"Y'know... Lady Elise seems really happy today..."
"She's practically beaming... What happened to her?"
Elise and I walked through the corridors of the academy, with her hand in mine and our fingers intertwined.
As embarrassing as it is... I couldn't exactly refuse her after... that...
"Hey, Y/N."
Ah, it's Blair... and Prince Leonas...
"Greetings, Miss Y/N."
The prince's gaze stayed on Elise and I's hands before he looked back at me.
"Did something good happen yesterday?"
Something good... I mean it did feel nice... Hold on! Begone impure thoughts!!
I turn to Elise, and she averts her gaze, slightly blushing.
Prince Leonas narrows his eyes for a moment before chuckling. Blair on the other hand, doesn't seem to understand...
"Something good happened?"
A few knowing glances were exchanged between the people who knew.
"Oh yeah, how is it going with B/N?"
I quickly change the topic. The prince perks up at the mention of my brother.
"You're familiar with B/N?"
I mean, he's my brother...
"Yeah.. I met him the other day."
"I see..."
The corner of his lips tilt upwards unknowingly. Is he really the same character? I can see an imaginary tail wagging behind him.
"Leo! I'm back!"
Is that B/N? He goes to this school too?
His gaze meets mine as he gives me a wink before dragging the prince away..
"I wonder what that was about..."
Blair murmurs.
"Never mind, let's just head to class first."
She turns to Elise and I.
"Are you two coming?"
"We'll join you later. We have something to do first."
Elise answers before I say anything. Did we have something to do?
She drags me along with her to a more secluded corner.
"N/N... Are you close with that guy B/N?"
Don't tell me... she's jealous of my own brother? Well, he isn't exactly my brother in this world...
"I wouldn't say that close..."
"Hmm..."
I still have to explain my real identity to her... I wonder if she's going to freak out if I tell her the truth..
"N/N... you love me, right?"
"I do."
"But we can't make it official in public... you're still 'engaged' with Prince Leonas..."
Elise furrows her brows.
"I don't care about that..."
"You have to care... it's your image..."
She buries her head into my neck. Jeez, when did she become so needy?
"N/N, just promise me you'll stay with me."
