"Miss Liza, have you gotten everything?" Liza's maid questions her one last time. Liza tops halfway and turns back frowning. 

"I've gotten everything, Mila. Look, I've got a blanket, a pillow, and a soft toy to hug when I sleep," Liza smiles as she shows her bag to her maid. The maid sighs and looks at the floor—she had forgotten what her miss is like. 

Liza pats Mila's shoulders to comfort her. "I'll be okay, it's the first day so I have to hurry," Liza speaks in a hurry. The maid looks up at Mila and they lock eyes. Liza removes her hands and turns around to leave.

"But you're going to the national Kazuma school, so many royals will be there," Mila's words stop Liza halfway again. "What did I tell you, Mila, It doesn't matter..." Liza stops and turns to face Mila, "...what others think, It only matters what you think," both of the ladies speak in sync.

The maid watches Liza go out feeling proud. Mila smiles warmly which could be seen by Liza who was trying to get a last look at Mila from the car before she departs. 

Mila thinks to herself: You're kind Miss Liza. I wish I could accompany you but soon we'd have to part ways. I can't help but worry. I want to do all I can while I can.

*(=^・^=)*

Liza enters the hallways full of children of her age. She passes through avoiding eye contact with anyone—unbothered. People start gossiping among themselves.

"Hey, hey who is she?"

"I don't know. A freshman probably."

"Woah, I've never seen such a beauty."

"I'd like to get her number."

"Dumba*s, go ahead and do it."

"She's pretty as heck, damn."

"Let's be friends with her."

"Look, look she's entering our class. We're in the same class."

"Lucky us~"

"Damn, you lucky brats."

Liza enters the class and walks towards the board to see her seating—she pretended to—she already knew her seat. The people who were already present in the class were shocked. Their mouths were left wide open. 

All of their eyes were on the girl who had just entered their classroom. She had blue hair reaching her chest, blue eyes that were in coordination with her hair, and her face looked innocent which was backed up by her porcelain white skin just like a cat. The black uniform of their school looked good on her and the people who hated it suddenly felt like it was the best.

Liza turned around to see their wide-open mouths. Liza stopped to look at them realizing they all were staring at her. "Mosquitos and flies are increasing at an alarming rate, please go ahead and close your mouths if you'd like to," Liza lowered her tone at the end and glanced one last time at them.

She walked towards her seat—yes, the seat that most of the characters in the anime and manga have—the one at the extreme end next to the window. She placed her bag and made herself comfortable in her seat. A small crowd had been formed outside the classroom observing the lady's actions.

They were waiting for her next move. Liza placed her head on her desk and closed her eyes, everyone was waiting, she didn't move for some time and realization hit the people.

"She's... sleeping."

All the excitement hit bottom rock but some still had hope, a sound was heard from behind. The crowd started moving and a boy was revealed. He had brown hair and a handsome face. The boy walks into the classroom and stops as his eyes land on a cat sleeping comfortably and shamelessly. He chuckles under his breath and mumbles to himself, "weirdo."

He does the same and walks to the board to find his seat. He turns back, everyone's eyes still on him and sits next to the girl. Everyone was shocked but only one thing could cross their minds right now, "What an exciting couple."

The boy stares at the girl curiously smirking. Finally, after a while of consideration, he lifts his hand to remove her hair from her face to see this amusing creature. Just as his hands were a few centimeters away from Liza's face, her eyes shut open and she grabs his hand quickly.

"Who are you?" Liza questions the boy hissing to stop his moments. 

The boy was fascinated by her moves and could feel that something exciting was waiting. He smiles at her as Liza waits for his response. Liza scoffs at the boy who had turned a deaf ear to Liza's question. "Excuse me but who. are. you?" Liza speaks slowly breaking the train of thoughts the boy had.

"Oh, sorry. Nice to meet you, I'm Aida Yamamoto," The boy speaks while staring at Liza who was grabbing his hand. Liza retreats her hand letting go of her tight grip awkwardly. 

Liza's thoughts: So this is my soon-to-be fiancé and the one and only son of a bi*ch who Liza fell in love with.
