Although it's been weeks since El's last performance, Leo continued to send letters to him via an eagle called 'Sephira'.

Sephira is a smart eagle and she wants meat everytime she comes by, so that's a bit troublesome. But the Prince used her to ensure the safety of his letters, since nobody except Reo knows about Elijah being his friend.

System Happy stumbled upon Leo alot andl befriended him three days ago. System Happy was watching Yura's every move and it seems she wanted to bring back the Underground Society.

Yura is secretly gathering members and System Happy is happy.

He assumed that Yura will be bitter about Eliza not choosing her, but it seems she's more than bitter.

Her main objective is to capture the Prince and have his babies. That way the Rebellion can populate the Kingdom once Leophylis is crowned as the new king.

What a big dream.

System Happy knew that the Second Prince will support Leophylis in spring cleaning for Rebellion members.

He's using his status as Reonyta Lydia's teacher, he teached Reo anything he could. Even slipping some hints about a rebellion in their lessons.

He's sure is Reo is paying attention to his lessons, Reo will be able to stop the Rebellion and Yura.

"System."

System Happy whipped his head to the source of that deep voice. He found out that it's Ivan Aliga.

"Yes ?"

Ivan frowned. "What have you been teaching the Second Prince?"

System Happy whistled innocently. Ivan's face grew rigid. His eyes darkening.

"Hm~ something about spotting an anomaly within your area ? In this case, the castle?"

Ivan pressed his lips into a thin line.

"And why is that?"

System Happy chuckled. He played with his braids for distraction.

"As a prince, even though he's second in line for the throne, you must be aware of your surrounding. Maybe, in a meeting, you'll find some suspicious nobles ? Or someone who wanted to plan a rebellion?" He snickered, remembering a noble named George who planned to usurp the king's throne.

Ivan's face returned to its stoic mode. He narrowed his eyes at System Happy. "Rebellion, huh"

System Happy nodded.

"Are you aware of any activities?"

System Happy kept his silence for moment. He planned to annoy the General just this once ! It'll be a record.

"Answer me."

System Happy chuckled at this impatient man. "Why do you ask me ? I'm just a mere teacher, hm?"

Ivan opened his mouth, about to say something, when System Happy cutted him.

"Anyways, it'll be useless if you ask that to a Rebellion member."

Ivan's eyes widened. In a flash, he grabbed System Happy's neck. His eyes furious.

"Ha-ha. What...is this ?" System Happy grabbed Ivan's wrist.

"Why do you rebel against the King?" Ivan asked in a calm tone, which chilled System Happy to the bones.

Crap, this guy misunderstood something. Shouldn't have said that.

"W-why...do ...you as..sume i'm rebel..ling?"

Ivan scowled. "That sentence earlier."

System Happy's eyes widened. "L-look, stop ch-choking me. Y-you misunderstood..."

Ivan narrowed his eyes before he loosened his grip on System Happy's neck. "Tell me one reason why i shouldn't kill you right here right now ?"

System Happy sent a grateful smile towards Ivan. "Now, now. Don't get so rough on me so suddenly okay ? I was just pointing out the fact that asking things about rebellion to a rebellion member will do nothing. Because they will deny it. That's common sense...General Ivan"

Ivan sighed. He released his hold on System Happy's neck. "Is System Happy your real name ?"

System Happy whistled innocently again, he turned around and completely ignored the General.

Ivan has a tick mark on his forehead as he gave System Happy a death glare. If look can kill, System Happy would surely be kneeling on the floor, clutching his poor weak heart.

System Happy walked in a room with Reo in it. He was steadying the book on top of his head while walking elegantly.

System Happy tapped him on the shoulder and whispered, "Boo"

Reo squeaked and tripped on his own foot. Resulting in his fall.

"Hey !"

System Happy snickered. He sat on a random chair, resting his head on his palm.

"Teacher !"

"Now,now~ we'll continue this later. Tell me, did you found it ?"

Reo scrunched his face. "I did"

"Where's the stuff?"

Reo frowned. "Teacher, i feel like we're doing a shady business" But nonetheless, he gave System Happy a bundle of paper.

