“Why do I feel like everyone’s staring at us?” Anastasius asked hesitantly, wearing an awkward smile. They are currently on their way to the Principal’s office and everyone just couldn’t keep their eyes off the sight of their beloved Crown Prince, walking along and talking casually with an adorable stranger.
“I can’t feel any stares though?” Charles said, as if brushing it off. Maybe he’s just too used to it? Yuu guessed.
“By the way, are you sure you’ll be okay with your dorm building? I can always give you a room in the Golden Hawk.” The Golden Hawk is the symbol of the Corielle Kingdom, so it’s only obvious that the dorm building that was named after it is exclusively reserved for the royal family/relatives of the royal family in the Kingdom. They’re a big family after all.
“I’m fine with it as I’ll ever be! I haven’t seen my building yet but I’m sure it would be beautiful enough. Besides, a mere transferee from a small Kingdom staying there would cause a lot of trouble you know?â€
“Oh you wouldn’t be in trouble for anything, for soon enough you will also become a part of the royal family.” Charles reassured with a suggestive smile. What does he mean by that? Anastasius asked himself, ignoring his instincts telling him what it really means.
“Here we are.” Charles said as he open the door for Anastasius.
An audible gasp can be heard in the hallway as the students take a hold of the image in front of them. Their beloved Crown Prince, lowering himself for that stranger by opening the door for him.
The ladies were jealous, sure enough, but they find Anastasius too cute to raise a protest. The male students were affected differently though, they were almost drooling at Anastasius. He doesn’t look like a girl in their eyes for his beauty surpassed those of a girl’s. He may be adorable at first glance but when you take a second look, you’ll see that underneath his cute appearance lies a sultry aura. Was it because of his cat eyes? Or his pink soft lips? Maybe his petite body under the uniform that hugs it perfectly? His thin waist that seems easy to break if you hold him rough enough. His pinkish pale skin that they think would immediately redden if he were put in an embarrassing situation, or engulfed with bashfulness; that makes them wonder if it would also flush in crimson when pressed with another body.
Their gazes were cut off immediately when they felt the Crown Prince’s intense stare on them. He wasn’t glaring, what he wore was scarier than that. So all of the male students immediately looked the other way with the lingering chill on the spine they got from the Crown Prince’s threatening look.
And as usual, Anastasius was too ignorant of it and mistook the stares for a whole different reason. He thought that they were mad at him because he’s being casual with Charles, little did he know that the stares he mistook as the critic’s actually belong to the wolves.
But Charles wouldn’t let him know that. He wouldn’t let anything harm Anastasius on his watch. Anastasius is his favorite toy, after all.
“Good Morning Mr.Clarimières, we meet at last!” The principal greeted
with a relaxed smile. The principal was rather young looking, he looks laidback and cool, totally different from what Anastasius imagined him to be. They said he’s in his 40’s… But he looks so young! That’s unfair! Yuu thought.

“Good Morning, Sir!” Anastasius bowed then greeted back, wearing the same relaxed smile.
‘Wow, it almost looks like they’re standing in front of a mirror’ The student assistants around them thought.
The Principal, Mr. Wells, invited him and the Charles to sit. Mr. Wells was the childhood friend of the King of Corielle so he’s almost like an uncle to Charles, that explains his familiar attitude to Charles.
Their discussion about the Academy’s facilities, the subjects Anastasius will take based on his magic element, as well as his schedule took quite a long time. And it’s because the principal talks too slow! He’s too relaxed for his own sake! They only finished the conversation when one of the student assistants tapped him on the shoulder and mildly scolded him. They were still respecting him though, in fact, their relationship looks adorable, they look like a bunch of strict children scolding their troublesome father.
“We apologize in his stead, he doesn’t learn you see.” One of them said while bowing, wearing a tired yet fond expression.
“Oh no no, It’s really okay-“ Anastasius reassured but he was cut off by the Principal’s voice saying.
“Oh he’s finally here!”
When Anastasius turned around. He saw a very beautiful man.
‘He must be the Batch Representative…’ Yuu thought.
The man is tall and huge, probably as tall as Charles. His hair is long and silky in the color of silver. If Anastasius only followed the tradition in their country which is growing one’s hair long to represent nobility, he thought it would look like it. Was he from our country as well? Yuu initially wondered but the question quickly dissolved when he saw the man’s clothing. It looks like a Japanese traditional clothing! So there are alternative country for Japan as well! Yuu rejoiced, it has been a long time since he saw someone in yukata.
The man’s eyes were sharp and almost scary looking, but for Anastasius it looks cool. He’s sophisticated and he moves in a careful manner, completely opposite of his physique. Usually, buff men find it hard to move elegantly because of their stiff muscles but the man in front of him seemed as if he was walking through the wind.
“Forgive my tardiness, I am Clay Yoshioka, the Class Representative.”
