As both Ella and Prince Blaize got closer to the Dining Hall, the Prince suddenly stopped her.
"Excuse me, Ella. But since you know about my feelings for my fiancee, is it possible that you might be able to help me court her further?"
"Huh? Oh, what, of course, Princ- I mean, Blaize. That's not a problem. You can come to me for anything about Merula." Ella assured him.
"Thank you, Ella. It's just that sometimes Merula can be quite...quiet you see. At first, I thought she was afraid of me, but then I realised that was how she must have been raised. The aristocracy is quite strict with their mannerisms, so I hope you might be able to help me find out about Merula's likes and dislikes since you two are close." Prince Blaiz's face was visibly concerned but Ella could see his eyes were full of love for her friend.
"Of course! You don't have to say anything further. I gotcha back, Prince."
Ella gave him a wide smile before patting his back hard.
"Yes-ah-thank you." The Prince replied, trying hard to cover his coughs from Ella's hard hits.
"Now since we're basically in-laws, let's hurry to lunch. I'm bloody starving."

As the two of them entered the Dining Hall, people immediately started to murmur amongst themselves, some even pointing fingers. Thankfully Ella turned a blind eye, reminding herself these were just kids. Spotting Merula on an empty table, Ella hurried to hug her.
"Merula~ I missed you! And look who I found, your fiancee~?"
"I missed you too, El. Hello, Prince Blaize." At the sight of the Crown Prince, Merula turned into her usual cold self, but her eyes were nervous.
"May I join you, my fiancee, for lunch today?" Blaiz asked, giving a warm smile.
Ella nudged Merula as she slowly nodded.
"Thank you."
"Man, I'm starving! I'm gonna grab two plates for lunch." Ella excused herself wanting the couple to enjoy some private time. Giggling to herself as she observed the couple awkwardly interact, she piled on a mountain of cream pasta.
"You're in a happy mood. What's happened?" A familiar voice asked.
"Oh, hey, Wulff. Nothing much, just watching those two cuties." As she pointed to the awkward couple.
"Ah yes, the popular prince and the cold-hearted beauty. Quite fitting isn't it?"
"Definitely. So what have you been up to?" Ella asked, curious.
[I still haven't figured out Wulff's character. But...I don't think he's the bad guy...].
"I just went to buy some textbooks. There's a lot to cover for Ancient Ruins."
