"Okay, students. It seems that the votes have been collected."

The council president announced.

"Your new president... please welcome Miss Alisa."

Applause sounded from below the stage.

As Alisa makes her way on stage, she smirks at Elise and Blair.

"Greetings, students. I am your new council president. I will make sure to do our best to lead the council."

She bows.

"Tsk."

I hear Elise mumbling something from under her breath. She must really want that role.

I guess that means I owe a favour to Alisa, huh... knowing how she's the heroine and all that, it can't possibly be that bad.

"President. We've collected the votes. The winner is Prince Leonas."

"Are you sure? In that case..."

I stare down at Miss L/N's vote.

"Count this one as a hundred votes."

"Uhm... that defies the purpose of holding an election..."

I shake my head.

"It's still an election. Just a rigged one."

My accountant sighs as we take the results down.

After the speech, we head to check out the student council room.

Even though I'm not a part of the council, they somehow have a seat reserved for me...

"Y/N."

"Hm? What's up, Alisa?"

"I'd like to use my favour..."

She twiddles her thumbs, averting her gaze.

"Oh... sure... what is it?"

"Could I please..."

I wonder what she wants if she's this nervous..

"Could I please steal you tomorrow? Just the two of us."

"What?! No way!"

When did Elise get here?

"First of all, she's my personal servant. She's supposed to be by my side."

"Uhm... Elise..."

"I understand that, Lady Alphonse. However, a day isn't too much to ask for. After all, you nobles have several servants lining up to serve you."

"You-!"

Uh...

"Elise, why don't you let her do it? I'll make it up to you, promise."

"N/N..."

Her imaginary puppy ears droop down.

I feel bad, but it's too late to back out now...

"So, tomorrow, right?"

Alisa nods.

"I'll pick you up at your dorm."

With that, we head back to our dorms for the day.

"N/N..."

"Elise? What's wrong?"

"Are you really going to be with her for the entire day tomorrow?"

"Yeah..."

"..."

She tugs on the sleeve of my top.

As we walk through the hallways, no words are exchanged. Only a few occasional dejected glances from Elise that made me feel guilty.

When we had reached her dorm, I was ready to leave to my own.

"N/N... please stay...?"

She does her puppy-dog eyes attack.

It only made me feel worse about it...

"Sure."

As I entered the room, she locked the door behind her.

"Elise?"

"N/N..."

She pins me against the wall. Flustered by her actions, I let out a small squeak.

"Elise? What are you doing?"

"N/N... you're mine..."

"Elise-?"

She began to lean into my neck. Her hot breathes fanned against my skin. As she dragged her lips across my collarbone, I felt a chill.

"Elise... stop..."

I try to pull away, but her grip was strong.

She smashes her lips against mine, rough and anxious unlike her usual slow and passionate one.

"...?!"

As she began to leave small licks and nibbles over my skin, it felt extremely ticklish.

"Elise... stop...!"

She freezes.

"Elise...?"

She grips tightly on the collar of my messed-up uniform.

"N/N... do you have to go with her tomorrow...?"

I feel her figure begin to tremble.

"Elise..."

I wrap my arms around her neck and lean my forehead against hers.

"Are you... jealous?"

She slowly nods.

When she lifts her face, her eyes are slightly red. It made me feel a pang in my chest. Had I made her cry?

I quickly wipe away the tears welled up in her eyes.

"I promise I'll make it up to you... I'll stay here tonight."

I say, desperate to calm her, unable to stand another second of seeing her sad.

"In that case... at least let me do this..."

She leaned into my neck and I felt a slight sting.

"Now she'll now who you belong to..."

"...?"

As we made our way to her bed, she plops down, waiting for me to join her. When I did, she curled up against me, intertwining her fingers in mine.

How adorable... it's just like when we were children... she's still young after all.

As I softly stroked her head, she grew sleepier, and her eye lids heavier before she eventually fell asleep.

I tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. She really is beautiful.

I left a small peck on her forehead before going to sleep.
