A fairytale of a beautiful maiden, the beloved Frost Flower Princess was supposed to be staying in the comfort of her castle masquerading as a cage to protect her from the dangers outside, imprisoned by her own brothers.
That is, until a mysterious...

"Nothing beats a good breakfast after workin' up a sweat!" Grim exclaimed, eyes gleaming with satisfaction after morning training. Y/n sat quietly beside Vanitas, her presence drawing his intense gaze, which lingered with a possessive energy clouding the air around them. Vanitas watched each of her delicate movements with the kind of focused admiration that made others hesitant to speak. "Grim craves protein—bring on the MEAT!"
Leona regarded Y/n with clear frustration. "So, like, what were you thinking, cuttin' a deal with that cephalo-punk? How stupid can you get?" His words made Y/n duck her head, but before anyone could comment, Vanitas fixed Leona with a cold stare, his expression tightening in a way that was both unsettling and protective.
Leona tried to play it off, his tone lighter, "Thank you, you, my room's all cramped. Though I don't have a problem with Herbivore, she's sleeping and biting me like an actual bunny."
Y/n shifted uneasily, embarrassed by the memory. Vanitas and Noéhad explained the story as the vampire, who sat nearby, offering her gentle support and casting a knowing glance toward Vanitas—he was well aware how fiercely possessive Vanitas became when jealous.
"The guys got these sea anemones on their heads..." Y/n sighed and began to explain.
As Y/n began her explanation, Leona's face became a mask of disbelief, trying to process what she was hearing. Vanitas's grip on Y/n's hand subtly grew firmer, his whole demeanor sharpening with the possessive protectiveness that marked his yandere nature. Nearby, Noé watched, half-amused and half-concerned, unfazed by Vanitas's intense focus but always ready to step in if needed.

After a moment, Leona burst out laughing. "Hah! You made a deal to free all the chumps who contracted with him to get ahead in their finals? BAH HA HA! That's rich. I shudder to imagine being that dumb," he said, laughing uproariously.
"Ahaha..." Noé let out a nervous chuckle from beside Vanitas, clearly amused but careful not to provoke anyone.
Vanitas, sitting close to Y/n, huffed with a sharp edge to his voice. "At least I agree with you about them being utterly foolish." His gaze flickered toward Leona, calm but carrying an unspoken warning beneath his charm, the yandere possessiveness barely held in check.
"Rumor has it that Azul's study guide is the real deal, though," Ruggie recalled thoughtfully. "I kinda get why people would wanna get their hands on that."
