*I'll be adding another antagonist for Pomefiore Arc, for the MC of course and her future self will help her

*Since when was this story good anyway?

- Kingdom of Thorns, Barbatos's room -

Luke and Silver were already sleeping from how tired they are while the demoness look over them, brushing their hair. Malleus, Sebek, and Lilia are busy doing something for the castle for the moment, but they promised they'll be back anytime soon...

     "Sorry for the wait, (Name)," Malleus entered the room. He was in his prince attire and a crown adorning his head, "How's your stay in this castle? Are you enjoying?" He asked, taking a seat beside her.

     She nodded, "Yes. It's a new place for me after all," she smiled at the Prince. "I like the atmosphere here. Quiet and calm, it's peaceful here, to say the least," she added.

*Beep* "(Name), where the fuck are you? Heard you're not staying in the school," Leona texted her and yes he got her number from Deuce around the last semester's tests. Malleus peeked from her shoulder as she typed back to the Prince of Afterglow Savanna, saying, "I'm in Briar Valley, the Kingdom of Thorns. Currently with Malleus-san, why?" She asked...

     "Fascinating..." Malleus commented, watching her type back to Leona. "I still can't handle such a device like that. I'm having a hard time adjusting myself," he added.

     (Name) looked at Malleus with a confused look and then showed her phone, "You're not used to using a phone?" She asked. Malleus nodded, "Yes. I do have a high respect for the ones who understand the purpose of that thing since I can't even understand how to use it," he chuckled from his obliviousness.

     "That's alright. I can teach you some basics," she told the Prince and showed him her phone. "As you can see here..."

- Scarabia Dorm, Hallway -

Kalim has taken Yuu and Grim away after they finished training, with Jamil calling that they need to do homework yet failing to do so since they're already gone from his sight. Everything in Scarabia was covered in gold, which made Grim wonder why...

     "Is it that surprising? I've heard that my Dad donated to this school to brighten the dorm I'm gonna be accepted with," Kalim stated. Yuu and Grim were surprised because of it, "Just how rich are you?! Are you a Prince-like Leona?" Grim yelled.

     Kalim shook his head, "No, silly! The Asim household aren't royalties, but like we're rich like them. I have a few cousins that are royalties tho," he shared. Yuu raised an eyebrow, "Isn't your last name Al-Asim? Does Al mean anything?" He asked.

In ancient times, al in the ancient language of their hometown means son. Every male born in their family is meant to have Al as a sign to be called as son of the Asim family. His name reads as Kalim, the son of the Asim family, both Yuu and Grim are amazed that there is still a lot to learn in Twisted Wonderland...

     "If you're a rich guy, then you guys might have a palace of your own?" Grim questioned. Kalim shook his head again, "Nope, but we only have 100 servants back in our home," he replied.

     "What do you mean only 100?! I only have Yuu, yanno?!" The cat retorted, surprised that they have a lot of servants. Yuu scrunched his face from Grim's statement, "The fuck Grim? I'm not your servant, you little shit," he told the cat, who teasingly grinned at him.

     "It's natural to have a lot of servants if you have a bunch of siblings, you know? I have over 30... Um... 40 siblings, I think?" Kalim told them, scaring the two Ramshackle students because of it. "I'm not sure how many siblings I have since I stopped counting when it went 30. Don't look at me like that! I assure you I remember their name and faces~!" He assured.
