cogsworth and went downstairs to find out for himself if there was anything he could do to make Belle feel better. He went to the kitchen's backdoor and went outside. Adam saw Belle sitting on a bench 次 to the small river.
"I know you're there, Adam." Belle said, Adam sort of laughed and sat down 次 to her on the bench.
"How did あなた guess that?" He asked,
Belle giggled to herself and said, "You were staggering in your footsteps and, considering you've been a beast for who knows how long, you'll be staggering for a while." Adam saw the blue stone locket around Belle's neck. He knew she wasn't wearing it when she was dancing with him. He knew that was what her father gave her. Adam looked up into the bright blue sky with the shining sun. Belle saw his eyes flickering in the sun.
"Is something wrong, Adam?" Belle asked.
"No, not at all." he said, "It's just-"
"What?" Belle asked. Adam sighed as he continued to look into the blue sky.
"I've spent so long in the darkness," he explained, "I've almost forgotten how beautiful and how warm the sun really was." Belle tried to understand what Adam was telling her.
"The sun...can bring a smile to anyone's face." Belle said, it was all she could think of to say. She rested her head on Adam's shoulder. Adam gently turned his head and looked at Belle, he knew that Belle would be a far greater person to rule the lands than himself, since he was hiding for so long. He reached into his pocket and held the white box that held the ring. Adam was thinking of asking her to marry him, but he could sense that Belle was enjoying the moment of being near him. So, he let go of the box and held one of her hands.
Cogsworth, Lumiere, Mrs. Potts and Maurice could see, from the balcony, the 愛 and happiness between Belle and Adam.
"Those two," Mrs. Potts said, "I can see a lot happening in the future."
"What I see between Belle and that prince of hers," Maurice explains, "is the same happiness I saw between Veronica and I."
"Who's Veronica?" Lumiere asked.
"Belle's mother," Maurice smiled, "most beautiful woman before Belle was born."
"Sounds like she was a really important person." Mrs. Potts said.
"She was there for Belle when I wasn't able to," Maurice explained, "Belle is almost a mirror image of her mother except Veronica had hair blacker than any night sky and eyes greener than a pine forest, but before I start talking もっと見る about Veronica, I have to pay attention to Belle. Knowing her, in the morning she'll be thinking she's dreaming.
"All of us will be thinking that in the morning as well, including the master." Cogsworth said.
Everyone was happily enjoying his または her moments, especially Prince Adam and Belle, but no one could predict what would happen to them next.
"Master," Lumiere asked, "what's wrong?" Adam looked back at his three reliable servants.
"Noticed anyone missing?" Adam asked. Cogsworth, Lumiere and Mrs. Potts looked around the ballroom.
"He's right, Belle's gone." Cogsworth said.
