'Why is Ronsard with the rumored commoner lover of Kaichou?'

"Greetings Chrysostom-san, I was just touring Selestine-san around the campus..." Chrysostom pushed his rimless glasses to his nose at the Student Council Secretary's words.

"You mean, you got lost?"

'What will she think of me now?'

"We were not lost, okay? I told you, I'm just guiding her around."

Chrysostom scanned Selestine from head to toe that sent shivers to her spine.

'Nothing noteworthy so far...'

'What is he looking at?!!'

"Selestine-san, say hello to Chrysostom Damien Scheler. Chrysostom-san, Selestine Villin."

"He-Hello Scheler-sama..!"

"I greet you, Villin-san. I shall join in this tour of yours, can I?"

"Feel free to do so, Scheler-sama..!"

The supposed to be tour now consists of three people: Selestine, Ronsard and Chrysostom. Because of the two noblemen's help, mainly Chrysostom's, they finally arrived at the door of Selestine's classroom. Her classmates were beyond shocked seeing the most popular guys with the commoner they really hate.

'Why is Ronsard-sama and Chrysostom-sama with that lowlife?'

'Tch, she really is a slut!'

'First she seduced Kaichou, now Ronsard-sama and Chrysostom-sama?!'

'How daring of a lowly commoner!!'

'These girls are bullying Villin-san firsthand. And when did I get seduced? I just accompanied her because she got lost with this birdbrain Ronsard.'

'Why are they so rude to her? I feel sorry for Selestine-san, who has to bear so much humiliation just for studying here. Why isn't Kaichou doing something?'

'Here we go again with their repetitive antics and choice of words. Are they that dumb to be unable to think of other words?'

"Ronsard-sama, can you go to my estate this weekend? It's actually my birthday and I'd really like it if you'd come!" Cherrilene came and snaked her arm around Ronsard.

'I finally have the chance to talk to him!!'

Both noblemen ignored Cherrilene and focused their sights on the auburn-haired, emerald-eyed girl.

"I hope you won't get lost the second time, Selestine-san~"

"Know that if you need someone to ask for the way, cross Ronsard's name off your list because he's directionally challenged.

"Hey!!!"

"Well, we bid you adieu."

"Goodbye~!"

The two walked side by side to the Student Council Office. Just when they opened the door, an angry smile of their President was the first thing they saw. Beads of sweat ran down their back.

"I heard that you... helped her."

"Ye-Yeah, Kaichou, I helped her because she seemed to be lost..!"--Ronsard

"Because Ronsard was no help at all, I went out of my way to help them."--Chrysostom

"Is that so? What did you think of her?"

"She was an angel..! I mean, she was very cute-- no, I actually meant she is the epitome of beauty..!"

"I think... she won't lack in terms of beauty."

"And?"

"She really is Kaichou's beloved flower, Selestine-san that is."

'I needed their support in case many nobles might disapprove of my marriage with Sese-chan, but it seems that they fell already.'

'Just looking at Selestine Villin-san, I could see that she's actually very intelligent but a little too... timid. Is it because of those classmates of hers? I should write their names down...'

'I know Kaichou likes Selestine-san, but I can feel that I still have a chance. Selestine was so cute, like the chipmunk that I saw when I trained back at our estate.'

"It's been so long since all the Student Council officers got together~" Hestia said as she went in and sat on one of the free seats. "What's our agenda for today, Kaichou, Hisho?"

'The Heroine finally met these capture targets!! The plot is finally back on track!!'

***

In the grandiose and enormous palace in Daemonorops, a raven-haired man, with a crown on top of his head and a red cape hanging on his back, stared coldly at the woman desperately bowing her head to the floor. She had golden blonde hair and ruby eyes; the young boy kowtowing by her side had the same features as her.

"Speak."

"Do you really not remember me... jijue..?" The woman asked, tremor clearly implied in her voice.

"How dare you!! Firentia had died, a long time ago..!"

"Yo-Your Majesty, it is indeed me, your firstborn daughter. Don't I have golden blonde hair like Arcana Lynette-jōo and ruby eyes inherited from you?"

"Prove it." Nehemiah-ou spat coldly at the woman claiming to be her lost daughter who ran away right after the Queen's death, and she was approximately 237 years old.

'Jijue, please believe me..! I... I was just too guilty about hating Philippe for being the cause of hahaue's death..! And I didn't want an arranged marriage at all..! I already liked Nozen-dono..!'

"Just before I ran away, I left you my handwritten letter with my seal as the First Princess on it. I wrote 'Now that a male heir has been born, it seems that my role is now useless. I do bid you good luck and hope that you forget me forever...', didn't I Your Majesty?" The draconian king's pupils dilated.

'She really is my daughter!! Where was she this past hundred years?'

"Are you really?"

"Jijue..!" She stammered and broke down in tears. Her son hurriedly rubbed her back to comfort his mother.

"There, there, okaasan..."

"And what brought you here? Is that your son?"

"Yes, jijue, his name is Florence. His father is a certain Royal Knight." Firentia mussed. "And I returned because I heard that otōto's daughter actually arrived. Where is she..?"

"She's... dead."

"What? Isn't she the only heir to the throne? Isn't that why you gave her the title of Princess Royale?"

"She was abducted by unidentified assassins and got killed on the very same night, though we haven't found her corpse yet."

"About otōto and his wife's whereabouts? Have you found any clue, jijue?"

"An acquaintance told me that a suspicious group, which holds the power to shake the entire continent, have them."
