As expected, when the door was pushed open Miss Ella was spit-out from it.

"Ella!"

Hannah shouted excitedly while wearing a wide grin on her face.

"Humph!" Ella pouted. "Good grief, you just made me your convenient errand-girl!" She joked out.

"Haha, sorry about that, anyway Princess Liya has a present for you," Hannah announced with a wink.

"Good grief, President Hannah. It was supposed to be a surprise," said Princess Liya with a sigh.

"Waaah!" Hannah cried out. "Sorry, Princess!" She said her sorry immediately.

Most of the people inside the room laughed at their president's blunder.

Although no need to call her with her status, most of them like calling her Princess than Vice President. Especially when they were inside the Student Council room.

Ella glanced an eye to her cousin who was currently unwrapping a box.

Nicholas, Jura, and the other male members of the Student Council gulped and acted like a true gentleman.

After all, it was Miss Ella! The famous girl in the empire. Together with the empire's princess, they got all the glory for being together with them inside the room.

It was a dream come true for all of them. Even though some of them were princes from the other kingdom and leading families of the empire, these two were just beyond their imagination.

When the smell of her favorite snack wafted to her nose, Ella beamed and scurried towards Princess Liya.

"Waaaah! Super Sunny Ice cream, thank you, Liya!" She screamed and took a seat beside her cousin.

"Haha… Yosh, Yosh!" Princess Liya giggled and brushed Ella's hair.

"....."

"Wha--!"

Cinde gawked in disbelief. That Ella who was like a mountain a while ago-- acted like a pet beside the princess!!! In any case, they looked adorably close to each other. For some reason, the princess was acting like a big sister towards her.

"What kind of magic is this!?" She thought.

But she noticed something unbelievable, Cinde could not believe that the princess was so identical to Miss Ella! No, they looked like twins.

They even have the same hair colors. Wait, wasn't the Empress also had the same hair color as them? If her memories served her right, their kind originated from the Mangrove Kingdom. Could it be… Miss Ella is a royalty!?

Cinde gaped further. Unbelievable! Her thought. If she was royalty from the Mangrove Kingdom, technically, she was a princess in the empire too! After all, the current empress was her relative.

No wonder she had this royalty aura around her. But even though she was a royal, she was still looking at her like they were of the same status.

Compared to the Royalties, the great families were a step behind them in status.

Right at this moment, they noticed a stunned wolf girl.

"Oh, who is she?" One of the males asked.

"Uhm, Rea, is she the new student?" Princess Liya asked her cousin who was about to take a dig-in from her Super Sunny Ice cream.

"New student?" The male asked again. "No wonder it's my first time to see her in the academy, fufu," he said while brushing his medium-length golden hair.

"Yes, a new student is coming, but I don't think it's her Prince Damien."

Hannah was the one who replied. She already knew who was the new student. But Ella was together with a different person. Hannah wondered.

Seeing Cinde, Hannah could guess that she was from great families. The Lupine family of the Canine Sect to be exact. She even saw her in the recent competition.

"Oh is that so? Fufu, then who is this lost puppy?" Prince Damien asked again while sending a wink to Cinde.

On the other hand, Cinde was knitting her brows. She felt a piercing gaze from this person. A very unkind feeling.

"She's a friend of mine," Ella suddenly said to enlighten their puzzlement.

Seeing Cinde wearing a troubled face, "Sorry Liya, Hannah, I have to go. That person, I mean the new student… well, he was in trouble at the moment… haha," Ella laughed listlessly.

"Uhm, Miss Ella, who is this new student that you mentioned? And that friend of yours, I think it's better if you left her here so that we can befriend her. What do you Nicholas, Jura?" Said Prince Damien as he asked Nicholas and Jura.

Though they recognized her. "Isn't she from the Lupine family? That Ember's twin" whispered Nicholas into Jura's ears.

Jura knitted his brows upon seeing Cinde. 'This girl… I remembered her being close to that person. Wait, aren't the Lupine twins teamed-up with that person that time? I need to ask her if she knew about him,' he thought with a grin.

After seeing his nod, "I agree with Damien," Nicholas seconded.

"Kuku looks like Prince Damien has an interest in your friend, Miss Ella. I don't think it hurt someone to let them know each other," said Jura.

"Right, I think it's good to have more friends," said Princess Liya.

Ella glanced at Cinde. Then she sighed after seeing her expression. "Uhm, the new student is a cousin of mine. And sorry Liya, this friend of mine is a shy girl."

"Fufu, a shy girl, huh. It was the most adorable type," Prince Damien giggled.

But,

(Tok! Tok! Tok!)

Another knocking sounds resounded.

"Cinde, can you open it?" Since she was near the door, Ella decided to ask her.

She nodded and opened it hurriedly.

When they permitted the visitor, Ella and Cinde were stunned.

"Crimson?!"

"Eh?!"

"Oh, it's fancy to meet you two here," Crimson said after a quick scan inside the room. But in his mind, 'I'm safe!' Now that Rea was present in the room, she could clear up his name.

For some reason, after telling them that she was a relative of Miss Ella, they started to fly towards this place. At first, they didn't trust his words. He showed them the Armor Artefact that she gave him. Still, these people thought it wasn't enough proof.

But after showing them his ID card, with the name Crimson Agila, they started to ask more questions regarding his relationship with Rea.

Perhaps Agila was a well-known surname in the Empire.

The Senior Leader of the Department of Security came together with his men and Yman.

"Uh, good day, Council People." The Senior Leader greeted them.

"Mhm, same to you people from the Department of Security. Rather, may we know of the reason for your coming here?" Princess Liya was the one who replied.

The Senior Leader nodded and told them that he wanted to ask Miss Ella if the suspect with them was telling the truth.

"Yeah, he's my cousin, Senior Leader. Sorry to trouble you. I gave you his picture as I was afraid that he lost his way inside the campus. He was a new student who only came today. However, because of misunderstanding…" a brief pause, they noticed Miss Ella glanced at the Wolfmen girl.

"...uhm it was my fault that the people misunderstood him as a molester!" Cinde continued Ella's claim.

After they heard Miss Ella's words. The Senior Leader finally understood why she handed his picture to them. He was like a lost cat. Since their department was already looking for him, she took advantage of it by giving him his picture.

The Senior Leader thought that Miss Ella was a wise girl for doing it. It isn't like they could blame her. After all, it was their job to catch any suspicious individual inside the campus.

It just happened that the other students were overreacting about it.

Well, he could not blame them as there are some kinds of suspicious happening on the campus lately.