"Well technically we are. But have it your own way, student"

"But why the list of the nobles attending in our monthly meeting?"

System Happy smiled widely. "Oh~ did you know that a member of that meeting missed it last month?"

Reo raised an eyebrow. "It's Countess Uli" He stated it like it was obvious, which is true.

"Of course you would know. You're the one who oversee that meeting behind the shadows, yes ?" System Happy said, he ruffled his student's hair.

"Yes..." Reo nodded slowly.

"You just became the oversee for one year right ?"

Reo nodded. What's his Teacher on about ?

"Did you know that, Countess Uli, did not attend the meeting every two year?"

Reo's eyes widened in realization. Everything System Happy ever teached him came into his mind. How his teacher used words to indicate the tension brewing inside the castle, the impatient nobles in their monthly meeting, even the rebelling servants !

"Do- do you think...?"

System Happy's smile faltered. It only confirmed Reo's suspicion once more. His face grew pale. "Then, i must inform Big brother !!"

System Happy grabbed Reo's arm. "Don't be so hasty about this. Your Brother's coronation is just a month away. Now don't you remember that there will be another monthly meeting tomorrow ?"

Reo took deep breaths and let them out. He eyed his teacher. Suddenly, System Happy opened both of his eyes to show his student the seriousness in his words. He couldn't let his student make a mistake and fall on their trap.

Reo unintentionally gasped when he saw his teacher's eyes.

Why...why do you have the same eyes as my brother's..? Teacher..?

"It's the same.." Reo murmured. His eyes widened. He then yanked his arm off System Happy's grip.

System Happy quickly closed his eyes before the other could see it again. But alas, Reo is persistent.

"Teacher ? Are you related to my brother ? I...i know that he's n-not born from my mother but another woman...i—"

System Happy placed a finger in front of Reo's lips. His smile turned serene. "Now, that's for another time. Let's not leisurely chatter and continue planning."

"But, Teacher !!"

System Happy left his seat and waved at Reo. He didn't want to deal with this right now. He just wanted some space okay ?

So what if he has the same eyes as Leophylis ?

System Happy smirked. Oh, of course. They are not related. It's much more closer than just being 'related'.

Right now System Happy wanted to cuddle his host to death.

( う-´)づ

El was cooking dinner when System Happy came home. He eyed System Happy's disheveled state and sighed.

"Did a woman catched your eyes?"

System Happy's eyes widened. He quickly shook his head. "No no no no, never ! I was just frustated, that's all"

"Hmm.."

"I'm serious, it's true ! Host is my one and only!"

El snickered. "I was just joking. You took it very seriously. But is what you say true ?" El continued to cook. He tapped a red magic stone and it absorbs all of the fire he used for cooking.

"Woah, this magic stone is more useful than a stove"

"It's true. If i lied, you would've known right ?" System Happy frowned.

"I'm not a lie detector, but i know when people lie. After all, for a grand schemer like me, that should be needed"

"Why do you call yourself a Grand schemer though?" System Happy asked. He sat on the chair while watching his host prepare their dinner.

"Because i consider the people i schemed for, humans. Living beings"

System Happy raised an eyebrow. Prompting El to continue, which made El sigh.

"You know, in my last life, lots of intelligent and rich people disregard other people for their goal. Treating them like they are just an empty vessel without a soul. People like that also disregard the fact that they are also human beings who can think and choose their own destiny for themselves"

"People like that often failed their schemes because of an unexpected person who became a mole in their plans. Just because that person changed their course of action and the schemer didn't expect them to do so. That's why to become a grand schemer you must first acknowledge the people in your plans and your target are humans, living beings. In case their actions did not go in your plan, you'll have a back up that'll keep you safe"

System Happy nodded. "You are awesome, El"

"Right ?—" El almost dropped the tray if he didn't catched himself at the right time. "What did you call me ?'

System Happy rested his head on his palm while grinning at El's tomato face. "El, come here. I'm hungry"

El pouted. "hmph"

He placed the tray in front of System Happy and sat across him.

"Let's eat"

"Yeah"
