Mystic (HIATUS)

Chapter 2: Part 5

No one's POV

"We have arrived, Princes and Princesses.", Ms. Yuu, a family butler, exclaimed while kneeling along with two other adult looking butlers in her back. The siblings looked surprised at the sudden appearance as they ate their breakfast.

"You seemed surprised, Prince Arjhay. Her majesty must have told you of our arrival, did she?", Ms. Yuu asked. "Uhmm, no. Not one word.", he replied. "I think she forgot to.", Arlynne added. They all snickered after. The butlers made an 'oh, I get it', look on their faces.

"What's her reason though?", asked Arciel. "We are sent to handle business transactions here in Solaria and to also be your assistants.", one dark haired male butler replied.

At school, as usual, many girls waited for him at the high school building, planning something he doesn't know. So, Arjhay sneaked at the back of the building and entered the back door, leading to the staircase.

"They seemed restless out there. Hey, guys!", he greeted to the group at the back of the room. "Arjhay, we have a problem.", Erliane said as they fell silent. "Problem? What problem?", he asked, looking puzzled after he threw his bag in his chair without looking.

"We can't wield our weapon.", Eljake said. "Plus, we can't do the special techniques you thought us.", Jerimuel said, looking depressed. "*chuckles* Don't worry, you just over used your magic.", he said.

"Huh?", Jenrich said. "What do you mean over used?", Illiana asked. "Your special techniques required lots of magic power. To cut it short, your magic power decreased by over usage. Don't worry, it will slowly regain by time.", Arjhay narrated then smiled.

"Oh,", Erliane gasped. "So it's the reason why we cannot wield our weapons?", Jerimuel exclaimed. "Precisely. Nor the special techniques too.", Arjhay replied.

Joana started to discuss their booth's plan at eight in the morning. "Arjhay, can you please explain how your franchise works and some infos?", she asked/ordered. "Okay,", he replied while getting in front.

"I decided to order a medium sized pastry store for our booth. It's just as big as quarter of our room and is equipped with quality pastry and desserts making machines and equipments. Two or three persons can work inside the store. There are also chairs and tables that come in that package for outdoor use. Already prepared doughs and mixtures are always kept cold so as the toppings, designs and other plating ingredients for the product to be prepared. Drinks are also served but the main products are pastry and desserts.", Arjhay narrated in front of the class. He then resumed to his seat.

"So, who wants to be the pastry chefs? We need at least eight volunteers. The other three are waiters and the two are assistants.", Alfel exclaimed.

Twelve hands shot up in the air like once bended springs that suddenly shot up. "Me!!", shouted Jebrie, the class "muse", as she like to call herself. "Yes, yes, Jebrie. How about Abrina and Ercera?", said Alfel. "We should take Arjhay, too.", Jebrie proposed. "Yes, we will.", Jona said.

"Guys,", Arjhay said while standing from his seat. "I will go to a different booth on 13 and 14 so I won't be free. It's the VASG's booth.", he exclaimed.

"Oh, what a waste.", Jona said. "But we will still name it 'Arjhay's Pastries'!", Alfel exclaimed. "We will then have Lenny joining the group. The waiters will be Arsen, Kelian, Jerimuel and Jess.", Jona declared but before anyone could speak, she exclaimed, "Now let's plan the design of the booth!".

Lunch came. "I still can't believe I was forced to be a waiter.", Jerimuel exclaimed. "Maybe because you have the looks.", Erliane said. "The looks you say? Look at Arjhay just the looks of his arm puts my whole body in shame.", he exclaimed which made the three look serious on him and Arjhay falling in silence and becoming paler than the usual color of his skin.

'I never thought of anybody that way. I do not judge them by looks. Nor I compare them to myself. I-', Arjhay was deep in his thoughts after cut off by a call of his name. "Oh, I-I don't mean that way... I me-mean you're suited in this position better than me.", Jerimuel lightly stammered feeling guilt.

"*gulp* Yes, yes. I- I mean... Just forget it.", Arjhay replied, forcing a weak smile. He hates being trated that way. As a medium of comparison in judging one thing. A definition of being what they want. And it's an unspoken rule in this class.

Never compare yourself to him.

"Well, I really don't mean it.", Jerimuel saud. "Nah, forget it. I kn-", he was cut off by Crithany's holler of his name saying, "Arjhay, someone's looking for you.".

"Yes, coming.", he said while walking to the door. "You're lunch, Prince Arjhay.", Mr. Norman, one of the butlers that came this morning, was giving him a blue lunch box. "Ahh, thanks?", Arjhay sound unsure what to say. "You're welcome Prince Arjhay.", he said then went away.

"What happened? Why is there a guy in black suit out there?", Jena asked. The class huddled in front if him. "I heard he said 'Prince Arjhay' two times.", Aena said to Alfel.

"Oh my God, Arjhay! You're a royalty?! A prince?!", Alfel exclaimed/shouted. The class looked at Alfel and Arjhay. Then, they all bowed since Monarchy still lives in this time. "What? Guys, no! It's just what mom told them to address us. He's a family butler, for Pete's sake.", Arjhay explained.

They all got the idea slowly and returned to their seats. They ate their lunch happily and did forget the talk earlier.

**********
"Time to go home!", Arjhay said after they finished cleaning the mess of their booth's designs.

"Yeah, bye.", Illiana said while going out too. "Hey, did you practiced with your weapon already?", Eljake asked as they walk down the hall to the entrance of the building.

Arjhay stopped and thought for a while. "Yes. I mean no. I don't know how to use my flute, yet. I mean as a weapon.", he replied a while resuming his track.

"True.", Jenrich said. The two girls nodded. "Anyway, bye!", Arjhay shouted as they finally went out of the academy. His brothers and sisters went first since he have to help with their booth.

He stopped walking near the park as he got irritated by the presence of stalkers following him after he left the school.

"Show yourselves.", he said. "My, my, my. I didn't knew you were that aware to even feel our presence.", an irritating voice spoke in the shadows as they slowly reveal themselves.

Arjhay was surprised. "You're...
