Lily was biting her clothes in her room, and Sophia sitting against her.
"Sly little bitch, I should heal her till she's old."
"Miss Lily, a counter point, I believe you should calm down."
"Did you see? Did you see that bitch?" Lily growled, her brown eyes tinted a madder red in rage. "She came all the way to our class with his hand in hers! She came over there just to show off and act cute. And young master too, how dare he stick with her that long?"
Sophia held in a chuckle at Lily's words.
"I think you're overreacting."
"You don't get it lady Sophia. Young master told me to be by his side and still, grrrrr!"
"The towel, don't maul the towel!"
Lily calmed down and sighed.
"I have to show her. That bitch…"
Sophia tilted her head, she definitely did not have a good feeling about any of this matter.
"What will you be doing?"
"I will show her what happens when someone crosses me."
"Um…"
"Hehe… hehehehe… hehehehehe…."
Though he was rooms away, poor knight Alec couldn't help but feel a tinge of fear strike his mind and heart all at once.

"Afraid of the princess, huh?"
Dawn was seated with Adelia in her room. As her aide and her friend, she spent most of her time in the academy with Adelia herself.
And now they had gotten rather close.
Unsuspectingly, those words left Dawn's lips as she sighed.
She immediately covered her mouth and looked around.
It was… too late.
"What what what?" Adelia spoke, her eyes thin and her smile wide. "What was that, miss dawn?"
Dawn shuddered and stepped behind. But once Adelia was set off even the might of seven elephants couldn't hold her back. The number came around from a real-life incident!
"N-nothing much…"
"You won't call Hoya or Ana princess, you always call them lady, what princess are you talking about? Hum?"
Adelia crawled over her bed and pushed into Dawn, while the angel, flabbergasted, had no choice but to crawl back.
"Tell me tell me."
Dawn went back.
-Thud.
But ran out of space behind her.
Adelia now sat straight in front of her, with no other option to move or no other play to make, she had no choice but to escape anymore.
"Now, what princess are you talking about?"
"N-no one, really."
"It's the lady of Acacia! The duchy's princess sure is something else, right?"
Dawn bit her lips.
This forever fluttery girl was way too sharp when it came to matters of romance. She almost didn't like how it was going on.
"So what is this about? Why are you afraid of the princess?"
"That is not the case, I was just saying."
"HAH!"
Adelia gasped. Dawn cried.
"It's about Romanccccee!!!"
Adelia almost hugged herself silly but stopped nigh of doing so. She slowly grasped both of Dawn's hands and smiled.
"Miss Dawn! Tell me, tell me now! What is it? Is it her brother? No that can't be, maybe her husband—OH! You like Eugene Hall?"
"How is this even happening?"
"Science of deduction."
"Deducing what? How? There's no science here."
"You underestimate me, miss Dawn."
Adelia heaved a loud sigh and then wiped her forehead.
She sat down next to Dawn.
Dawn was slightly surprised, was she backing off this easy?
None would be more incorrect than thinking that way. Backing down was the last thing Adelia was going to do.
"What is going on? Tell me now!"
"T-there's really not much."
Adelia puffed her cheeks.
Then, she held an evil grin and raised her hand.
"You are forcing me to do this."
"What?"
"Hiyah! Tickle attack!"
Adelia started assaulting Dawn's sides with crazy tickles.
"Eek!"
It was super effective!
The tickler and the ticklee engaged in the ticklish tickling as time trickled by and eventually the two tiredly tipped over.
"Haha, haah…"
"Tell me… I want gossip…"
"Fine, fine…"
Dawn sat up and wiped her forehead. Excited Adelia did the same, a grin pasted on her face.
"Then?"
Dawn sighed.
"It's just that… I have been involved with that guy from before the princess…"
"Hah!"
Adelia gasped.
"And still he… he didn't even break things off."
"Horrible! Horrible horrible horrible!"
"Right? He's scum in the name of a human."
"Human? He's a demon!"
"Oh you knew?"
"I meant that figuratively, miss Dawn."
Dawn sighed.
"Right, same totally."
"And now I hear he's also been involved with other girls."
Adelia slapped the bed.
"We should kill him."
"No no, that's going too far… I wonder what I should do…"
Crossing her arms, the green haired girl looked at her friend.
A slight sense of confusion had filled her.
"Do you want to end things?"
Dawn looked down.
The way Noa had appeared in front of her and declared war was clear in her mind.
It was something she definitely didn't like.
And now separation too, was a little…
"I don't. But I also don't like the way things are now. If he's going to do something then he should choose. I'll ask him to choose—"
"—NO!"
Adelia vehemently shook her head.
"Are you stupid, why would you do that?"
"T-then?"
"As things are now, he'll obviously choose the lady of the duchy without even thinking twice. I barely know them and even I can tell that he's head over heels for her. Heck, I bet if she tells him he's always been a girl he'll accept it."
"I don't think…"
"You underestimate love, miss dawn."
"Is that so…?"
"Anyway, what you need is not acceptance."
Adelia crossed her hands once more and grinned out loud.
"Just placing your hand down and asking for clarification or closure won't help. You don't have such simple relationships."
"You know a lot…"
"I am in a similar situation. As much as I love Hoya and Ana, they are both enemies."
Dawn learned the horror of a sweet girl for the first time.
"What you need, miss Dawn."
Adelia looked.
Dawn gulped.
"Is war."
